Title: for believers and nonbelievers
Review: one of the things thomas paine sets out to do is show you that the bible's authorship is spurious. another thing he will do is ask you to consider the plausibility of miracles. is it more likely nature would go out of her course or that man would tell a lie? thomas paine's main message in the age of reason is this: the bible disgraces god. it is full of lies, contradictions, errors, and doubts. and since doubts are the opposite of faith, of what value is the bible anyway? in the end thomas paine embraces science since the only way we can honestly know god is to study his creation.i think this book is valuable to believers and nonbelievers alike. paine is a believer himself, so there is no disrespect, yet he crushes believers' oldest weapon while advocating science which is something nonbelievers can take comfort in.
