Against All Gods

What’s Right and Wrong About the New Atheism

By: Phillip E. Johnson, John Mark Reynolds

Narrated by: John McLain

Length: 3 hrs and 19 mins

Publisher's summary

The father of the intelligent design movement, Phillip E. Johnson, thinks the new atheists are right! How? They’ve put serious discussion about God back on the public agenda. 

Despite their conclusions, folks like Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, and Daniel Dennett are asking the right questions. They’re making belief in any religion an issue again, especially in the university context where, for decades, questions about faith and reason have been taken off the table for serious discussion. Open debate is exactly what we need on the topics of God, evolution, and creation. 

Together Johnson and John Mark Reynolds help us see the unique opportunity these vociferous and even evangelistic atheists are creating in their attempt to convert us to their unbelief. The authors show that we need not fear or react against these challenges. Rather they point to better ways to engage the opinions of this new, aggressive form of anti-religious activity. With skill and insight they energetically take on the question of whether the evidence leads to a materialistic naturalism or points toward a creator God.

Be informed. Be encouraged. Join the discussion.

Good not great

The authors share contradicting viewpoints and it comes together as a good book. It is good but not great and worth a listen.

Refreshing openness to opposing thoughts

A rather interesting discussion of atheism by two Christian thinkers. While the authors do not agree with much of what atheists and secularists believe, they possess a refreshing openness to questions posed by them, strongly feeling that respectful dialogue can benefit both philosophical camps.

Creationist talking points

There is nothing substantial to this booklet. is is a sad series of tired legal arguments that don't actually touch the topic.

Painful

I couldn't even make it through the introduction. The narrator drones on in such monotone i had to stop
listening. Looking forward to reading the print version.

A Refutation of an Atheist Worldwide

There are a few audible books that are not just worth listening to but worth purchasing to read, Against all God's is one of them. In this book the authors provide evidence that an atheistic approach to life rest on faith that is not rooted in reality. Thus, the anti-theist are reduced to name calling and osterising those they disagree with. Those who reject the reality of God have become good at monopolizing the public audiences by telling a good story. But sadly, their story is based on a protected lie, which has left future generations the worse for it. Our only hope is for individuals who will listen to and read this book and then become active advocates for the truth in public and private conversations. We must also demand that legal and protective measures to defend an atheistic worldview in science, education, and through the law be ended. Both sides of this argument should be able to present their evidence for their position unhindered by phobias of the supernatural or the false superiority of metaphysical naturism in science.

Interesting

God may have had to give us sorrow in order for us to experience joy. Somewhere between the two is beauty. Otherwise we’d just be zombies, like Richard Dawkins (joke)
