Answers to My Questions
"How to Argue with an Atheist" by Michael Hinz, non-fiction. Only 120 pages, this small book is crammed with valuable information for minds like mine. I was raised a Catholic, in a Catholic family, and through my adolescent years was supported on the grounds of faith, and faith alone. Catholics are taught not to question God, not to dwelve into the Bible too deeply, and above all, the way to understanding is through faith. Being curious, and thirsty for answers this is not the coat that I prefere to wear for warmth. Michael Hinz stands up to the conclusion of faith, and waves a flag in the face of those who seek no further. He shows us time and again that God is more rational a choice then nonbelief. That we can fend off arguments from those who seek to undermine our beliefs for sheer joy of spreading their misery. It's a game to win an argument, and place doubt in your opppnent. Yet Hinz doesn't only offer evidence to merit good, rational opposition to an argument, he also opens the door to view our own faith, and answers to our own questions. "Few subjects arouse such passions as does the question of God's existence". Go past the comforts of society and seek your answers.

Why?
This is a very interesting book but the author doesn't adequately describe why anyone would even talk to an Atheist much less argue with one. That not withstanding, the book is a fine introductory logic textbook. The problem is, good Thiests, Diests, and even Christians don't need logic, they have faith to depend on and a little learning is, in fact, a dangerous thing.
The author covers basic logic topics quite well but does not even mention Occam's Razor or the fallicy of unnecessary design both of which one can expect to have hearled at them by an Atheist should they be so foolish as to engage such a nonbeliever in a debate in which logic plays a part.
The author says that scientists are no different than Christians because they have "faith" in Quantum Mechanics even though it is non-intuitive and nobody realy understands how or why it works. Well, scientists do not have "faith" in Quantum Mechanics. They just know that up to now, it gives the right answers and predicts the outcome of experiments. Should it stop doing so, or if a better explanation comes along, scientists will be the first to laugh and toss QM in the ash can of history and move on. This is the lesson that logic teaches you and that is why science progresses and religion stagnates. I think that this book could be very valuable to any religous person.
