Hi Zone,
You may have missed my post so I thought I’d take a moment, correct a typo that may have confused my meaning, and post it again.
(i) But, you see, it doesn't sum up to zero for him. At every step creationists are attacking evolution and attempting to prevent it from being taught; and what is Dawkins? He is a teacher of evolutionary biology. This issue of God affects him directly.
Oh, and he’s not invested his life time into attacking belief in God. He’s written only one book on the subject and about five on evolution. Since about age 15 he’s spent most of his intellectual resources studying and researching evolution. Not till his 50s did he begin addressing the issues surrounding religion. I think he became interested in 1995 when he was appointed Simonyi Professor for the Public Understanding of Science at Oxford University; a position he has only recently retired from. This role, in the light of creationism, made God his business.
(ii) As a devout Christian, that’s what you might expect, but I’ve talked with people on-line who were pushed into atheism by reading The God Delusion, and two or three years back I saw a thread asking anyone who’d become an atheist from reading Dawkins’ book to respond. I was surprised at the number who owed their atheism to Dawkins.
PS, I’ve re-posted our earlier discussion because I was hoping for some feedback. Have I satisfactorily answered you’re objections?

I think the plan is simply to pin Kerry down and engage him in any reasonable discussion, but he doesn't seem interested. Kerry boasted, "Hi , are you an atheist, praise God I have been looking for one, yes I ran the others off and they will not talk to me anymore. So how you doing... what would you like to discuss?"
I asked him if there was a specific line of reasoning he frightened them away with and offered to discus the creation account and Noah's flood. So far he has not responded to my post, nor to the others. I think he's demonstrated he is not serious about having a discussion. Oh, well.
