Dawkins celebrates the miracle of life – with or without God
Well done – you’ve discovered an algorithm to use double meanings of religious language in English to make situations involving atheists seem ironic even when they’re not. Now you can base a whole journalism career on it. The media have never had it so easy since atheists started speaking out, have they?
His rationale for having to devote a new book to the subject more than 150 years after Darwin's On the Origin of Species?
1. So, it’s only worth writing something new briefly after the Origin? 2. Don’t you think science needs updating, however good its books are? The Origin is no holy text (not that Christians abstain from writing books about their faith, anyway). 3. Actually, it wasn’t more than 150 at the time. Does this guy think TGSOE was published this week or something?
