A Devil's Chaplain: Reflections on Hope, Lies, Science, and Love ialah buku karangan terpilih tahun 2003 dan tulisan lain oleh Richard Dawkins. Diterbitkan lima tahun selepas buku Dawkins sebelumnya Unweaving the Rainbow, buku ini mengandungi karangan yang merangkumi mata pelajaran termasuk pseudosains, determinisme genetik, ilmu meme, keganasan, agama dan ciptaanisme. Bahagian buku ini dikhaskan untuk musuh akhir Dawkins, Stephen Jay Gould.
Judul buku ini merujuk kepada kutipan Charles Darwin, dalam surat kepada JD Hooker bertarikh 13 Julai 1856, yang dibuat merujuk pada kurangnya kepercayaan Darwin tentang bagaimana "dunia yang sempurna" dirancang oleh Tuhan (dan rujukan kepada Pendeta Robert Taylor): "Apa buku yang mungkin ditulis oleh pendeta syaitan mengenai karya alam yang kikuk, boros, rendah dan mengerikan!"[1][2][3]
Rujukan
- ^ This was written in 1856 as Darwin worked towards the publication of his theory, and has been related to his memories of his time at university when an "Infidel home missionary tour" by the Reverend Robert Taylor warned Darwin of the dangers of dissent from church doctrine. While Taylor was subsequently nicknamed "the devil's chaplain," the term goes back further, and Geoffrey Chaucer has his Parson say "Flatereres been the develes chapelleyns, that syngen evere placebo" in a reference to Placebo (at funeral)."
