The God Delusion

[Samson]

OKay then, how about "you need to be a rocket scientist to build a rocket that will be able to get to the moon, and back"

I see you already forgot what I said about this sentence……..”Depends on the subject/topic at hand”…Hence the reason I stated something as simple as “Oil Change”. If I would have said Doctor you would have had a point.
You are putting too much credit into religion, and I get that from your comment here: Religion is a too important aspect of human behavior to be dismissed in such a weak book as the GD.
You are treating it is if it was as complicated as Rocket Science, when it fact it is not.

The point that I was making is that this is not Dawkins' field of expertise and the GD shows it. There are much better books out there that really can teach us a lot about religion and religious belief, both from an athiest and theist perspective, or neutral, which is the stance I try to take.

You are correct, there are many wonderful books out there that can teach and show us different examples of religion and faith from across the board. I’ve been alive long enough to read many books on the subject, as well as sharing as many as possible with my children over the years, and I did not see where Dawkins was lacking in comparison.

You can't see, hear, touch, taste or smell a lot of things, we're designed specifically to have very narrow sensory ranges, it's a survival advantage.....i remember that was written in the GD (it's been a while since I read it though, but I do recall that passage on the savannah and how we're adapted to only a specific range of sensory input)

I was using our senses to simply show that we can understand something simply by using them.

I'd sort of agree with that, but warped is no the right word, lack of information would be more suitable.

I would say pure ignorance would be better in this case.
