Exposing the Intellectual Bankruptcy of Atheists Criticizing Religion

[drfuzzy]

Okay, so I read the article and apparently it's an attack on "new atheism" (i.e. Dawkins and a few others). It points out a couple errors they made in some books and uses this to (repeatedly) insist that therefore the new atheists haven't sufficiently researched the claims that they are trying to debunk. I haven't read anything by Dawkins, so I really can't comment on that but one thing I can comment on is the fact that the thread title is misleading.

By using other atheist's critiques of Dawkins as support for his claims, the author incidentally implies that some atheists are intelligent enough to be taken seriously (or why else would we care what they thought about Dawkins?) The author never actually attacks atheism itself, only a handful of loud-mouthed "new atheists" he perceives as ignorant. He also apparently thinks that preachers denying evolution are equally ignorant, so take that as you will.

This article does nothing to expose the intellectual bankruptcy of atheists, and only a bit to show some errors of thinking in a select few. I guess if I were to summarize the point of the article in a single sentence it would be this: Do your research before you criticize religion, or you'll look like an idiot like Dawkins.

Thank you, Darkstar, for saying what I tried to say but much more concisely and eloquently.
