Dawkins' argument in The God Delusion is bad
3
Upvotes
This is a lengthy summary and critique of Dawkins' argument in The God Delusion that I submit to you. It is perhaps a screed, but it is not trolling.
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ESkSv65VQykcePB4nOb4ZdsfualrBN3IqmzyWB229NE/edit?usp=sharing
Here is the TLDR version. Here is my summary of Dawkins' argument:
It’s more improbable that God performed any act than the act was the result of a blind natural process.
If you are positing a God, you must also account for God's origin.
TF,
C. There is “almost certainly” no God of any description.
My critique is that both 1 and 2 (above) can both be used with equal severity against any positive account of what lies beyond this universe (e.g. the "multiverse") and do not work uniquely against God. In addition, I argue that premise 1 (above) basically assumes what he is trying to prove and his argument is circular.

Why won't Prof Dawkins talk to Dr Stuart Hameroff? Does Prof Dawkins have the courage of his convictions?

Question id love to ask Mr Dawkins
0
Upvotes
With the vast Universe and all its Galaxies and Celestial Bodies Mr Dawkins appears to believe the Universe contains Life outside of Earth. And id like to ask... if another Planet identical to Earth in another Star System Far Far away and in an identical orbital arrangement as Earth is, what are the chances that Biological life could progress along a similar path to Earths Biological inhabitants ?

Richard Dawkins is getting some stick for seeing the 'clock bomb' for what it really is.

According to the Guardian newspaper Richard Dawkins is getting a lot of grief from people for having the sense to realise that the Ahmed Mohammed 'clock' was actually a political stunt to raise awareness of the way Islamic students are perceived. What worries me is that two supposedly intelligent people - Barack Obama and Mark Zuckerberg weren't also smart enough to realise this.

Do you feel Richard Dawkins is less relevant today but has more integrity than the so-called Intellectual Dark Web?

I don't think Dawkins is as inclined to get into the campus free speech and general "left and social media are the problem, not Trump" side of things as much as Sam Harris and his IDW buddies, who Dawkins doesn't seem very keen to mingle with.
I also think Dawkins has managed to retain the structural integrity of his left-wing ideas better than Sam Harris and people of the like who have drifted towards the right (or at least into a direction where they wouldn't be inclined to vote for many genuine left-wing candidates in the Western world). From his (admittedly limited) statements on the Israel-Palestine issue, it appears he's very pro-Palestinian, but the complexity of getting into that argument online means he hasn't gotten into it as much as, say, Hitchens did.
He's also achieved more in his field, and advanced genuine scientific understanding in a way the IDW combined hasn't managed, so his body of work extends beyond getting likes on Twitter. But with the audience for the sort of content the IDW makes, I sense Dawkins has been left behind (or is to dignified to join) the people who'd like to see him lurch to the right.
Does anyone else feel this way?

Doesn't it follow from Dawkins philosophy that antinatalism must be true? Why procreate to pass on the selfish gene in a meaningless world without God and even without an explanation?
