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.

幾年以前,一位即將邁入信教之坑的“弟兄”曾發給我一些有關進化論的電子書(供批判用),其中就有理查德.道金斯的《盲眼鍾錶匠》等著作。當時他對我說的一句話讓我印象深刻,他說:看瞭這些書真的讓人增強信心啊。他接著解釋道:這些“科學”書籍對於生命起源和演化的論述常常...
評分如果宗教問題,特彆是亞伯拉罕諸教尚以其神秘的麵紗讓你感到難以接近,而你又多少對此感到好奇或者不安的話,那你不妨聽聽DAWKINS對該問題勇敢而係統的分析。有神或無神不是小問題,他們的區彆意味著完完全全不同的宇宙。DAWKINS的文筆犀利而風趣,就像擁有能夠點燃你自主跟進...
評分據百度所說,理查德·道金斯是英國著名的演化生物學傢、動物行為學傢和科普作傢,還是英國皇傢科學院院士和牛津大學教授。他是目前在世的最著名、最直言不諱的無神論者和達爾文進化論擁護者之一。 《上帝錯覺》(The God Delusion)的中心思想是:能設計任何事物的具有足夠復雜...
評分原作五星,譯作二星。譯後記中譯者想憋瞭半天終於決定揮手摑道金斯一掌,結果拍自己臉上瞭,而且特彆響。惜乎…科學文化人吧? 接著打算看《the greatest show on earth - the evidence for evolution》瞭,好在沒有中譯……

他不是溫和派。
評分看的很爽,Dawkins的論點很全麵,整個書邏輯很嚴謹,基本上是麵麵俱到,雖然說能學到的東西倒是不多,更多的是重溫瞭雙方的觀點。本來認為他有點過於偏激瞭,但現在讀瞭他的書後,覺得也不是沒有道理。不過態度居高臨下,有點刻薄倒是真的,這點我也要注意。但即使如此,看《南方公園》拿他開涮也還是很逗。

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”
評分two-thumbs-up
