Summary: Advanced Reading for the Learned Atheist or Theist
Review: This is not a book for the beginning or learning Atheist. Edis' book requires a minimum understanding of philosophy, theological arguments, and general sciences. Edis, a professor of physics, writes for the advanced Atheist or theist at a collegiate level. Edis' writing is eloquent and articulate and he strives to cover every angle of his arguments. Edis attempts to help the theist define a plausible god and then systematically goes through all the different types of theological arguments in an attempt to see if that idea of god is plausible. In the end, Edis shows that the idea of god is not plausible under scientific, philosophical, ideological, or logical reasoning. God falls in the realm of faith in the long run. The beginner will find this book very hard to follow and will ultimately leave the book frustrated. For the advanced Atheist, this is a great read that causes you to think about these traditional and non-traditional theistic arguments in a new light.
