Just another attempt at discrediting the obvious DESIGNER. If what he says is true, he didn’t write this book. He’s a liar! It just wrote itself. Here’s your sign.

The question of why there’s anything at all is anxiety inducing to say the least. In this book, the author makes a compelling argument that something is a natural progression from nothing. While the matter may not be settled, this gives a clear line of reasoning for why there is something naturally.

The concept is understandable, but the explanation is difficult to understand for non-scientists.

This book definitely kept me reading. The topic is facinating and the author lays out facts in a way that keeps you wanting to know what’s on the next page. And although it is a very technical topic, this book was written so that the common man (like me) can easily understand what he is saying.

A fools book

Krauss lays out clearly what we actually know. Flights of fancy, personal opinions and discussion on religion all report for duty, but that isn't the meat here. The lesson is that in our human dive to know it all, what is out there - is out there, with or without us and unrelated to our stubborn belief in mathematical beauty or easy answers. The universe doesn't care if we understand or not. While some of the science is hard to swallow, it's the truth, it's happening and if we don't like what we find? As Feynman said, "Go to another universe where the rules are simpler."

Mr. Krauss' book for the most part explained to a layman like me a lot of the intricacies relating to empty space, inflation, relativity and much more. And it was done in an enjoyable format. Two books that compliment his arguments would be Irreligion by John Allen Paulos, a very short but to the point logical presentation against some of the arguments Krauss mentions about reasons to believe, or not believe, in a supreme clockmaker. The second book, The Infinity Puzzle by Frank Close, gives an outstanding presentation of how science got from Bohr to The Higgs particle, presenting all the key players and their contributions.

Accessible to the layperson, witty prose and a re-framing of the eternal questions make this book a pleasure to read

I find it hilarious how one reviewer states how Krauss should stick to what he knows and not talk about subjects he knows nothing about (god). As if there is one person on this earth who knows more about that subject than any other, you wouldn't say the same for the tooth fairy, would ya? As far as the content, there aren't many scientists who have the ability to convey their wealth of knowledge to the lay person as Dr Krauss can. A fascinating read. Buy it, read it, and learn your true orgins.

Some of this will definitely require a re-read, but this has truly become the backbone of atheism.
