Not at all what I had hoped for

When buying this book as Audible format, I had, reading the brief description expected an open minded investigation into the nature of the Universe, Life and Everything. Sadly it is only a sustained rant against all things Spiritual and Religious, and anyone supporting spiritual or religious teachings or beliefs.

The authors' faith in science in general is itself almost religious in fervour and does not bother to paper over cracks; it just ignores them. In an age when the Big Bang theory, Dark Matter theory and Dark Energy theory are teetering on the edge of collapse with even NASA now adopting a pro-Plasma Universe stand having denied it for so many years, their blind faith in science, particularly Reductionst Science, is touching, but not very convincing.
Theories in the fields of medicine, biology and every other scientific field besides physics are also being disproved or discarded.
The authors launched a cowardly attack on the historical Jesus and Christianity in general. Islam was briefly mentioned, but not specifically attacked. I wonder why.

I was left wondering how I ever managed to listen to such rubbish for over five and a half hours.
No doubt the likes of Richard Dawkins and the "Amazing" James Randi who were mentioned affectionately in this series of essays would approve of them.

The narrator increasingly jarred on my nerves, sounding pompous and patronising, but then I suppose he was being faithful to the patronising and pompous content. His delivery was somewhat quirky and I found it offputting. He made a few mistakes in, notably pronouncing "Nuclear" as "Newkiller" - aaaaghrr, and referring to Protons, Electrons and "Neurons"!
