    Not at all.

    Like anybody else, if things he says have ample evidence to back them up, I accept them as probably correct. If they don't, I give them no merit whatsoever.

    I'm consistent that way. I don't take anything anybody says without evidence.

    Peace.

    at the start, Christians would desire to comprehend is that Richard Dawkins would not characterize atheism, no person does. i could no longer care much less what he says, i do no longer have confidence him and that i do no longer care notwithstanding in case you have faith me or no longer. Secondly, criticizing a 70 365 days previous guy because of the fact he cant submit to in suggestions the call of a e book is amazingly petty and infantile. So what if he won't be able to submit to in suggestions the entire call of it, why would desire to he would desire to? that's the content textile of the e book that concerns, no longer the identify. My grandfather can slightly submit to in suggestions the days of the week yet i do no longer humiliate him for it. Thirdly, the indisputable fact which you're taking articles written for the daily Mail as something different than an entire shaggy dog tale is very humorous to me. and ultimately, The foundation of Species isn't the Bible of evolution or atheism. Many modern-day biologists, and that i'm specific Richard Dawkins himself, dispute areas of Darwins artwork and it is predicted because it fairly is a a hundred and fifty 365 days previous e book for crying out loud

    About 90%, but that is conditional on proof. If he was wrong and the evidence contradicted him, I wouldn't say, "Oh, Dawkins says the evidence is wrong so it is." He is extremely honest, however, he tells people when he isn't sure. Oh, and he's also the most respected evolutionary biologist alive, so that's nice.

    Source(s): God still probably doesn't exist.

    I know he is going to back up his claims with evidence, and he freely admits when he is uncertain about a subject, so on that level I trust him. I still read through everything and make up my own mind; I have no blind trust in anyone that I do not know personally.

    Sam harris and christopher hitchens are also good representatives! Dawkins and those two should make you think about your religion and how ridiculous it is!! Just sayin. I wouldnt trust a jealous god who is all about himself! He created everyone to worship him b/c he was bored in his isolation!

    More than I trust a book that says the moon shines with it's own light, or one that says the Earth is fixed and everything moves around it, or one that says that embryos start as a blood clot.

    I trust him as far as he can support his arguments with evidence. So infinitely more than I trust religions.

    I trust the evidence. If he is agreeing with the evidence I trust him. If he strays from evidence, I would not trust him.
