I do dislike it when people say things like "riven with beguiling contradictions" without actually highlighting one.

It is very frustrating to read that such poorly argued rubbish has been published in a decent magazine.

I look forward to the day when someone comes up with a good argument against the main points of the book; something worth reading.

It's not so much the God Delusion that shows holes in Religion, it's the lack of a coherent argument in reply.

Quotes of Note:

"I don't want to sound callous. I mean, even if I have nothing to offer, that doesn't matter, because that still doesn't mean that what anybody else has to offer therefore has to be true."

Richard Dawkins

"Flowers and elephants are 'for' the same thing as everything else in the living kingdoms, for spreading Duplicate Me programs written in DNA language. Flowers are for spreading copies of instructions for making more flowers. Elephants are for spreading copies of instructions for making more elephants."

Richard Dawkins

"I want science to be taken seriously, because, after all, it's less ephemeral--it has a more eternal aspect than whatever the politics of the day might be, which, of course, gets the lead in the news."

Richard Dawkins

"It ain't the parts of the Bible that I can't understand that bother me, it is the parts that I do understand."

Mark Twain

"…the individual organism is a very important unit in the hierarchy of life…But however unitary and discrete an individual wolf or buffalo may be, the package is temporary and unique. (pp. 216-217)…"Abraham was left in no doubt that the future lay with his seed, not his individuality. God knew his Darwinism."

Richard Dawkins
