The God Delusion

Richard Dawkins addressed that point in his book The God Delusion, noting that he is a de facto atheist.

But one of the things that I really enjoyed about the God delusion is that you kind of outlined every single possible argument against atheism and then had a counter to it in advance.

the first PDF download of the Arabic edition of the God delusion was downloaded 13 million times Arabic edition 13 million times.

Well, I tell you what we're doing, Dr. Jordan Peterson, what you said is very similar to what Richard Dawkins said in an debate with the Archbishop of the then Archbishop of Canterbury.

And he said that well, if you have and he said this debate, he made this argument in Oxford.

And he said that if you look at the universe, well, if you're saying that God has made the universe in this way, then your God who's more complicated than he would add this layer of complexity.

This your God is more complicated would require it even greater. He would require even greater explanation.

the problem with debating people like Richard Dawkins about the existence of God is that he will formulate the argument in propositional terms and then force the person so to speak.

I read every book that the man is literally ever written at least they stopped 10 years ago don't know if he's written anything since.

Science books two before God yeah they're great phenomenal yeah I mean I think it's controversial he I think he created the word mimetic like the word meme which eventually became meme online that's again controversial in terms of the attribution of the term let's return to this

I was atheist at the time and I was doing all my Dawkins and Hitchens and all the kids were Christian so I was like really getting off to the debates.

Here's one we all saw and know about, whether or not we read it, The God Delusion.

That puts you in the same plateau as... That puts you on a plateau to be identified as one of the Four Horsemen.

Not a phrase that any of us actually... It was bestowed upon you?

So it was Daniel Dannet, Christopher Hitchens. Sam Harris.

And both of them are past. Sam Harris and you.

I've read The Selfish Gene. I've read The Blind Watchmaker. I've read The God Delusion and I've read parts of other books.

I'm afraid it is, yes.

I would like it to be one of the science books, but it is, yes.

Because people are interested in the subject of God.

I've read The God Delusion

I'm afraid it is, yes.

I would like it to be one of the science books, but it is, yes.

I think you're exaggerating the desire of the secular movement to convert everybody to our point of view.

We're not like missionaries knocking on the door and sort of saying have you found Jesus or that sort of thing. Or have you not found Jesus? Yes. Have you lost Jesus yet?

It isn't really like that. It's rather more, we want to convert you not to atheism, but to the view that atheists should not be discriminated against.

When Richard Dawkins writes the God delusion or when Sam Harris writes the end of faith. Neither of these guys would say that these are new ideas that they're presenting.

Richard Dawkins, the author of the mega-selling best book, The God Delusion.

That's when he read Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens.

Did you see this video of Richard Dawkins talking about that recently?

I did just to be clear, he's had that position since the God delusion about a Christian nation.

After Dawkins book, The God Delusion became bestselling 2006, and there was kind of a split in the atheist and humanist skeptics movement about how militant you are in your atheism. You gotta be really militant. It's like, no, you don't.

I read Richard Dawkins when I was 18, 19 years old and found it fascinating and persuasive. I read The God Delusion.
