Outgrowing God: A Beginner's Guide by Richard Dawkins

“...cut yourself adrift from comforting, tame, apparent certainties and embrace the wild truth” ~RD

Dawkins can get carried away with his science writing, often forgetting that not all of us are versed in the vernacular - but not here. Here, in theology, he writes with meticulous intent. Imagine Einstein speaking to a class of college freshmen, not just blurting out E=mc2, but rather taking the time to explain that “E” represents “energy” and “m” represents “mass” and “c” represents the speed of light, and that the speed of light is 186,000 miles/second. Dawkins isn’t speaking down to us, he’s quite eloquently lifting us up, wielding his unassailable logic with phenomenal grace and clarity. This is a primer for critical thinkers and those who may be wavering at the threshold of reason.

*Do the English really say ‘anti-clockwise’? Seriously?
