Publisher Description
From a bestselling author, an “incendiary and uproarious” assault on the pretensions of scientific atheists (National Review)
Militant atheism is on the rise. Prominent thinkers including Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, Daniel Dennett, and Christopher Hitchens have published best-selling books denigrating religious belief. And these authors are merely the leading edge of a larger movement that includes much of the scientific community. In response, mathematician David Berlinski, himself a secular Jew, delivers a biting defense of religious thought. The Devil's Delusion is a brilliant, incisive, and funny book that explores the limits of science and the pretensions of those who insist it is the ultimate touchstone for understanding our world.

Brilliant
Brilliant. Exposes the shallowness of thought behind scientific atheism. Indeed, calls out the almost desperate scientific atheist belief in the darwinian creation myth as an alternative to the traditional religious creation myths.
