One bit from this interview that really struck a chord with me was when, in response to the interviewer's thought re since science can't explain what happened before the big bang, what's wrong with believing gawd did it, Dawkins replied with something along the lines of - just because science can't (yet) explain everything doesn't mean that it is logical to postulate a "giant human" created the universe.

I just love that phrase "giant human"...I have before thought of believers' gawd as a sort of anthropomorphic personification or projection...but really that is just the same as a giant invisible mysterious human (or emotionally unstable toddler as in the old testament) in the sky.
