dawkins is a biologist, and if you actually read a single thing about him or by him you would know that. the fact that you had no idea what dawkins does tells me you have no idea what his actual beliefs are, and this renders everything you could possibly say about ANYTHING in this discussion null and void.
in fact, specitically, dawkins is an EVOLUTIONARY BIOLOGIST, which means he is a DEFINITE expert in terms of religious matters. why? well, because evolutionary biology and religion are battling head to head on the same matter. you talk about dawkins philosophy, but dawkins HAS no philosphy. his books, the selfish gene or the blind watchmaker, are PURELY religious, and he actually doesn't talk about things from a philosophical standpoint.
your complete and utter ignorance in what your talking about reveals you to be the moron you are. as they say, i hope this helps.
ahahahahahaha you are wrong on every count, i dwarf you on iq by at least a hundred points.
he is a zoologists, your ignorance of the differentiation of biology and zoology is striking. if there was a quiz at the end of the book you would fail.
http://www.simonyi.ox.ac.uk/dawkins/WorldOfDawkins-archive/Dawkins/Biography/bio.shtml Zoology is the study of animal life. It covers areas ranging from the structure of organisms to the subcellular unit of life. Some zoologists are interested in the biology of particular groups of animals. Others are concerned with the structure and function of animal bodies. Still others study how new animals are formed and how their characteristics are passed on from one generation to another. Zoologists study the interactions of animals with one another and their environments, and the significance of the behavior of animals.
Zoology is both descriptive and analytical. It can be approached either as a basic science or as an applied science. A worker in basic zoology is interested in knowledge of animals for its own sake without consideration of the direct application of the information gained. In contrast, workers in applied zoology are interested in information which will directly benefit humans; medicine is an example.
Richard Dawkins (b. 1941) is Lecturer in Zoology (1970-present) at Oxford University and the author of numerous books on Darwinian evolution including the The Selfish Gene and The Blind Watchmaker. He is perhaps the most well known scientist in the world.
Dawkins' biggest claim to fame is his championing of a gene-centric biology, whereby genes are the central units and agents of life and evolution. On his view, evolution works almost exclusively at the level of genes: selection favors genes that maximize their copies.
Richard Dawkins was educated under the tutelage of ethologist Niko Tinbergen at Oxford University. He proceeded to become Assistant Professor of Zoology at the University of California at Berkeley from 1967-1969 after which he began his current position at Oxford. Dawkins published his first book (The Selfish Gene) in 1976, six years after joining the faculty at Oxford.
In 1995 Richard Dawkins became the first holder of the newly endowed Charles Simonyi Chair of Public Understanding of Science at Oxford University. In 1997 he was elected Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature.
Richard Dawkins is the bestselling author of seven books which include The Selfish Gene(1976; second edition 1989), The Extended Phenotype (1982), The Blind Watchmaker (1986), River Out of Eden (1995), Climbing Mount Improbable (1996) and Unweaving the Rainbow (1998).
your credability is gone stop replying to me in hope no one will think your a moron. hahah
