Download Faith Versus Fact: Why Science and Religion Are Incompatible AudioBook Free
In his provocative new e book, evolutionary biologist Jerry A. Coyne lays out in clear, dispassionate details why the toolkit of technology, based on reason and empirical research, is reliable, while that of faith - including trust, dogma, and revelation - leads to incorrect, untestable, or conflicting conclusions. Coyne is responding to a national weather in which over half Americans don't have confidence in advancement (and congressmen refuse global warming), and warns that religious prejudices and strictures in politics, education, drugs, and social insurance plan are on the rise. Stretching the best-selling works of Richard Dawkins, Daniel Dennett, and Christopher Hitchens, he demolishes the claims of faith to provide verifiable "truth" by subjecting those claims to the same exams we use to determine truth in technology. Coyne irrefutably demonstrates the grave injury - to individuals and also to our world - in mistaking trust for fact in making the most important decisions about the earth we live in.
