Dick in the Dock Part. 2: The preface.

The preface is pretty bad, but then, my hopes were not high. I would recommend that if Prof. Dawkins wishes the 95% of Americans, whose acceptance he seems to covet so, to think he is anything but a pompous bag of fish and chips, he should avoid fraises like "intellectual elite". However, he does make one important statement in the preface, he defines one of the key elements in his title proposition. He defines delusion as "a false belief, held in the presence of contrary evidence." So if Prof. Dawkins is to earn his title, he must in this book demonstrate that "God" (yet to be defined) falls into this category, we will see.
