The author thoroughly rebuts every argument that claims to "prove" God's existence — arguments based on logic, common sense, philosophy, ethics, history and science. Atheist Universe avoids the esoteric language and logic used by philosophers and presents its scientific evidence in simple lay terms, making it a richly entertaining and easy-to-read introduction to atheism. A comprehensive primer, it addresses all the historical and scientific questions, including: Is there proof that God does not exist? What evidence is there of Jesus's resurrection? Can creation science reconcile scripture with the latest scientific discoveries? Atheist Universe also answers ethical issues such as: What is the meaning of life without God? It's a spellbinding inquiry that ultimately arrives at a controversial and well-documented conclusion. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Exceeded all of my expectations...I've been questioning relgion for quite some time, but never really labeled myself as an atheist. This book is intended as a specific rebuttal to the creative design 'science' promoted by religiously influenced schools. Not only does it wonderfully refute creative design with solid scientific arguements, it also points out many contradictions within the bible on various topics. Rating:  - Thought the book OK except for what I outlined below.I ordered David Mill's 'Atheist Universe' with expectations that it would be written with scientific knowledge that I haven't already been exposed to. Knowledge that furthers my already strong conviction that, indeed, religion has proved itself to be one of the strongest 'memes' pervading all societies. I had an interest in seeing how this former born-again individual who had been raised in a Christian home, but now a professing atheist for the past 30 years, would address these different scientific ...

Then, this morning, I was going through a pile of stuff on my desk and there was the book in question, apparently never opened by me. Am I going nuts? Did some supernatural force put the book there? Does God exist and He wants me to read this book? I have been researching the absurd idea that ... Read More Rating:  - Godless Heathen Tells AllBe sure to order this book with a plain brown wrapper so your believer friends won't report you to the Inquisition! Believers won't buy this book, but those seeking a popularist justification for atheism will be pleased. David Mills' greatest asset is a clear writing style. I read his book after finishing Susan Jacoby's "Age of American Unreason" and found his style refreshingly simple. Part of the fun of Mills' book is his willingness to excoriate persons on the other side of the church ... Read More Rating: - Serious, good book. Includes irrelevant quotes, thoughThis is one of the best books to come out on the subject since Carl Sagan's The Demon-Haunted World (and boy, have there been plenty of them published lately!) It is well written and avoids the irate, bashing tone of most authors. Clearly, the debate is far from over, simply because no amount of science or reasoning has (so far) done away with the possibility of there being "something else out there" besides the worldly existence we perceive with our senses. In other words, the notion of life beyond death ... Read More
