'They' have posited to Dawkins in interviews that science can only declare upon what it knows to be fact etc, so when asked 'how can you be so sure' when it comes to god he usually gives a smiling mildly sheepish 'it seems too unlikely' etc, which I agree with, and I agree with his points about all the crap that goes on in its name (even if it does become a case of 'don't shoot the messenger'). Hell I don't know if I'd even want there to be a god.
I mean Dawkins goes on about the likelyhood of chocolate teapots in space (or something), but scientists used to not care because their conviction was too great, and they were too busy with reality. God to them was just 'hokum'. Care about the horrors people do to each other, yes, but why conflate it all?
Hope I make some sense:-)
