Bowral,

"dawkins will happily take on your george pells etc

but refuses on every occasion to take on actually someone who can defend their beiefs outside of tradition

he refuses to take on a creation scientist"

Yup. He's been running away from Lane-Craig like a scared little girl for years. I don't blame him, at least he's smart enough to know when to avoid a right royal smashing. :)


AuCu,


"The Dawkins Delusion is a light-weight collection of recycled apologist fallacies, which fails to even remotely impose on the carefully constructed arguments presented by Dawkins, despite the target he sets at the beginning.

"A Load of Bright
An atheist's views on religion and the supernatural."

Hardly an unbiased site. :)

Of course there are HEAPS of critiques out there and you could claim that they are not unbiased too. But I though this one was worth a look.

It's from ‘the world's most influential philosophical atheist’ (who, after many decades converted to theism before his death in 2010 ).


"The God Delusion by the atheist writer Richard Dawkins, is remarkable in the first place for having achieved some sort of record by selling over a million copies. But what is much more remarkable than that economic achievement is that the contents – or rather lack of contents – of this book show Dawkins himself to have become what he and his fellow secularists typically believe to be an impossibility: namely, a secularist bigot. (Helpfully, my copy of The Oxford Dictionary defines a bigot as ‘an obstinate or intolerant adherent of a point of view’).

This whole business makes all too clear that Dawkins is not interested in the truth as such but is primarily concerned to discredit an ideological opponent by any available means. That would itself constitute sufficient reason for suspecting that the whole enterprise of The God Delusion was not, as it at least pretended to be, an attempt to discover and spread knowledge of the existence or non-existence of God but rather an attempt – an extremely successful one – to spread the author’s own convictions in this area."
