@garwboy thou art snarky

Sophie Waring ‏@atinybitwaring Jun 5

@garwboy Love this and I think @TheSarcasticOwl will too!

Pam Smith ن ‏@revpamsmith Jun 5

@garwboy Good point well made

Spooky Dead-ney ‏@eastwood1427 Jun 5

@garwboy I think the better response in this case "was it actually what he said? No? Then I'd probably ignore it if I were you."

Sophie Waring ‏@atinybitwaring Jun 5

@garwboy Although to be honest, not sure I would pay attention to what Dawkin's says about Evolutionary Biology either!

Emilie ‏@paintsandsings Jun 5

@garwboy @Colvinius Can you put it into a venn diagram please

Dean Burnett ‏@garwboy Jun 5

@eastwood1427 it wasn't about Evolutionary biology in any case, so better safe than sorry.

JoshJamesShrouder ‏@TheRoguishType Jun 5

@garwboy comments taken out of context do not constitute a reason for making this article. Article is useless.

Spooky Dead-ney ‏@eastwood1427 Jun 5

@garwboy This is true. But still, I'd rather berate someone for what they do say, rather than what they don't.

Marissa VU ‏@Marissavu Jun 5

@garwboy Boring world if we just ignore everyone asking questions/connecting ideas outside their official trained profession.

John Allsopp ‏@johnallsopp Jun 5

@garwboy @Colvinius I guess by that standard none of us should be listened to about anything. Probably about right.

Marissa VU ‏@Marissavu Jun 5

@garwboy FLOWCHART: Should I pay attention to what Richard Dawkins was (misquoted as) saying?->Depends. Evaluate the idea, not the speaker.

hilarie lang ‏@hilarie_lang Jun 5

@garwboy @Colvinius Not confused about what to think of you. Facts: boring, don't spawn retweets. Lie-based snark gets attention. Parasite.

Heather Tomlinson ‏@HeatherTomli Jun 5

@garwboy @alokjha Yep. His science books are great. His religion books are dire.

Andrew Dalby ‏@ardalby71 Jun 5

@garwboy @jamesgraham can I suggest an addendum. If he is talking about genes and molecular evolution he is also talking bullshit.

TruthSeeker ‏@VeritasEver Jun 5

@garwboy @Colvinius That saves the tiresomeness of reading/hearing some of his rants ...

Mark Colvin ‏@Colvinius Jun 5

@hilarie_lang Try some logic. On biology, Dawkins, as @garwboy says, is without peer. On theology, he's just another guy.

Andrew Dalby ‏@ardalby71 Jun 5

@atinybitwaring @garwboy exactly he is a bit hazy on those gene things, he might be ok on behaviour and ethology.

Tim Rust ‏@tim_rust Jun 5

@garwboy @Colvinius Yes - beware of "false authority syndrome" being an expert in something doesn't mean you know everything
