Comments on: Richard Dawkins’ New Book… http://www.patheos.com/blogs/friendlyatheist/2009/01/12/richard-dawkins-new-book-2/ by Hemant Mehta Tue, 14 Feb 2012 10:27:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.3 By: therese http://www.patheos.com/blogs/friendlyatheist/2009/01/12/richard-dawkins-new-book-2/#comment-353341 therese Sat, 29 Aug 2009 21:21:07 +0000 http://friendlyatheist.com/?p=7668#comment-353341 Dawkins is a brilliant and elequent writer. I look forward to his new book. However, despite the fact that he rejects those of us who have a faith, he is only adding to the wonder and knowledge of the mystery of life by publishing his book explaining scientific findings. It is a fact that God exists and it is utter nonsense to suppose that the wonder of life is chance! Science is like a dictionary offering explanation of meaning. Each word is explained but the whole book is something different. Keep going Dawkins and one day, you may like Malcom Muggeridge change your tune and wake up and realise God's gift of life.

Released on my birthday….hmmmm.

Mine too! September 10th is obviously a good day for this sort of thing. After all, last year they turned on the Large Hadron Collider to celebrate our birthday.

He's a fantastic communicator when it comes to science and wears his passion for the subject on his sleeve. Also, it's about time this kind of book was written - one which, rather than explaining evolutionary theory yet again, simply points out all the evidence and says "this is how we know it's right!". It'll not shut the hardcore ID/creationist crowd up but, if written as well as I expect it will be, it may win more converts to the cause of rationality than The God Delusion did.
