Rodriguez goes toe-to-toe with religion using reason, logic, history and science to give religion a punch in the face. He talks about the inconsistencies of intelligent design and flaws that are in the Bible and the Quran. If your looking for a great argument/debate when it comes to religion and God(s), then look no further. If your a pious person, be prepared to be challenged because Rodriguez comes from all angles making solid, hard-core points. For the science lovers, the author's scientific research is accurate, in-depth and meticulously done.<br /></span></span></p> <p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="word-spacing:0px;font:medium 'Times New Roman';text-transform:none;color:#000000;text-indent:0px;letter-spacing:normal;border-collapse:separate;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="word-spacing:0px;font:medium 'Times New Roman';text-transform:none;color:#000000;text-indent:0px;letter-spacing:normal;border-collapse:separate;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="word-spacing:0px;font:medium 'Times New Roman';text-transform:none;color:#000000;text-indent:0px;letter-spacing:normal;border-collapse:separate;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>Very insightful</strong>,<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>February 17, 2011<br /><br /></span></span>The author obviously did his homework and research.
