The Greatest Show on Earth

Richard Dawkin's new book - The Greatest Show on Earth

The world famous Science proclaimer ,evolutionary biologist and Atheist has a new book coming out in the next couple of days and here is link to an extract from the first chapter on the Times web site. The greatest Show on Earth

Agree or dis-agree with his arguments - on Atheism not Evolution, that's a matter of fact - you have to accept that he is a great word smith, and worth the time and effort for that alone.

What amazes me is that so few other current writers apart from Hitchin, Harris and Neil have captured this moment and have been able to eloquently describe the need for the human conscious to move from it's primaeval upbringings and start to move towards the acceptance of the reality of life on Earth and to forget superstition and childlike belief systems.

I can't wait to get my hands on the new book.

If you are religious, look away now

I often pop over to the Richard Dawkins web site to see how the video/book output is going, and occasionally join in the forums for a chat on all things existential.

I did however notice on my last visit this new tee shirt they had for sale, which is a quote from his God Delusion book.

It made me laugh, and I think I shall get myself one ordered ;)

Athiest Tee Shirt

It's sort of a follow on to all the great work that the secular movement has been up to with the anti-religious adverts on the London bendy buses.
