What's the point, kids of atheist parents won't need it and religious parents won't buy it.

Flip that sentence.  See, now?

Not really.
It's amazing 'science' always seems to 'find' whatever it is funded for, and never the oppsite. Drich.

Ummmm... but I like 19th Century Russian lit. Tolstoy and Dostoevsky don't claim to be the source of absolute truth either. They are just some dudes who wrote novels, and they don't pretend to be anything more. Their work is quite good, too. So don't go lumping classic literature in with a bunch of poorly written Jewish fables, Min. You know better than that Tongue

No, he left biology and entered making money on gullible people industry. His books contain his own made up version of theology so he can trash it.

I guess a dumbed-down version would be his logical next step. Kids and teenagers aren't as critical and believe nonsense more easily.

it's only the adults who go full throttle. you poor poor lost sheep.

Dawkins is one of the best science educators out there. Best raconteur too!
God thinks it's fun to confuse primates. Larsen's God!

Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
