The Mind of God

I skim read The Mind of God by Paul Davies the other day and was very impressed. Davies is a humble atheist who displays courage and integrity by his vigorous and wise thinking. The book is all about what we can know of God, if indeed there is a God. He dismantles so-called proofs for God and comes to the wise conclusion that philosophical reflection and scientific investigation can only tell us about this world. My only complaint with the book (well, aside from not being able to understand the science) was that he occasionally misunderstood Christianity, seeing dichotomies where the Bible presents paradoxes.
