Dawkins Brilliantly Rebukes Common Criticisms Of His Stance On Religion
Like him or loathe him you can’t deny that Dawkins has a way with words, matched by almost no other Scientific or Religious commentator. He justifies every thing he says with style and can rebuke any criticism without ever losing face or resulting to snide remarks. My personal favourite, and probably one of the most common criticisms regarding him:
You’re as much a fundamentalist as those you criticise.
No, please, do not mistake passion, which can change its mind, for fundamentalism, which never will. Passion for passion, an evangelical Christian and I may be evenly matched. But we are not equally fundamentalist. The true scientist, however passionately he may “believe”, in evolution for example, knows exactly what would change his mind: evidence! The fundamentalist knows that nothing will.
Almost as much as Morgan Freeman.
