I was quoting Richard Dawkins quoting an editor of New Scientist magazine. I even linked the debate. Its not a new issue, its a very divisive issue, and I think that sums up the opposition quite succinctly.

For further context this discussion was between Richard Dawkins and Neil Degrasse Tyson at the "Beyond Belief" panel discussion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-_2xGIwQfik

I know, but quoting the most inflammatory thing an inflammatory figure has said is unconducive to substantive discussion. The last thing we want on HN is binary ragewars between people who identify one way and people who identify the other.
