• Prologue: the 10,000-year test; 1. Development and the divine; 2. The end is not near; 3. Big ambitions; 4. A poor record; 5. Verdict: immature not doomed; 6. A new path for science and religion; 7. The new agnosticism; 8. Naturalism tamed; 9. Agnostic religion?; 10. The new humanism; Epilogue: the religion project.

'A lovely book. Schellenberg makes the case that, contrary to common opinion, religion is still in a primitive stage, far from being baroquely overdeveloped. Only with time can it come into its own. As an old-fashioned non-believer, I am excited by the tussle we shall have, until one stands triumphant over the other. Read it yourself and join in the fun.' Michael Ruse, Lucyle T. Werkmeister Professor of Philosophy, Florida State University
