Unlike silly bible stories there is evidence for evolution and Dawkins lays it all out.
Gotta second this. I've read it once already and it's on my short list for a re-read in the near future!
That, and "Why Evolution is True" by Jerry Coyne. Both are very well written. Dawkins' is a little more academic and more of a polemic, Coyne's is likely the most succinct counter-apologetic I've read.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
