This book changed my lifeThe Goat writes, "Some books have made a huge impact on my life." It's true. It wasn't until the b3ta mods read the Flashman novels that we changed from mild-mannered computer operators into heavily-whiskered copulators, poltroons and all round bastards in a well-known cavalry regiment.
What books have changed the way you think, the way you live, or just gave you a rollicking good time?
Friendly hint: A bit of background rather than just a bunch of book titles would make your stories more readable

Clearly most of those criticising this book have not read it properlyor at all.
Dawkins states repeatedly that he is not claiming to have proof that god does not exist. Indeed the crux of his argument is that science NEVER claims to have final proof of anything (there always exists the possibility that new evidence can falsify previous theories and present new ones), unlike religion which demands that you unconditionally accept it has the absolute and total truth (no matter how ridiculous its claims are).
All he claims is that the probability that there is no god is vastly greater than the probability that there is. Which is bloody obvious.
You might find his tone annoying - who doesn't? but criticise his book on what is actually in it, not what you wish was in it.
