In The New Atheism, he quoted my book, The Truth Behind the New Atheism, eleven times (as I recall). All these quotes were from the chapter on faith and reason, except for one, cheery-picking something I said in the last chapter. It was clear to me, as the author, that Stenger had not really tried to think through my argument with any seriousness, even though he was quoting it right and left. (And courteously, I'll give him that.) And in a 300 word discussion of that quote from the last chapter, Stenger gives me the impression that he just leaped to the end without reading much of anything in between, claiming I never do what I've been doing throughout the book. <br /><br />After that, if ever the temptation to read Stenger's other books come up, I suppress it.David B Marshallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04029133398946303654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5074683.post-55057011150796623052012-05-01T22:34:15.594+01:002012-05-01T22:34:15.594+01:00This link does not mention it being published in a...This link does not mention it being published in a peer-reviewed journal:<br /><br />http://adsabs.harvard.edu/cgi-bin/bib_query?arXiv:1112.4647<br /><br />Doesn't mean it's not going to be, though.Ignorancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08840540848601019925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5074683.post-68988578103337257172012-04-30T23:43:19.840+01:002012-04-30T23:43:19.840+01:00That is GOLD, Humphrey.

I read Letters to Nature regularly, and am familiar with Barnes' views on fine-tuning, but getting it all in one well-prepared paper is very useful.<br /><br />Do you know if it was published in a peer-reviewed journal, or is it just on arXiv? (It looks to me that it was only on arXiv.)unkleEhttps://theway21stcentury.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
