1. The Dawkins Confusion: Naturalism ad absurdum

I really wish these foolish Christian essayists would read and listen to the quote more carefully. The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all of fiction. One can not make an enemy out of something for which he has no belief. Alvin Plantinga is clearly one of those Christians who refused to believe people who do not believe in a god actually exists. Either that, or he does not care how he misrepresents. Right there, in the opening paragraph, you can tell there is little substance to be had in this essay. Need I go on?

I might as well. Most of the rest of this essay talks about how things that act like machines must really be machines, "organized complexity" construed to be "specified complexity"... all bunch of pseudo-scientific dribble that, once again, clearly exposed Intelligent Design for old fashioned Evangelical Christian Creationism. This is not so much an attempt to disprove atheism as it is an argument for Intelligent Design that argues evolution leads to atheism.

What a nincompoop.
