Very circular reasoning...and if you press them really hard about any issue about the universe’s (or life’s) origins, they inevitably circle back around to an answer along those lines.

In that film Expelled - No Intelligence Allowed by Ben Stein, I was shocked to hear Richard Dawkins actually admit that "aliens" could be the origin of life on Earth! Uh, Rick, where did the ALIENS come from???

Great film. Also not the only time Dawkins has made a fool of himself while thinking he's saying something "brilliant" and "groundbreaking."

There's a clip of him saying something similar in The Atheist Delusion at a lecture and the students he's speaking to start chuckling; he looks up befuddled and says "I say! What is so funny?"
