Re: [asa] Quote of the Day re: Dawkins

I felt that McGrath's book was disappointingly short. As far as I can see,
however, Orr's review blows Dawkins out of the water, and carries all the
more weight being from someone who one would have thought would be on
Dawkins's side (Orr states that "The Selfish Gene" is one of the best
popular science books ever written). Orr is also a very strong critic of
Intelligent Design and is about as devastating in criticism of both ID and
Dawkins.
