Why There Is No God: Simple Responses to 20 Common Arguments for the Existence of God by Armin Navabi“Why There Is No God" is a basic counterargument book to twenty popular arguments for the existence of “God”. Former Muslim from Iran and founder of Atheist Republic, Armin Navabi provides readers with an introductory-level book that can use more refinement and stronger analysis. There is a lot to like here but it has been done before and much better. This average 77-page book includes twenty chapters each covering an argument for the existence of “God” followed up by the author’s response.Positives:1. A brief, accessible book.2. The fascinating topic of religion.3. In general, I agree with all the conclusions made by the author.4. The book is laid out fairly well; it’s very easy to follow. Each chapter covers an argument for the existence of “God” followed by a counterargument.5. Unlike most atheist books this one ventures out to Islam as well. The author is a former Muslim and his background helps shed light to another form of belief.6. Sensible quotes. “This is perhaps the greatest problem with the idea of complexity by design. Invoking a deity doesn't solve the problem of complexity; it introduces a new problem.”7. Demonstrates inconsistencies in scripture.8. Problems with supernatural causes. “Another problem with ascribing supernatural causes to mysterious events is that they are unfalsifiable, meaning that they can’t be disproved. Unfalsifiable claims hold no merit without evidence.”9. The Morality of “God” questioned.
