Contrary to some of the other reviews, I think this is a pretty good book. Let me point out that my own background is astrophysics (undergrad) and mathematics (grad). Stenger does a creditable job of laying out the major philosophical issues of quantum theory. He ...

God: The Failed Hypothesis. How Science Shows That God Does Not Exist

Victor J. Stenger

Prometheus Books, 2008

Relief
Believers will not be swayed by this book of rational arguments, of course, because they are not interested in separating history from mythology when it comes to their beliefs. Their faith is blind faith and most will defend it to the death, usually someone else'. So ...

Victor J. Stenger

Prometheus Books, 2000

takes some getting used to...

Not by Design: The Origin of the Universe

Victor J. Stenger

Prometheus Books, 1988

Fantastic!
This book makes a compelling case for the idea that the universe didn't come about through the handywork of some magical space pixie. The naysayers will throw about their arguments from incredulity while kicking & screaming but, in the end, even they (if anything ...
