Sifting through rich layers of scientific evidence, Dawkins' "The Greatest Show on Earth" is a stunning counterattack on advocates of "Intelligent Design," explaining the evidence for evolution while exposing the absurdities of the creationist "argument."

Dawkins always brilliantly defends evolution . He calims to be writinig for creationists, but any that picked the book up would probably soon desist due to the anger directed at them. It is not necessary to tear down the other side if you have all the evidence on your side. I think he should let it stand for itself.I understand ,however , that the worry is that people are being kept from learning about evolution, which is beautiful in and of itself. What greater argument is needed for peace and conservation than the fact that we, and by we I mean not just all people but all living things, are all related. ( )

A challenging read. Probably should have not read it at the same time as another book. Definitely one I'll go back and read again. ( )

All stuff in here that I have for the most part, come across before, but presented in some novel ways and mercilessly unforgiving to creationism. The best titbit I found was a brilliantly elegant description of cell differentiation during division. Now I get it! ( )

Delivered with wit and clarity, Dawkins shares the facts of evolution in an easy-to-follow format that’s perfect for anyone looking to learn the basics of how we (and the rest of life) came to be. While he tackles a few common misconceptions and creationist arguments, Dawkins stays focused on the evidence we have and why we know evolution to be true. Turns out, life really is the greatest show on earth. ( )

This brings me to the intellectual flaw, or maybe it’s a fault just of tone, in Dawkins’s otherwise eloquent paean to evolution: he has let himself slip into being as dogmatic as his opponents. He has become the Savonarola of science, condemning the doubters of evolution as “history-­deniers” who are “worse than ignorant” and “deluded to the point of perversity.” This is not the language of science, or civility. Creationists insist evolution is only a theory, Dawkins that it’s only a fact. Neither claim is correct.
 
The Greatest Show on Earth is Dawkins on top form: unambiguous, beautifully argued, with prose flowing like quicksilver.

Though he looses a shock-and-awe flurry of evidentiary darts (natural selection, fossil records, molecular biology, and much more), he also mutes some of the shriller tendencies that have unhinged—or at least made hectoring and unlovely—his previous works. The result is a sweeping, wryly joyous case for rationality, empiricism, and no God on this green Earth.

Preface
The evidence for evolution grows by the day, and has never been stronger. At the same time, paradoxically, ill-informed opposition is also stronger than I can remember. This book is my personal summary of the evidence that the 'theory' of evolution is actually a fact—as incontrovertible a fact as any in science.
Imagine that you are a teacher of Roman history and the Latin language, anxious to impart your enthusiasm for the ancient world—for the elegiacs of Ovid and the odes of Horace, the sinewy economy of Latin grammar as exhibited in the oratory of Cicero, the strategic niceties of the Punic Wars, the generalship of Julius Caesar and the voluptuous excesses of the later emperors.
