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.

評分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...
評分这本书的优点很让我叹服,但我觉得这本书的缺点也很明显。我一向觉得,任何事物有优点也有缺点,而在理解其优点之前不应该轻易批评其缺点(其实对人何尝不也是这样)。 那我就先来回顾一下它的优点。 <进化论> 这是我第一次读进化论的书。以前我接受课本里的进化论知识(虽...

評分仍然很受啓發。其中提到,雙盲實驗能否證明受到祈禱的人們康復得更好,當然不能,兩組數據幾乎一樣。但是還有第三組實驗對象,他們知道自己受到瞭祈禱,結果我想當然是“安慰劑效應”,結果居然不是!他們的康復狀況最差,然後我明白瞭“performance anxiety”

评分這本我買的是紙本.太重瞭不好帶,隻有周末看,結果看瞭半年纔看完.我還真是大笨蛋...而且我還買瞭the greatest show on earth的硬皮本...以後就隻買電子書!
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。
