Berlinsky - who says atheist - does nothing of the trial of the idea of a world without God, they are the only arguments, and the logic on which they rest, that interest. However, he notes, the unbelievers pretext to discredit an idea (the idea of God) they think irrational, often without any advance intelligence battalion arguments that ultimately do not make sense .
First example of Berlinski: according to atheists, they killed so many in the name of God, if only for that, it would do without God. However, he notes, all murders perpetrated by atheists twentieth century (communist democide, Nazism ...) accumulate over restricted itself more deaths than all the wars of religions have made 2000 years . The countdown is definitely not favorable to atheists, he notes, and the idea of God seems finally to the inverse of their argument, allowing the course of history some restraint the twentieth century s' was quick to forget!
But more importantly, Berlinski shows how often advanced by scientists ideas that take part in the debate as atheists, ideas such as the "random designer" do not hold back ... not long, and First, for logical reasons, in what some have called God of all time! How to think of scientific discoveries such as Big Bang, for example, without presupposing a prior existence of information which has not yet happened: namely time, space and matter ...?
Furthermore, science, he notes, is only interested in the matter. It therefore provides no additional evidence - neither experimentally nor conceptually - that would affirm the existence or non-existence of God. In other words, it does not help to think of God and infinity. The arguments of Richard Dawkins or Stephen Hawkins or any other destroyers of God therefore have no legitimacy and only the symbolic violence that gives them their title explains, Berlinski notes, to be listened to again.
Finally, and this is not a lesser quality, Berlinski is definitely hilarious, sometimes burlesque when he pretends to continue the logic "illogical" he complains. It does not necessarily add to the clarity of the way, but it makes the most entertaining read!
For francophones read English, the book is easily accessible and even reads very quickly. While the man has the vocabulary, but the difficulty is less to be sought in the language of the ideas and the depth of reasoning.
