“The God Delusion”

Professor Academic professional John Bambenek, writing at Blogger News Network, has a devastating review of Richard Dawkins’ The God Delusion. What some are hailing as a defense of reason, Bambenek shows to be what he calls, “a rehash of pop philosophy and loosely strung together anecdotes, half-truths, and outright falsehoods”. Well worth reading.

Thanks for the link, one thing, I’m not a professor. Academic professional is just what they call the professional (i.e. non-union) staff at this campus.
Thanks for the correction. I’ll modify the post. And thanks for an illuminating review.
Thank Richard Dawkins for an illuminating book instead! Finally a book on the subject that sums up all the arguments and can be read by everyone.
If a few anecdotes and some cherry picked bad examples constitute illumination, that seems to be a rather low threshold.
