So many Atheists it seems now are
vacating and coming to Him. Has
Dawkins 'set the pattern'? In a recent
and fatal NYTimes interview Dawkins
broke down after 2 hours and admitted
his personal belief in God.


It's highly plausible that in the universe there
are God-like creatures. - Richard Dawkins

Dawkins - a staunch atheist despite the desperate LIES of creationists
to the contrary, will not only take on, but take down Britain's
leading man of a god.

Lovely.
Is the godbotherer going to apologise for taking the name of Brian in vain ?

After two hours of conversation, Professor Dawkins walks far afield. He
talks of the possibility that we might co-evolve with computers, a
silicon destiny. And heąs intrigued by the playful, even soul-stirring
writings of Freeman Dyson, the theoretical physicist.

In one essay, Professor Dyson casts millions of speculative years into
the future. Our galaxy is dying and humans have evolved into something
like bolts of superpowerful intelligent and moral energy.

[So the context of discussion is now established as being in Dyson's far
future, and the following must be interpreted in that context]

Doesnąt that description sound an awful lot like God?

[Again establishing that the context is Dyson's future universe]

łCertainly,˛ Professor Dawkins replies. łItąs highly plausible that in
the [Dyson future] universe there are God-like creatures.˛

He raises his hand, just in case a reader thinks heąs gone around a
religious bend. łItąs very important to understand that these [future]
Gods came into being by an explicable scientific progression of
incremental evolution.˛

Could they be immortal?

The professor shrugs. łProbably not.˛ He smiles and adds, łBut I
wouldnąt want to be too dogmatic about that.˛

More wishful thinking.
And that same out of context quote.
Don't you get tired of lying?

Not likely.
Being a fundimentalist means never having to apologise.
Ever.
