> To veer a little off track, I used to be a huge fan of Richard Dawkins back in college until I realized his approach just creates friction and polarization. The opposite of what he crusades for.

That's exactly what he crusades for; he’s not anti-friction or anti-polarization (on religion or any of his other pet issues), he's a zealous bigot.

> The astrophysicists have a way better approach than the biologists. It's non-confrontational.

There are plenty of non-confrontational biologists. Dawkins doesn't represent “biologists” he represents Dawkins.
