Quote:But of course, few actually agree with his definition of what constitutes evidence. Dawkins just assumes that we should all agree with him without ever explaining why we should adopt his criteria. Dogma? I'd venture to say that the majority of the science community thinks Dawkins is an outstanding scientist who understands what constitutes "evidence" very clearly. Yes, few agree with his definition - but only when you are looking at the general population. But in this same group of scientifically illiterate people about 75% believe in angels. Just about all of the science community concurs with Dawkins, and this holds more weight than the uneducated opinion of the masses.
