Who is Richard Dawkins?

Isn't he the guy who used to host Family Feud?

[georgiagirl_pam]

Richard Dawkins is the “Famous” Evolutionist that loves to call Creationist Christians bad names. He is also the same “Famous” Evolutionist that Ben Stein questioned at the end of his movie.
Dawkins actually said that he didn't know how to explain how something came from nothing. He then went on to say that he believed that it was entirely possible that life began on another planet, evolving by Darwinian processess, and then it was seeded here on Earth by intelligent beings.
Huh?

Who is Richard Dawkins?

He's a guy who supports the desecration of what Catholics hold to be sacred:

PLEASE WRITE IN SUPPORT OF PZ MYERS.
By Richard Dawkins

Readers of yesterday's thread "It's a Goddamned Cracker" will be aware of somebody called Bill Donohue, whose grasp of reality is so poor that he can't tell the difference between a wafer and Jesus. The shrieking hysteria of Donohue and other Roman Catholics over the temporary removal of a communion wafer from a church service epitomises all that is ridiculous in the religious mind.

Today's development is that Donohue is now inciting a witch-hunt against PZ, and is trying to whip up Roman Catholics to write to the President of the University of Minnesota, urging him to sack PZ. We need a massive counter flood of letters in support of PZ Myers. Please write, bearing in mind PZ's two requests:-

1. Please use your own name, not a pseudonym 2. Please take care to write in a good, literate, adult style, in order to increase the contrast between the letters of support and the incoherent, juvenile flaming that will doubtless characterise the letters from the Catholics.

For details of the address to write to, see Pharyngula, here (or PZ's post below) http://scienceblogs.com/pharyngula/2008/07/fight_back_against_bill_donohu.php

Please rally round and show support for PZ, in the face of this hysterical latter-day Grand Inquisitor.

Thank you

Richard

By the way, Julian Huxley (founder of Unesco, president of the Eugenics Society, raving atheist, etc.) was a friend of the Dawkins family. Huxley was Konrad Lorenz's mentor -- Lorenz was the colleague of the guy under which Dawkins got his Ph.D. Worst of all, Richard is not his first name. His first name is Clinton.

Wasn’t he the guy from “Family Feud”? “And the Survey Says......”

:-)

[BenLurkin]

He used to play power forward for the Philadelphia 76ers.

[Tailgunner Joe]

He's a British anti-semite who thinks the US government is occupied by crafty evil Zionist Jews who have tricked us stupid Americans into worshipping their made-up "God." He called 9-11 "the neo-cons' Pearl Harbor." Just another lunatic nazi "9-11 Truther."
