===Summary===
Most of Richard Dawkins' books repetitively repeat the same mantra, that [[evolution]] is true, but don't offer any real evidence. His books are an excellent example of the [[circular reasoning]] used by evolutionists, in that time and time again Dawkins' states that ''evolution is true because he says it's true''.
