An outspoken critic of religion and creationism explains why he refuses to debate creationists

Personally, I think Dawkins is a narcissistic ass. And the fact that he feels it necessary to "explain" (to people he apparently presumes dense enough to wonder) why anyone in their right mind would decline to debate a Creationist proves it.

I disliked his writing style and disagreed with his arguments. I felt innate antipathy.

Is it the same werewolf that's into going to bed with unicorns?

Status: offline 		*only posting because of the mention of a werewolf* A relative was driving a delivery route, and thinks that he hit one. He was driving on I65, at 65mph - saw a large dog-looking creature running beside him. The thing ran next to him for just under a mile, cut across infront of him, and he hit it. When he stopped the car (nervously, as he didn't want to run into the large dog-ish thing) he had damage to his car that resembled the damage done by hitting a person (i.e. damage to the hood where a head would have hit on a large delivery van). There was blood, plus the damage to the car, but the dog-ish thing was gone. Chris couldn't find a body, or any place showing where the creature had gone.

Back to your regularly scheduled thread ... *grin* I'll take my sleep deprived brain and derail some other thread lol

Unicorns do not exist; they are an Old Testament mistranslation of a word that means 'wild cow'.

Yes. They go into the "created" basket, with Adam, Eve and all the rest of it.
