God Delusion or Dawkin's Delusion

The present article is a description of a contrast between the views of two famous figures in the sphere of theology and atheism. One of these two, i.e. Richard Dawkins, attempts, in his book entitled The God Delusion, to use all his expertise in evolutionary biology in arguing for atheism. Conversely, Alister McGrath attempts, by writing his book entitled Dawkin’s Delusion, to fairly review that book and show the readers that empirical sciences, and specially the theory of evolution, are not inconsistent with theism. It is worth mentioning that both of these figures have worked in Oxford and both have experienced atheism. The difference between them is that the former is stilling insisting on his atheism as the most famous atheist in the world, while the latter, in spite of his expertise in empirical sciences, has given up atheism to become a vigorous defender of theism.
