Most people assume that life after death depends on the existence of God—if you don’t believe in God, then you can’t believe in the afterlife. Atheists in the Afterlife shows how that assumption is completely wrong. In this exciting book, Sea Kimbrell explains that there are eight paths to life after death, even if God does not exist. In plain language, Sea describes the scientific and philosophical concepts underlying each of those eight paths. Atheists in the Afterlife is an extraordinary book, illustrating that what we think we know about life—and death—may be only the ...

Such a life-based ethics is described and contrasted to religious ethics. Good is not only possible without God - it is better! (This booklet is a modified version of a chapter in The Australian Book of Atheism.)

Creationism, especially in its pseudoscience manifestation, Intelligent Design, has failed to make any significant progress in its campaign to be adopted by mainstream biomedical scientists. Instead, it is almost universally condemned and rejected by scientific bodies througout the developed world. It makes no predictions and cannot be tested therefore it is usless as a science and has still not generated a single peer-reviewed paper in any mainstream science journal.. The only signifcant success of the Discovery Institutes 'Wedge' Strategy, launched in 1991 and now hopelessly behind ...

In an era where traditional sources of meaning—faith, community, and shared values—are increasingly eroded by modernity and secularization, many find themselves adrift in a sea of existential uncertainty. This pervasive sense of disconnection and purposelessness has given rise to what is now recognized as the “meaning crisis.” This book delves into the historical, psychological, and sociological dimensions of this crisis, examining how societal shifts have contributed to our current malaise. It then explores the Christian narrative as a profound and enduring response, offering a ...

I grew up in the Assembly of God, product of small town charismatic Pentecostal pastors, terrifying televangelists and a rod not spared. My flavor of fundamentalism demanded love of a detestable deity and condemned critical thought, inflicting it’s scars with both the message and its mediators. Evangelist apologist in youth, tormented by purity culture and grasping at a Rapture pass, I couldn’t compartmentalize my thinking anymore at age 22, and left the Evangelicals. My journey from faith began with growing intrigue in the natural world, gnawing need to understand history, and ...

Fools Despise Wisdom is an exploration of atheism through the eyes of an author who is not a scientist or philosopher. Duden takes listeners through his version of atheism with reasoned arguments and unique points of view. The goal of the book is to help advance understanding of the "average" atheist, not to change people's minds or contribute to cultural divides.

Auch wenn es uns nicht immer gleich auffällt: Unser Alltag ist durchdrungen von Religion. Vom Kirchengeläut bis zum Kopftuch der Kindergärtnerin, das Religiöse behelligt auch die, die nicht an Gott glauben. Dabei sind sich heute die meisten Deutschen einig: Religion ist vor allem Privatsache. Philipp Möller zeigt, wie man sich mit Religion kritisch auseinandersetzen kann, ohne dass es mit Islamophobie zu tun hat.

How do you know what you know - or what you think you know? Have you ever wondered why you believe in God, why some people don’t believe in God, or what it means to be religious? How do you answer the question, “Who are you?” Norman Orr provides new ways to think about these questions and many more in this book that promotes the idea of embracing biological humanism.

I was seven years old when I realized that I did not believe in God, or that at the very least, something was not right about the whole thing. Some of the things God said and did made no sense, and some of the things God did were just plain mean. Either God wasn't all powerful, or God was not good. Or, God wasn't there. I ultimately decided the latter was true. It was morality that made me atheist. My purpose is not to debate the existence of God. You either believe or you don't. This book is about values.

A biographical exposé of the dark side of modern corporate religion, as told by a former Evangelical fundamentalist Christian minister turned gay activist. Says Tom, "How did I ever fall for it? When I accepted Jesus Christ into my heart as my personal Lord and savior, I went all in. Years later I had to struggle to find a way to get out of both the ministry and the closet as well. I was a gay man trapped in the ranks of the Fightin' Fundies - constantly mentally recording their every word."

A spoof Internet Creationist's handbook to highlight all the major fallacies and tactics used by creationists on social media platforms.

"I grew up in a magical world. Negative words attracted negative experiences. Thought, like a metaphysical sculptor taking the circumstances of the world as raw material, had the incredible power to bring about the most diverse imagined situations. All environments and people manifested good or bad energies capable of positively or negatively affecting the course of my existence. I had a personal relationship with the omnipotent Being who created the universe. He was permanently at my disposal like a customer service that never shuts down. Fortunately for me, commerce with the beyond was ...

Does God exist? If yes, then why can't we see Him? If we can't see Him then how can we be sure of His existence? If God exists, then why did He create the universe, and what is the purpose and goal of my life? If God is all powerful, then how can we have free will? If we don't have free will, then how can He hold us responsible for our actions? There is so much suffering and evil in this world that a merciful and powerful God seems improbable. These and many other similar questions cross our minds at least at some point in our life.

Drawing from genetics, comparative anatomy, paleontology, and molecular biology, this book demonstrates how life’s complexity is not the product of a designer but of countless natural processes shaped by evolutionary forces. From transitional fossils and genetic evidence to observed instances of speciation and the evolution of antibiotic resistance, every chapter reveals how evolution continues to explain the diversity of life with unmatched clarity. The book also confronts the misuse of science by leading ID proponents like William Dembski, Stephen Meyer, and Michael Behe, exposing their...

ID is not a problem for science; rather science is a problem for ID. This book shows why. It exposes the fallacy of Intelligent Design by showing that, when examined in detail, biological systems are anything but intelligently designed. They show no signs of a plan and are quite ludicrously complex for whatever can be described as a purpose. The Intelligent Design movement relies on almost total ignorance of biological science and seemingly limitless credulity in its target marks. Its only real appeal appears to be to those who find science too difficult or too much trouble to learn yet ...
