I have never liked Dawkins and now I like him a whole lot less. It must be a long time since I've seen him, because he 'suddenly' looks ancient. His smugness has always been insufferable (I've heard other atheists say he gives them a bad name), especially the way he talks about people he considers less intelligent or educated than his venerated self.

It's interesting, though, that you can read a tweet by someone as supposedly intelligent as Dawkins (or Chomsky) and another by a pure moron like Piers Morgan, on the topic of the 'irresponsibility of the unjabbed', and they both basically said exactly the same (entirely stupid and wrong) thing.

To be honest, mind you, if Dawkins figured out the depopulation agenda, it wouldn't surprise me if he thought it an admirable idea.

"as an example of how a distinguished, celebrated and highly-honored scientist can display such an utter ignorance..."

See, there's your problem right there.

"Distinguished, celebrated, highly-honored"??

Really? Why???

I had Dawkins pegged years ago as someone who was too infatuated with his own hubris to listen to reason, even when it was smacking him in the face, and I was right.

He's just a man. Take any "credentialed expert" and peel off the veneer and that's all you're going to be left with. A man...weak, craven, irrational, fearful, corruptible, and completely fallible. Occasionally if you're patient, one might exhibit the odd flash of brilliance, but don't let that fool you.
