After the Dawkins deluge...

I think this is worth noting as a response to a response to a response to The God Delusion. I like it even more because the author is an evolutionary geneticist; Allen Orr.

In the end, my assessment of The God Delusion is unchanged. Long on colorful anecdote and short on rigorous argument, it does much to reveal Dawkins's hostility but little to convince that he's thought deeply about the object of that hostility. It's one thing to express one's impatience with fundamentalist nonsense; it's another to think that one has accomplished significant intellectual tasks— like showing "Why There Almost Certainly Is No God."
