Your Maj, could you point out which of these papers was refuted sufficiently to be withdrawn or amended Dawkins? Or is it possible that you aren't looking at Dawkin's full CV?

You should see the 'references' for the scrolls which make up the bible. They don't stand up to ANY scrutiny.

Thank you for that. Some observations:

Most of these were published before 2000; the few after 2000 do not look very scientific.

These make him look like yesterday's man. No wonder he moved into spoofer land.
Dawkins' (2004) is not a refereed paper btw. Viruses of the Mind. How many minds did he cut up to get his data?

Dawkins, R. (1997). "The Pope's message on evolution: Obscurantism to the rescue". The Quarterly Review of Biology 72 (4): 397–399. He should have sent this to the Times or the DM. Not academic

and so on.

Thanks for the list though. I won't save it as I have all this joker's publications already.

ps: I have his full CV too.
If you ant a legitimate, heavyweight, God hating atheist, try Steven Weinberg to slow me up. Please spare me chancers like Dawkins, Hitchens, Harris and Bertram Russell.


Here is Weinberg's publication list. No comparison: find au weinberg, s - Search Results - INSPIRE-HEP

I wonder if the non-academic "professorship" Dawkins received for propagating science (or whatever) was funded by any of his former colleagues. I imagine Dawkins with his ego would have been very hard to work with, probably an absolute pain. I have few doubts the appointment would have been greeted with some delight as he was now out of the faculty where real scientific research is pursued.

His gig was financed by space tourist Charles Simonyl on the condition Dawkins confined his position, essentially a glorified museum keeper, to propaganda. The post did not involve and teaching or research. Oxford, i nthe past, has accepted funding from convicted Nazi war criminals so don't expect high standards.

They were very circumspect about the nature of the job. Thinjk Ghaddafi's LSE funding and his son getting the (plagiarised) PhD and you begin to get the picture. Think Daire O'Briain presenting comedy shows and maths programmes and you can see his rigour.

You have obviously bumped into him. How is he keeping ?

I think a very close second to the OED for the worlds most dangerous book is any poorly written Law/Statute book.

His bank balance is going well. His list of refereed papers is as flat as ever.

Daimler-Benz funded the Nazi party, would that make you think that Mercedes cars aren't up to high standards.

Mary, I would suggest a different tact in a discussion about scientific standards, than to attack Oxford University's scientific standards.

Gracie, didn't you even look at LamportsEdge's post?

You think Leviticus is mental- wait till you cop Saul Peter's foamings on the subject of women

You must think Hammurabi's Code, the Iliad and the Bhagavad Gita are hilarious then. Are you not just confusing wisdom with hindsight? Those crazy ancient folk, eh?
