For some time now it has been my contention that outspoken scientists
atheists give rise to an increased YEC movement. The logic is simple: If
science and evolution prove there is no God, then science must be wrong.
My belief is that Dawkins' popular teachings are simply causing
"backlash". That is why I say that the scientific community has to
muffle him. In his arrogance, he is doing great harm to science. If
there is to be a war between science and religion stirred up by people
like Dawkins, we can certain that the people supporting religion are
more numerous and will win.
It is often said that we should "clean our own house" first (meaning YEC
Christianity) but I maintain that science is our house as well and we
should try to point out to Dawkins the consequences of his teachings.
Perhaps someone could get him to take a course in Psychology 101.
