Dawkins on Alien Rubbish

[Clinton Huxley]

Alien - inconsistent or incompatible with, according to my battered old Chambers.

In which case, when talking about science and Islam, the DAwk's use of English is entirely correct.

Indeed - but sans the ability to mind-read, any opinion on motivation is mere supposition.

he isn't getting any younger, what better way to leave the show?

Getting a heart attack while having sex with three young models?

But seriously. I'd rather see him dying natural way than being murdered. Even when it might not make any difference to him, it might scare others from criticizing islam.

Well that's why islam works so well.
Instil fear in your critics.

And it's not just islam. All kind of extremist movements throughout history where critics have been murdered have had the same affect.

Of course I'd wish that opposite happens if the Dawkins is murdered, but most I wish that he won't be murdered in the first place.

If his intention is to get himself murdered by radical muslim fundys then I'm sure, mostly sure, he will achieve his objective given his substantial well re-nowned people handling skills.

If that happens I can see Islamic apologists lining up to blame Dawkins for daring to question the righteousness of the Koran.

Why don't you invest in a new dictionary? That old Chambers is showing its battering.

Let me bring you up to date:



In which case, when talking about science and Islam, my concerns about Dawkins's ambiguous use of the word 'alien' are entirely valid.

[Exi5tentialist]

This is how Nazi Germany started.

I didn't know that! I'll have to read me some history some day. Maybe von Papen's memoirs for a starter?

Yes maybe that's a good idea. Read some Sartre at the same time (it'll expand you mind a bit).

I suspect DAwkins has an even older dictionary than me.

[Exi5tentialist]

Actually I suspect it's the OED on an iPhone, so there's no excuse really, is there?
