Section: Philosophy/Rhetoric/Logic

Richard Dawkins, a leader in the “New Atheism” movement and a best-selling author, is one of the foremost proponents of a gene-centered approach to evolutionary science. Not only does he claim that materialism offers a satisfying purpose for life, but he has trenchantly criticized those who accept the existence of a supernatural creator. Ransom Poythress provides a sound, Reformed, biblical toolkit for defending the faith―looking at where Dawkins’ ideas on science cross philosophical concepts and critiquing them from a Christian perspective.
