Dawkins or Miller.

If anyone has seen R Dawkins television spectactular tonight I wonder
if any of you found it as pedestrian and disappointing as I did.
I heartily recommend "Jonathan Miller's Rough History of Disbelief"
which aired a couple of years ago. It is a great deal more thoughtful
and seems to reject the massive need Dawkins has to attack. Miller
puts his case by the use of plain reason and philosophical insight;
Dawkins is too obesessed with his own faith in science.

The only attack I saw (months ago) was when a fundamentalist Christian
preacher turned feral when he realized what Dawkins stood for.

Dawkins simply states his case. He sees very clearly how the history of
religious beliefs is repeating itself with the potential conflict.
He doesnt know why, but I would hardly call his passion for his position ,
attack mode.

He has a reputation as one of the four best thinkers of his age.

None of these "thinkers", consider the central place of neuroscience
and neurology in any and all practices of religions. Thus they all
lose complete credibility, unless you like false folk lore stories.

Sounds like we need an "best media presentation of aitheism" in the
various media award shows.

And science offers no sensory evidence and doesn't experiment in order
to search and identify and eliminate contradictions in any of its
findings?

Christolmighty you're a King Kantian fuckwit chazzzzz.
