An interesting critique, made with intelligence and respect, of the ideas of Dawkins and other militant defenders of atheism. It highlights the inconsistencies in their theories, the lack of philosophical and theological rigor, as well as the attempts to apply natural selection as an explanation for morality. Additionally, the risk of putting their theories into practice is pointed out. This book is valuable for those seeking solid arguments to counter a growing movement that may confuse those attracted by the rise of science but lacking philosophical and theological resources.
