As an example of the superiority of scientific evidence over eyewitness testimony
One trouble with scientific evidence is that interpretation is involved in deciding just what is being evidenced.
The trouble with Dawkins recent books is that they've already decided the evidence points to old hag. So there's nothing particularily interesting to be found in rehashing how that same conclusion is arrived at.
I bought a new copy of
The God Delusion and struggled along with a clumsy caricature of faith, upon which he built parts of his 'case'. Whilst taking particular delight in the anthropolgical experiment he cited, which concluded mankinds sharing of a common morality, I'll probably wait until a secondhand copy comes my way in this latest case.
