Dawkins Renounces Darwinism As a Kind of Religion And Embraces Form

In Scoop Independent News, Susan Mazur reports that atheist evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins spoke to a packed auditorium at Manhattan's Ethical Culture Society recently night about his best-selling book, The God Delusion. He admitted in a Q&A that followed of being "guilty" of viewing Darwinism as a kind of religion and vowing to "reform" (no one was allowed to tape Dawkins' confession, however, with organizers of the event threatening to march offenders around the corner to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints). She met up with Richard Dawkins the night before at Barnes & Noble in Tribeca where he told her in front of an audience of roughly 200 people (tape recorders were allowed) of the importance of the role of form in making a proper theory of evolution. Dawkins has long been associated with the gene-centered theory of natural selection.
