Omigosh! I have just about had it with Richard Dawkins!. For those of you who don't know, Richard Dawkins is an Atheist and a doctor and he better stay away from Allan, Saskatchewan because if I see him on the street I'm going to throw my shoe at him (and I have very heavy shoes, ask anyone).
I watched him the other day on "The Hour" and I just wanted to go through the Television and strangle him!
To imply that there is the same ammount of evidence to support evolution as there is to support the holocaust is appauling! and to say that those who deny evolution are just as bad as those who deny the holocaust or the moon landing is an insult to anyone who doesn't share his 'unique' perspective.
There is witness account and written evidence and photographs about the holocaust for crying out loud! Those who choose not to believe it happened are usually anti-semetic or just stupid. The theory of evolution (and yes, it is a THEORY not Fact as Dawkins believes) has No witnesses, no witness account, or photographic evidence to support Dawkin's belief. and since non of us were there (insert immiture cheap shot about Dawkins' age here) we can't saw what the "facts" are. We can only interpret the evidence we have and then formulate theories based on those interpretations. You'd think as a "Doctor" and Scientist he would know that. The truth is -outside of Genesis' account of creation- we have as much information about the beginning of the world as we do about what's inside a black hole, or what's on the other side of a wormhole.
One thing he said, in that interview that I think is just hilarious is his idea that the reason we don't see evolution is that we don't live long enough. This is his argument for why there are no intermediate stages 'missing links' between humans and apes. The monkeys (I'm paraphrasing) are biding their time until all the humans die off and then they will kick start the evolution process they've been suppressing all this time. Are you serious??? This is his argument! "There's this thing called being so open minded your brains fall out." ~Richard dawkins http://RichardDawkins.net Now we've seen it with our own eyes.
Now don't get me wrong here. I haven't bought nor read either of Dawkins' books "the God Delusion" or "The greatest show on earth" despite my rabid curiosity. Mostly because if I spend good money on his twaddle it might give his ideas merit - of which they have none. But I have seen enough interviews with him that I know what his "ideas" are. and more importantly, I know what he looks like. Believe me. I've got a steel toed boot with his name on it.
"...when two opposite points of view are expressed with equal intensity, the truth does not nessesarily lie exactly halfway between them. It is possible for one side to be simply wrong." ~Ibid.
Nice of you to admit it "doctor"
