The God Delusion, Dawkins his life's work? The book is a collection of arguments against monotheism, the Dawkins in his life, through his personal
empiricism is summarized.
he uses his reason, like many other men do
and says immediately: "No, there is no God"
In many chapters, he is now arguing why he is so sure, yet he brings
no scientific evidence, but deals only with the '
in (probably) sent to America God faith, superstition, and combines it with his opinion.
The reader is immediately apparent that Dawkins is a gifted polemicist and knows exactly how with one another finish-ground records can run into a dead end. Sometimes I had to smile with which he worked on ridiculous topics. But well, one of his arguments. But I have not lost by this point my Christian faith, and had but a great insight into how many atheists think and I believe that many atheists Dawkins spoke from the heart.
So I would rule out ever bervor I was here catechized:
- the human mind is a product of the brain and an evolutionary product
- who does not believe in God, does not come into hell
- the free will exists only in strongly limited opportunities our prefrontal cortex provides
and in my opinion, to achieve this task of man.
to his argument:
The virus case: Susan Blackmore has long since withdrawn their thesis and is no longer sure whether religiosity is harmful http://tinyurl.com/6xctc36
about reproduction and religiosity, he only briefly on , who want a little more detail if you please: http://tinyurl.com/5wzovnv
Richard Dawkins answer: http://tinyurl.com/64xa8y7
Richard Dawkins is not scientific, but greatly simplified and, in my opinion very conservative.
He also experienced during the book one or the other level flight, in a passage he wrote very derogatory about Catholics. ("Dumb Catholics") Was it I think:-D
to mention his interpretation of the Bible is truly blind.
The sacrifice of Abraham, Isaac, the son is not so understanding how it Dawkins suggests.
It's about the case, whether a father should kill his son for his faith, as it happened
in many fundamentalist countries, be it crime or other by marriage.
And not that any God demands human sacrifice. :-D
Well enough of that, so Bible-I am not that I trust myself more.
But from a layman.
The reason and in response to Dawkins, why religions exist is simply because good is it!
If a behavior does not benefit, the evolution would have long since discarded. One should make it more thought, it brings many people to be religious, and why have these more children than secular people.
is observed, namely, that secular people in the first generation still have a higher number of children that happens, however, as an adaptation.
over several generations, however, forfeit the interest of many children. Against what the Amish have
doubled in the last 16 years. (1992-2008 / 125000-230000)
I think that religiosity is adaptive, like everything else, but you're not in a position to say that bad faith or God invented.
God as the motivation I think is useful for properly.
Freud's superego has also not covered.
There is a longing for trust of everyone, that everyone carries.
What is also observed in other mammals.
religiously so that everyone who can not help or wants.
The human mind is a means to survive and to reproduce and reason is only one of its many resources. (Edward O. Wilson)
men think of no better than women, they think otherwise. So that women are more likely than men religiously.
does not mean that women are dumber, but that they use other means to fulfill your task.
What reason not covered by empirical research, makes the rest of the brain.
And we still have the freedom to believe in that which is good for us. For
in reality ...
we should be honest with ourselves, we know nothing. ;-)
Yours.
