Über diesen Titel

In his provocative new book, evolutionary biologist Jerry A. Coyne lays out in clear, dispassionate detail why the toolkit of science, based on reason and empirical study, is reliable, while that of religion - including faith, dogma, and revelation - leads to incorrect, untestable, or conflicting conclusions. Coyne is responding to a national climate in which over half of Americans don't believe in evolution (and congressmen deny global warming), and warns that religious prejudices and strictures in politics, education, medicine, and social policy are on the rise.

Extending the best-selling works of Richard Dawkins, Daniel Dennett, and Christopher Hitchens, he demolishes the claims of religion to provide verifiable "truth" by subjecting those claims to the same tests we use to establish truth in science. Coyne irrefutably demonstrates the grave harm - to individuals and to our planet - in mistaking faith for fact in making the most important decisions about the world we live in.

"[T]his is an important book that deserves an open-minded readership." ( Kirkus)

I just finished listening to the audiobook for the second time. Jerry Coyne explains the incompatibility of faith and fact in a very convincing and concise way.

You will be surprised how big the difference of religious belief in the USA versus Northern European countries is.

I wish that politicians around the world would read this eye-opening book.

I also highly recommend the author’s book „Why evolution is true“. Any reasonable person would be convinced that evolution is a fact, after having read it.

One of the best books ever!
