The Oxford University Professor [[Daniel Came]] wrote to the New Atheist [[Richard Dawkins]]:: "The absence of a debate with the foremost [[Christian apologetics|apologist]] for Christian [[theism]] is a glaring omission on your [[Curriculum vitae|CV]] and is of course apt to be interpreted as cowardice on your part."<ref>[http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/religion/8511931/Richard-Dawkins-accused-of-cowardice-for-refusing-to-debate-existence-of-God.html Richard Dawkins accused of cowardice for refusing to debate existence of God], ''[[The Daily Telegraph]]'', May 14, 2011</ref>

In October of 2011, Dr. Craig went to England and the ''Daily Telegraph'' declared that Dawkins is either a fool or a coward for his refusal to debate William Lane Craig plus declared that Dawkins is a "proud man" and a "coward" who puts on an "illiterate, angry schtick" for the public.<ref>[http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/timstanley/100112626/richard-dawkins-is-either-a-fool-or-a-coward-for-refusing-to-debate-william-lane-craig/ Richard Dawkins is either a fool or a coward for refusing to debate William Lane Craig - October 21, 2011 - ''The Daily Telegraph'']</ref> In addition, [[Christian apologetics|Christian apologist]] [[True Free Thinker|Mariano Grinbank]] called Dawkins a "cowardly clown" because Dawkins and other prominent atheists refused to debate [[Creation Ministries International]] at the 2010 Global Atheist Convention.<ref>[http://www.truefreethinker.com/articles/richard-dawkins-cowardly-clown Richard Dawkins, the Cowardly Clown]</ref>

Below are some resources relating to Dawkins refusal to debate various debate opponents:
*[[Richard Dawkins' public refusal to debate creationists]]
*[[Richard Dawkins and William Lane Craig]]
*[[Richard Dawkins and Dinesh D'Souza]]
*[[Richard Dawkins and Rabbi Shmuley Boteach]] (Denied debating him after losing video taped debate, refuses to debate another time)
In addition, respected biochemist and [[intelligent design]] researcher Dr [[Michael Behe]] has openly challenged prominent [[evolutionist]]s and proponents of [[Darwinism]] to debate him regarding the many failings of [[evolutionism]], yet [[Richard Dawkins]] - one of the most outspoken [[Darwinist]]s today - has declined all such invitations.
