Expelled: ***UPDATE***

Friends,

This story is making the rounds quickly. [See My Previous Post.] Turns out, our good friend, Richard Dawkins has been duped yet again by Creationists. You know, I have written about Prof Dawkins and how intelligent he is, but for the life of me I cannot understand why he continues to agree to interviews for films concerning creation and Darwinism. In this story, Dawkins rails at Creationist front, Dawkins says:

Professor Dawkins, who is speaking at the Atheist Alliance convention in Crystal City, Virginia, said in an email that had he known the film’s premise he would not have agreed to take part. “At no time was I given the slightest clue that these people were a creationist front,” he said. Other atheists said they were uneasy about the way they felt they had been duped.

Darwinists are fond of reminding Christians how easily we are being duped by creation fairy tales. Yet every time I turn around, Prof Dawkins has agreed to an interview that he did not carefully research. Then, later on when he finds out the ‘truth’, he claims he was ‘duped.’ This guy is such rube!

Why does he care if he was ‘duped’? Would his views change if he knew the ‘real motives of the film’s producers’? Would he talk differently? Reason differently? Would he answer questions differently? Like when I posted that video of Dawkins being unable to answer a question. Well, of course, he was duped! And when realized who and what and where and why, well, he immediately cut-off the interview! Those Christians and their devious methods of getting Dawkins to say things on camera are just plain devilish!

Look, if the Miracle Theater is not stupid in their latest publicity stunt to rebuke KG, then I don’t believe for a minute that Richard Dawkins, published author, seer, genius, Oxford Scholar, Charles Simonyi Professor of Public Understanding of Science (READ: PROPAGANDIST EXTRAORDINAIRE) was in any way ‘duped.’ This guy is like any other person: He wants to sell books, he wants his face on film, he wants to make a buck or a pound or a euro any way he can. He wanted his name on the credits!

He is just a crybaby. He’ll claim his statements were taken out of context or something stupid like that. But why anyone would need to take his statements out of context is beyond me. He’s not ashamed of who he is. What amazes me is that he continues to be ‘duped’. He is either really naive or he is easily duped or just a liar. I’m trying to be nice, but it is just absurd to think the Prof Dawkins or any other ‘scientist’ was duped into anything. One more thing:

Paul Zachary “PZ” Myers, a biology professor at the University of Minnesota and a leading critic of creationism, reproduced on Prof Dawkins’ website a letter from Mark Mathis, a producer for Rampant Films. It says: “We are in production of the documentary film Crossroads: The Intersection of Science and Religion … we are interested in asking you questions about the disconnect/controversy that exists in America between evolution, creationism and the intelligent design movement.”

Where’s the dupe? They said it was a film about the disconnect/controversy that exists between evolution, etc. It appears to me that all the producers did was change the name of the film. What are these people whining about? Gosh, ‘if evolutionists, Darwinists and atheists think that Darwinism and evolution and atheism are so interesting, the onus is on them to show that there is anything (or nothing) to talk about. Otherwise, they should just shut up about it’ (my take on a Dawkins phrase). Seriously! What I am tired of is Darwinists thinking they have a monopoly on knowledge. That’s what I think Dawkins is really miffed at: Someone is challenging him and that much he hates. He likes it when he controls the conversation (say, in a book). He doesn’t like being challenged at all. That much is clear.
