Since the beginning of time, man has tried to lay stress on the thing that there is a creator who is creating everything and religions have stressed it. This is the way people have found peace in the world and also in their personal life. The rules of religion have kept life going. There is also a group that does not believe in God and thinks that the creation of the universe is because of certain scientific reasons which they want to check.
Richard Dawkins has come up with a new kind of thought which is hard to believe but the author has supported everything with arguments and proper details. He advocates the idea that there is God and there is proper evidence about the thing as well but it is the religion actually which has caused several battles to take place.
Most of the battles or wars which took place in this world were because of religion so basically, these religious thoughts have been the cause of war and not of peace. These thoughts of the author are different from the conventional thoughts but the author has kept repeating these thoughts again and again in order to change our perception.
There are other books such as The Selfish Gene and Science in the Soul which also advocate different opinions or thoughts. The author comes up with new things all the time and people like to listen to these new philosophies so that they can check for their validity. There are listeners who may differ from his ideas of Dawkins but he is not asking anyone to follow or obey his rules rather he wants to add to his concept.
