I would hold a scientist to the scientific method. Hitchens is making a commentary. While his research might be suspect (I am not sure he was right for example about Gandhi) I am more interested in what he has to say on these topics because of his point of view.Timothy S.

I found Hitchen untrustworthy as a researcher in 'God is Not Great'. I am used to reading science publications, and I ended up stopping about half way through - exceedingly rare for me. He asserted without enough evidence (in my opinion) - like a journalist, where the angle and the story, was more important than the facts. Reminded me of Michael Moore's style in Fahrenheit 9/11. It's why, though I generally support Michael Moore's side of politics, I can no longer watch anything he does.The Jovial Priesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00160018433070823408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2356277961656468139.post-48757478168337854172012-04-09T17:52:30.719-05:002012-04-09T17:52:30.719-05:00Have you read A Higher Power by John Betcher.

Some reviewers were put off that the question of God's existence wasn't answered, as though someone can make that decision for you.<br />Your comment about the last book you bought at Borders has me wondering now what I last bought there.<br /><a href="http://gail-baugniet.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">http://gail-baugniet.blogspot.com Theme: A World of Crime</a>Gail M Baugniet - Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11543343067963247963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2356277961656468139.post-36795662709220513192012-04-09T07:11:49.069-05:002012-04-09T07:11:49.069-05:00I haven't read Christopher Hitchens, but I hav...I haven't read Christopher Hitchens, but I have heard great things about it.
