Books: Richard Dawkins - The God Delusion
I was led to this book while listening to the New Scientist podcast. I had heard discussions about Richard Dawkins in an episode discussing how a well-known geologist deals with being both a Christian and a geologist, given the two are pretty much always at odds. Richard Dawkins is often regarded as one of the most vocal of the anti-religion movement.
It's an interesting read. I have to say I pretty much agree with most of the points he makes in the book although I don't like the early chapters too much. They tend to come across a bit like a point-scoring match with the religious communities, particularly the fundamentalist movements in the United States. However, the later chapters are well written and makes points that are pretty hard to ignore.
I'd recommend reading it but prewarn that you mightn't enjoy the early chapters as much as the later ones.
