Dawkins always brilliantly defends evolution . He calims to be writinig for creationists, but any that picked the book up would probably soon desist due to the anger directed at them. It is not necessary to tear down the other side if you have all the evidence on your side. I think he should let it stand for itself.I understand ,however , that the worry is that people are being kept from learning about evolution, which is beautiful in and of itself. What greater argument is needed for peace and conservation than the fact that we, and by we I mean not just all people but all living things, are all related. ( )

A challenging read. Probably should have not read it at the same time as another book. Definitely one I'll go back and read again. ( )

All stuff in here that I have for the most part, come across before, but presented in some novel ways and mercilessly unforgiving to creationism. The best titbit I found was a brilliantly elegant description of cell differentiation during division. Now I get it! ( )

Delivered with wit and clarity, Dawkins shares the facts of evolution in an easy-to-follow format that’s perfect for anyone looking to learn the basics of how we (and the rest of life) came to be. While he tackles a few common misconceptions and creationist arguments, Dawkins stays focused on the evidence we have and why we know evolution to be true. Turns out, life really is the greatest show on earth. ( )
