    Note: Please stay within the parameters of the question posed.

    Hint: This was a question about Dawkins competence and, implied, his sanity.


    An additional given will be provided:

    Dawkins declared that Darwian evolution (dirt ==> every species) is an established fact, as much as any established fact in science. (perhaps as established as global warming)


    Extra Credit: Define "Creationist", and further, describe how it is that you come to believe I am one.

  4. So I suppose when you get drunk and the next day you forgot what you did the night before, does that mean it never happened?

    There is probably a good reason why people do not remember existing before they were born, just like there is probably a good reason to not remember what you did the night before when you got drunk. :)


    If you dont drink I will use this analogy then. Most people do not remember being a baby. Does that mean you were never one?

  5. So Water is a designer? LOL. Sounds like some hokey religion.

  6. Hehe, apparently there's a chinese proverb to the effect that there is only one "perfect" thing-work.

    Because it never stop's, never ends, always need's attending to etc.
    Maybe they could add P&R arguments to that......................:D

  7. Sure, go ahead.
    I have no more nor less reasons to be a major prophet than anyone else, after all the qualifications are quite low!

    Maybe that's what it is really all about-mankind "needs" abstraction, to take away the issues of being sentient,or being eaten by a bear.

    Hey, I'm not the biggest fan of reality myself, so at some level I can see where god-botherer's are coming from, but why make things so utterly nonsensical?

    If "god" gave us rational thought, let's use it, and not screw around the periphery with hymns, bible's, and fairytale bullshit.

    I did.
    You specifically asked about your understanding of my answer.
    Your initial question about Richard Dawkins and your now revised one about him both beg another question which I already asked.

    Like I said, I am not convinced a Creationist can be fair , especially when apparently they can't even think straight through the questions they pose nor the answers given.

    Are you being serious?
    Has your understanding been so easily manipulated by design of a "hokey religion" into thinking design can only be intelligent ?

    Do you not remember being a monkey, an egg-whisk or a god?

    "Does that mean you were never one? There is probably a good reason to not remember... does that mean it never happened? "
