“A superbly argued book.” —Richard Dawkins, author of The God Delusion The New York Times bestselling author of Why Evolution is True explains why any attempt to make religion compatible with science is doomed to fail In this provocative book, evolutionary biologist Jerry A. Coyne lays out in clear, dispassionate detail why the toolkit of science, based on reason and empirical study, is reliable, while that of religion—including faith, dogma, and revelation—leads to incorrect, untestable, or conflicting conclusions. Coyne is responding to a national climate in which more than half of Americans don’t believe in evolution, members of Congress deny global warming, and long-conquered childhood diseases are reappearing because of religious objections to inoculation, and he warns that religious prejudices in politics, education, medicine, and social policy are on the rise. Extending the bestselling works of Richard Dawkins, Daniel Dennett, and Christopher Hitchens, he demolishes the claims of religion to provide verifiable “truth” by subjecting those claims to the same tests we use to establish truth in science. Coyne irrefutably demonstrates the grave harm—to individuals and to our planet—in mistaking faith for fact in making the most important decisions about the world we live in. Praise for Faith Versus Fact: “A profound and lovely book . . . showing that the honest doubts of science are better . . . than the false certainties of religion.” —Sam Harris, author of The End of Faith

During forty years of caring for districts of churches and isolated believers, besides raising up new churches by evangelistic effort, the author of this work became greatly impressed with the need of educating the people in the fundamental doctrines of the Holy Scriptures. He has found very few who could give from the word of God an intelligent reason for even its most prominent and important truths. This spiritual poverty any minister will discover by personal investigation. When we add to this condition the fact that during the past thirty years new errors have been stealthily introduced among Christians generally--errors which undermine the very foundations of Bible truth and Christianity--it becomes evident that even professing Christians are unprepared for the crises they will be obliged to meet in the near future.

Most Christian lifestyle or environmental books focus on how to live in a sustainable and conservational manner. A CLIMATE FOR CHANGE shows why Christians should be living that way, and the consequences of doing so. Drawing on the two authors' experiences, one as an internationally recognized climate scientist and the other as an evangelical leader of a growing church, this book explains the science underlying global warming, the impact that human activities have on it, and how our Christian faith should play a significant role in guiding our opinions and actions on this important issue.

Facts Over Faith is the first handbook full of 28 shocking biblical facts that anyone can use to free themselves from the Christian religion. Each one is backed up by a chapter devoted to that particular fact with biblical evidence and an action item for the enlightened reader. Put together in historical sequence, these timeless facts paint the true story revealed in the pages of the New Testament - regardless of translation. The reader will be taken on a journey through the New Testament and will learn the secrets the Christian church has been keeping from the masses for close to 2,000 years. This handbook is written as simply as possible to make the shocking revelations it contains easy to understand and to quickly reference within seconds - so that anyone can deprogram themselves from the cult of Christianity and defend themselves against the guile coming from popes, missionaries, priests, deacons, teachers, preachers, pastors, ministers, evangelists, televangelists and the rest of the Christians making money off of the masses kept in the dark. This book contains enough light (truth) for humanity to escape the darkness. The light of the Information Age is now dawning and humanity is finally waking up to see what has been - and is being - unveiled and revealed.
