Ratings and reviews

Great information about logical fallacies, but to be honest, the author uses the examples to poke at things he personally doesn't like, and seems ill informed about the lack of support among modern scientists for the classical theory of Darwinian evolution. (See The Scientific Dissent From Darwinism; a collection of over 1000 Ph.D scientists who don't support the theory.) He also erroneously asserted that Christians get their beliefs through faith, which is absurd. Christians use evidence and reasoning just like everyone else. and even atheists have to use some faith—simply because of the circular nature of trying to determine whether our own reasoning skills are accurate. In those regards the author is very petty. But, otherwise, great book.
