this is in reply to 'beer good'. By the way I liked many of your ideas. Your last question, what would be 'certain proof'. Fortunately it's something that we will never have. We need our brain and our emotions to be continually stimulated by that uncertainty. Really it's an imponderable...

Thank you MonkeyCatcher for further explaining your point. But that's what I was saying as well, it's the 'belief', either in the existence or non existence of God, that gives us the need to stay alive. Possible extinction was only in case of 'certain proof'.

There is a lot of speculation about who's right and who's wrong about the existence of God. But the matter is really a simple one: We were meant NOT TO KNOW I think that if we were meant to know we would already know either way. Not knowing if there is a God or not it's imperative for...

The book enlightens the reader and gives alternatives to the religious beliefs. Those who insist Dawkins is going overboard in exluding faith are misunderstanding his message. It is religion that excludes alternatives while Dawkins puts the matter to the question. I have to agree with Dawkins...

so glad I have found a friendly looking forum like this one and it's just so happens that I just read the book of the month posted on this site and would love to go and read what other readers have to say!:)
