Fredericks, have you read her book "Doubt"?
The problem with Dawkins, in addition to his obvious recent jerkishness, is that in all of his books he gives the impression that natural selection equals evolution. Natural selection is just one mechanism of evolution.
N.T.C.,
Doubt is on my list.
I recently read that only Christian fundamentalists and the God deniers are talking about a superhero who lives in outer space. Most people have a more nuanced interpretation of spirituality.
Christian fundamentalism- by that I mean the literal interpretation of the bible- is a relatively new phenomena that emerged only when science started making serious advancements and discoveries.
When Friedrich Nietzsche said God is dead he was talking about as a basis for morality and politics. No more aquatic tarts handing out swords. Not that the big guy in the sky croaked.
