A few key insights from Chapter 1:

1. As evolutionary science has progressed, the room for religious belief has continuously shrunk, undermining belief in an omnipotent and omnibenevolent God.

2. Since the late 1800s, important voices in Western culture have testified to the "death of God," including philosophers, scientists, historians, artists, and writers.

3. Those who argue that belief in God has lost its rational grounding sometimes point to the advancement of modern science, and the picture of reality it provides, as the primary cause of this demise.

4. The notion that science has destroyed God is widely held in the media, educational settings, and our culture at large.
