    If any one is interested, there was an interesting article on the "Focus" a BBC mag about Atheism, Richard Dawkins and Evolution V Creationism.
    Its way too big to copy and paste here so I provide a link below.

    Thanks for those. Here's some detail of Lenski's rebuttal to the creationist for those who missed it at the time...

    Are these arguments with creationists generally, or young-earth creationists in particular?

    If the latter, why do so many atheists bother? These people are mostly fools.

    If nobody challenges the fools, they'll only create more of them.

    And you have to admit that it is a lot of fun arguing against new-earth creationists.:pac:

    I disagree. I think refuting them repeatedly gives them credibility they don't deserve.

    Really? I find it gruelling. Same rubbish again and again.

    Yah, it does get very repetitive, very quickly. But, when having an argument, nothing feels better than to know that you're right. That's why I enjoy debating young-earth creationists so much, I suppose.

    I believe Dawkins feels the same way.
