CitaatSince evolution became fashionable, the glorification of Man has taken a new form. We are told that evolution has been guided by one great Purpose: through the millions of years when there were only slime, or trilobites, throughout the ages of dinosaurs and giant ferns, of bees and wild flowers, God was preparing the Great Climax. At last, in the fullness of time, He produced Man, including such specimens as Nero and Caligula, Hitler and Mussolini, whose transcendent glory justified the long painful process. For my part, I find even eternal damnation less incredible, certainly less ridiculous, than this lame and impotent conclusion which we are asked to admire as the supreme effort of Omnipotence. ~ Bertrand Russell |

Hello, congratulations on your review of John Haught's God and New Atheism. I read the book myself, and share most of your criticisms. I am really bugged by the "you-have-not-read-theology" argument: you do not need to be an expert on every major astrological book in order to know that astrology is a farse.
