Week 6: Discussion Question #2
When it comes to religion, people can get offended easily and it is not
a topic I discuss regularly. I believe every person has their own belief and we
do not have the right to tell them whether they are incorrect or not. Evolution
and a belief in God are incompatible to the claims of Dawkins and beliefs of
Aquinas. Dawkins keeps pointing out the fact that Aquinas believes God creates
everything. Yet, he cannot provide proof that there is something else or
another force at work for everything that is on Earth right now. If he could
prove that God does not exist, then his argument for evolution would be valid
and more believable. If Aquinas were alive today, he would probably tell Dawkins
to provide proof that God did not create everything and our existence.

I know what you mean, I feel like religion is one of those topics along with abortion or political views that you would not want to bring up at a dinner date. I try and do the same thing as you and stay bias because there is no point in getting into a never ending argument with someone. But, when looking at the articles I noticed as well that Dawkins did not provide enough evidence or support to disprove Aquinas belief that God creates everything. Just that alone, did not help him in trying to disprove the existence in God since he was not able to give evidence that there could be something else for everything in our world like you said.
