Dr. Dawkins, thank you for giving Conservapedia so much material that supports the notion that the leading spokesmen of evolutionary "science" and atheism are incompetents and charlatans!

No one spanked Dawkins as hard as South Park.

I can’t picture anybody spanking Dawkins any harder than Ben Stein did in his recent movie “Expelled, No Intelligence Allowed”.

One can only imagine the frustration Dawkins recently experienced as he and his gaggle of anti-Pope protestors huddled together in Hyde Park, surrounded by the Catholic faithful kneeling in prayer at the Benediction.

According to London Metropolitan Police estimates, his unmerry band numbered less than 2,000 while the faithful were over 100,000 strong.

I was looking at Dawkins’s book last night at B&N. I flipped to his treatment of Thomas Aquinas. He presents nothing but a parody.

I’ve never been interested in the Creationism vs. Evolution debate because I think it has nothing to say about whether there is a God. Metaphysics does. Dawkins has nothing to say about Metaphysics.

Who wrote this stuff? That's a really awful article, childish and badly written! I counted twenty times regard, regards, regarding,.......

One aspect of Dawkins’ writing that had glaring inconsistencies with the beliefs of his evolutionary apostles, is that competition for available resources is a critical part of the evolutionary meme. If that’s so, why are the secular leftists so fzazzled that “life isn’t fair” and that self-esteem matters more than effort & achievement?

“fzazzled:= frazzled, in case of confusion! Spelling police: BEGONE!!!

"I’ve never been interested in the Creationism vs. Evolution debate because I think it has nothing to say about whether there is a God. Metaphysics does. Dawkins has nothing to say about Metaphysics."

Oh, he attempts metaphysics and fails miserably. His whole approach is not a defense of atheism but an angry polemic against deism. But even in this he fails. His understanding of philosophy (metaphysics, epistemology and ethics) is incredibly weak and he clearly doesn't even understand the basics of classical logic. He repeatedly draws conclusions that just don't logically follow from the premises he states. It's often quite embarrassing. No wonder he refuses to debate William Lane Craig - it would be ugly.
