discussing. With countless intriguing philosophical ideas, "Advaita:

The New Atheism: Taking a Stand for Science and Reason argues that the
'new atheist' scientists' contentions and findings are changing the
face of spirituality concepts and atheism alike. It expands on the
basics presented in the author's prior GOD: THE FAILED HYPOTHESIS,
explaining the basics of new Atheism, and arguing that the absence of
evidence for God is evidence of absence only when the evidence should
be there and is not. History and science blend in a fine survey
recommended for both science and spirituality libraries at the college
level.
