I don't really see this as relevant. Francis Collins is already living in a brainwashed mindset, evidently. He uses the same old religious cop-outs to avoid having to actually scrutinise his own beliefs. I have no doubt if he applied scientific reason to his own beliefs objectively, he'd come to the only rational conclusion. The problem is he obviously doesn't want to do that. That said, Dawkins as far as I know, isn't the be all and end all of good education. Nor should any weight be given to his ability to educate simply because he couldn't convince a guy already brainwashed that his beliefs are moronic. That's no easy feat, and of all the debates I've seen, not once have I seen someone suddenly concede defeat and say "you know what mate, I think I'm wrong, my beliefs are bollocks". That doesn't happen, so again, don't really see what point you're making...
Unless I'm missing something.
