Quote:OK, if you are asking questions like that, then you should genuinelyAs you are keen on logic perhaps you should think look up arguments from incredulity. The towering ignorance and arrogance of the theist to posit a god because they refuse to believe manifest facts about reality, my favorite example was Bishop Hugh Montefiore who received a slapping from Dawkins...funny stuff:
Also if you cant answer it regardless of your feelings toward me or my question then you sir are lacking knowledge.[snip] is...science is very unreliable in answering the completely logical questions .....if you want to be swept away by false assumptions from scientists who think they know how to explain life yet wont give a clear structure or example or cant even produce life theirselves then all up to you..You cant make something living from something that is not and thats a FACT so If you believe it has happened then you cant say science is your belief because you say you believe in science yet you say that when you die your are dead and even science says there is no coming back so therefore life cant come from nothing.It had to be CrEATED
Dawkins criticises Bishop Hugh Montefiore for again and again resorting to the argument that he just cannot believe that this or that complex organ or organism could possibly have evolved.
For instance, Dawkins quotes Montefiore saying this:
"As for camouflage, this is not always easily explicable on neo-Darwinian premises. If polar bears are dominant in the Arctic, then there would seem to have been no need for them to evolve a white-coloured form of camouflage".
This, says Dawkins, should be translated thus:
"I personally, off the top of my head sitting in my study, never having visited the Arctic, never having seen a polar bear in the wild, and having been educated in classical literature and theology, have not so far managed to think of a reason why polar bears might benefit from being white".
