Title: Lots of thinking-Little Science
Review: It's a good read but the author begins the book by saying that a thorough scientific investigation into religion should be undertaken. The book disapoints in that regard. It is really an intellectual inquiry into "why religion?" The author is a philosopher and writes like a philosopher. He presents his theories and does an excellent job defending them with logical arguments- but that is not science.He is also a bit condescending to people of faith when he calls non-believers like himself "brights". So are people of faith "dulls"? This is unnecessary and alienates the very people he is trying to reach.Books by Pascal Boyer, Matt Ridley, Steven Pinker, and other scientists are more illuminating.
Is the review positive or negative?
