This is probably one of the most famous books by biologist and atheist Richard Dawkins. He contends that a supernatural creator almost certainly does not exist and that belief in a personal god qualifies as a delusion, which he defines as a persistent false belief held in the face of strong contradictory evidence. Its a good read, I highly recommend it.
I actually agree with him a large degree. But I hate his personality. He just reminds me of the typical socially retarded self righteous dumbasses who have a shit ton of book smarts but have absolutely no social skills and is hated by everyone he interacts with.
Really? I think hes very charming...Quote:

I've read "the selfish gene", and plan to re-read it again because I couldn't absorb everything the first time. A fascinating book.
Dawkins should stick to biology, he is no good on theism-atheism debates. He is much more of a popularizer than a deep thinker.
