→Disprove God?
I don't think the headline is correct. He does not try to "disprove" God, he discusses why a supernatural creator almost certainly does not exist. He never contends that he is disproving God. --[[User:AtheistJohn|AtheistJohn]] 09:33, 23 April 2008 (EDT)

::No, not the same thing. Good point, AtheistJohn. Dawkins is very careful to say that he offers no proof that god does not exist. He only says that the existence of a god or gods is extremely unlikely. I hesitate to change the opening sentence of the article (I suspect it would be instantly reverted!), but I propose "The God Delusion is a book by the atheist Richard Dawkins, in which he attempts to prove that the existence of God is extremely unlikely."
