Darwin’s Rottweiler & the Public Understanding of Science

Post by Philosophy Now »

Peter Williams claims that Richard Dawkins is a good writer but a poor logician, and attempts to prove it with examples of some formal fallacies.

Dawkins has an impressive gift for marketing, ie. self promotion.

He may be a good or even great scientist, I'm not qualified to say.

He's a lousy theologian, and...

A nitwit as a forum owner.

Which is to say, he's just like all the rest of us, great at some things and not so great at others.
