This was quite a sad part of the article:

“His pathogenic hatred of theism is illustrated in research by Professor Paul Vitz, who did a study of academic atheists like Richard Dawkins.

Vitz concluded that academic atheists are likely to have had a very destructive relationship with their father or were molested as children.[21]

Dawkins admits his experience of sexual abuse by a teacher at his junior school.

Also, at his senior school, Oundle, he was forced to fended off older boys who tried to climb into his bed at night.[22]”

The school still promotes the practice of Christian values and maintains strong links with the Church of England by celebrating the major events of the Christian calendar. All pupils who board are required to attend services in the school chapel three times a week: one midweek lunch time service, Friday hymn practice, and the Sunday service. Pupils of other faiths are free to worship according to their own beliefs but must still attend chapel with the rest of the school.

I would go further and call them anti-theists, not just atheists. An atheist merely does not believe in God, while an anti-theist actively proselytizes and evangelizes against God. Dawkins is the latter.

Scratch an anti-theist and you'll find a bad family upbringing with no father or an abusive father. (Stalin was originally a seminary student.)

Question For evolutionist

Created species by genetic manipulation do exist that's why you can even now patent

And certainly as science advances completely genetically engineered species from scratch will exist..

Science will be capable of pure intelligent design species

So by what Scientific methodology will you be able to test whether a species is intelligently designed/created or Naturally evolved

If you don't have such a test something was created versus something evolved you can't make the assertion that you've proved anything

2nd question

how does evolution address gay(and all are other new none reproducing new gender) as gay don't reproduce they can't be passing on that genetic trait to create more gays.

Non reproducing you can't for participate in the natural selection lottery
