Science and Secularism: Haiku Quintets

By Dan Dana

Starting by sharing "My Personal Journey to Atheism," the author then employs the novel poetic form of haiku quintets to concisely describe mind-expanding bits of science (fact, not fiction, mostly cosmology) and its bond to secularism. Skeptics will enjoy "Ode to Scientism" and its rejection of supernaturalism, followed by "Debunking Creationism with Science and Reason." The book concludes with a survey of quotes by famous scientists about their atheism.
