What have Christians been saying about 'The God Delusion' by Richard Dawkins?

Answer 1

Not much. Well, there was one review on YouTube...

Here it is: http://youtube.com/watch?v=I9eu_6C3bHw

Answer 2

1) That Dawkins does not demonstrate that theism is a belief subject to the scientific method
2) That Dawkins knowingly fabricates information in some of the court cases that he cites.
3) That Dawkins is skilled in his own field, but seems to have a lot of trouble with philosophy.
4) In refuting arguments for the existence of God, Dawkins employs the Straw Man fallacy by choosing weak arguments that do not reflect the actual arguments of Christian philosophers.
5) That Dawkins resorts to mockery in an attempt to refute the Ontological Argument, admits that it is difficult to locate the error in logic, admits that Bertrand Russel even accepted the validity of the argument at one time, and admits that it must be a paradox because he doesn't agree with the conclusion! He then cites an example where he tried to use the ontological argument to prove that pigs can fly, but failed when a group of philosophers refuted his argument using modal logic. What he failed to mention is that modal logic actually supports the Ontological Argument.
6) Even many atheist philosophers have criticized Dawkins' book, insisting that he should stick to biology and stay out of the philosophy section.
7) Dawkins' treatment of history is pitifully one-sided, and does not address the fact that nearly 200 times more people have been killed in the name of atheism than in the name of Christianity.
8) Dawkins follows his atheist predecessors in criticizing the democratic process, simply because theists represent the popular majority.

Answer 3

Fabricated information by a radically hateful atheist. Dawkins thinks he is a god of all knowledge. He is only a poor pathetic biologist, not even a palaentologist like Gould and not even a physicist. His arguments are not even very scientific because he twists them liberally to appear scientific when in reality they are not. Socrates would take his logic apart and throw it to the British birds, the only other stuff he's written a book on.

Answer 4

"He's the devil".
"God will forgive if he asks, you know."
"I have a great idea! Lets write our own book called The Atheist Delusion."
And the all time classic: "Well there aren't atheists in fox holes".

Answer 5

Richard Dawkins, like every evolutionist and atheists, denies design. Only a person who is willfully blind would deny design. It's all around you. How could anyone not see it.
You look at bats. They do not fly by sight. They can barely see in the day but they sleep in the day. They are nocturnal creatures. They do all their activities at night and at night they are blind. They fly by means of sonar. They send out sound waves through their nose as they are flying. If those sound waves bounce off something and come back at them, they pick them up and know that they are heading toward something and need to veer in a different direction. Somehow they know how fast they are flying and they know that sound travels at 723 MPH and as they fly they continue to send out sound waves so they continue to get updated information. Given enough info(and continued updated info) a mathematician could sit down with a pencil and paper and some calculus equations and figure out how far the bat was from the object and with the right info could even figure out if the object the bat is heading toward is stationary or moving toward the bat or away from it. But that would take time and if the bat took that much time he’d be flying into trees and telephone poles other things. We have developed computers that can do that in a second. That's what sonar is all about. The bat has a computer in his head that can figure that info out in a nanosecond. It knows what it is heading for without being able to physically see. It's flying by instruments(as pilots would say). Do you really think that the sonar equipment that is in the bats head just came about by random chance(read....luck) natural processes? You do if you're an atheist.
The universe obeys certain rules-----laws to which all things must adhere. These laws are precise and many of them are mathematical in nature. Natural laws are hierarchical in nature; secondary laws of nature are based upon primary laws of nature, which have to be just exactly right in order for our universe to be possible. There are constants(gravitational and cosmological and others) in our universe which must be exact within infinitesmal parameters in order for life to exist(that’s called the anthropic principle). But, where did these laws and constants come from and why do they exist? If the universe were merely the accidental by-product of a big bang, then why should it obey orderly principles----or any principles at all for that matter? Since when does order come out of an explosion? Chaos comes out of an explosion. By the way, what, exactly, did explode? There was no matter there to explode before the big bang since the big bang is the start of all matter and energy as well as the 4 dimensions(3 dimensions of space and one dimention of time). The atheist cannot account for these laws of nature(even though he agrees that they must exist), for such laws are inconsistent with naturalism. Yet, they are perfectly consistent with the bible. We expect the universe to be organized in a logical, orderly fashion and to obey uniform laws because the universe has a creator God who is logical and has imposed order on His universe(Genesis 1:1).
In your brain there are 100 billion neurons. Each one of those neurons(remember, there's 100 billion of them) is connected to 1000 other neurons. That comes out to 100 trillion connections in your brain. These connections send electronic signals(and you can measure the electricity) from one place to another. If part of the brain is damaged and you lose some function that is controlled by that part of the brain, the brain can actually re-wire itself and let other neurons in the undamaged part of the brain take over so that you can get back that function. That's only the connections in the brain, not the rest of the body.
Our bodies also have tons of information in the DNA. You have enough information in your DNA to fill encyclopedia sized books stacked from here to the moon and back 500 times. Do you really think that came about by just random chance........kind of like a monkey typing out the works of Shakespear just by randomly plucking away at the keys?

You need to step back and look at the big picture of what is being claimed by evolution, namely, that the unbelieveable complexity of the human brain(not to mention the rest of the body) is nothing more than re-arranged pond scum. It’s pond scum from the original prebiotic soup re-arranged over billions of years into 100 trillion connections in the brain by luck…..just random chance.
Anyone who could look at the universe and say there is no design just the appearance of design(as Dawkins does) is not someone I take seriously.

Answer 6

Many of them don't even want to think about it, let alone read it.

Answer 7

They are infected by the virus "faith" anyway

Answer 8

"That's just a fancy name for the Satanic bible"
