- No, Dawkins does not think Science will prove there is no god. Basic logic: you can't prove a negative proposition in the absence of complete knowledge. - He was not happy with the title of the series: he does NOT say religion is the root of all evil. Channel 4 wouldn't change it, the best he could do was get a question mark in the title (which is conveniently left out here). - as for the arguments about scientists etc... just go read the book? The classic example was Einstein, who used "God" in a pantheist non-Judeo-Christian sense, and spent the rest of his days fighting the way his name was used to justify religion. Yes, he did say that in so many words. - understanding of religion... nope, he's quite familiar with the way religion in England has enlightened theologists, and has had many rewarding discussions with Archbishops & Cardinals. Don't think he was quite ready for that Haggard character, though - now we know more about him, don't we? The book is far better and more complete than that short TV series, made over a year ago. Read it before bashing it, eh?
