I'll be the first to admit Ray Comfort's work is pretty horrible. But don't act like the side of the atheist doesn't have the same proponents of irrationality that's being fed to the sheep. Learn to ignore the "morons" and look for actual substantive dialogue. It would make clear for clearer heads and better conversations.
An example of Dawkin's irrationality or preposterous reasoning is required to substantiate your argument.
The chief argument in his book boils down to the atrociously bad argument: "who created the creator." How disappointing for me as I came to the apex of his book thinking he was going to have some knock-dead argument against God. Nope. Just a classic misunderstanding of what the nature of God entails and the metaphysics behind how necessary beings function.
You can take a glance through this paper if you feel inclined to-

And if you want further reading on how bad that book really is, i'll point you to:
-Alister McGrath's The Dawkins Delusion
-Alvin Plantinga's The Dawkins Confusion
-David Berlinski's The Devil's Delusion
-John Lennox's God's Undertaker
All generalizations are false.
