I had to stop reading this book about half way through. I am not very impressed by anything except Dawkins' knowledge of the Darwinian Theory, and his counterexamples exposing clearly fallacious logic of the devout believer. However, he runs close most of the time of including higher level religion and phenomenological events in the simplistic realm of neuronal activity. He should, himself, know that logically, we cannot conclude that the human experience is solely a product of neuronal activity. While he may subscribe to such a view, there is nothing logical about it. His numbers games saying that things are "statistically improbable" don't hold much water for me since at this point in time, microprocessors are approaching the limit imposed by Heisenberg's uncertainty princinple. What this means to me then is that no matter how improbable, at some level of development, the improbably becomes the practical.
