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.
这本书对我真是雪中送炭。我一直在找宗教实证研究的材料(比如祷告和健康的相关度、信仰和善行的相关度等等),但就是搜不到 因为国内没几个做这个的。没想到,这些问题这本书都涉及了,而且外国人早就研究过了,研究的结论是:祷告对治病没用,对植物生长也没用,各地人类在道...

評分道金斯(Richard Dawkins)的原著(The God Delusion)写得十分精彩。在书店见到陈蓉霞这个译本,起初还为不懂英文的人庆幸,及至对照原文一读,才发现翻译得太差了!可说是错漏百出,惨不忍睹! 其实很多错误,只要认真查一查词典即可避免,可惜译者没有这么做,而是想当然地...

评分同意他的觀點但寫得有點太激動瞭吧。。。
评分道德原來是進化的産物呀。這麼說來,道德確實是沒有確定的標準的。難怪《正義》那幫人在那邊爭得頭破血流也沒有結果。 另外,我覺的作者把科學觀同科學研究手段等同起來瞭,這個不好。
