Editorial Review:

Product 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.

Man speaks the truth!!!, with all due apologies to David Hume and my philosophy Professors in college.

Rating: - Excellent literary writing
Richard Dawkins and his book, The God Dilution, attempts to test people's faith. I think it is impossible to analyze The Almighty One the same way you would any other scientific theory. It's like comparing apples and oranges. There will always be those people who are faithful, those who are atheists, and those who are on the fence as agnostics. It will all be made clear in the end. I had to give him four stars for his excellent literary writing and continuing the great debate.

Rating: - Another angle.......
'The God Delusion' is an interesting, sometimes fun, occasionally irritating, and mostly antagonistic writing. As a practicing biologist, I find myself reading and reviewing from within the framework of evolutionary theory. But from the concern that this could be too myopic, I consider the likes of Vine Deloria Jr.'s "Evolution, Creationism and other Modern Myths" to be a worthy companion and recommend this to other readers.

I found 'Delusion' to be somewhat scattered at times in what ... Read More
