In keeping with his constant attention getting shenanigans and his equally constant absconding from debating apt challengers via a barrage of illogical and excuses, the moniker of cowardly clown fits Richard Dawkins more than ever (see Send in the Clowns – Richard Dawkins Obliges).
Enter Jonathan Sarfati (PhD in chemistry), senior scientist at Creation Ministries International, who recently published the book “The Greatest Hoax on Earth? Refuting Dawkins on Evolution.” Interestingly, Jonathan Sarfati sought to publish the book by the time that the 2010 Global Atheist Convention—billed as “The Rise of Atheism”—of March 12-14 at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Center in Australia.
The most intelligent, well informed and vociferous atheists in the world, including Richard Dawkins, Dan Barker, PZ Myers, et al, were challenged to debate while their worldwide choir was gathered in one place and yet, one by one they each found excuses to cower from debate even whilst proclaiming to their adherents the intellectual superiority of atheism.
Well, Jonathan Sarfati and his book were ready to go but, as if marching in lockstep, each celebrity atheist stuck their nose in the air and ran away to hide in the comfort of those who actually congratulate and defend them for their unwillingness and inability to publically debate their views with a real life opponent who is not a straw-man of their own making.
Here is Richard Dawkins safe and
comfortable with his preferred audience
Meanwhile, the Atheist Foundation of Australia, which sponsored the atheist convention, wasted money during a time of worldwide recession and natural disaster purchasing bus ads that read, “Atheism – celebrate reason.” Come again!?!?! How do they celebrate reason whilst refusing to engage in reasoning?
It seems as if a more apt slogan would be “Atheism – Celibate Reason.”
Thus, overall “The Rise of Atheism” has given way to the furthering fall of atheism: they should thank no God for the atheistic indoctrination of children of which many of them are so very fond.
As an aside: Jonathan Sarfati is a World Chess Federation (FIDE) Master and was the New Zealand national chess champion 1987-1988 AD. He is known for playing a dozen chess games at the same time while blindfolded.
Here is his new book The Greatest Hoax on Earth? Refuting Dawkins on Evolution.
Also with a new book challenging Richard Dawkins is John Blanchard whose, Dealing with Dawkins.
Jonathan Sarfati recently moved from down under to the USA and he will surely be upsetting the Dawkinsian choir to no end. Find more of his books at this amazon link: Jonathan Sarfati books.
