I was hoping that the awake had a quote from him. I think I'm going to try and ask him about that and if he knew and what he thinks about it. -

Cofty, either one is an atheist or he is an agnostic. If an atheist cannot in all honesty say he is 100% an atheist then what is he? A quasi atheist? That mean agnostic. Dawkins preaches atheism while at the same holding a card back.
He is an agnostic.

I'll let you know how it goes. I'm hearing Lawrence Krauss may be making an appearance as well tonight. -

Seriously, my opinion is that any god conceived of by any religion is definitely non-existent. If, however god is defined strictly as a creator then I could imagine some extraterrestrial scientist (Outside of our universe) making universes as part of a laboratory experiment. Not likely but who knows?
I would refer to that as atheism with a special condition. There still would be evolution, no afterlife, no judgment in this world or any other of the attributes that theists ordinarily used to describe god.

Frank you are wrong. I am happy to explain why on a different thread.
Comet - Please tell us all about it.

Ask him if in reflection his contention with Stephen Jay Gould seems trivial. -

That's great! A handful of us from JWN went to see him a few years ago when he spoke at a local event. Several had their pictures taken with him. It was a very good discourse.
The nut case Ray Comfort was there with his group passing out copies of "Origins of the Species" in front of the venue for some reason. Got a copy from him. (rolls eyes)
Enjoy and tell us about it later.
