Dawkins and Determinism

[naimless]

So what causes someone to realise this and still be hypocritical?

Predetermination.

I meant more specifically and I think you know I did. Answering everything with "predetermination" still doesn't answer "how". It is not too dissimilar to how religious people respond when you ask them, what causes the tide to go in and out? Well god does, you don't need to explain it any further. In this case, well, predetermination does, you must leave it as an open question.

I had considered this, but Wiki explains:


I just don't understand why a man left with nothing is motivated to spread nothing.

Nothing for his religious belief because the evidence point otherwise. He realised their was a truth and his religion distorted that. He is motivated by truth not nothing.

If he was motivated by truth he would focus on his work as a scientist, not as an atheist. He explained the theory of evolution led to his conclusion of atheism, so why try and spread atheism at all? Just spread the theory of evolution.
