دانلود کتاب 27 Questions from a Skeptic: Responses from an Ex-Atheist Scientist (God & Science Book 12)

This book presents 27 hard-hitting questions (on Christian Faith) from a skeptic, together with respectful and reasoned responses from an ex-atheist Christian.

Most of these are questions that the author himself had during his search for ultimate truth, when he was looking into the existence (or non-existence) of God, and the truth (or falsehood) of Christianity. Over time, he came to realize that there are reasonable (and rational) answers to his questions. This helped him to come to the intellectual conviction that Christian Theism (belief in the Christian God) is reasonable and rational. Ultimately, this helped him to commit his life to Christ.

This book includes questions on (a) Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross, (b) the size of the universe, (c) God’s slowness, (d) slowness of the gospel, (e) origin of the Christian notion of God, (f) the Trinity, (g) suffering, (h) miracles, (i) a mother’s sorrow, (j) eternal punishment, (k) an equitable hell, (l) worship, (m) the boredom of eternal worship, (n) Bible contradictions, (o) the Bible as a first century human product of Palestine, (p) God never answering prayer, (q) hearsay and conjecture in the gospels, (r) the creation myth being debunked, (s) a logical problem with omniscience, (t) a logical problem with a perfect God, (u) God and the flying spaghetti monster, (v) those who haven’t heard the gospel, (w) an inhospitable planet, (x) smallpox and God, (y) God approving suffering, (z) God not healing amputees, and (za) terminally ill children.

As mentioned above, there are reasonable (and rational) answers to all of these questions. This book presents the questions and answers with this in mind.

About the Author:

The description below is from the book “There is a God: How an Atheist Scientist Changed his Mind” by John M. Kinson.

This book, “There is a God” (TIAG), presents the questions and answers, thoughts and discussions that occurred in the course of an Atheist Scientist moving from an atheistic world-view to belief in God. Many years of investigation, and an honest and rational appraisal of the scientific and philosophical evidence led him to the conclusion that God does exist.

John (pen-name) is a research scientist with more than 100 publications in the hard-sciences, more than 10 inventions (with patents in various countries), and numerous scientific and technical awards in the course of his scientific career. He has collaborated with and published hard-science research articles with scientists from many of the top research universities in the world.

In this book (TIAG), he presents a brief history of his journey (intellectually speaking) from Atheism to Theism and ultimately to Christ.

The book is not intended to be a rigorous defense of Theism, nor is it intended to be a rigorous defense of Christianity, but rather the path taken intellectually by one Atheist Scientist to a Theistic Worldview, and ultimately to a commitment to Christ.
