A beginner's guide to being an atheist, by Richard Dawkins

[Into the Night]

I think Dawkins is under-equiped to be a leading atheist spokesperson for science.

Dawkins denies science. He is not an atheist.

He's just a zoologist. He doesn't have any expert training or education in the fundamental physical and biological sciences.

Science is not a credential. Courtier's fallacy.

He doesn't understand physics and cosmology, and he doesn't seem to have any formal education in cellular biology and biochemistry. Those are the core scientific disciplines that allow one to speak authoritatively about life, the universe, and everything.

Science is not religion.
