From Wikipedia
Victor J. Stenger (born January 29, 1935) is emeritus professor of physics and astronomy at the University of Hawaii and adjunct professor of philosophy at the University of Colorado. Stenger used to work in particle physics but is principally known as a critic and skeptic of Intelligent Design and other ideas of pseudoscience. He is also skeptical about fine-tuning of cosmological constants, disagreeing with scientists such as Martin Rees. He has published a number of books intended for general audiences on the subjects of physics and cosmology and philosophy, religion, and pseudoscience (Has Science Found God?, The Comprehensible Cosmos, Timeless Reality, The Unconscious Quantum, Physics and Psychics, and Not by Design).

Book Review by Victor Stenger



“When scientists express their objections to claims such as evidence for intelligent design in the universe, they are not being dogmatic. They are simply applying the same standard they would for any other extraordinary claim and demanding extraordinary evidence.”

Stenger at Spiked
"We need to find a new vision for humanity, one that offers hope in this world rather than the next. A century ago the huddled masses saw America as a new frontier that offered them room for dreams and big ideas. Today we live in the Age of Disillusionment, marked by a perverse strain of religious-nationalistic fundamentalism in which those big ideas lie in tatters and any frontiers are out of sight."
