J. The Divine Default : Why Faith Is Not the Answer / J.J. Dyken. New York : Algora Pub., 2013. 1 online resource (pages cm.) text txt rdacontent computer c rdamedia online resource cr rdacarrier Includes bibliographical references and index. Description based on print version record. JJ Dyken takes commonly-asserted religious claims and applies each of them to modern-day examples to demonstrate the often fallacious nature of religious belief. He uses a mixture of common sense and scrupulous logic to mount an attack on not only religion itself but also upon the religious pseudoscientists who try to justify their assertions with faulty science.
