"Sri Lankans name new fish genus after atheist Dawkins"
"Richard Dawkins has through his writings helped us understand that the universe is far more beautiful and awe-inspiring than any religion has imagined," Pethiyagoda told AFP on Monday.
"We hope that Dawkinsia will serve as a reminder of the elegance and simplicity of evolution, the only rational explanation there is for the unimaginable diversity of life on Earth," he said.
Speechless is what I am.
I would say "now I've seen it all and I can die" except that I know better.
People like this are able to come up with an infinite variety of lunacy.
All one has to do is wait. Soon enough, something pops up (or is it "poops up"?).
Story here ......... Any comments?

It sounds more like a failure of religion than a praise to Dawkins.

Don't be so jealous Jorge, someday science will reward you appropriately.
They'll name a new species of dung beetle after you.

Then, to top off your 'gem', you call ME "profoundly stupid".
Wally, there are simply no descriptors for you - they're going to have to invent one.

I skimmed your post so quickly, I read Darwin instead of Dawkins.
I still think your reaction is a little over the top, but not as bad as I thought.
You are still pretty stupid otherwise though."The trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt."

Dawkins is famous as a popularizer of science and a proponent of evolution which hardly puts him on a level of say Newton or Einstein as being "one of the most respected scientists in history." Originally posted by Wally

ReutersRichard Dawkins told the press 'This new fish is definitely the missing link we have all been searching for. It is the ancestor of not only Mexicans and frogs , but also of tadpoles. '
