Dawkins bashing? (The atheist delusion)

'But who says that different, unsolved (possibly insoluble) problems invalidate a proposition?' - Well it seems to me the main thing Dawkins and co are saying here is that to push back the issue and say there is a designer, isn't an answer! It just replaces one question with another question. What he is saying is this is no argument for the existence of God. If anything the argument is simply the agnostic one that either you cannot know, or that you should go on with studies to investigate the matter further rather than framing a theology around a question. - Unless there is proof of the proposition, what reason would we have to believe it? - I'm not sure what the credentials of the person who wrote this site are? - Personally I like interesting debate - but I'm not sure it is really very productive for non-believers of various sorts or agnostics to sit around pontificating on matters such as the interpretation of Darwin. What is far more important it seems to me is whether you are an agnostic or atheist to discuss, what should our values be in the light of our views, and how will we personally live ethically and how will we seek to influence society for good? - Mike
