5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing!, Sep 30 2009
This review is from: The God Delusion (Paperback)
This is a truly amazing book. It goes into every detail on why God cannot exist. I was neither an Atheist nor a Christian going into this book, but coming out, I now see the errors in Christianity and Atheism looks like a much better option. I started reading this with an open mind, and I think that is the secret to understanding this book. If you start to read this book all pissed off about the title, or with the intent of proving everything he says to be wrong, then you will waste your time. I see many of these people who have written reviews in the 1-2 star section.

This book critically looks at religion and asks the questions other people are apparently afraid to ask. Not only this, but he answers these questions with intelligent answers. Highly recommended for those of you who have an open mind and want to see what religion really is.

5.0 out of 5 stars An eye opener, Sep 30 2009
If anyone had any doubt about evolution after reading this book, then they probably started reading it with a closed mind to evolution in the first place. I admit, I was not sure how evolution was possible (before reading this book), but this book answered all of my questions and took a fair look at the subject from both sides of the issue. He shows, without a doubt, living evidence of evolution and the fact that humans have been on this earth for a lot longer than a few millennia, like some people think.

I notice that some of the reviews of this book are low saying that he didn't explain how the universe started, so this book isn't worth reading. This makes me chuckle. Actually, he goes into detail on how the universe could have started, but mentions several times that he cannot prove them because they are only theories, and that we do not have the technology right now to answer this question.

If you would like the understand more about the world around you and how it came to be, then this book is perfect for you. If you want to know exactly how the universe was created, which is impossible right now, then you should probably go back to reading the bible and live your sheltered life. Overall, Dawkins gives an optimistic look at the past, present, and future, and he showed me that the evidence for the fact of evolution is all around us, you just have to be willing to look.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic!, Sep 18 2009
I received this book a few day ago in the mail, and I haven't been able to put it down! Every page is printed in full color and contains pictures, interviews, and information. It contains information on the bands origins, information on the band members, information about very album, and so much more. I HIGHLY recommend this book the every Zeppelin fan reading this review. Happy Reading!
