Are beliefs in God and in the soul merely relics of pre-scientific superstition? After all, in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries-the so-called 'age of science'-we know that science can be proven by its fruits: it’s helped us split the atom and put men on the moon. Religious faith, on the other hand, couldn’t accomplish these feats. This conflict leaves modern-day Christians challenged by materialist atheists who claim that faith in God has been discredited by modern physics and psychology.The Divine Sting answers their challenge. Contrary to what most Christians think, belief in God and the soul need not remain matters of religious faith. In fact, it is the atheists themselves who ignore Einstein’s shocking revelation about modern science-that the physical universe, including the human body and its brain, have never been observed. We have rather only observed mental effects whose source we can only guess at. Atheists’ naive claims about scientific observation are themselves nothing less than an article of anti-scientific faith.By integrating facts traditionally segregated into categories of philosophy versus theology versus modern science, The Divine Sting will assist you in discovering for yourself how to convert faith in God and belief in the soul into solid, impregnable, and justifiably certain science.

    William James may have been the greatest thinker in history, but René Descartes was the most important. That is because there would have been no James if there had been no Descartes. True, such comparisons are not to be taken literally. There’d have been no Descartes if there’d been no Aristotle, no Aristotle if there’d been no Plato, etc. But what made the later thinkers great...
