    Default Richard Dawkins Attacks Agnostic Philosopher Sir Anthony Kenny, & Atheist Prof David Albert



    Info:

    Richard Dawkins has lashed out at the prominent and highly respected agnostic philosopher Sir Anthony Kenny, of Oxford University. He's also a little too quick to dismiss atheist philosopher (and physicist!) David Albert. Compared to 2006, when The God Delusion was first released, Dawkins appears to have thrown philosophy into the same trash can as theology (despite using it to help sell his book). Why? Read on for links used in the video:

    William Lane Craig's critique of The God Delusion:

    Material in this video has been incorporated under fair use for journalistic and educational purposes, and to illustrate as effectively as possible a trend in Prof Dawkins' academic conduct which has become increasingly alarming to some colleagues, including and especially the non-theist and the secular.

    Richard Dawkins is the perfect example of someone with extremely high technical intelligence and reasoning skills, but with zero emotional intelligence or social competency.

    If I wasn't aware Dawkins has a legion of fans I would immediately assume you are joking.

    From the videos I've seen of him, most of his arguments were technically and logically sound. He is just a nasty, and socially retarded person, which is part of the reason why he is so famous/notorious.

    I haven't seen anything new to his arguments that hasn't been said before, and in fact I have seen unsound arguments from him more than once. I've seen many philosophers, theists or not, saying Dawkins and the new-atheists haven't brought any new significant ideas to the debate. He is more of a religious hater than anything.
