Dawkins said: "There is no refutation of Darwinian evolution in existence. If a refutation ever were to come about, it would come from a scientist, and not an idiot.

It takes one to know one......

*Dawkins* is synonymous with *idiot*.

The existence of Dawkins proves that fairies exist.

"Dan Dennett, the U.S. philosopher said it was the best idea anyone ever had. It explains the whole of life, the diversity, the beauty of life, above all the illusion of design.

I'd just love to know what solid, incontrovertible, scientific reason Dennett and Dawkins have to justify their statements that the universe and life just show the *illusion of design*? How do they know that it's just an illusion? What great insight or revelation revealed that to them?

Dennett and Dawkins have the illusion of being intelligent.

A man came to Earth claiming to be God. During His life, He was seen performing acts that only God could perform. He healed the sick, lame, deformed and blind by the power of His will, both by touch and at a distance; He displayed complete control over wind, waves, and weather; He multiplied matter; He walked on water; He transmuted one substance into another; He predicted future events with 100% accuracy; He passed through hostile crowds in a mysterious manner; He was bodily transfigured into a godlike form; He raised the dead; and, after His own murder, He Himself returned from the dead, after which He was was seen to pass through closed doors and walls, cook and eat food, and ascend into the sky, each act in front of eyewitnesses.

These facts are all part of the historical record.

He said, “Hunches aren’t interesting, hunches aren’t valuable.”

The then said, “Darwin had a hunch.”

And he’s calling someone else an idiot? The man talks in circles.


He also come across as a very bitter and angry person. He must be a joy to be around.

Unfortunately, a lot of the people arguing against the atheist position, while not idiots, are waaaaay out of their league.

Climate scientists and evolutionary scientists are two sides of the same corrupt coin, both being influenced by money in not-so-good ways.

Both rely on fraudulent data and evidence, both hold monopolies on their respective peer-review processes and journals, both are world views masquerading as “science” to dupe the public out of research funding, and both have a$$clowns like Gore and Dawkins saying their respective “sciences” are “settled” by a “vast majority of scientists” and calling people on the other side “flat-earthers” and “idiots” for not buying the junk they’re pushing.

Dawkins, like Gore, is nothing more than a money-grubbing politician, who makes his living peddling this junk, and their cult-like followers and “true believers” are nothing more than fools for buying it.

“The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness, since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them.

For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities – his eternal power and divine nature – have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse.

For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened.

Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles. Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator “ Roman’s 1:18-32

Mr. Dawkins prefers to believe that life began out of nothing...just magically appeared. There was no primordial soup before life, there was only inorganic matter, so don’t bother me with that crap. Mr. Dawkins simply does not understand the concept of billions of people knowing God for many millennium. He does not understand that the only purely exact science is conceptual, it is in our minds. From where do our thoughts come from? Gee, maybe they are simply electrical/chemical responses to stimuli...really Dawkins, get a life and get some intelligence that means something.

You can't prove there's no God, no fairies, no leprechauns, or that Thor or Apollo don't exist ...

More proof that atheism itself is a faith. If these things cannot be proven, then how can anyone claim with "scientific certainty" that they don't exist?

There’s no proof of evolution, either.

There's got to be a positive reason to think that fairies exist.

I rest my case.

Although an "evolutionist," I'm no supporter of Dawkins. He's philosophically wrong (and invidious) in inferring and claiming that science supports atheism.

However, much to my surprise, you appear to be a supporter of Dawkins, seeing as how you are here highlighting a claim where Dawkins is indubitably correct, and even restrained in his language. Ray "Banana Man" Comfort certainly is an idiot.

(Heck. I knew bananas were domesticated, and what wild bananas looked like, back when I was nine years old, just from watching nature films and kids' science books and such. And here are two adults, having specifically chosen the subject as a lecture topic to make a point, and they haven't a friggin' clue. THAT takes good, old fashioned, drooling at the mouth, idiocy all right.)

Where is Mr. Dawkins ‘positive’ evidence that one type of animal can ‘Evolve’ into another?

Did Sandy Bergler sneak that out of the National Archives in his pants also?

However, its good to see that Mr. Dawkins admits that it is a waste of time to try to disprove God.

Dawkins is an idiot on religion. So at worst, they’re even.

Dawkin’s is both a bigot and a statist who would have the state take your children from you if he could for introducing them to your faith. I would say that makes him the idiot. Others may get different mileage but if they do I’d suggest a carburetor overhaul.

This is what the evolution business is all about.

All about what? Hurling childish insults and expressing a complete lack of comprehension/command of over 3000 years of theological thought?

If Dawkins can be thought of as an anti-theist Jihadist, I wonder if there are there a lot of "moderate" anti-theists out there who cringe at his public pronouncements and wish that he would shut his yap.
