The God Delusion

Dawkins has a very superficial understanding of the theistic arguments he writes about, and a very poor understanding of how to write an argument. He restates atheist arguments that have been around for 400 years, and doesn't think it necessary to address theists' objections to them. His argument that agnostics bend over backwards to please theists is unsubstantiated. From that evolution doesn't require god(s) to explain it, it does not deductively follow “gods don't exist.” Such metaphysical claims as “gods exist” and “there are no gods” (also: “events have causes”) are unfalsifiable and therefore not a possible subject of scientific inquiry. His claim that every “true” scientist was a secret (or public) atheist is also unsubstantiated.

If I could have given this book zero stars, I would have.
