Dawkins isn't just a scientistHe's a scienceist.
I respect him for his work on evolutionary biology, but he should stick to what he's good at. Going after religion in general is at best psychology (not his field of expertise) and at worst bigotry.
For the record, I think that 'Intelligent Design' is a load of crap, and Darwin's description of evolution is the only thing that really fits the facts.

Meh.I reckon Darwinian evolution is on it's way out. I think it's, at best, a decent rule of thumb (like the sultana pudding model of atomics or the 2,8,8,8 etc. electron shell theory).
I have no idea how it really works though. I'm more of a chemist than a biologist.
