The Atheist’s Fatal Flaw is a brilliant, thought-provoking essay, which is sometimes witty and always wise.
The authors do not merely dismantle the logic of the atheist’s worldview, but also uncover conflicting desires in the atheist’s heart. Demonstrating a remarkable knowledge of academic and popular atheistic texts, they uncover two prominent arguments against Christian theism, which are not only popular, but which have had remarkable longevity. Atheism’s ‘fatal flaw’ is that these two arguments contradict one another; one person cannot hold both simultaneously.
