“Science can chip away at agnosticism, in a way that Huxley bent over backwards to deny for the special of God. I am arguing that, notwithstanding the polite abstinence of Huxley, Gould and many others, the God question is not in principle and forever outside the remit of science. As with the nature...
✪✪✪✪✪ 5 starsThis was an intense and very thought provoking read. It's anything but light and Dawkins certainly likes to pack a punch.I imagine with this one that Dawkins is perhaps already preaching to the converted though as I think they are the only ones that would consider picking this one up. I...
Dawkins' book makes a perfectly coherent and informative case that atheism should be taken seriously and religious belief scrutinised more severely. It identifies that Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection had a pivotal place in the history of ideas, by describing a mechanism by which al...
I have issues with a couple things in this book (comparing religious indoctrination to sexual abuse, mainly), but overall I'm really glad that I read it. Even more glad that I went back and *re-read* it almost immediately, because it is not the type of book you just breeze through once. There are po...
This took me a while to get through, not because it was bad, but because there is a lot of information and material to get through and understand (and I had to take multiple breaks to get away from the realistic, logical arguments and read something fun).Overall, I think this was very well written. ...
The first time I tried to read this book, I gave it up within about three pages, convinced that it was far too narrowly focused and inadequately researched to be a worthwhile criticism of religion. I had also recently seen the author give an interview in which he showed himself to be an unbearable, ...
I more or less share Dawkins's stance on religion, also on evolution and other science, though I'm a lot less heated in my opinions. However, this book is a bit repetitive, and lots of arguments are unnecessarily wordy.
بداية،السبب الرئيس لتقييمي المنخفض للكتاب، ليس بسبب انه كتاب يدعو إلى الإلحاد، ولا لأن كاتبه هو "ريتشارد دوكينز". بل السبب الأساسي في عدم إعجابي بالكتاب هو أنني قبل قراءتي له، توقعت ان رجلا عالما له وزنه مثل السيد دوكينز، ستكون له دراية واسعة وكبيرة في مجال الأديان والفلسفة العقلية وغيرها من المجالا...
Far from the impassioned, well reasoned argument against organised religion that I expected, this book is turning out to be incredibly dull, and the author incredibly annoying. His arguments seem to boil down to: "the idea of a god is so silly that of course there isn't one because that would be sil...
