The Non-Existence of God

by Nicholas Everitt

Is it possible to prove or disprove God's existence? Arguments for the existence of God have taken many different forms over the in The Non-Existence of God , Nicholas Everitt considers all of the arguments and examines the role that reason and knowledge play in the debate over God's existence. He draws on recent scientific disputes over neo-Darwinism, the implication of 'big bang' cosmology, and the temporal and spatial size of the universe; and discusses some of the most recent work on the subject, leading to a controversial conclusion.

One of the better and more readable of the God debate books neddless to say the title doesn't mean that you have to agree.

محدش هيقدر يتخيّل قد إيه الكتب العربي ضعيفة وإن معندناش مستوى فلسفي غير لما يقرا كتب غربية قوية لناس تقيلة زي الكتاب ده.

Very informative, well written, and well articulated. This certainly has to be one of the better books regarding the philosophy of God's existence (or non-existence). This book doesn't necessarily disprove God but argues against the idea that there could be a God. It dives into topics of morality, evil, cosmological argument, evolution, and so much more. It's a book filled with heavy philosophical discussions, so it definitely was a bit tricky for me to comprehend some things, since I'm not too familiar with philosophy. A lot of arguments seem to go in circles, but I think that's just how philosophy is. Great book if you wish to understand religion from a philosophical perspective and wish to become better at apologetics.

Everitt succinctly refutes all major theist arguments in favor of the logical necessity of God. In this, he establishes that God is not something that *must* be assumed in order for the world to make sense -- it is only something that *is* assumed. His writing style is not only persuasive, but easy to understand and makes this a great introductory work for people interested in debates about the question of if a thing called "God" exists. Overall, a fantastic work, and one that converted me from agnosticism to convinced atheism.

this is hands down the best book that gives a comprehensive analysis of the classical and more contemporary arguments for god (although its a bit lacking on the contemporary side) i would say this definitely isnt for the layman or atleast it is best understood with a bit of background in philosophy this is by far the best book i have read on philosophy of religion and i have read a few although there are somethings which could be better overall its just great if you want to get a bit deeper than surface apologetics or philosophy of religion read this i cant recommend it enough

Finalmente... Este es uno de esos libros que tendré que volver a leer en el futuro (if there is one).
