Rising to Dawkins’ bait

Bravo, Richard! Having had my own tussle with Andrew Harrison of The Word magazine a couple of months ago, I salute your engagement with Dawkins’ bigotry.

Well written, Richard. I find Dawkins to be insufferably arrogant as if he had the only brain in the world.

Great response, Richard. It’s becoming increasingly clear that Dawkins is not a person that can be taken seriously.

Richard,

Wonderful! It continues to surprise me just how ignorant many academics are of theological scholarship. It’s almost as if Dawkins has never heard of Karl Barth or (in his own country) Rowan Williams. In fact, it seems that theology for him is equal to the Purpose-Driven Life or something on that level.

While I agree with the response to Dawkins in every way. I don’t understand what is wrong with “Purpose Driven Life”, being against Karl Barth and Rowan Williams, etc. While I’m not a fundamentalist, I do believe there is value, truthfulness and consistency for believing exactly what God’s Word says as opposed to having projection outside of that consistency.

With regard to Christian science I know many who are actual PHd’s that happen to be Creationist and for science to outright reject them without really looking at the evidence or look at it in a biased way from these particular scientists due to ones own prejudice, predisposition, etc. seems disingenuous to Christian academia.

Many of these PHd Creationist are former Evolutionist’s, atheist’s, etc. and have come to their own conclusion from a scientific perspective as opposed to the accusation that it originated from a theological perspective first. It would be great if scientists looked at the broad base of knowledge as opposed to reviewing what people like Dawkins says or anything remotely close to what Dawkins says before anything else scientific.
