:-) Wow. This is hysterical and wildly inaccurate. Dawkins has numerous academic papers. 'The Selfish Gene' (which was praised by W D Hamilton--one the great biologists of our times) is a great introduction to genetics, a wonderful and proper science.



Science is not absolute!

He is making science (and many times his personal opinion, that is: his personal theories) an absolute fact.

It doesn't matter how many real science he's providing: if you take 90% of truth, and mix in 10% of lies, then the result can't be true...

He claims that evolution (a statistically impossible theory) has to be taken as a fact, "forgetting" that one of his colleagues, and many others, already have proven it wrong.

It's not important what I think now, or what you think now, future will show! The current science might be blind -- remember, it's not absolute -- as it already happened many times in history...


> a statistically impossible theory

Oh, you're one of those types.

Well, as much as I respect you're right to believe these things (irrationally or not) it's worth saying you will find little interest in them here.
