Description:

A scientist argues that an individual?s belief in God is illogical and/or foolish, and that organized religion has been behind a great deal of violence and harm throughout history. Richard Dawkins, from Oxford, considers the many conceptions of God and the many arguments for his existence, and finds them to be wanting. Atheism, says Dawkins, is a rational alternative that can provide a true appreciation of the wondrous bounty of the world.

      I loved this book. Read "The God Delusion" together with my 9 year old son. I support Professor Dawkins views 100%. Very well written and makes a lot of sense. Atheists of the World, unite!

    • My Appetite for Knowledge was Filled Again

      Since I have eyesight problems I depend upon audio books now. This one must be listened to more than one time. Fill your head with ideas.

    • God Delusion

      I really like Dawkins on evolution. I enjoyed this too but Dawkins' anger and intensity began to wear before the book was done. Still, I recommend it.

  • The antireligion wars started by Daniel Dennett and Sam Harris will heat up even more with this salvo from celebrated Oxford biologist Dawkins. For a scientist who criticizes religion for its intolerance, Dawkins has written a surprisingly intolerant book, full of scorn for religion and those who believe. But Dawkins, who gave us the selfish gene, anticipates this criticism. He says it's the scientist and humanist in him that makes him hostile to religions fundamentalist Christianity and Islam come in for the most opprobrium that close people's minds to scientific truth, oppress women and abuse children psychologically with the notion of eternal damnation. While Dawkins can be witty, even confirmed atheists who agree with his advocacy of science and vigorous rationalism may have trouble stomaching some of the rhetoric: the biblical Yahweh is "psychotic," Aquinas's proofs of God's existence are "fatuous" and religion generally is "nonsense." The most effective chapters are those in which Dawkins calms down, for instance, drawing on evolution to disprove the ideas behind intelligent design. In other chapters, he attempts to construct a scientific scaffolding for atheism, such as using evolution again to rebut the notion that without God there can be no morality. He insists that religion is a divisive and oppressive force, but he is less convincing in arguing that the world would be better and more peaceful without it. (Oct. 18) (c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC.
