The Devil's Delusion: Atheism and its Scientific Pretensions
ISBN-10:
0465019374
Militant atheism is on the rise. In recent years Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, Daniel Dennett, and Christopher Hitchens have produced a steady stream of best-selling books denigrating religious belief. These authors are merely the leading edge of a larger movement that includes much of the scientific community.
In response, mathematician David Berlinski, himself a secular Jew, delivers a biting defense of religious thought. The Devil's Delusion is a brilliant, incisive, and funny book that explores the limits of science and the pretensions of those who insist it is the ultimate touchstone for understanding our world.

There are no "limits" to science. Many rational humans do however have limited imaginations. Perhaps that's what he is talking about - in contrast to religious believers who have limitless imaginations.
