The Magic of Reality: How We Know What's Really True by Richard Dawkins

5.0

I had the unfortunate experience of being raised strictly religious. But even as a young child, and more so as I got older, I questioned all of it. None of it made sense to me. All the animals in the world fit on a boat? Some guy showed up and fed thousands of people with a couple loaves of bread? Like why am I learning this obviously untrue stuff? I came around to being an atheist years ago but I can tell you this: If I had had this book as a child, I would have known that about myself far sooner.

This book takes incredible things and makes them understandable and then places them side by side with the ridiculous stories we're taught in religion. Even as an adult, it's opened my eyes to things I hadn't considered before. I absolutely intend to get a copy for both of my kids when they're old enough to read it.
