I have to admit, I feel sorry for Dawkins, he verses these theists who completely dominate him, because he isnt a philosopher. He spends quite a bit of time looking like a stunned mullet! Poor guy.
Anyways, I dont know, I will ask him one day, when I tell him that he has made me a better Theist, a rational theist.

I have watched many debates between Dawkins and theists and you my friend are talking out of your backside.
The reason he dominates so easily is that he is better than a philosipher he is a scientist and scientists deal with evidence, philosophers use thought and "logic", and these can lead us down blind alleys, sometimes for thousands of years.
I'm thinking of the medicine here, where the balance of the bodies humurs was the key to health. Which led to the bleeding of already weakened people and other such crap and often fatal treatments.
