{"product_id":"skeptical-bob-moores-9781462057740","title":"Skeptical: Show Me Evidence-Then I'll Believe","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eSkeptical\u003c\/i\u003e, author Bob Moores describes his atheistic\/humanistic philosophy and traces its roots back to early childhood epiphanies where he first began to question certain axiological teachings. He argues against creationism and religious fundamentalism and defends scientific naturalism, critical thinking, and a rational approach to understanding the world.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMoores attempts to show readers how recent scientific discoveries, especially in biology, are more exciting and uplifting than any form of biblical mythology. Using lay terms, he explains the significance of DNA and why a scientific theory is more than just a guess. He argues that modern humanistic values are superior in many ways to those venerated in ancient texts, and he shares his belief that humans are both the greatest threat and greatest hope for the preservation of life on Earth.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMoores hopes that \u003ci\u003eSkeptical\u003c\/i\u003e will challenge readers to consider views and information that may conflict with their comfort zones, allowing them to broaden their perspectives. He argues that if we are too protective of our own paradigms, if we stubbornly believe that our way is the only way, then the tribes of earth will never come together to solve the most urgent need of all - our continued existence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bob Moores\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1462057748\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781462057740\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e iUniverse\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/10\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 260\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.73lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.59d","brand":"Bob Moores","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48439254778111,"sku":"9781462057740","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c9cb0e02-2a0a-47f2-ac51-66b1235fea2b.jpg?v=1777176447","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/skeptical-bob-moores-9781462057740","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
