Don’t be put off-balance by the title of my review; this book does not use strictly “religious” or “Bible-based” arguments to poke holes in scientific atheism. Rather, it employs science, logic, philosophy and a healthy dose of common sense to poignantly illustrate that many of the scientific claims of atheism are quite unscientific. This, of course, comes from a man who is by no means anti-science. He just happens to believe that the great theories of science are not equipped to provide a reliable roadmap to navigate all of human experience. In the end, what you walk away with after reading The Devil’s Delusion is a biting and sarcastic deflation of a puffed-up worldview less God.The author of The Devil’s Delusion, David Berlinski, is an ivy-League educated Ph.D (Princeton, philosophy) and was also a postdoctoral fellow in mathematics and molecular biology at Columbia University. (He is also a self-described “secular Jew.”) Generally speaking, his book provides a strategic, point/counter-point/point style argument that questions the validity of scientific analysis when it extends itself beyond answering, “How?” He elucidates that science is silent about God (i.e., gravity and random mutations have no opinion on the matter), and in many cases when science does overreach, the results can be monstrous.In each chapter Berlinksi exposes the scientific pretensions that support the atheistic worldview. He interacts with some big ideas (e.g. morality, cosmology, fine-tuning of the universe, and Darwinian macroevolution by natural selection) and a large chuck of his arguments are constructed in response to notable atheists (e.g. Weinberg, Dennett, Harris, Hitchens). Because of this approach, the author can spend a paragraph or two with one idea (e.g. those from Pinker) while spending entire chapters scrutinizing the works of others (e.g. Richard Dawkins).The author has a very sharp writing style that makes this book very quick and enjoyable to read. He has the unique ability to say much by writing very little. His execution is swift and his frequent use of piercing quips and acerbity left a smile on my face after turning every page.In the end, The Devil’s Delusion takes a rational approach to challenge the pretensions held by those who have unyielding faith in scientific atheism. This makes theistic thought not only defensible, but a logical alternative after a scrupulous analysis of the alternatives.

I am reluctant as hell to even think about presuming to speak on Mr. Berlinski's behalf but it seems to me that he simply listened to, and carefully read, the arguments presented by atheists and so-called scientists and he had no more arduous of a task than letting those people hang themselves. If there is a "secret" in all of this, it is indeed his use of the word "pretentious". Buried beneath science's pompous and self-righteous certainty is a manipulation of words and language that, at the end of the day, seeks only to replace religious faith with faith in science. The irony is that along the way, Mr. Berlinski made what had previously seemed to be complicated, and convoluted, theories very clear and easy to understand. Pardon the overused analogy, but this really is David v Goliath. He has a gift for keeping on the lighter side that which is normally approached as matters of deep and serious consideration (which they are, of course). You are left feeling like he is talking to you rather than at you. He is not trying to convert, but rather only inform and teach. The book is simply excellent.

If you believe that science is sufficient to explain everything that matters in life, you should read this book. It is not anti-science. It illustrates why God and science are not mutually exclusive. It is not intended to be a proof of the existence of God or any god. Rather, it is intended to illustrate the folly of those who are so sure that science is all we need. In that sense it is anti-atheism.

Brilliant book by agnostic mathematician and scientist who, using sometimes devastating criticism delivered via the medium of often very amusing drollery, skewers those scientists who arrogantly pretend that atheism has scientific advantages over theism. In response to those pretenses, he argues persuasively that theism is at least as convincing as atheism, if one honestly assesses not just the current state of scientific knowledge, but also the inherent nature of knowledge and its limitations. I bought this book after I saw a video of Berlinski giving a talk. I had the impression watching and listening to him that there was something gigantic about his mind and spirit. The book however does not convey that strange sense of powerful presence he had at the podium. Still, the book is a wonderful short read if you are fascinated by the intersection of physics and evolutionary biology with debates between theists and atheists.

I like the way Berlinski uses the words, thoughts, and theories of the proponents of evolution and the origin of the universe to show they really haven't proven their case and--in failing to do so--actually make a stronger case for Intelligent Design. Although he admits to being an Atheist, he doesn't divulge his own feelings on the subject. Perhaps my most meaningful take-away is the infinite regression that results from the illusive search for the initial state.While Berlinski brings scripture into his discussion, he does it from a layman's point of view. There is obviously more depth and understanding to the Bible than that which comes from a casual reading, or as it may be the case even for most "Christians," what they hear they are supposed to believe.You simply do not try to shake the ivory towers of theology—be it the deeply entrenched “orthodoxy” of the Christian church, or that of the “First Church of Darwin.” If you are a Christian, you are expected to tow the line. Try to make waves, and you will suffer the consequences from its leaders and devoted adherents. Likewise, Berlinski, being an Atheist, does not buy into the explanations of his peers and he calls them out. The negative reviews of this book make that point clearly.

This should be required reading for college freshmen science majors. It would serve to humble them before they get bombarded with Darwinian hogwash and illogical scientific claims.
