Book
Outgrowing God : a beginner's guide / Richard Dawkins.
Summary:
In twelve fiercely funny, mind-expanding chapters, Richard Dawkins explains how the natural world arose without a designer - the improbability and beauty of the "bottom-up programming" that engineers an embryo or a flock of starlings - and challenges head-on some of the most basic assumptions made by the world's religions. Dissecting everything from Abraham's abuse of Isaac to the construction of a snowflake, this book is a concise, provocative guide to thinking for yourself.
