I can't deny that I have been enlightened by several concepts and ideas. However the writer kept whirlwinding again and again narrating the same ideas repeatedly. The writer is more like a politician who wants to win the hearts and minds of the different factions. He kept relentlessly flirting with both atheist and believers and launching different labels for every party. He has been distributing the responsibilities of the fallacies of different concepts upon all the share holder. I can't deny that these justifications are not without logic. In brief we can summarize this book as a manifesto of agnosticism.
I really enjoyed parts of this book, in particular pages 44-124. I like that this book addresses the issue of belief/disbelief in a very different way. However I think she should have taken the issue a little farther, as a Christian, I believe, too much was left unsaid. But there are several things that will give one pause & reflect on how we know God & what we base it on & how we communicate that.
This book reveals an interesting intersection between neuroscience and religion. The book covers a variety of issues like evolutionary psychology, atheism, and rationality.
