Ross' work is a good example of what happens when someone with little philosophical sophistication dabbles in the discipline. Ross' knowledge of science and cosmology is to be commended, but when he tries to explain the philosophical/religious implications of scientific findings he makes numerous naive and elementary errors in reasoning. I am a Ph.D. in philosophy and am frequently frustrated by the presence of books such as this. For all the attention it has received, the claim that our universe shows marks of divine craftsmanship is nothing more than an attempt to use contemporary science to resurrect the old argument from design. The argument was thoroughly refuted by David Hume more than 200 years ago and the addition of new scientific discoveries does nothing to change that. --Greg Klebanoff <klebanoff@hotmail.com>
