What a stupid and easy to disprove statement right in the sub-title.

>He said he had been raised on the farm and was used to seeing the animals being born and dying. Death was for him simply natural—a part of life, so to speak. I was puzzled by how different our two perspectives on death were and found it difficult to understand why he did not feel the threat of non-being.

Because he's not a fucking coward like the navel gazing Craig is. Page one is Craig bashing biology. He hates nature and worships the supernatural. Page two he shows his cowardice. He's terrified of dying and wants his soul to be immortal. These are your "serious arguments"? Anon, you are easily impressed by appeals to emotion.

As a non-religious person myself, who fits some definitions of "atheist", but rarely self identifies that way, I don't really much like Richard Dawkins.

He's said some pretty interesting and insightful things here and there, sure, and has of course made plenty of worthwhile contributions in his field, but I don't really care for his social commentary or attitude in general, past or present.
>>
>>130014426
He's reasonable enough to acknowledge that islam is the worst of religions which is rare for (((mainstream))) atheists.
I also like the selfish gene theory and I'm pretty sure that entire /pol/ is heavily influenced by it.
If he ever realizes that attacking christianity (or any religion besides islam and judaism for that matter) is a waste of time in current year +2 he'll be ok in my book.

>>130023555
I think this is separate from people's views on the existence of god.
In my country, over 80% or so are defacto atheists, "cultural Christians", as Dawkins himself puts it. And a vast majority of them view Islam as the worst thing out there. Try the same in liberal US West Coast, where there are also many atheists. There it is a "religion of peace", regardless of their personal beliefs.
The core of the issue is multiculti and political correctness rather than atheism/theism.

In all seriousness, everything that can be said about the atheism vs apologetics/creationists debate was said years ago. We finally get a breath of fresh air with Peterson.

The Selfish Gene was an absolutely elegant idea and a brilliant book. The extended phenotype was a fantastic hypothesis that extended the ideas of the selfish gene. The blind watchmaker is also fantastic. His other books on evobio are also great although not as groundbreaking. The god delusion is cringe, I agree, but it owns christians. I still wish he never wrote it so that when i mention Dawkins people don't immediately think of fedoras
>>
>>130023389

I just did. Look at the picture I posted. Animals are smarter than you and Craig.

>kek, as apposed to yourself?

Yes. I can prove evolution.

Name the book where Craig presents evidence for any of his many bullshit assumptions. Or better yet, forget the book and just post his evidence here and now. Impress us. Here's a hint. Talking isn't evidence. Your navel gazing theologist has absolutely nothing to teach the farmer in his essay. If Craig was smart, then he would quit teaching and go work for the farmer on his farm. Craig needs to be taught about common sense and the real world outside of his ivory tower, instead of wasting people’s time with his meandering musings. Then maybe he will accomplish something useful in life, like cleaning a barn.

Without him and his ideas, you would not be winning the meme wars like you are right now.

I don't share his views on religion though, I don't think it is the problem of humankind but in fact low IQ individuals which will proliferate MASSIVELY in the future, who happen to be the more religious too by the way.

If Dawkins was 100% honest he would go full natsoc and advocate for the sterlisation of africans.
