Richard Dawkins is a brilliant, brilliant biologist and
writer about biology, but when it comes to religion
his head is so far up his ass it's sticking out his mouth.
He simply does not understand what he criticizes, any
more than seven-day creationists understand the
overwhelming evidence for the "neo-Darwinian synthesis"
(but feel free to analyze and criticize it). As "brights"
go, he's pretty dim.
