# RICHARD DAWKINS
I'VE READ EMPIRICAL STUDIES ABOUT SCIENCE BUT I WON'T QUOTE ANY OF THEM, I'LL JUST TELL YOU MY OPINIONS INSTEAD WITH NO ACTUAL EVIDENCE, OK? THERE IS EVIDENCE THOUGH.

# Good, me too.
Just wondered why you SHOUTED your 'opinionz' as you put it.

Are you an Oxford Professor then?

# I wasn't shouting
I was writing in the style of Dawkin's book covers.

I'm not an oxford professor, but I am a scientist and academic, and I value opinion backed up by empirical data, rather than simply opinion. I know he refers to some studies that support his arguments, but he rarely cites them, just speaks in very general terms, which I don't think lends any credibility to his arguments, even though I agree with a lot of his opinions.

# Ok,
I am a strong supporter of his work and ideas and feel he backs them up very accuratley when asked. (he rarely gets the chance) I think he also has to speak in general terms, as many people have 'blind' faith that clouds thier own judgement.

We should agree to disagree i think.
