(snip stuff I don’t care about)

It’s probably more philosophy than science, as Dawkins himself accepted in his book “The Selfish Gene”.


It isn’t science at all, is what it is.

I read Dawkins post sept 11 column, and I liked it. I suppose I must be a howling anti-theist bigot too. Imagine thinking that sept 11th was anything to do with religion. Perish the thought!


So excellent: when he says that “To fill a world with religion, or religions of the Abrahamic kind, is like littering the streets with loaded guns. Do not be surprised if they are used. ” you are comfortable with saying that Judaism is a loaded gun, waiting to be used? And when he says that the world would be better off without religion, you are cool with that context to his statement? Well, I AM glad you think so poorly of religion. Particularly, I am glad you are so plain about it.

Now this next bit is funny: you quote mine: I say “By these standards, plus the fact that he’s a howling antitheist bigot (did you read his post Sept 11 column?) he’s a pathological liar too. and then later go on to explicitkly say that I DON’T think dawkins is a pathological liar (I note you snipped that out) and you reduce it too:


he’s a pathological liar too.
Examples of his pathological lies, please.

This is why I enjoy these exchanges. Here in this thread, you act like the stereotypical creationist, down to the quote mining.


Maybe something to do with your evident passion for obfuscating the connection between ID and creationism,

LOL! I’m not obfuscating anything: I’m saying thery aren’t identical. That’s all. My doctrine is wrong, so you must cotrrect! It is really very funmny.

and your strange and -strangely comitted- ‘defence’ of Behe as a mere innocent idiot in all of this, a claim which as has been shown, simply doesn’t bear out.


Who said innocent? I’ve said: he’s intellectually dishonest. That doesn’t make him a pathological liar.

Add to that your attempts to misrepresent how scientists like Dawkins are viewed within the biological community.


Where? Because I simply don’t accept your say so? (snip vacuity)
