“While most non-fundamentalist Christian traditions have largely accepted evolution, Islam was still much more hostile, he said. “It’s the fact that Islam teaches the Koran is the literal word of God, unlike most Christian sects, which say the Bible is largely symbolic. That could well be the cause.”

Yes, the HUMANISTS, that don't realize they are humanists compromise on evolution. The dopes don't realize that to accept evolution REQUIRES, yes REQUIRES the accepting of the evolutinionsit premise that THERE IS NO GOD.

This is one Creationist that will NEVER accept evolution. Evolution is a Sci-fi fairy tale. Islam is also a Creationist religion. Even Islam knows evolution is not possible.

Here's what the dope has to say about God:
The God Delusion is a 2006 bestselling non-fiction book by British biologist Richard Dawkins, professorial fellow of New College, Oxford,[1][2][3] and inaugural holder of the Charles Simonyi Chair for the Public Understanding of Science at the University of Oxford. In The God Delusion, Dawkins contends that a supernatural creator almost certainly does not exist and that belief in a personal god qualifies as a delusion, which he defines as a persistent false belief held in the face of strong contradictory evidence.

He is sympathetic to Robert Pirsig's observation in Lila that "when one person suffers from a delusion it is called insanity. When many people suffer from a delusion it is called religion."[4] ...

Dawkins had long wanted to write a book openly criticising religion, but his publisher had advised against it. By the year 2006, his publisher had warmed to the idea. Dawkins attributes this change of mind to "four years of Bush".[10]

(Yeah, he doesn't want to wake up those Humanists that really want to believe they are Christians.)

... According to the Amazon.co.uk website, the book led to a 50% growth in their sales of books on religion and spirituality (including anti-religious books such as The God Delusion and God is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything) and a 120% increase in the sales of the Bible.[13]

(Yes, the Bible is still the most popular book despite these egotisical despots.)

...

The God Delusion is not just a defence of atheism, but also goes on the offensive against religion. Dawkins sees religion as subverting science, fostering fanaticism, encouraging bigotry against homosexuals, and influencing society in other negative ways.[26]

He is most outraged about the indoctrination of children. He equates the religious indoctrination of children by parents and teachers in faith schools to a form of mental abuse. Dawkins considers the labels "Muslim child" or a "Catholic child" equally misapplied as the descriptions "Marxist child" or a "Tory child", as he wonders how a young child can be considered developed enough to have such independent views on the cosmos and humanity's place within it.

How anyone that is rational can deny God created all because of His incredible Intelligent Design is a major fool. Pss.110:1 [1] The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool. Rom.1:20 [20] For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: I don't beleive I will be spending eternity with Dawkins UNLES he wises up and accepts Christ.

—Actually, many, perhaps most, evolutionists do believe in God. Including many of the leading Darwinist scientists: Francis Collins, Kenneth Miller, Keith Miller, etc.
