About this book
Religious belief faces the tests of reason, scientific knowledge and historical criticism in Vivian Phelips's study of unbelief. Taking a rationalist position, the author examines Christian claims about miracles, biblical authority and the relationship between evolution and creation. The opening preface presents the inquiry as a search for both intellectual clarity and a basis for moral life, with an emphasis on speaking candidly about doubt.
The discussion of design gives a close example of the book's argumentative method. Phelips compares explanations that depend on a guiding intelligence with accounts of a universe governed by consistent natural laws. He challenges analogies used by religious defenders and considers how organisms respond to their surroundings.
