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.
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.

評分希望再版时改进: 1. P 18 'Homosexuality is a sin, Islam is a lie, abortion is murder. Some issues are just black and white!' 宗教是谎言, 应为, 伊斯兰教是谎言 这个翻译错了影响对这个段落的理解。 2。P145. The conversation had moved on before I could find...
評分据百度所说,理查德·道金斯是英国著名的演化生物学家、动物行为学家和科普作家,还是英国皇家科学院院士和牛津大学教授。他是目前在世的最著名、最直言不讳的无神论者和达尔文进化论拥护者之一。 《上帝错觉》(The God Delusion)的中心思想是:能设计任何事物的具有足够复杂...
