Mr. Gisse:

You need to stop posting for a while. You're so immersed
in what you think you're trying to achieve that you've
forgotten to read what your correspondent is writing,
or even worse, ignoring it altogether. Hint: seeing
everything through a haze of red is a *bad thing*.

Let's talk about Dawkins for just a moment.

Here's the opening paragraph to the Wikipedia article
about him:

"Clinton Richard Dawkins (born March 26, 1941) is a
British ethologist, evolutionary biologist and popular
science writer who holds the Charles Simonyi Chair for
the Public Understanding of Science at the University
of Oxford.[1]"

I hope there's no need to beat up on you any more
for this sort of thing.
