First pages and I'm sad.

The God Delusion opens with a beautiful story of how an Anglican priest found his faith as a boy. Then Dawkins goes downhill and references a Carl Sagan quote. Actually I think Catholicism does stress the magnificense of the universe. A common meditation is to think of the cosmos, how amazing it is, its mysteries and secrets and to then ponder how great was the Creator of such a marvel. Sagan builds a straw man and Dawkins gives it air. It makes me sad.
