The Book of Genesis and the Book of Atheism

We don't live in some brand new world where these are the only two ideas that intellectually respected any more. Atheism's been around for thousands of years. Sam harris and richard dawkins are not philosophers. Where their genius lies is being able to package together idea as that already existed. They write them down in a way that resonates with the culture in the early 2,000s. These are not new ideas. But we can at least be sympathetic of how somebody new to these discussions might feel like they live in that world.
