Angry, condescending atheists

RE: Angry, condescending atheists
(February 23, 2018 at 3:29 pm)Cyberman Wrote: Incidentally, if we're going to hang the man by his words, let's at least use the words he actually wrote:

"So to the book's provocation, the statement that nearly half the people in the United States don't believe in evolution. Not just any people but powerful people, people who should know better, people with too much influence over educational policy. We are not talking about Darwin's particular theory of natural selection. It is still (just) possible for a biologist to doubt its importance, and a few claim to. No, we are here talking about the fact of evolution itself, a fact that is proved utterly beyond reasonable doubt. To claim equal time for creation science in biology classes is about as sensible as to claim equal time for the flat-earth theory in astronomy classes. Or, as someone has pointed out, you might as well claim equal time in sex education classes for the stork theory. It is absolutely safe to say that if you meet somebody who claims not to believe in evolution, that person is ignorant, stupid or insane (or wicked, but I'd rather not consider that).

If that gives you offence, I'm sorry. You are probably not stupid, insane or wicked; and ignorance is no crime in a country with strong local traditions of interference in the freedom of biology educators to teach the central theorem of their subject."
Ahh quote mining thought that might be so . Though Dawkins does say stupid shit . He's a good biologist . But he should really stay off twitter and not give speeches .
Seek strength, not to be greater than my brother, but to fight my greatest enemy -- myself.
