Dawkins on Time 100 |
Good news everybody, Richard Dawkins is on Time's 100 men and women
who shape the world list.
But guess who did the write up! You won't believe it.

Given that it's _Time Magazine_ you're talking about,
nothing would surprise me.

You're right. One has to admire a person who may disagree with another
and yet acknowledge their impact/worth. Mr. Behe gets a big thumbs up
from me on this.

Scientists and Thinkers
Richard Dawkins
By Michael Behe
Of Richard Dawkins' nine books, none caused as much controversy or sold
as well as last year's The God Delusion. The central idea—popular among
readers and deeply unsettling among proponents of intelligent design
like myself—is that religion is a so-called virus of the mind, a simple
artifact of cultural evolution, no more or less meaningful than eye
color or height.
It is a measure of the artful way Dawkins, 66, an evolutionary biologist
at the University of Oxford, tells a tale and the rigor he brings to his
thinking that even those of us who profoundly disagree with what he has
to say can tip our hats to the way he has invigorated the larger debate.
Dawkins had a mild Anglican youth but at 16 discovered Charles Darwin
and believed he'd found a pearl of great price. I believe his new book
follows much less from his data than from his premises, and yet I admire
his determination. Concerning the big questions, the Bible advises us to
be hot or cold but not lukewarm. Whatever the merit of his ideas,
Richard Dawkins is not lukewarm.
Behe is the author of the upcoming The Edge of Evolution

Atheist n A person to be pitied in that he is
unable to believe things for which there is
no evidence, and who has thus deprived himself of
a convenient means of feeling superior to others.
