The Four Horsemen: Dawkins, Dennett, Harris, Hitchens (6/12)

God is not much of a creator if his creations have to eat each other to survive

Well, he's certainly a creator, but not a loving one.

Hmm, but it also made eating really fun...

Hitchens 'not much of a deisgner' re: dead planets. Why would you assume a creator WOULD create every planet teeming with life? Why would that be a superior creation to this one and in what sense? Secondly we know that all those dead planets (and dead galaxies for that matter) must exist, in close to the exact manner that they do, in order for one life-sustaining planet to exist. Could it be different, if God so willed? Sure. SHOULD it be, for any concievable reason? No

Harris: "is there anything in ehre that oculdn't have been written etc." - in the case of Koran or other holy books, no. In the case of the Bible, yes, or at least, it would be infinitely unlikely that the ancient authors would have known, or accidentally guessed, that the universe was finite, expanding, and accurately described the chronology of 'creation' events

The men on the planes on 911 were well educated and middle to upper middle class.

If by "upper middle class" you mean "financed by Osama Bin Laden but still completely cut out of the global marketplace as legitimate players" then yes they were upper middle class. Yes, the Taliban and others provide access to money, and they are about the only way to acheive any semblence of "wealth" in those countries. There is a difference between having money and having wealth, those people have no legitimate wealth and are only paid so long as they continue their lives as terrorists.

What source are you drawing that information from?

dennett is clearly deadwood here, kinda seems outta his depth...harris comes across as a bit too smug, dawkins is like a mad professor which would love to build a death ray and kill all the christians...and hitchens...well hitchens has that richard burton attitude,whiskey in one hand cigarette in the other and that honey combed oxford accent...ha ha love the guy and im a christian
