Dallas Willard on The Dawk

A redated post.

I admit it. Dawkins is so much fun to pick on. If all Christian apologists had to do was beat up on redneck atheism, their job would be much easier than it really is. HT: Christian Cadre.

"He should not reserve his views for infliction upon a largely helpless public whom his scientific credentials and elaborate rhetorical devices will overwhelm and make incapable of any accurate assessment of argument. When he writes books like The Blind Watchmaker he is just a naturalist metaphysician, trying to cozy up to the scientists and blend into their company in such a way that his true colors will not be noticed. He takes the liberty to dress down what he calls "redneck creationism" (252), but unfortunately there are rednecks on the side of "Darwinianism" as well. He is one of the most outstanding."
