In my review of his book, I will argue that Atkins walks a thin line between established scientific fact and wild speculation, but that he does so in an engrossing and ultimately plausible way. He certainly doesn't establish that the universe can arise from nothing, but he convincingly argues that there's no reason why it couldn't.
Conjuring the Universe – A Book Review
In my review of his book, I will argue that Atkins walks a thin line between established scientific fact and wild speculation, but that he does so in an engrossing and ultimately plausible way.

Biology and Intelligent Design -A Book Review of “Undeniable” by Douglas Axe
In the next few posts I will be discussing the argument in favour of design presented by Douglas Axe in this book. Will he be able to put some thought-provoking evidence on the table? Or will the book fail to make any convincing case at all?
Why the Earth is not Designed
Here's another video. I'm often asked how there can be no God if the chances of our planet being habitable are so slim. This is the reason why.
