The issue with human intelligence is we have the unique ability to argue our illogical positions with deep conviction. Dawkins is an obtuse know-it-all. Reminds me of a brilliant family member of mine who excells at what he does, but then thinks he knows just about everything about every subject in the world.

Couldn’t agree more.

Humans, people have an amazing capacity to rationalize virtually anything.

The question, objectively if that is even possible, rests in the foundations of belief.

It is the “why” that modern science won’t allow into the equation.

Dawkins is committed to materialism and as a result, the “why” is never considered. It simply is not allowed.

People don’t operate the way Dawkins and his ilk would like to believe. He would have you believe that compassion, love and altruism is a hard wired condition that you have no control over.

He and his mates are very happy in their effort to convince mankind that their questions are only an illusion.
