 The Philosophy of History: Naturalism and Religion, by James Stroud, shows how Naturalism is false and why it should not be used to influence how history is studied.    The book discusses four different historic events:

• “Origins of the Universe and Cosmological Constants.”
• “Origin of Life- Cambrian Explosion and Human Origins.”
• “Origin of Civilization before the Common Era.”
• “The Common of Era of the Historical Jesus.”

My thoughts- The Philosophy of History: Naturalism and Religion, by James Stroud, was very interesting and I agree with what he said in his book. 

The only negative that I saw when I read this book was, that since it was originally written for the academic setting it would be difficult for the average person to understand.  I think though that this book is important for everyone to read and understand, because naturalism is false and we should not use it to learn about ancient history.  This book can be very technical, so it would be a wonderful college text.  I also think this book would needs to be read by the experts in the media.  It is the media who will help change the way people think.

Everybody deserves to a chance to know how the world really began and what happened in ancient history.  This book will help spread the truth.  Please find a copy, read it, and pass it along to someone who would enjoy it.
