The Dawkins Delusion?: Atheist Fundamentalism and the Denial of the Divine
was a book a really struggled to complete.
There are no real arguments either way all that McGrath's seem to say is that that evolution proves God. Which of course it does not either way.
Disappointed.
Sad, pleading and silly: why do they do it? - Rated
To describe this book as casuistry would be to dignify the intellectual dishonesty and shuffling of facts with a respect the authors do not deserve. Only the most deluded of believers will be taken in by this. A pointless piece of failed spin which does damage to the cause they seek to promote. Sad that adults spend their time on writing this.
Oh dear...... - Rated
I've been an atheist for 30 of my 56 years. I believe in lots of things but I don't believe there is a divine creator. I've got an open mind (I hope!) so I read Alister McGrath's little book to get some insight into religious belief. I'm even more confused!I really don't understand what all the fuss is about unless theists are feeling threatened. I've given McGrath's book 1 star because it did tell me something my benign Roman Catholic childhood did not - that the concept of Christ redeeming our sins was an Augustinian invention and not something which came from Christ himself. So I did learn something. Can someone please point me to a book which will dispassionately and objectively discuss the evidence for a creator?
Poor effort - Rated
Alister McGrath's effort is a poor work of criticism, i am an atheist (former christian) and i decided to read this book as Prof McGrath was coming to my university to attack Dawkins. I was utterly frustrated that this book and his subsequent lecture was essentialy not an arguement against Dawkins ideas, but literacy critiscim, going on about how poorly written it was, or how damaging this book was to the secular agenda. Nothing at all was a response to the core arguements in the God Delusion, this man made money from Dawkins name and an overlong critical review with no depth. When will there be a decent response from the God-Bods, i suppose never because they can't.
Looking in the wrong place! - Rated
I have not read this particular book but I have read 'Dawkins' God' by McGrath and although I desperately hoped something would leap from the pages and demolish Dawkins' bigotry I am afraid I was disappointed. In the light of all which has been said by parties of both camps i.e. theists and non-theists I suggest you read 'Evolution Under the Microscope' by David Swift. Swift is a British scientist and micro-biologist. If after reading it you still think the unimaginable, utterly improbable complexity of biochemical systems could have arisen by purposeless freaky mutations of the genetic code, then you deserve to be labelled a Darwinist.
