& that is supposed to be an adequate statement of the traditional Christian understanding of God? For starters, Dawkins' argument is possible only if one rejects the traditional belief that "God is altogether simple" which (e.g.) Aquinas discusses in S.T. I, Q.3, A.8. In fact, the first objection which Aquinas cites to the claim that God is altogether simple has some similarity with Dawkins argument.
