Abrasiveness of Richard Dawkins
Gary Demar commenting on the abrasiveness and incivility of Richard Dawkins quotes Dawkins stating the following:
| “ | It is absolutely safe to say that if you meet somebody who claims not to believe in evolution, that person is ignorant, stupid or insane (or wicked, but I'd rather not consider that).[1] | ” |
Dr. R. Albert Mohler, Jr. has echoed Mr. Demar's estimation of Richard Dawkins and has stated regarding Richard Dawkins the following:
| “ | His aggressiveness and abrasiveness have now prompted some of his fellow defenders of evolution to wonder if he is doing their cause more harm than good.
The September 2005 issue of Discover magazine features an article that raises this very question. In "Darwin's Rottweiler," author Stephen S. Hall suggests that Dawkins is simply "far too fierce.".... Dawkins admits that he just may be "a bit of a loose canon." In reality, that is a significant understatement. [2] |
” |
A great irony of Richard Dawkins alleged fierceness is that Dawkins has established a reputation for avoiding debates with his strongest opponents which is something the liberal media often fails to report.
