About this listen
Is Earth merely an insignificant speck in a vast and meaningless universe? On the contrary: The Privileged Planet shows that this cherished assumption of materialism is dead wrong. In this provocative book, Guillermo Gonzalez and Jay W. Richards present a staggering array of evidence that exposes the hollowness of this modern dogma. They demonstrate that our planet is exquisitely fit not only to support life, but also to give us the best view of the universe, as if Earth were designed both for life and for scientific discovery. Readers are taken on a scientific odyssey from a history of tectonic plates, to the wonders of water and solar eclipses, to our location in the Milky Way, to the laws that govern the universe, and to the beginning of cosmic time. The Privileged Planet contains astounding findings that should lead any individual to reevaluate and even to reconsider our very purpose on what so many have dismissed as nothing more than an accident of cosmic evolution.

No attention to punctuation
I have have to assume that the narrator read the book with a very pressing engagement on his mind. He motors through it in such a way as to make it a very difficult lesson. Todd: PLEASE slow down and pay attention to punctuation and paragraphs.

The required quantity and quality of info
The world viewed from naturalism not explains the relations between structures in cosmos. What we have to know to rise healthy questions ? If you know, will be able to see the lack of foundations for pure naturalist/darwinist worldview. You will be able to rise the questions : why, how we got here ? What else has to be exist before us ? The simplistic general response of naturalism : " it has evolved by chance and selection" is not fit the reality. So, go and know the facts and relations of our universe to be able to rise satisfiable questions.
