I meant to link to the entire site, not just the one dealing with religion.

The first is as you take it: the big question is whether there is <I>any</I> religion that can stand up to rational scrutiny, with the implied answer being no. <BR/><BR/>The other way to take it is that Dawkins et al. take the abundant evidence of evolution by natural means and use it to argue that no theistic religion is correct. But whether theistic religion can stand up to rational scrutiny is a bigger question than whether we can find evidence of direct theistic intervention in the evolution of life. So Dawkins et al. are stepping out of their bounds.<BR/><BR/>I suspect the author would claim he had the latter sentiment in mind.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
