It is kind of funny. Dawkins has written some tremendously informative and interesting books. You don't have to agree with his take on evolution or theology, but to say he is an a complete idiot just doesn't hold water. It is kind of out there to approach the clash of the personalities like that, but fair enough though as it is kind of funny.
Dawkins write Shit. Fact is he says there is no God and then when he explains life he needs to back track as people think he's a fool. George wills can be a hack, I don't drag all off O'Reilly books but the three I read were very good. Have you ever read one.
No, I haven't read one of his books, but by the same token have you sat down and read any of Dawkins books? I mean, you listen to Dawkins and you hear him as he writes which means you get articulacy, evidence and reason. If O'Reilly writes how he sounds then you have to worry. He seldom comes off very well and people tend to mock him for that reason. Not that I have a problem with what you say regarding O'Reilly as I admit I haven't read or have the inclination to read his work, but it just isn't true that Dawkins writes shit. That is just silly. You don't like evolution or any of the ideas surrounding it which you are entitled to posit forth as an argument, but Dawkins is clearly a very smart man and not 'a complete fool' just because he disagrees with your fundamentalist take on the history of the human race.
