Richard Dawkins Interview, Newsnight Bookclub.
YouTube
Richard Dawkins: "I care passionately about the truth as a scientist and I do regard religion's claims about the universe as alternative scientific claims ..... "
If we would indeed do this we would certainly end up in a dead end street. Religious claims are not alternative scientific claims. This is nonsense.
Richard Dawkins: "..... so the the claim that the universe contains a god, contains a creative intelligence, is a scientific claim, ..... "
Which religion claims that "the universe contains a god" ? Certainly not the Christian religion. The Christian religion distinguishes between the creation and the Creator. They are separate entities. The creation does not "contain a god".
This is a very fundamental mistake by Dawkins, who claims he cares passionately about the truth. If he starts assuming this rubbish, then it is no wonder his conclusions are rubbish also.
Richard Dawkins: "God almost certainly doesn't exists"
Interviewer: "Do you leave open the possibility that he does ?"
Richard Dawkins: "Of course, any scientist would leave open this possibility."
... then how can he draw the scientific conclusion that belief in god is irrational ?
So far so good, ... oh well ..... but listen to what he has to say about Christian scientists and the nonsense he then starts to spout .... "compartimentalisation" ..... really .....
Interviewer: "You don't understand how they (Christian scientists, Ivan) can reconcile those two ways of being ...... (inaudible) .... "
Richard Dawkins: "No, I don't .... not really, no .... "
About the Bush constituents:
Richard Dawkins: "They long for nuclear war".
Really ?

This man is not a scientist, this man is a political guru disguised as a scientist ..... and a bad one I must add ......
