One of the good guys
“…I think it is very patronising to call a serious book about other peoples’ views of the universe and everything a delusion. I don’t think that is helpful and I think it portrays science in a bad light.”
“Some people, both scientists and religious people, deal with uncertainty by being certain. That is dangerous in the fundamentalists and it is dangerous in the fundamentalist scientists.”
The biggest problem I have with Dawkins is his self-delusion that religion is to blame for most of the ills of the world. Last time I checked it was scientists who develop most of the machinery of warfare, I’ve yet to go to a meeting at church and start work on plans to decimate any major cities, or maybe the Manhattan Project never happened?
