Sounds like ole Dawkins can make up his mind...Oh, the foolishness of mankind.

An explosion from nothing, real sound theory you evolutionist have there.

I don't believe in evolution, but I can tell you this, it sure looks like that TIE evolved from some ugly fabric genes!

You are a wee bit confused. Your pic is of some game show guy named Richard Dawson, and it comes from this website: Game Shows. I hope the remainder of your postings will be more informative.

"But at the same time as I support Darwinism as a scientist, I am a passionate anti-Darwinian when it comes to politics and how we should conduct our human affairs."

Gosh, how ever did meaningless evolution produce such an attitude?

Having demolished its evidential basis

With a subordinate clause, that is.

"I do think - and this is what my second lecture will be about - that there is something quasireligious in science, the sense of awe, the sense of wonder, the sense of almost spiritual response to the universe, which I believe I have and many other scientists have developed to a high degree, but I would resist confusing that with the supernatural."

Nature is quite experienced in shock and awe.

Can't you tell? Richard Dawkins' brain is bigger.

In an essay on the events of Sept. 11, 2001, "A Time to Stand Up," he calls religion "the most inflammatory enemy-labeling device in history,"...

Is he talking about anybody we know?

Here's some material on Richard Dinkins. I expect this pic to appear soon on creationist websites, whenever Richard Dawkins is mentioned. Or the talk show guy's pic. Anything but a true pic. Ain't creation science wonderful?

Ah. Found another pic for the creationists to use: Richard Dworkin. "Creationism is never having to say you're sorry."

One more, then I'll quit. "Creation research" is great stuff. This is Richard Hawkins:

And then there's the Stephen Jay Gould / Steven J. Gold business. The latter is a Marxist political writer. The former is an evolutionary theorist, perhaps a bit lefty in his politics, but who seldom if ever wrote about politics. Some creationists really like to confuse those two for the purposes of dismissing Gould as a communist.
