Because they're so desperate to have their delusions reinforced they'll latch on to anyone with a glib tongue and a suit? Am I getting warm?
Except that Professor Dawkins (yes, he actually has scientific credentials) actually is a respected writer and speaker. Respect isn't something that comes automatically from standing at a lectern, nor is it gauged by how many people cite a person as a reference. It is earned, in this case by actually adding to the body of human knowledge through peer-reviewed literature and the like. Prof Dawkins has earned something else besides respect: credibility, which gives him the leeway to explore the subject of religion in his own methodical way. Atheists don't, as a rule, treat his every utterance as divine prophecy or holy writ carved in stone, forever unchangeable.
WLC, as has already been pointed out to you, is a proven liar and a known fool. Putting your faith in him is exactly what parables such as 'building your house on sand' were written about.
And if 'winning' a debate on an atheist forum, even one as august as this, is so gut-wrenchingly important to you, then I am truly sad for you.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
