I'm sorry Anto, but EvF does have a point and I do get your point as well. However, that also depends on the subject/topic of discussion.
In this case, it's the existence of a "God". I don't have to read the Bible (Even though I have time and time again and still go back to it every now and then), to simply ask someone who follows it or believes in a god, is he/she/it real and if so, please show me or help me understand etc. etc.
Dawkins has had more than enough years under his belt to know the difference and hear the same rhetorical questions and wall hiding ignorance to have made up his mind and look for answers involved from the subject of "God".
I don't have to be a mechanic to know how to change my oil.....They may do it faster, and better in the beginning, but over time that oil change will still be an oil change and statistics will show that I will catch up to speed over time. (Unless I'm a complete moron.....)...
Point is, that even though that the education may help him a bit in making it easier when searching or yada yada. It still does not take away the fact of someone's thought and what he/she can see, hear, touch, taste and smell right in-front of them.....And again, it depends on the subject at hand...The subject of a "God" existing or not is one thing, but the subject of a "God" being a Christian one, Muslim one, etc. etc. etc. is pure idiocy and anyone who believes such nonsense is warped in the head.
And correct me if I'm wrong, but Dawkins has stated time and time again that he is not saying "Their cannot be a God".....He's only saying that the possibilities of one has no evidence to back it up...And that I agree with...
