Your Views on Dawkins?

RE: Your Views on Dawkins?

Is he a poster child for "atheism" or perhaps something else?

Are his works worthy? In other words, do his arguments on several subjects hold up logically? The question is not what he is investigating, the real question is if his arguments hold up based on what he is investigating.

In my opinion, I think that some of Richard Dawkins' viewpoints are sometimes logically invalid. I respect him as a human and a brilliant scientist, however, when he dwells into philosophy, frankly, he is not a good philosopher.

Thoughts? Once again, I'm just curious. I am not here to question anyone's beliefs.

Thanks.

If there are arguments offered by Richard Dawkins that are unsound, then I would like to hear them; immediately followed by your reasons. Otherwise, your assertions are mere unfounded conjecture.

Richard Dawkins was (and still is) an established biologist and a scientist that endeavored to bring his branch of science to the masses. His foray into the 'atheist' debate was only due to the incessant botherings of the so called creation scientists and intelligent design proponents.

You claim a 'philosophical' difference with Dawkins, let's hear your argument. We can then have a discussion. Until then, all I've heard is that you don't like Dawkins without reason.
