Bill O'Reilly punks Richard Dawkins

RE: Bill O'Reilly punks Richard Dawkins
[quote='Tiberius' pid='95939' dateline='1285466548']


[quote]He was arguing that evolution is science, and so should be taught in science class. Science doesn't know everything about evolution, but that doesn't mean that you can just insert any other idea in its place.[/quote]

This was one of the five points where "The Young Turks" said that O'Reilly had the advantage in the debate. O'Reilly insisted that to not even allow for a discussion of religion vs evolution in the science class, presented Dawkins as unreasonable, pompous, close minded, and facist. It was an effective tactic that neutralized his argument.

[quote]Judging by the comments in this thread, it seems that I'm not the only one who sees through O'Reilly's tactics.[/quote]

O'Reilly used them effectively to neutralize Dawkins arguments. When Dawkins admited that science couldn't answer how everything came into existence, he was put on the defense throughout the rest of the debate.

[quote]Science doesn't know everything about evolution,...[/quote]
Judging by the comments in this thread, most agree with you that science doesn't know everything about evolution. Can anyone be certain that it even happened?

Quote:It was an awful mistake to characterize based upon religion. I should not judge any theist that way, I must remember what I said in order to change.
