Priase for the Previous Edition "Wielding evolutionary arguments and carefully chosen metaphors like sharp swords, Richard Dawkins has emerged over three decades as this generation's most aggressive promoter of atheism. In his view, science, and science alone, provides the only rock worth standing on. In this remarkable book, Alister McGrath challenges Dawkins on the very ground he holds most sacred ? rational argument ? and McGrath disarms the master. It becomes readily apparent that Dawkins has aimed his attack at a naive version of faith that most serious believers would not recognize. After reading this carefully constructed and eloquently written book, Dawkins? choice of atheism emerges as the most irrational of the available choices about God's existence." Francis Collins, Director of the Human Genome Project ?In this tour'de'force Alister McGrath approaches the edifice of self'confident, breezy atheism so effectively promoted by Richard Dawkins, and by deft dissection and argument reveals the shallowness, special'pleading and inconsistencies of his world'picture. Here is a book which helps to rejoin the magnificence of science to the magnificence of God's good Creation.' Simon Conway Morris, Professor of Evolutionary Palaeobiology, Cambridge University ?Here Alister McGrath announces what every Darwinian Fundamentalist needs to hear: that science is and always has been a cultural practice that is provisional, fallible, and socially shaped ? an enterprise to be cultivated and fostered, but hardly worshipped or idolised. A devastating critique.' David N. Livingstone, Professor of Geography and Intellectual History, Queen's University, Belfast
