Richard Dawkins‘ God Delusion: A Critique

About this ebook

Richard Dawkins' God Delusion is not only a fascinating battle with the book written by the famous British atheist. It is a clash of two epochs - the old atheistic school of the XIX and XX centuries, full, as it turns out, of an irrational chaos of assertions, contradictions and intolerance - with the modern Christianity of XXI century, focused on the accuracy, consistency and objectivity of the presented position. It is a confrontation of two different worldviews, philosophical and biological, in a dispute about the value system based on modern scientific achievements of man. 
There are also other works by dr Paweł Bloch: Ateistoteles and The Great Dictator, yet still in preparation.

Ratings and reviews

thought it was really good you give me the information I need to do debates with atheist and usually the first question I asked is was that a moral choice, or intellectual choice that you became an atheist, and admit it either way you got them, and why do they spend so much time with their life thinking about God that doesn't exist stop talking about God that doesn't exist I'm telling other people that God doesn't exist that's a lot of knowledge of wasting your time cuz you ain't got long here on Earth because when you die you're nothing you just disappear as for me I've seen and hurt and felt and cut many many things that have made me a Christian I used to be a hardcore no good rotten sob so keep giving us information so we can do our apologetics sometimes I I really enjoyed to meet atheist and all the Jehovah's and Mormons in any other cult that comes around did they just strengthens me up it's like sharpening a pencil for battle with words. do any of you people know that Einstein said he was wrong and that's a fact it's Darwin's colleagues told him that it makes a wonderful story but they don't think it's right cuz he didn't have that kind of knowledge to do that kind of stuff. I I mean I can say that a black hole does this and do that nobody knows what it does do it's so many different things that they don't even know it's just made up it's a scientist says that it's true and the fights to the death until somebody proves them wrong which is every 5 minutes so we all have a nice day me I got to go talk to God see if my room is ready up there

Almost every child under ten believes in Santa Claus and when the child comes to the realization that the big man couldn't possibly deliver all those presents in one night or squeeze down the chimney, it is at this point the child begins his/her introduction to the world of logic. Author Bloch unfortunately has not had his aha moment and never will. The book is full of flaws and childlike assertions, ie 'millions of people believe in god' he gives as a reason there is a god...of course millions also believe in Hinduism and Buddhism but those religions are always glossed over as irrelevant. Save your money (whoops, it's free, imagine that!) and read something that doesn't try to convince us that Rudolph is real.

Just to put this book into perspective for you, i'll give you an example. He says atheists believe instead of a supernatural afterlife or human souls, that there is just emptiness. This is false. We believe there is life; we live it and it ends. Saying without the afterlife (or other supernatural beliefs) then there is emptiness is like saying "After eating dinner you declined dessert. The waitress then served you a clean plate with nothing on it for dessert."
