About this listen
Religious fundamentalists and biblical literalists present any number of arguments that attempt to disprove evolution. Those with a sympathetic ear often fail to critically examine these creationist claims, leading to an ill-informed public and, perhaps more troubling, ill-advised public policy. As Aron Ra makes clear, however, every single argument deployed by creationists in their attacks on evolution is founded on fundamental scientific, religious, and historical falsehoods - all of them. Among their most popular claims is that evolution is a religion, that there are no transitional species, that there are no beneficial mutations, and that supposedly sacred scripture is the infallible word of God. Yet, as the evidence and data plainly show, each of these claims is demonstrably and unequivocally false. There is simply no truth to creationism whatsoever, and the entire enterprise rests on a foundation of falsehoods. This book explains and exposes the worst of these lies, and should be listened to by all who honestly care about following the evidence no matter where it might lead in pursuit of the truth.

Seth Andrews wasn't an idiot during his 30 years as an evangelical Christian. He wasn't unintelligent, nor did his IQ shift when he ultimately left religion entirely. He considered himself thoughtful, moral, reasonable, and at least as smart as the average person. In other words, he wasn't an idiot. Yet strangely, he often sounded like one.

Well into the 21st century, our species continues to participate in beliefs and customs that seem more suited to the Bronze Age than the Information Age, some of which involve poisonous snakes, holy smoke, urine bubbles, crystals, tarot cards, aliens, costumed virgins, and, of course, an offering plate. Join Seth Andrews for a random romp across the planet and a humorous look at some of humanity's Sacred Cows.

Following up on the first volume, The Atheist Handbook to the Old Testament: Volume 2 takes up the challenge of providing a clear and useful guide to those wanting a better understanding of the Old Testament, including its cultural and historical background, as well as discussions on contentious topics like violence and genocide, and whether the Exodus was a real historical event.

I evolved listening to this book.
Thank you Aron Ra for this informative book. I knew the Bible was wrong but didn't know enouph about Darwinism and evolution. Now I feel equipped for intellectual discussions.

Aron Ra is always a good listen
Aron Ra is always a good listen. He reads as though he is speaking to an engaged audience (which he usually is), and although he speaks in the vernacular much of the time, it doesn't detract from his wealth of knowledge which he continues to pursue and pass along. I especially appreciate that this book is all about the failure of creationism to be in any way rational. I wouldn't have thought that creationists' fallacies could be so easily picked out of the pot of irrational beliefs. In fact, the creation myth is one of the "easier" myths to dispel, or at least have a decent conversation about - because, for me at least, it's just another creation myth out of the current thousands of creation myths. I hope he gets another book out soon.

The Inner-Machinations of Creationism Dissected
After watching Aron's YouTube series of the same name, I was delighted to find this on audible and hear it in greater detail in his own voice no less. The information, references and insight within has been a great boon to me in my own online debates with fundamentalists and biblical literalists. Aron clearly breaks down the lies used by creation apologists succinctly and proceeds to reveal the dishonesty, fallacious reasoning and deceptive tactics they use to "teach the controversy".

Fantastic
In this day and age, I don't understand how anyone can consider creationism as anything but nonsense. This book thoroughly puts creationism in its place and leaves no doubt, to the intellectually honest, that evolution happened and continues to occur.
I've listened to this audible book well over a dozen times. Aron Ra's material has been a wonderful tool for debating and debunking creationists.

Technically Superb
Aron has the awesome ability of being able to take difficult topics and convey them in logical easy to understand way. As someone who was taught evolution was wrong and "just a theory", Aron does an excellent job of explaining the scientific method and and the difference between a theory and a hypothesis.

A must read
This book is not for anyone but the ones that want the truth, if you are a believer that no matter what the evidence is, you will still believe, skip this book unless you are just curious and after listening you know this is the truth but will never admit. If you need clarity as to what are the facts are about evolution versus creation, you will not regret this book. The author has a great voice, a pleasure to listen to. The content is clear and simple to understand for the average person. I loved it, highly recommended.
