Dawkins is an Ass

Tuesday, November 14th, 2006

Dawkins and Collins, two preeminent geneticists, are arguing God vs. Science.  I think Collins makes some flying leaps and panders slightly, but Dawkins is out of control.  He’s close to understanding the entire universe in his own mind.  I have a little parable from his own field of study to instruct those who care about […]

Wednesday, September 20th, 2006

For some reason I never saw this MarkL post on Hailstorm when he posted a year and a half ago.
