我们为何而生,又为何要死?上帝真的存在吗?在进化生物学家、畅销书作家道金斯看来,相信超自然事物的存在就是放弃自己的好奇心;宗教让人止步于似是而非的答案,是在摧残人的童年。
道金斯致力于向公众传播科学,成就斐然。书中,道金斯再度向宗教发问,在纵论世界各文明的各种信仰和传说的共性、特性后,他以基督教和《圣经》为例,逐步揭示宗教和神话的起源,质疑宗教经典的客观性和真实性,揭露了宗教鼓吹的观念的虚伪性,强调人不依赖宗教、信仰、传说,也可以建立道德体系、成就自我。
接下来,道金斯以生物进化这一科学事实,向年轻人,尤其是青少年讲述宗教之不可能以及科学之真实。道金斯用极为浅显的语言介绍了进化论,并将之与生物学领域新成果结合,从这一角度继续对虚伪的宗教宣传、神创论进行批驳,鼓励读者,特别是青少年用科学精神看待世界,勇于质疑,敢于实验。
