I read the review of this book couple of days back.
The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins.
I faintly remember the exact words which appealed me in the review.
I did a look up on the net.
This is what sums up the theme of the book in Dawkin’s words.
“I am hostile to fundamentalist religion because it actively debauches the scientific enterprise.
It teaches us not to change our minds, and not to want to know exciting things that are available to be known.
It subverts science and saps the intellect”
debauch : Corrupt morally
subvert : Destroy completely
Surely my next buy.
There are two other titles, not so serious reading, by Scott adams.
God’s Debris and The Religion War

funny , I was going through your book section and i noticed that you have read “the emerging mind ” and yet to read “the god delusion” . I read those two books in the reverse order.both are good reads.ramakrishna provides scientific debth , as for god delusion i have never read any other book with so much of science and logic from different fields. hope you enjoy reading it.
