Dawkins - The Greatest Show on Earth

---

Do you think he will get through to his stated target audience?

---

No

quote:

Will creationists (or "history-deniers" as he calls them) read this book?

---

Some will, but they won't be convinced

---

Will those who are surrounded by "history-deniers" be better prepared as a result of this book?

---

A little. It's not as good as Jerry Coyne's 'Why Evolution is True'.

quote:

---

Or will it simply and inevitably be a case of preaching to the converted (I have my copy as yet unread)?

Largely, but I have to say I was a little bit disappointed with the book. There are some interesting experiments I learned about from it but in many areas I didn't learn that much from it - which I certainly did from 'Why Evolution is True'.He can't help insulting creationists - which is not exactly going to help meet his stated obhective of changing their minds.
