Normally I don't comment on the books to the right -- and normally I'd include them only after I'd finished them. But on "God & Stephen Hawking; Whose Design Is It Anyway" I put it down at about one-third read. His angle is countering the arguments of Stephen Hawking and science in general, that hints at any question of God. So I'd expected some intriguing, thought-provoking arguments. But I was thoroughly disappointed. When I finally got to "God is a person from whom natural law comes" I couldn't take it anymore. Clearly he is too invested in the mythology. Beyond that, his arguments seemed sophomoric and his tone is snide and condescending. Hawking has nothing to worry about. I'm glad I only spent five dollars on the book.
