"An incendiary and uproarious work of learned polemical writing, unique in its scientific sophistication and authority. Rather than criticizing science from the outside, Berlinski excoriates its atheist pretensions from within."—National Review
"Powerful, erudite and often savagely funny."—Globe and Mail (Best Books of the Year)
"With high style and light-hearted disdain, David Berlinski deflates the intellectual pretensions of the scientific atheist crowd. Maybe they can recite the Periodic Table by heart, but the secular Berlinski shows that this doesn't get them very far in reasoning about much weightier matters."—Michael J. Behe, author of Darwin's Black Box
"In a brief review, it’s impossible to convey not just the complexity of some of these issues, but the clarity, keenness, and breadth of learning that Berlinski brings to bear on them."—American Spectator
"David Berlinski plus any topic equals an extraordinary book."
—Chicago Tribune
"Berlinski's book is everything desirable: it is idiomatic, profound, brilliantly polemical, amusing, and of course vastly learned."—William F. Buckley Jr.
"A powerful riposte to atheist mockery and cocksure science, and to the sort of philosophy that surrenders to them. David Berlinski proceeds reasonably and calmly to challenge recent scientific theorizing and to expose the unreason from which it presumes to criticize religion."—Harvey Mansfield, Harvard University
