With its trillions of connections, the human brain is more beautiful and complex than anything we could ever build, but it’s far from perfect: our memory is unreliable; we can’t multiply large sums in our heads; advertising manipulates our judgment; we tend to distrust people who are different from us; supernatural beliefs and superstitions are hard to shake; we prefer instant gratification to long-term gain; and what we presume to be rational decisions are often anything but.

Great book
Revisado: 01-17-23
A great book, although in regards to religion, there may be some bias. I agree that neither science or religion should try to explain from their own perspective the other field. When it comes to abortion the author only mentioned that the prohibiting abortion leads to a potential for death and injustice, however, the Church, offers the alternative of abstinence. If abstinence is not consider as a realistic alternative because it would go against nature and instinct, meaning humans cannot control reproduction by any other means but by killing a developing human, then we are saying that in the subject of reproduction, there is no room for rationalization. Brian bugs are real and shaping or killing a life is a choice once consciousness of these bugs is acquired. I enjoy the book. Thank you.

While millions of believers around the world are finding their understanding of Christianity to be outdated and untenable, Matthew Distefano has managed to paint the gospel in such a way that even an atheist could appreciate its beauty. Rather than a message of rapture, or rewards and reprisals, Distefano presents the good news of what God has done in history to stem the tide of our own violence and evil - inviting us into a whole new way of living and being in this world.

Propaganda
Revisado: 07-12-22
Horrible narration makes it hard to concentrate. Some of the theories that the author exposes are interesting in explaining evil but the emphasis made on “social justice” are a turn off. Sound like progressive propaganda. For believers and somewhat educated in Scripture, they will see through author’s intentions. For those who hope to understand Old and New Testament and understand God this book will do more harm than good.
