Solving The Big Questions As If Thinking Matters, by Dr. Randy Wysong, discusses how natural law, evidence, and reason provide the answers to the big questions of existence: "Where did we come from? Why are we here? Where are we going to?" Focusing on truth, this book deals with the subject of our origin and destiny. In order to make people understand that there are very good reasons why life is the way it is, it argues that evolution, materialism, atheism, religion, and mortality are not true.

With facts from science, philosophy, and the paranormal, Dr. Randy dismantles evolution, materialism, and human-made religions because he feels that they support so many false ideologies. He proves that evolution is not only untrue; it can't be true according to scientific laws. Also, he shows how evolution violates natural law and logic, stating that "If life and health could result from the mere assemblage of atoms, alchemists would have long ago created life, and nutritionists and doctors would have long ago solved the problems of disease and death."

The book is eloquently written, and though it's an intellectual read, it's engaging. The author's writing style is clear and brilliant. The book includes some intriguing cartoons with illuminating captions, and it has several illustrations and figures, which make it attractive. It also consists of the author's personal experiences, which are fascinating. Furthermore, It encompasses a lot of information concerning biology, chemistry, and physics. Hence, if you don't enjoy reading books involving science, I advise you to steer clear of this one.

Solving The Big Questions As If Thinking Matters examines several topics, such as the laws of thermodynamics, the rules for finding truth, the law of biogenesis, the laws of chemistry, the law of time, mutation, free will, the impact of evolution, the anthropic universe, the origin and development of religion, holy books, faith, matter, life after death, the beauty of nature, suffering, the Creator and so on. Consisting of 400 pages, it has six sections.

Overall, I rate this book 4 out of 4 stars. Although it contains some views which I don't agree with, I couldn't give it less than 4 stars because the author succeeded in presenting his points in a persuasive manner. He provided some mind-blowing science facts. Besides, the book was exceptionally well edited; I didn't see any grammatical or typographical errors. I recommend it to anyone who is open-minded enough to put thinking before belief and learn new facts about life.

Hi. Thanks for that interesting review. I'm curious at to whether the author proposes a new way of thinking about life and death or if he simply attempts to disprove the popular ways of thinking (evolution, religion, etc.?

I'm glad this one is both intellectual and engaging. Still, I feel like I have the answers that I need in The Bible. Therefore, I'm not sure this author's take on them would really be something I would enjoy. I'm glad that you got something out of it, though. Thanks so much.

This sounds like some deep reading with such subjects such as evolution, religion and mortality. However, I don't think it is for me. Thanks for the review.

Will definitely look into this book as I absolutely love deep stuff like that and could discuss it for hours on end! I'd say my friends will hate me though because I'll have loads more ammo after reading it. Thanks for the review! :tiphat:

I read a book similar to this. I found that it was an engaging read as well. The author of that book claimed that Science was the only real way to experience the universe. Perhaps, this is what the author of this book also claims? I happen to believe science and faith are not mutually exclusive, but that they actually complement each other. Science gives the hows and whats of the world's questions and faith often gives the whys.

The author says he focuses on truth. I wonder how he defines truth? I always enjoy your interesting reviews and concise writing. Thanks for your comments and recommendation of this book.

Seems to be an interesting book to read especially for science lovers.However it sounds like one that may be contradicting religious beliefs.
I would want to stay out of it.
Thanks for the interesting review.
