dawkins seems unaware that the term 'scientific' has many meaning.
'science' can mean any systematic body of knowledge, and communists
have misappropriated the word and the concept

dawkins, of course, not being an original thinker, gets sucked into

gee. wasn't aware that we couldn't solve a murder. after all, no one
is generally present when a murder is committed. yet they are solved
every day. how?

by evidence. by logic. and the big bang is solved by evidence and
logic.

what we DO see is the post modernist destruction of knowledge by
creationism. trying to 'prove' how scientific god is they first have
to destroy science. ironic.
