        Great responses by @RichardDawkins. I totally agree with Richard. Very critical points.

        Poor uneducated Dawkins (prof only due to a donation of a billionaire atheist) has no arguments, yet he attempts at philosophy.

        If both logic and all available data support one side of the argument, what other evidence can we ask for... a divine revelation?
