Summary of The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins | Includes Analysis

 

Preview:

In The God Delusion, philosopher Richard Dawkins evaluates popular arguments

for the existence of God. The idea that God is not an object that can be accessed

and reviewed using human reason is rejected. Instead, evidence that proves with at

least 51% certainty is presented to prove that God does, in fact, not exist, casting

reasonable doubt on the efficacy and usefulness of belief in God.

Genuine curiosity as disciplined by a sound scientific method is far more useful

than religions. Religion is all too often based on superstition. An in depth

investigation of the intellectual bankruptcies of polytheism and monotheism, the

secular beliefs of the Founding Fathers, and the Galton and Stannard prayer

experiments underscore this idea. In contrast, the argument for natural selection

shows it can account for the whole of human life rather than the idea that there is

one divine creator, a statement that in itself leads to more questions, such as the

origins of that single creator…
