With the intentions of helping Christians defend their beliefs and lose any fear they may have of new scientific discoveries, author Neil Laing presents a new apologetics book, "Even Dawkins Has a God: Probing and exposing the weaknesses in Richard Dawkins' arguments in The God Delusion" (published by WestBow Press).

"Even though 'The God Delusion' was published some time ago, its impact is still current and there are many who are convinced by Dawkins' erroneous arguments," Laing says.

Laing submits that Dawkins' book contains many valid arguments, but that his mission to disprove the existence of God misses the mark. Laing explains that Dawkins has successfully countered the existence of the god in whom he imagines Christians believe. But, in doing so, Laing says that Dawkins has actually attacked a figment of his own imagination. Laing asserts that Dawkins misunderstands theology and the doctrine of God, and posits that attacking something an opponent does not believe in is "pointless."

"I hope atheists and agnostics will feel the challenge to read my book but that Christians will see it as a resource to help them resolve the apparent difficulties between scientific teaching and a dynamic faith that believes and seeks to understand the word of God," Laing says.

"Even Dawkins Has a God" is not meant as a light-reading counter to "The God Delusion" but a serious examination of Dawkins' arguments over science, theology, morality and faith.
