You give him too much credit Bipp!
We can easily see this was all intelligently designed but I'm sure he will argue that this event evolved by the natural actions of some chemicals in the brain....
lol.

I enjoyed the Bishop Harries/ Prof.Dawkins conversation. Nice to see a man of faith and an atheist engaging in something other than a celebrity death match.

I get the feeling WLC would have pwned Dawkins if he did turn up. Regardless of stance Craig is far superior philosopher to Dawkins, a real celebrity deathmatch would have been more evenly matched and far more entertaining.

Hehehehe, maybe dawkins came from natural selection :mrgreen: , but its very apparent that WLC's intellect was streamline designed :)
Dawkins was also challenged by a large shroud of turin conference but he also failed to show up there too.
Seems like his specialty is no-shows.

The problem I have with Dawkins is that he makes philosophical statements and wont back them up. At least with Hitchens he wasnt afraid to engage wlc. Hitchens got his clock cleaned but he took it like a man.

Dawkins has a video where he interviews McGrath.
There is an unedited version also.
I don't think Dawkins is as much of an ass as he comes off at times.

I personally find Dawkins ok to listen to, I think his views are obviously and evidently flawed in many areas but he is entertaining to listen to. However, anyone who asks the question "Who created God?" and makes the statement "Natural selection accounts for its own existence" frankly does not deserve to be labelled as an expert in science nor philosophy.

I'm not going to ignore his intelligence, that would just be arrogant of me. However, a man of that intelligence should have sufficient knowledge to know the opposing arguments to the arguments he presents in his books, debates, etc. Maybe this is unfair of me to say, but I honestly don't think he does, I think he has a vast knowledge of his own arguments and not a very vast understanding of the opposing arguments of Christianity. As a man of power within atheism who writes books and debates all over the world, I think that is a potentially dangerous mix.

Thank you for the compliment friend! ;)
