Good Reasoning Within,
Jun 25, 2009
|
| By Teal99 |
|
|
"I enjoyed this book although Dawkins does write a tad confusingly at times. He gives excellent reasons and information to contradict current reasons given for the existence of a "god". Overall I think his main point is how atrocious religion has been for the world overall....wars, deaths etc.."

Insightful and Honest,
Apr 23, 2009
|
| By evolvinglife,

"Many of the points Dawkins makes in this book I had already given thought to. But Dawkins provides ample background to these ideas and to both sides of any argument (and in some cases, the many sides). His primary arguments are against religion and the existence of God, however, as for God, he doesn't claim his non-existence. Rather, Dawkins builds an argument to support the probability of his non-existence. It is within this probability that Dawkins urges us to live better lives.
He further shows how virtually no existing description of a god stands up to rational investigation. Atheism, then, becomes the non-acceptance of traditional and mythical descriptions of God adhered to through non-evidential blind faith.
While the term spiritual is somewhat inappropriate, I would use the term nevertheless to describe Dawkins, as anyone who questions, investigates, doubts, and proposes rational explanations as much as he is, in my view, a spiritual person. (Blind faith, in contrast, is not spiritual but is instead sentimental.)
In some ways, Dawkins does not go far enough in his criticism of religion. He gives it a very wide berth, perhaps because he is not willing to dismiss a counter argument without a thoughtful addressing of its underlying flaw in logic or intent. As a result, you will not find in this book rantings or unfounded criticisms. There were many times I had to put the book down and follow his argument in my mind, to see if it was indeed what he claims it to be. I was always satisfied that his words were true.
In one difficult chapter, near the end of the book, he addresses the topic of Mitochondrial Eve and discusses various pathways of genetic inheritance with respect to a common human ancestor. The lack of illustrations to convey these ideas is a drawback, but perhaps this was intentional. The purpose of the book is to make the reader think. This chapter places a demand on your mind's ability to visualize. His descriptions make sense when you can see in your mind what he is saying.
I recommend this book to anyone who wants to know more about the why and how of their own beliefs and where those beliefs came from. What Dawkins only touches upon in the beginning of the book, however--it seems to me--is the whole point of the exercise: namely, there is a measurable probability of a thing being true or of its being untrue. Of such seemingly untouchable subjects, such as the existence or non-existence of God, Dawkins gives us a wonderful collection of insights by which we can judge for ourselves the probability of the truthfulness of religion, irrespective of its usefulness, and of the truthfulness of there being a God, irrespective of what effect the belief in his existence has in people's lives. Dawkins seeks honesty, and I believe his honesty is well conveyed."

Excellent concept, but "preachy",
Aug 9, 2007
|
| By exinternav,

"The book confirms what I have believed for awhile, that religion is a problem for society. Dawkins sounds a bit strident, but his examples and discussion of research in the area of religion are good."

Dogma Be Damned!!!,
Aug 9, 2007
|
| By RazorRay,

"Richard Dawkins has made it that much easier for the many who question the "unquestionable" to walk through life with their heads held high.
Score one for those who live and think rationally!"
