Would you consider Dawkins an extremist?

I think it would also help the discussion if you would define what you mean by the theory of evolution.

Do your own homework.

I think it would also help the discussion if you would define what you mean by the theory of evolution.

Here is a very good definition:

"Biological evolution ... is change in the properties of populations of organisms that transcend the lifetime of a single individual. The ontogeny of an individual is not considered evolution; individual organisms do not evolve. The changes in populations that are considered evolutionary are those that are inheritable via the genetic material from one generation to the next. Biological evolution may be slight or substantial; it embraces everything from slight changes in the proportion of different alleles within a population (such as those determining blood types) to the successive alterations that led from the earliest protoorganism to snails, bees, giraffes, and dandelions."
