Is Christianity obsolete? Can an intelligent, educated person really believe the Bible? Or do the atheists have it right? Has Christianity been disproven by science, debunked as a force for good, and discredited as a guide to morality? 'Bestselling author Dinesh D'Souza ( What's So Great About America ) looks at Christianity with a questioning eye, but treats atheists with equal skepticism. The result is a book that will challenge the assumptions of both believers and doubters and affirm that there really is, indeed, something great about Christianity. D'Souza reveals: '- Why Christianity explains what modern science tells us about the universe and our origins"that matter was created out of nothing, that light preceded the sun"better than atheism does '- How Christianity created the framework for modern science, so that Christianity and science are not irreconcilable, but science and atheism might be '- Why the alleged sins of Christianity"the Crusades, the Inquisition, the Galileo affair (“an atheist's fable�)"are vastly overblown '- Why atheist regimes are responsible for the greatest mass murders of history '- Why atheists fear the Big Bang theory and the “anthropic principle� of the universe, which are keystones of modern astronomy and physics '- How Christianity explains consciousness and free will, which atheists have to deny '- Why ultimately you can't have Western civilization"and all we value from it"without the Christianity that gave it birth.
