No post-modern pussy-footing for Stenger (emeritus, physics and astronomy, U. of Hawaii and adjunct, philosophy, U. of Colorado) as he subjects the notion of god and various derivative concepts to the cold logic of science. His perspectives include the illusion of design, the failures of revelation, the argument from evil, and living in the godless universe. Annotation ©2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
