Dawkins engages in ad hominum argument by questioning the academic credentials of people who disagree with himself. The only thing that should be discussed is whether their ideas are true or false.

Dawkins demolishes Wise on a far more basic point than Wise's impeccable education. Wise has simply chosen to ignore the evidence. This is unsupportable if you're going to call yourself a scientist. That Dawkins so handily skewers him for doing the indefensible points up why most creationists are too clever to be honest.

It leads me to believe that the polar opposite of a man with faith is one who absolutely must be right at all costs.

Its the arrogance of many modernist evolutionists (I believe somewhat in evolution myself, just not the implications behind it, or the snobbish obnoxiousness of its disciples) that is oozing out. Many evolution freaks do look down with a sort of contemptuous pity on those of us who believe in "The sugar daddy in the sky."
Its tough having all the answers and being smarter than everyone else in the universe (or multiverse, as some may believe). Just wait until they get the chance to lecture Jesus and Yawheh!

dawkins demonstrates a intolerence in faith, yet probably has never seen a nuetrino and believes in them. So faith has a place in science too.
