Save your money. The book is a diatribe about g****l w*****g and "the fiction of the free market" among other things. It ends in a polemic about c*****e c****e in our current world.
But as to how intellectual development was impacted by the Little Ice Age, about the only evidence the author seems to put forward is that they both happened at the same time. And as any beginning student in statistics can tell you, correlation does not mean causation.
The author seems to want you to take it purely on faith that the intellectual developments of the Seventeenth Century were impacted by the Ice Age, without presenting any other evidence than that the potato replaced grain crops in northern Europe.

========================
Atheism can’t explain existence. Atheists live by science, but science (always) changes. God and the Bible (always) remain the same.

Thessalonians 2:10-12 and every type of evil to deceive those who are dying, those who refused to love the t***h that would save them. For this reason, God will send them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie. Then all who have not believed the t***h but have taken pleasure in unrighteousness will be condemned.

If Atheists believe there is no God why are they always so obsessed with Him? Why are they worried about Christians? Why do they view things about Christianity just to mock? Why are there atheist conventions? Why have atheist churches?

If God is not real why does it matter? It’s because they h**e God! Why does life matter? Without God nothing makes sense. There is no reality at all. Atheists can’t account for morality. Why is right, right, and why is wrong, wrong? Atheists can’t account for rationality, logic, and intelligence because their worldview will not allow them to. The only way they can is to take upon the Christian theistic worldview.

One God but the god of the koran is not the same. There is no partial t***h and thats all islam has.

I would ask you to consider this with regards to the koran. Satan knows scripture and he knows Jesus is Lord though he doesn’t accept it. What better way for the father of lies to deceive than create a false religion and get people to believe they worship the same God? One with a sprinkling of t***h to deceive. Islam denies the Trinity and Christs deity.

I may have misinterpreted what you wrote but not the part about what makes Christianity unique.

There are religions based entirely on superstitions, there are religions that involve some elements of superstition, there are religions based on idolatry and false gods, there are religions based on demons and devil worship, there are religions based on multiple deities, and there are religions based on self-aggrandizement (these have a tendency to deify or exalt themselves), but the world's 3 monotheistic religions are not among them. Judaism, Christianity and Islam all soundly condemn superstition, idolatry, the worship of false gods, and self-exaltation.

Based on research in 230 countries, 84% of the world's population are religious to some degree or other. Worldwide, more than eight-in-ten people identify with a religious group. A third of these are Christians, a quarter are Muslims.

Creation is only unfathomable to those unwilling to accept the scientific hypothesis that wh**ever exists must have a cause, that something cannot come from nothing. Secular or non-religious scientists have attempted to skirt this issue with some rather extraordinary and far-fetched explanations, they have made some quite astounding claims, like Steven Hawkings saying the universe created itself from nothing.

Religious scientists are searching for answers, and so far their progress is promising. In the early 1900s, American astronomer Edwin Hubble discovered that what was once thought to be nebula (clouds of gas and dust) were actually galaxies of stars remote from our Milky Way, and he observed the Doppler Red Shift in distant galaxies, he determined that objects in space were receding away from each other, and that they were receding from a single point in time and space. Hubble played a crucial role in establishing the fields of extragalactic astronomy and observational cosmology and is regarded as one of the most important astronomers of all time, Hubble's findings fundamentally changed the scientific view of the universe. His discoveries slammed the lid on existing theories and hypotheses and opened a massive door to an entirely new field for research and discovery. It was a brand new day for cosmologists, astrophysicists, astronomers, and others in associated fields.

Scientists were then facing the fundamental question: If the universe emerged and expanded from a single point in space and time, what caused this? The Universal Law of Cause and Effect (causation) is immutable, it basically states that wherever there is a material effect, there must be an adequate cause and that no effect can be greater than its cause. The law of causation is applicable at all times to all causes and effects, including those that occur in life--all life. Natural and scientific laws are always dealing with causes and effects.

Since it is obvious that the universe is not eternal, and since it also is obvious that the universe could not have created itself, the only remaining alternative is that the universe was created by something. IOW, if the universe exists, which it does, it had a precedent cause. If before time and space nothing existed, then no natural or scientific laws existed. If no natural or scientific laws existed, what then could have caused the universe to exist? Tough questions. Scientists and theologians have, are still, and will continue to struggle with them. For atheists, these questions are a conundrum simply because they refuse to accept a cause for the existence of the universe and life itself. Especially if that cause goes by a specific name or title. Paradoxically, in denying an extrinsic cause, atheists have no basis for explaining their existence. The idea that something greater than themselves caused them to exist is offensive to them.

However, there are fundamental elements in the belief in God, or Creator, to which no natural or scientific laws apply, and these are in the realm of experience.

There are atheists, there are agnostics, and there are apostates, most of whom live their lives in relative harmony with their fellow believers, yet there are some among them who are activists. Wh**ever their ungodly reasons may be for doing so, they attack, vilify, and condemn those of us who believe.


Christianity and Christians are their primary targets.

Lord Jesus Jesus made it clear that those of the world will h**e Christians because the world h**es Christ. If Christians were like the world—vain, earthly, sensual, and given to pleasure, wealth, and ambition—the world would not oppose us. But Christians do not belong to the world, which is why the world engages in Christian persecution (see John 15:18–19). Christians are influenced by different principles from those of the world. We are motivated by the love of God and His holiness, while the world is driven by the love of sin. It is our very separation from the world that arouses the world’s animosity (1 Peter 4:3–4).

Creation is no myth and belief in something greater than ourselves is not superstition.

Having no religion doesn't mean you are an atheist. It could also mean you are agnostic

believing in god but no specific religious belief. Also, you say that atheism has become our largest religion and then you say: "As religiosity has declined" So what is it? Has religion declined or is Atheism our largest religion? If Atheism has become our largest religion than by your own argument the number of religious people in this country has remained the same.

And last, you say, "as a True Blue Christian" you are going to fight to destroy evil. I am assuming that you believe atheists are evil but of the atheists I know, including myself, none have guns nor do they have any true animosity towards their fellow man. The only weapon we have are our mouths so if you are going to seek to destroy those whose only crime is their rhetoric than wouldn't that make you the evil one and the one who should be destroyed?
