Materialialism V Intelligence: Darwinism V God

By Malgwyn | November 16, 2009

“Any creative intelligence, of sufficient complexity to design anything, comes into existence as the end product of an extended process of gradual evolution” something Richard Dawkins emphasises in The God Delusion (p. 31). So, should there be a God, he would have had to have been the end product of the chain of evolution. He [...]

CMI Review of Dawkins’ Greatest Show On Earth

By Malgwyn | November 10, 2009

“The Greatest Show on Earth.” Says CMI, “ This is the title of well-known antitheist Richard Dawkins’ new book. His reasoning for producing this latest effort is that he feels that his previous books did not quite mention enough “evidence” for evolution, and as he says “…it seemed like a good gap to close”.
“Dr Jonathan Sarfati [...]

Dawkins & New Atheists An Embarrassment to Atheists

By Malgwyn | November 9, 2009

The New Atheists  (they are the militant atheist evangelists like Richard Dawkins) are under attack in the Guardian. “Dawkins et al bring us into disrepute,” says the Guardian title. It reflects the divide among atheists. “There’s a schism alright, and I seem to find myself on the unfashionable side of it.” Says Michael Ruse, “There [...]

Christians Are Not Like Dawkins Would Have Us Believe

By Malgwyn | October 30, 2009

I’m not a Baptist but I married a Baptist - her parents were Wesleyan Methodist - for their family the Baptist chapel was nearer. I have attended a few Baptist services in my time - and some preachers go on for an hour but the congregations don’t seem to mind, and at times I haven’t [...]

Dawkins Dodges Stephen Meyer on Design Debate

By Malgwyn | October 26, 2009

After my last post, Signature in the Cell and Darwin’s Bicentenary, I called at my local Waterstones but was surprised to be advised it would be easier and quicker to get Signature in the Cell through Amazon. Just surprised to be told that. Post free, and cheaper too it seems!
But I see that Dawkins might have [...]

“Signature in the Cell” & Darwin’s Bicentenary

By Malgwyn | October 15, 2009

Back to Richard Dawkins - he has a definite dislike of anything different from his view of origins.
It’s a few years since I read Darwin’s Black Box  - a fascinating read. I didn’t think anything could be more convincing on Intelligent Design - but seems Stephen Meyer  has stepped up the pressure in the Darwinian/Intelligent Design [...]

Atheism’s In Trouble

By Malgwyn | August 26, 2009

“Atheism is in trouble. You can tell because its most eloquent spokesmen are receiving icily critical reviews in the very mainstream press that Christians often dismiss for liberal bias.”
“You can also tell that atheism is in trouble because it is becoming increasingly intolerant.”
“The New Intolerance. Fear mongering among elite atheists is not a pretty site,” [...]

Richard Dawkins & The Christian Family

By Malgwyn | August 4, 2009

It’s very difficult to let go of Dawkins after reading The God Delusion. Perhaps I never will. It is not just that he is such a persuasive writer who is so anti towards Christian ideals but is so anti towards Christian parenting - they are accused of child-abuse for teaching their children Christian ideals. I [...]

Dawkins & Superstition III

By Malgwyn | July 31, 2009

A Resume of Martin Luther’s Change of Heart and How We are Put Right With God
In my immediate previous posts one and two I responded to Professor Dawkins’ view of what he understands as ‘a personal experience with God’ (TGD, p. 87-92), with my own contrary views. Here I will finish with my view [...]

Dawkins & Superstition II

By Malgwyn | July 31, 2009

In my previous post, re-Dawkins understanding of a ‘personal experience with God’ (TGD, p.87-92), I express the thought that far from superstition there is something more powerful and good going on in human experience when Christians talk about having an experience with God. (Atheist Matthew Parris  recognized something inexplicable when real Christianity is observed in [...]
