Misrepresenting Darwin (Evolution)
Dawkins ... not unusually ... bases his argument on a distortion: "[i]Evolution[/i]," he says, "[i]is the creator of life[/i]." No it isn't. "[i]We know, as certainly as we know anything in science, that this [/i][= Darwinian evolution] [i]is the process that has generated life on our own planet[/i]." No it isn't. Darwinian evolution did NOT create or generate life. Darwinian evolution is the process that took over once life had been created/generated. Dawkins states his case as if it were based on scientific fact, but neither he nor you nor anyone knows how life was created/generated, and [b]that[/b] (not Darwinian evolution) is the point at issue. While I understand your kinship with Dawkins, George, it baffles me that you can condone such misrepresentation.- Here is a rather critical review of Dawkins latest book. The reviewer likes Kenneth Miller's book, which I think has misinformation:-http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg20327256.400-review-the-greatest-show-on-earth-by-richard-dawkins.html
