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.
Got it. Your problem with Dawkins, and presumably others, is based on your fealty to the cosmological argument.
No, but nice try. You said to point to one of his logical absurdities- I just outlined one. If he had established a well thought out rebuttal to the cosmological arguments like the establishment of B-Theory then I would respect his attempt. Instead it's these childish arguments that have no logical coherence. He is literally saying "who created the uncreated creator?" what an absurd question. My issue with Dawkins is he obviously has no idea what he's talking about when he steps into the field of philosophy, and more specifically, metaphysics. Yet these atheists that read his stuff are outright convinced that he knows what he's talking about. It's the same crap with creationists and Ray Comfort. Stick to evolutionary biology, Rich, that's what you're good at.
All generalizations are false.
