The Greatest Show on Earth by Richard Dawkins

In 2008, a Gallup poll showed that 44% of Americans believed God had created man is his present form within the last 10,000 years. In a PewForum poll in the same year, 42% believed that all life on earth has existed in its present form since the beginning of time. The greatest Show on Earth is a stunning counterattack on advocates of “Intelligent Design”, explaing the evidence for evolution while exposing the absurdities of the creationist “argument”. Dawkins sifts through rich layers of scientific evidence to make the airtight case that “we find ourselves perched on one tiny twig in the midst of a blossoming and flourishing tree of life and it is no accident, but the direct consequence of evolution by non-random selection.”
