Book Reviews of The God Delusion

Book Review: Science
Summary: 1 Stars

I would like to see a scientist disprove God's existence.
I would follow & adore anyone who can. Science actually works hand in hand with creation of the world by a Supreme Power.
What gets me is, let's just say evolution is real, it can only evolve back to the first item & then the
question has to be asked, where did that first item come from??!?
Have a wonderful day being scientific.
Try to disprove God, I invite you.
Then try to find out which religion is correct.?!
I will give you a hint, Roman Catholicism, I invite you to prove that wrong too,
by studying why all the other religions are false.
There is only one true religion in which it's leader dies out of love for all persons.
Even though not all persons will achieve it's rewards.

Summary of The God Delusion

In this provocative must-read, the preeminent scientistand worlds most prominent atheistRichard Dawkins asserts the irrationality of belief in God and the grievous harm religion has inflicted on society, from the Crusades to 9/11. The God Delusion makes a compelling case that belief in God is not just wrong, but potentially deadly. It also offers exhilarating insight on the advantages of atheism to the individual and society, not the least of which is a clearer, truer appreciation of the universes wonders than any faith could ever muster. With rigor and wit, Dawkins eviscerates the major arguments for religion and demonstrates the supreme improbability of a supreme being. He shows how religion fuels war, foments bigotry, and abuses children, buttressing his points with historical and contemporary evidence. This is a book that challenges all of us to test our beliefs, no matter what beliefs we hold.
