I understand that the man has very sensible, well thought out arguments for what he states, however i cant get over the fact that something about his ignorance/belligerence towards religion, it makes me want to hit him.

That being said, my respect for the man rose dramatically with this video, i would have struggles not to hit the woman in the face

She keeps repeating there is no evidence for macro-evolution, and keeps asking: show me the evidence of a fossil in-between species. How about some living animals between entirely different category of animals, such as mammals that lay eggs:

Roses aren't red, Violets aren't blue.
They are just a simulation, and so are you!

I'm at work, so I can't watch the video, but I am familiar with Richard Dawkins.  I don't like his hostility towards religion, either, but I do respect his scientific views and arguments.  While his argument does make a -logical- sense that there is probably no God, he has no -proof- that there isn't.  Of course, religious people have no proof that there -is-, either.  Such is the conundrum :p

One of the best cartoons I ever saw online had Richard Dawkins in it; he had just died and found himself in the afterlife.  The thought balloon above his head read, "Oh, FU...."  :)
