Libby Purves, apropos Richard Dawkins:
[I]t is not fair to use Darwin's beautifully evolved brain to bang the drum for your private conviction that there is nothing out there. Nobody knows. Not really.Private conviction? It's as if Dawkins had come up with the idea that wearing one red sock and one green sock at the same time was good for the hearing. And nobody would know in that case either. But there'd be the balance of evidence to go on, as well as the lack of it.
