Peter Higgs criticises Richard Dawkins over anti-religious 'fundamentalism'
As reported in The Guardian, Higgs has chosen to cap his remarkable 2012 with another bang by criticising the "fundamentalist" approach taken by Dawkins in dealing with religious believers.
"What Dawkins does too often is to concentrate his attack on fundamentalists. But there are many believers who are just not fundamentalists," Higgs said in an interview with the Spanish newspaper El Mundo. "Fundamentalism is another problem. I mean, Dawkins in a way is almost a fundamentalist himself, of another kind."
He agreed with some of Dawkins' thoughts on the unfortunate consequences that have resulted from religious belief, but he was unhappy with the evolutionary biologist's approach to dealing with believers and said he agreed with those who found Dawkins' approach "embarrassing".

Nancy, Richard Pearcey to lead Francis Schaeffer Center at Houston Baptist University
Best-selling author Nancy Pearcey and writer-editor J. Richard Pearcey have teamed up to create the Francis Schaeffer Center for Worldview and Culture on the campus of Houston Baptist University.
The purpose of the Francis Schaeffer Center is to "promote foundational research and out-of-the-box creative thinking based on historic Christianity as a total way of life informed by verifiable truth concerning God, humanity, and the cosmos," according to the FSC mission statement.
The Center is named for noted author Francis A. Schaeffer, whose work with wife Edith at L'Abri Fellowship in Switzerland won international respect for giving an "honest answer to honest questions." Time magazine hailed the Schaeffers' work as a "Mission to Intellectuals."

Dr. William Lane Craig was a guest voice in The Washington Post recently.

We are a group of individuals, coming from diverse backgrounds and not speaking for any organization, who have found common ground around teleological concepts, including intelligent design.
