And it's at least partly your fault--here you are, preaching that if biblical creationism isn't true we must be just chimps.It's exactly what they get. They might not use those words, but kids aren't dumb, they get it. The columbine shooters sure got it.
No, there is no valid reason to believe that anyone "meets God". But that is another topic. The fact of evolution does not disprove some gods, it only refutes specific gods. It does not even refute all Christian versions of God.To meet God? Yes I'm sure he did. And I'm sure he bowed, as all will.
What does evolution have to do with whether he met God? I didn't say anything about that.No, there is no valid reason to believe that anyone "meets God". But that is another topic.

I never understood what people admire about Dawkins.
He's a viable spokesman for Team Primate.I never understood what people admire about Dawkins.
And he's wrong.That's because (and this is a shot in the dark) you've never read anything he's written. He's a brilliant scientist, an excellent writer (his scientific books are much better than the ones on religion) and not afraid to call it as he sees it.
I've read some of his stuff in other books. He just sounds angry and not all that logical.That's because (and this is a shot in the dark) you've never read anything he's written.

We are; but that doesn't mean we are "just chimps." We are a unique species of primate by any estimation. For Christians we are primates with immortal souls.How many times have I been told on this thread that humans are primates?
He's an atheist who dislikes fundamentalists (who can blame him?) and he doesn't know very much about religion so he tends to tar all theists with the same brush.I've read some of his stuff in other books. He just sounds angry and not all that logical.
Lol, exactly what I said. Ok, so we are smart, special chimps. Doesn't sound a bit better. Doesn't make a person feel they are anything more than an animal created by chance mutations.We are; but that doesn't mean we are "just chimps." We are a unique species of primate by any estimation.

I'm not sure why it makes all that much difference whether God created our mortal bodies from a precursor primate or from a handful of dust.Lol, exactly what I said.

Yes, quit pretending it's just fundamentalists he hates. .. whatever you decide that means. A person who believes the fundamentals of the Christian faith is not a bad person.He's an atheist who dislikes fundamentalists (who can blame him?) and he doesn't know very much about religion so he tends to tar all theists with the same brush.

If I remember right, Behe quotes Dawkins a lot in " Darwins black box."
That's probably where I read it.
