This needs the print text

I suspect that it may have been a step too far to record this as an audiobook when much if it is incomprehensible to an ordinary interested reader. Verbal logic is one thing, but the algebraic formulae involved in too much of this work is almost certain to over-tax the intellect if anyone without total recall and a degree in higher mathematics. For this reason alone I am obliged to commend the reader.
Thus writer had to give up, having tried hard with a number of topics that would have been helpful had they been formulated in words: it is not to be expected that a listener will be able or willing to navigate back and forth in a very complex article, to be reminded of what any symbol is intended to represent; neither is it reasonable to expect the listener to go back every time a passage or formula eludes their understanding on first hearing.
Moreover, what is comprehensible in words appears to be if such a conservative nature that brought into question whatever may have happened to the Blackwell brand and its reputation for balance and academic excellence.
No doubt the printed edition of this work has its place in the philosophy of religion but it is impossible to imagine any print-handicapped person if whatever depth of intellect who might be likely to benefit from thus misguided project.
Regrettably, I must advise listeners to avoid even attempting to get in terms with thus audiobook, whatever the value of the original, and whatever good intentions brought about its recording.

How Many Apologists Can Lie On The Head Of A Pin?

The fact that this book was edited by William "Low Bar Bill" Craig (the 'Excuse-ologist' who infamously revived the Kalam Cosmological Argument and insists that if the Universe had a cause, then that proves that the cause is 'HIS' God and no one else's, because he say so,) should tell you everything that you need to know about this utter waste of an audiobook. Because here's the thing about philosophical and theological arguments for God's existence...

Even if they're 100% valid and not merely a string of self-serving and utterly unfounded assumptions which are long enough to wrap around the planet three times and still leave room for a knot, (which they are,) at the end of the day, they're still nothing but arguments. And the one thing that all good scientists learn the hard way is that the Universe doesn't have to obey our preconceptions or make any kind of logical or philosophical sense.

So while Low Bar Bill and the rest of those increasingly insignificant intellectual circle jerkers are arguing that their God must exist and be the answer to everything because 'Atheism' doesn't make logical sense, Big Bang Cosmologists, Comparative Anthropologists and countless other scientists are out there actually working to find the real answers for themselves.
