Knowing & Defending Your

Catholic Faith 

(Apologetics) 

Responding To Dawkins

For those of you who have read Dawkins' book, "The God Delusion", you may want to have a look at one of these books to recover your perspective (Dawkins is exptreamly anti-catholic and his arguments don't actually hold much water when held up to scrutiny).

• "The Dawkins Delusion" - Alister McGrath (goes for the jugular).
• "Deluded by Dawkins" - Andrew Wilson (goes for the jugular).
• "Is God a Delusion" - Nicky Gumbel (typically firm but fair!).
• "The Language of God" - Francis Collins (deals with the broader issues of the debate with only well-aimed swipes at Dawkins).
• The recent BBC2 programme "Did Darwin Kill God?" (he didn't by the way!) Tue 31 Mar 2009 7pm was presented by Conor Cunningham was brilliant but has a go at fundamentalists on both sides of the debate.

I hope you find this helpful.
