4.0 out of 5 stars A very decent volume
This collection edited by John Leslie is a good addition to more thoroughfare "Philosophy of Religion" sorts of texts. In this text you'll find an assortment of well-known intellectuals who have contributed to the discussion of the problems for years; you'll also find material that is not (easily) found elsewhere. I recommend this text to instructors but also recommend...

1.0 out of 5 stars How convenient; arrogance and stupidity wrapped in one!

This collection edited by John Leslie is a good addition to more thoroughfare "Philosophy of Religion" sorts of texts. In this text you'll find an assortment of well-known intellectuals who have contributed to the discussion of the problems for years; you'll also find material that is not (easily) found elsewhere. I recommend this text to instructors but also recommend that, when used for courses designed around a theme or problematic concerning "Reason and Religion" or similar, the text is supplemented with a broader volume focusing not only on cosmological arguments but also arguments of ontology and teleology.

4.0 out of 5 stars An interesting survey of philosophical cosmology, July 29, 1999

This review is from: Modern Cosmology & Philosophy (Paperback)

I must admit it is quite humorous to read Leslie state the obvious and act like he's just discovered a remarkable fact and is enlightening the world. I must say it's scary and disturbing that my school actually made me read this.
