@FBM,
and Jerry Coyne, SCott Atran, and Lee Smolin. They are all douche bags on whose side I happen to be. It gets very tiresome though, having to begin any public lecture Q/A or a debate "one down" by being accused "why do you hate Christianity?"
Most people believe what they hear when its said with passion.
Maybe Dawkins and Smolin and the rest have been totally spent and wrung dry so they dont want to take any prisoners any more> I really dont know , but its hard to explain the obvious views of science to people who are pissed off at you when you come in the door.
Ive never said that Dawkins is wrong about his views on bio and evolution. His methods and his message, however, must be separated.
However, the Dawkins of today IS just really in it as a means to an income an hes been very successful at amassing a hundred million or more by being an irascible intellectual.
