Dawkins - dazzling but dishonest
Posted by Semper on 26 October 2006
Richard Dawkins is a fanatic anti-supernaturalist anti-religionist who writes clever books. I suspect he is playing to his own gallery of fans rather than seriously discussing with anyone but here is a pretty fair minded review of his latest diatribe

Hi Semper
Just read the review of Dawkins book. Certainly seems balanced. Have you read the book?
Also, have you read anything by the reviewer apart from this review?
When he talks about the creationists, any idea what his problem with them is?

I have read an older book by Dawkins on Natural Selection but not this one which is much more anti-religion apparently.
As for Creationists, they have a habit of pointing out flaws in the natural selection theory or other anomallies and leaping from there to a 6 day (144 hour) universe making exercise backed by bogus theories. The false “Either/Or” which both they and Dawkins play with is simultaneously bogus intellectually and a kind of blinkered rationalism.
Like George Bush saying “You are either with us or against us.”
