Exaclty.I've read The god delusion and have a book or two of the other authors too(but in pdf format)so haven't got around to read them yet.What i meant was books like friedrich nietzsche's.I've been chatting with someone and i posted this earlier here:

(Why scientific enterprise makes sense- A Christian response

Views on human origin have implications on human nature and the nature of human cognitive faculty. Completely naturalistic Darwinian view of human origin is no different. From a Darwinian perspective, human beings are just another animal and human thinking faculty is the result of variation (mutations) acted upon by Natural selection. The implication is that, human faculty evolved according to the ability to survive in a given environment. Which means our thinking faculty was a survival tool for a given environment. Which means it was evolved to give the right reaction in such a way that the organism would survive in a given environment and not necessarily to think universal truth. This should make the reliability of our thinking faculty doubtful. A point explicitly made even by atheist Alex Rosenberg in his book, Atheist guide to reality. This idea is not unique to Rosenberg, even atheist Michael Shermer said “Humans are pattern-seeking story-telling animals, and we are quite adept at telling stories about patterns, whether they exist or not.” This view of Shermer is not far off from Darwinian view of human faculty. With such reasons to doubt the reliability of human cognitive faculty, the question, Does the enterprise of science, which heavily depends on human cognitive faculty, makes sense? Many may justify engaging in the enterprise of science by pointing at the success of science. That only take us to another question, why is scientific enterprise successful? Given the role played by science in our present world, this question is worth asking. To this question, different worldviews may answer differently (or may fail to answer).

This is an attempt to answer the question “why the scientific enterprise makes sense?” from a Christian worldview. Though a comprehensive definition of science seems elusive to the philosophers of science, science in a general way is the search for truth about the universe. According to Christianity, universe is the result of a personal creator, God. That God as a rational law giver is embedded in Christian teachings. Christianity also teaches that Human beings are the result of God’s creation, who made them in His image. There are many facets about the nature of being made in the Image of God; two important facets (in the context of this article) are stressed here for the purpose of this argument.

First, being made in the Image of God means human beings, like God, are persons. Thus, human reasoning activity is viewed as the result of a unified personhood rather than mere collective activities of different neurons. This explains the reliability of human reason much better than those worldviews that reduce human reasoning to mere activities of neurons (as done by Daniel Dennet) or considers unified self as a fiction (as believed by Steven Pinker). Here is why it is so; while engaging in reasoning that involves several steps, this sequence takes place:
At Time 1 (T1), Naro thinks, A=B
At Time 2 (T2), Naro thinks, B=C
Therefore,
At Time 3 (T3), Naro thinks, A=C.

What is required for inference of A=C in this sequence of reasoning is a unified self of ‘Naro’ over different time intervals (T1, T2, and T 3) or else it would be like ‘Naro’ thinking A=B at T1, and ‘Temjen’ thinking B=C at T2, which would make thinking A=C impossible. Thus, the idea of human beings being a unified self as taught in Christian worldview gives a good explanation for the kind of reasoning constantly use in the enterprise of science.

Secondly, being made in the Image of God means humans have an intellect like that of God (i.e. The intelligence of human being is different from God not in terms of types but in terms of degree). The implication is, Humans can think like God. This idea is particularly important as a philosophical foundation for human beings to engage in scientific enterprise. One important assumption to be made for undertaking the scientific enterprise is, the universe out there can be studied and understood by human being. That statement is not or cannot be proved by science but rather it is assumed by science. Such assumption raises the question, what theoretical justification can be given for that assumption to be legitimate? After all, why should what goes on in my mind should match with what goes on in the universe? Christian worldview has its answer to that question. As mentioned above, Christianity teaches that God created the universe according to His rational mind and humans who being able to think like God can therefore discover the workings of the universe as it was made according to the thinking of that God. This view may seem obvious to a person living in 21st century but studying the cultures before scientific revolution makes it clear that the belief in the ability of human mind to discover the laws or the workings of the universe wasn’t so obvious. It is indeed no historical coincidence that such courage to trust the ability of human mind to discover the working of the universe was developed in Christian Europe, the birth place of modern science as we know it (Science as we know it originated only once and it was in Christian Europe). For this reason sociologist and philosopher of science Steve Fuller (who is an atheist) argued that the Science was developed with “the belief that the natural order is the product of a single intelligence from which our own intelligence descends.” Thus from a Christian worldview, scientific enterprise is, in the words of a pioneer of science Johannes Kepler, “thinking God’s thought after Him”, for which Christian theology give ample justification.

Thus, a Christian has his/her philosophical justifications for why scientific enterprise makes sense, which is rooted in Christian theology. This leads to the question, is the Christian narrative of Human being as image bearer of God just a useful narrative for science or is it really true? The answer seems to lie in the actual practice of science and mathematics. The history clearly shows the applicability of mathematics in physical sciences. The success of mathematics lies not only in helping in explaining some physical phenomena but using mathematics to predict discoveries in physical sciences, without any experimental evidence. Here is what happens, simply by using mathematical calculation with no experimentation, prediction are often made that will be discovered experimentally in future. This trend is not a matter of one single occurrence but did happen multiple times. This has profound philosophical implications. Why would the logical calculation by human beings as done in mathematics lead to insights about the universe? If human are just “pattern seekers”, how come the realities of the physical world constantly conform to the thinking of human being? Or as Albert Einstein asked, “How can it be that mathematics, being after all a product of human thought which is independent of experience, is so admirably appropriate to the objects of reality?” Perhaps human mind isn’t just a product of variation acted upon by natural selection to survive, perhaps we are not just “pattern seekers”, rather it is reasonable to say that we are capable of “thinking God’s thought after Him” and the very fact that we can discover about the universe using our reason shows that the universe is rational, pointing to the direction that it might have been a result of rational mind.)

so i was thinking of digging more on the philosophical side too.
