I particularly liked this quote:
Couldn't have put it better myself...Einstein would have regarded you as a fanatical atheist whose intolerance is of the same kind as that of the religious fanatics to whom you are so opposed.

Not really convinced. I think that maybe he just doesn't like his (Dawkins') style.Grahame Gardner wrote:He may have once been on Dawkin's side, but he definitely seems to have become somewhat disillusioned. Possibly he's a religious man, and Dawkin's comments in 'The God Delusion' have pissed him off? >See here.<
It's worth reading the whole thing. Explains a lot.Though I hold a naturalistic world view, do not share the beliefs of any organized religion, and have been a long-time fan and admirer of Richard Dawkins’s science writing, I was surprised and disappointed with his book on atheism, The God Delusion. It is an ill-conceived and poorly researched polemic against religion, primarily Christianity, that does no credit to Richard Dawkins or atheism in general. Instead, the book showcases an accomplished science writer lowering himself to the level of a TV “shock-jock,†exhibiting the same lack of concern for accuracy, and the same simplistic, narrow-minded orientation.
Prior to a planned visit by Dawkins to InvernessA leading figure in the Free Church of Scotland has criticised the organisers of a talk by controversial scientist Richard Dawkins.
Author and pastor David Robertson said.........most of the arguments (are)... "sixth form schoolboy variety".
Messages posted on the forum section of the University of Oxford biologist's official website have welcomed his decision to come to the Highlands.
One message described the area as Scotland's Bible belt.
This blog from a professional astrologer...Dawkins exactly fits the description of a pseudo-sceptic, defined by sociologist Marcello Truzzi back in 1987
Dawkins obviously hasn't got the time to, you know, do anything as facile as study the subject. The full interview with the astrologer Neil Spencer that was used for that programme has found its way onto the web. It was cannibalised and edited: the purpose of the programme was not to shine light on astrology, but to bolster Dawkins argument that astrology is charlatanry.
From The Independent newspaper websiteProfessor Richard Dawkins sparked a Twitter backlash by claiming Muslims have been awarded fewer Nobel Prizes than Trinity College, Cambridge, adding: "They did great things in the Middle Ages, though".
