Richard Dawkins Believes in E.T.

I think there is some serious misunderstanding about the difference between 'God' and 'little green men who created man'. I would hope that I do not need to offer you a definition of 'God' but it seems that I do: God= the supernatural being conceived as the perfect and omnipotent and omniscient originator and ruler of the universe.

There is a HUGE difference between claiming that the said 'God' created the universe, and saying that 'little green men' who EVOLVED to become so scientifically advanced that they were able to seed the world and 'create' man. The difference comes in the concepts of the two beings. God is omnipotent and omniscient and always was (at least according to the religions I'm familiar with). Aliens are physical beings, like you or I, who simply have the knowledge and have evolved the ability to create another set of beings. Dawkins' aliens don't claim to be all-powerful and all-knowing and ever-existing. Dawkins' idea (and I stress that is it simply a fleeting idea and not that he really believes that little green men created life on this earth) has scientific grounds. The 'God' concept, however, has NO scientific grounds.

Also, when asked about why Dawkins refuses to enter into debates with these creationists he stated that it was because he does not want to give them and their beliefs any credence. He compared it to a geologist, who knows and has all the scientific proof that the earth is round, entering into a debate with a geologist who believes, even without evidence, that the earth is flat. Pseudoscientists like the ones who want to debate with Dawkins do not need nor deserve any recognition, especially from an esteemed scientist like Richard Dawkins.
