Has the BBC ever released these lectures (Not just Dawkins', all of them) on DVD. I remember watching a couple in science lessons when I was younger, but now I'm really in a position to appreciate them, I want them back on TV.

"Debate between Ricard Dawkins and Francis Collins,
DAWKINS: To me, the right approach is to say we are profoundly ignorant of these matters. We need to work on them. But to suddenly say the answer is God--it's that that seems to me to close off the discussion.
TIME: Could the answer be God?
DAWKINS: There could be something incredibly grand and incomprehensible and beyond our present understanding.
You seem to have missed the end of this quote. According to the very source that you cite, it is:
"DAWKINS: Yes. But it could be any of a billion Gods. It could be God of the Martians or of the inhabitants of Alpha Centauri. The chance of its being a particular God, Yahweh, the God of Jesus, is vanishingly small--at the least, the onus is on you to demonstrate why you think that's the case."
I hate it when people don't give the entire quote, so it looks like it is in their favor.. grow up, and search evidence for your point of view..good luck with that

You might already know but just in case you don't they are called Straw Man Arguments. Wikipedia 'Straw Man Argument' for full details.
