Richard Dawkins taught zoology at the University of California at Berkeley and at Oxford University and is now the Charles Simonyi Professor of the Public Understanding of Science at Oxford, a position he has held since 1995. Among his previous books are The Ancestor's Tale, The Selfish Gene, The Blind Watchmaker, Climbing Mount Improbable, Unweaving the Rainbow, and A Devil's Chaplain. Dawkins lives in Oxford with his wife, the actress and artist Lalla Ward.
A preeminent scientist -- and the world's most prominent atheist -- asserts the irrationality of belief in God and the grievous harm religion has inflicted on society, from the Crusades to 9/11. With rigor and wit, Dawkins examines God in all his forms, from the sex-obsessed tyrant of the Old Testament to the more benign (but still illogical) Celestial Watchmaker favored by some Enlightenment thinkers. He 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. The God Delusion makes a compelling case that belief in God is not just wrong but potentially deadly. It also offers exhilarating insight into the advantages of atheism to the individual and society, not the least of which is a clearer, truer appreciation of the universe's wonders than any faith could ever muster.
海南出版社最近出了一套科普丛书。作者都是大腕,作品都是经典——别想歪了,正如小姐曾经是尊称一样,大腕、经典这两个词我用的都是本义。 我一直觉得,国人应该读点科普。这个观点值得单独写一篇文章来弘扬,但这里我只说一条:好的科普书传授的不仅仅是知...

评分几年以前,一位即将迈入信教之坑的“弟兄”曾发给我一些有关进化论的电子书(供批判用),其中就有理查德.道金斯的《盲眼钟表匠》等著作。当时他对我说的一句话让我印象深刻,他说:看了这些书真的让人增强信心啊。他接着解释道:这些“科学”书籍对于生命起源和演化的论述常常...
没啥哲学素养的科学家简直是灾难………道金斯是个很典型的例子(此条引战,长期有效)诉诸“仇宗情绪”哪里像科学家?完全是个anti-religion cult的教主
