Faithlife Now Selling Books that Mock God and Promote Atheism

John Brumett

I was browsing the new titles of Vyrso and ran across this book The Not-So-Intelligent Designer: Why Evolution Explains the Human Body and Intelligent Design Does Not by Abby; Hafer

I understand the need for diverse views but I find it ironic that Logos Now has offered 2 books against Atheism and a Recent blog against atheist while selling a book that support Atheism.  I believe this certainly crosses a line as a Christian company. Maybe this is simply an oversight but I would like some answers.

Just read this overview and let me know if this is appropriate.  

Why do men's testicles hang outside the body? Why does our appendix sometimes explode and kill us? And who does the Designer like better, anyway--us or squid? These and other questions are addressed in The Not-So-Intelligent Designer: Why Evolution Explains the Human Body and Intelligent Design Does Not. Dr. Abby Hafer argues that the human body has many faulty design features that would never have been the choice of an intelligent creator. She also points out that there are other animals that got better body parts, which makes the Designer look a bit strange; discusses the history and politics of Intelligent Design and creationism; reveals animals that shouldn't exist according to Intelligent Design; and disposes of the idea of irreducible complexity. Her points are illustrated with pictures, wit, and erudition. 

This book has come in with the recent flood of Wipf and Stock materials which are very liberal in their theology but I needed to point out this book.

Hey, thanks, John, on the title. That's exactly what I wanted. Here in Sedona we have the geologists, and a strong intelligent design group. The problem is the first group thinks the second group is missing a screw, and the second group wants to out-science the first group (running into the same problems they're questioning).

You're thread title is not accurate if you're saying the books you don't like are a recent Logos entry. Logos is really one of the better places to deconstruct the Christian religion.  Everything from how Israel created their god (as the authors view it), to how the narritives were created. So, the horse is out of the barn, and basically now a large healthy herd.

In the last decade or so the Mormons have followed the same pattern ... publishing in high quality all the documentary weaknesses of their traditions. Why?  Because it strengthens people ... the weaknesses are strongest, when hidden, as you prefer.
