Like, how silly is a statement like this: "Dawkins sweeps aside some of the greatest minds in history who took God seriously (Plato, Socrates, Hegel, Kant, Aquinas, Newton) because they haven’t kept up with the latest issue of Scientific American, as he has." Chopra should take a serious look at Dawkins' assertion that religion makes scientific statements, and therefore deserves scientifically rigorous analysis.
