Evolution

[StatCrux]

If I wanted a lesson about God I would speak to a theologian and not an evolutionary biologist. I suspect you don't follow your own advice on this matter...What gives Dawkins any authority to speak about God?

No more than anyone willing to read up on theology and philosophy. Do you seriously think we're atheist because we read the God Delusion, anymore than you're christian because you read Christian Theology: An Introduction.

Nice try at diversion thou.

Of course not, I'm simply pointing out the hypocrisy involved when people take the position of "we studied the sciences that shows us there is no God because theres no evidence" The question of Gods existance is a philosophical/theological question, studying biology gives no authority to speak on philosophical issues.

The amount of education (intelligence ) needed for becoming an evolutionary biologist compared to becoming a theologian isn't the same.

What utter rubbish! Have you ever heard of Alister McGrath?

First of all, I wasn't entirely serious, hence the smiley face dude. Secondly, I am familiar with him, it is a shame that such a smart guy devotes so much time to utter nonsense. Although, from interviews I have seen he does seem like a decent guy.

Well anyone with an ounce of intelligence perhaps would pause for thought and think about that? Would such an intelligent guy really devote his time to nonsense? Doesn't something not fit in that equation? Either 1.He isn't really intelligent or 2.Perhaps it shouldn't so quickly be dismissed as nonsense, doing so would be rather unintelligent I would have thought
