Conversation Among Friends - Dawkins - Comments

delusional?

JS - i looked at the reviews of the d'souza book, and it sounds like he falls *splat* on his face when it comes to arguing science. reading the one-star reviews on amazon is revealing. ow! which may be a really bad idea when you're trying to vy for supremacy with a bunch of scientists? i am afraid well intentioned, but uninformed defence of the faith may play strongly into the hands of those with bad intent. that's why i'm so keen on getting myself well prepared.

the other book, however, i think is really worth reading. it's in my shopping cart now thanks for the pointer. keep it up!

PM,

FYI, I think this book by Dinesh D'Souza is an attempt to respond to Dawkins and company. This looks like an excellent response. One reviewer summarizes each chapter on Amazon.

Oops, I was actually thinking of the Dawkins Delusion. The link will get you there.

Peter,

As I mentioned the other day I bought one of these anti-God books the other day to see what the pitch was like. I didn't buy Dawkins' because it's just a rant.

Reading this soon.
