About The God Delusion - Book Description
In his sensational international bestseller, the preeminent scientist and outspoken atheist Richard Dawkins delivers a hard-hitting, impassioned, but humorous rebuttal of religious belief. With rigor and wit, Dawkins eviscerates the arguments for religion and demonstrates the supreme improbability of the existence of a supreme being. He makes a compelling case that faith is not just irrational, but potentially deadly. In a preface written for the paperback edition, Dawkins responds to some of the controversies the book has incited. This brilliantly argued, provocative book challenges all of us to test our beliefs, no matter what beliefs we hold.
The God Delusion Reviews by BookSwim Members
This is an absolutely fantastic piece of work. Dawkins offers a lucid discussion about the logical implications that scientific evidence presents for religion, as well as a decent analysis of religious claims and practices. At times he can be a tad technical, which some readers might find discouraging, but the work should be readily accessible to most people. I enjoyed the illuminating expositions on evolutionary theory. It's surprising how poorly misunderstood this is in popular science. People who hold misconceptions that evolution is about "survival of the fittest", or who think that natural selection is a random chance process can benefit greatly from this book.
