I’m pleased to announce my new Kindle book, Assuming Facts Not In Evidence, A Cross-Examination of the Trinity. It’s a follow-up to my previous book on the same topic, The Only True God. I believe both the Scriptural and historical research to be accurate and the conclusions I’ve drawn to be trustworthy, and most important, in accord with New Testament Christianity. I am not tech proficient, so some of the formatting may be askew. It’s still very readable. An excerpt is reproduced below. Robert George 5-26-2023
In my first book on the Trinity, The Only True God, I linked the Triune Godhead with the theory of evolution, showing them both to be religious hoaxes with scant evidence to support them. My focus was on the Trinity, nevertheless, all popular, widespread hoaxes have certain similarities. Emotionally attached believers who grasp at the thinnest piece of driftwood to keep afloat beloved beliefs. Evidence that is only convincing if you already believe the teaching. A GroupThink clergy who control what information is fed to the rank and file. Public ridiculing of skeptics. (This shames people whose natural desire is to fit in with their peers, as well as keeping doubting members of its clergy from speaking out)
A favorite, often hilarious tactic is making outlandish assertions in the media about the hoax. This includes movies, TV, novels, the news…anything. For example, the Jurassic Park movies. The first one worked like a coal miner to convince the audience dinosaurs “evolved” into birds, offering laughable evidence. But they saved the best for the sequel, The Lost World. In an early scene, a young girl comes across a “compy”. The compy looks like the Geico Lizard. Yet the girl kneels, peers at it, and asks it if it’s a bird. Preposterous. I knew what a bird looked like when I was three. Feathers and a beak. Most of ‘em fly. If I remember correctly, the recent JP flick depicted dinosaurs growing fur. This is wishful drinking by the screenwriters. No such fossil evidence has ever been found.
What’s the harm, you say?
As a kid, I believed everything I saw on TV. Jonny Qwest, The Flintstones, Star Trek, the global cooling episode of Barney Miller. Some people shake this stuff off, like belief in Santa Claus. But many don’t, especially when it’s presented as fact, without question, in everything they see, hear, and read. Unsupportable claims are made about the Trinity, too. I’ll quote quite a few in this book.
This book’s format.
In my previous book, I briefly discussed what The Bible teaches about Yahweh, His divine Son, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. Here, I will address directly what is taught and claimed about the Trinity in mainstream evangelical books, by well-respected authors. I’ve read quite a few of these books and found them spiritually edifying. I have a high regard for the authors and in no way intend to impugn their Christian faithfulness or sincerity. Nevertheless, their books provide prime examples of promoting a hoax where no such evidence exists in the material they’re explaining. I’ve reviewed these books and am reproducing those reviews here, along with comments about study Bibles I own. I’ve also included an article I wrote as a response to the “Chickenasaurus”. Chickenasaurus can be Googled. If anything exposes evolution as a fraud, it’s the dupes involved with that project. I’m not trying to be snarky or contentious. Trying to be respectful of Chickenasaurus is difficult, especially when evolution is the greatest hoax of the past two hundred years and any who question it are ridiculed.
An article recently appeared in major news outlets about evolution and “Chernobyl dogs”. That doesn’t reach the absurd depths of Chickensaurus, but not for lack of trying. It seems “science” will grasp at any folly to avoid the obvious…The universe has a Creator. It is as written in the Scriptures, “…The wise men are ashamed, they are dismayed and taken. Behold, they have rejected the word of the LORD; so, what wisdom do they have?” (Jeremiah 8:9 NKJV)

ps...if the link is wonky, just go to Amazon and search for my name and the book's title.
