Dawkins has disciples? Has anyone told him? I am sure he would shudder at the thought.
Dawkins has written extensively and often beautifully about the wonders of the universe accessible to an inquiring mind without any religious framework being included. This is a legitimate argument, I believe. Within his boundaries of discourse he does a good job. He does -- I think -- have a flaw in his reasoning in that he may fail to recognize the difference between the phenomenology of space, energy and time, and what phenomenology may operate outside those bounds. Understandable, since he is an heir toa long legacy of "natural" -- meaning material -- science. But he is an excellent spokesperson for that camp.
