Divinity of Doubt

The God Question

By: Vincent Bugliosi

Narrated by: Mel Foster

Vincent Bugliosi turns his critical eye on both religious believers and the atheists who reflexively oppose them. Here he indicts both camps and argues that agnosticism is the most responsible position to take with regard to such eternal questions as the existence of God. Bugliosi examines such developments as the decline of belief in evolution and the disturbing vengefulness of God, as depicted in the Old Testament. He also questions that an all-powerful and all-knowing creator would have so badly miscalculated free will, leaving human beings to persecute and murder each other. Vincent Bugliosi sets a new course - a middle path that urges us to recognize the limits of what we know, and what we cannot know, about the ineffable mysteries of existence.

Critic reviews

"Destined to be a classic, Bugliosi's Divinity of Doubt sets a new course amid the explosion of best-selling books on atheism and theism." (FSB Media)

Really good, though weak on Evolution

I do admire the logical consistency of his agnostic views though I do not think I could ever fully agree (but not for any inconsistency). My primary (constructive) criticism is on weakness towards Evolution: specifically either a misunderstanding or hasty dismissal of speciation and the genetics of inheritance. But since that is not even the intended subject matter in the primary sense, it is a minor problem with the book. Loved it otherwise.

Clear arguments

I find the mind of Vincent Bugliosi to be fascinating. I have been reading him since I was a teenager. I have come to expect that if he has written in a subject, he has covered nearly every conceivable angle. He can drill down on an argument based on the evidence like few others. In this book he takes a sober look at all angles of the question of the existence of god. Perhaps Christians may find his words to be offensive; especially in the way he painstakingly dismantles Catholicism using its own arguments and evidence. In my opinion, his exasperated exclamations of "Really?!" are evidence of his lack off deeper understanding of the ideas he is discussing. In spite of its shortcomings, I think this is a must read for anyone who seeks clear thought on the subject.

I love this book

This was my very first book and I've been in love with it ever since. It's a great listen.

LOVED It!!!

There isn't much to say. I saw an interview with the author and HAD to read the book. In stark contrast to Dawkins, Bugilosi suggests that Agnosticism is the only logical way to be. Whereas, Dawkins basically calls us cowards (I still like Dawkins, regardless). It's a well planned and well reasoned book. Worth the time!

Enjoyed this book. Made me think.

I enjoyed this book. It really made me think about some things that I had never considered. Altho, I do not agree with everything in it and it even more cemented my belief in Christ. It was a good read, well written and thought provoking.
