Branch reviews Why Science Does Not Disprove God

Why Science Does Not Disprove God cover

NCSE's deputy director Glenn Branch reviewed Amir D. Aczel's Why Science Does Not Disprove God (William Morrow, 2014) for eSkeptic (April 22, 2015). He was unenthusiastic about the book, particularly on account of its treatment of evolution, although he allowed, "Aczel writes clearly and fluently, and the text is occasionally enlivened by his engaging reports of his interviews with sympathetic contemporary scientists." But, Branch concluded, "the value of his book overall is vitiated by not only his sloppiness with the historical, scientific, and philosophical material but also his uncharitable treatment of his opponents. ... Anyone seeking a judicious critique of the New Atheism's claims about religion and science will be disappointed by Aczel's book." The review was also published in Skeptic 20:1.
