I ordered this book last week and it came in today. After I read it I'll post my opinion.

I guarantee this book will be better because it's based on actual facts and evidence:

But if you like to read fiction then you'll probably like the book you just bought. There's nothing wrong with fiction though... it's fun reading.

Richard Dawkins, good stuff. I need to pick that up also. Actually, Ive never read The Selfish Gene. Should probably start there.

Intelligent design...

Religion has no place in scientific theory. In religion faith supports truth. In science evidence supports truth. Religious faith cannot be changed. What is deemed right is right and anything that says or proves otherwise is wrong. No matter what evidence is presented. Science takes a different approach. A hypothesis is created. It is then challenged based off evidence. What may be thought of as true today may not be true tomorrow. But this change is done through progress. It changes and thats what makes it so different. In fact, when change does come it is commended. Scientific theory is advanced and our knowledge has expanded.

Applying the rules of evidence administered in courts of justice

In a court case eye witness testimony plays an important role.
Although, I'm not sure it holds enough weight to explain even the simplest of mysteries dealing with nature. Especially when it comes to why or how we are here.

By the way The God Delusion is only a worthwhile read if you have an interest in religion. It grants religion the opportunity to be tested through scientific theory. The results are surprising.

It's not fact either, it's faith.

NPR was having an interview with the author of the book this morning, I caught a few minutes of it, he sounded like he had some interesting argumetns.
