Paul,

Professor Dawkins is welcome here, even if he only watches and plays no part in our discussions.

If he decides to voice an opinion on any particular subject, then he is guaranteed a polite reception and response. He is just as able to give a layman's opinion on physics or cosmology as I am to give one on evolution or geology.

We on this forum have nothing to fear from Professor Dawkins and he has nothing to fear from us. If he wants to genuinely debate something, then this will be accommodated here.

I hope that this answers your question.

Neville.

Since I posted this, I've spent some time on his site as I am interested in hearing that debate -- evolution vs creationism c 198?. I see that since that debate he has resolutely refrained from debating creationists -- at least on that subject -- thus the likelyhood of him taking up such an invitation is probably slim to none.
It would seem to me that if he were to accept such an invitation, it would only be on non creationism vs evolution subjects. As I still am unaware that he has any particular expertise in cosmology, would you be happy for him to participate on these conditions?

This is an interesting proposition. However, as I understand it, he is principally concerned with evolution and that is not what this forum is about. I've assiduously avoided the opportunities to pursue this subject here on those grounds. If he is concerned with cosmology however -- I have no idea as I'm only faintly aware of a few of his views -- and if you specifically request it, I would be prepared to approach him with that invitation. I've never interacted with such a high profile person -- it could well be an interesting experience. I doubt however that introducing evolution to this forum would be a positive step.

Yes, please do. It would be a pleasure to have him on the forum. You would also have an ally, and a high profile one at that. Go for it, Paul. The idea of organic evolution is not off limits here.

Neville.
