Richard Dawkins and His God Delusion: A Preliminary Critique of His Truth Claims


J. Steve Miller - 2011
    This brief critique (60 pp. if it were in print) takes several of Dawkins's main contentions and subjects them to research and analysis. Students and researchers should find value in the documentation and links to further sources. His popular writing style makes it accessible to nonspecialists. According to Dr. Henry F. Schaefer III, one of the most distinguished living physical scientists, specialist in quantum and computational chemistry, and author of over 1000 scientific publications, "I welcome this thoughtful and easily digested response to the insubstantial attacks on God by the world's most popular atheist." Although introductory rather than exhaustive, this monograph responds to the following claims by Dawkins:1. Religion demands blind faith and considers unquestioned faith a virtue. 2. Religion puts people in a “semi-permanent form of morbid guilt.”3. Scientists who acknowledge God are typically closet atheists. 4. There's "no shred of evidence" for the existence of God.5. The fine tuning of the universe can be explained by multiple universes.6. The seemingly insurmountable odds of the chance formation of the first cells can be overcome by chance operating on billions of planets. 7. The complexity of any conceivable brilliant, powerful Creator, makes the probability of His emergence very unlikely. 8. The accounts of Jesus's life are fictional, written long after the events supposedly took place. 9. The accounts of Jesus's life were subsequently translated and copied so many times that we have no idea what the originals actually said. Miller examines each of these attacks with clear prose, authoritative documentation, and an impassioned appeal to reason.
