Title: The future of reason?
Review: Harris makes many points in his book, primarily how extremism in religion (he singles out Islam in one chapter) is divisive and incompatible with reason and rationality. I agree with that, but I don't agree that all religions are incompatible with rationality or reasonable thinking.And therein lies the problem with Harris's book. He assumes that because some religions promote terrorism, then all religions must do the same. This is a logical fallacy (the fallacy of division). So what we have is a book ostensibly about reason being based on a logical fallacy.Oops.Harris makes the same mistake that Carl Sagan did in "The Demon-Haunted World." He states that if you accept a literal translation of the Bible as true, then the Earth must be flat.Read Isaiah 40:22: "There is One who is dwelling above the circle of the Earth." Try reading the book you are trying to discredit first, and save some of your credibility in the process.
