Professor Dawkins, when may we expect the book that needs to be written on this subject?Gould seems to envision the conflict between science and religion as some sort of scholarly philosophical discussion between C.S. Lewis and Bertrand Russell. What world is he living in? In ours, we have the likes of Pat Robertson and the Kansas School Board. There are serious, damaging challenges to science from the religious side of the fence, while scientists hardly give religious claims a second glance. The book's not a bad read; and a noble conciliatory gesture, but I think Gould has badly misread the current state of affairs in this country on this issue.
