“Intelligent design” or “scientific” creationism are buzzwords created by religious fundamentalists, with the agenda to put content of 2000 year old religious books into our children’s school science curriculum.
Dawkins just takes apart all the religous arguments, shreds them into pieces. Watch the video “the purpose of purpose”.
I have seen discussions, where poor scientist just could not lower themselves to argue on the same level of demagogic obfuscation as the religious dogmatists, and thus looked bad. See the following example of a scientist that was too shy to counterattack.
Evolutionary theory has yet unexplained gaps. Therefore we need to be open-minded and to offer out children alternative theories, like “intelligent design”.
Biological knowledge of embryonal development has unexplained gaps. Therefore we need to be open-minded and to offer out children alternative theories, like “stork theory of child delivery”.
The geology of the earth is still not fully explained. Therefore we need to be open-minded and to offer out children alternative theories, like “flat earth theory” and “hollow earth theory”.
Same about alchemy in chemistry classes, astrology in astronomy classes, and witchcraft in medical first aid courses.
If Dawkins is too fiery for you, follows a very cool scientific analysis of scientific creationism
The following video explains:
Theory is not “guesses or hunches”, as in lay people language. Theory to a scientist means explanation, logical constructs of tested hypotheses, facts, laws.

I watched some of the 24 videos, they are very scientific and concise and clarify things even to a well informed person like me. Very recommended, the vidoes. Some are a little bland and scientific talk, but very informative.
Each of these videos debunks one important argument of the creationists. In all detail and in depth. If you watch all these videos and still remain creationist, then your religious faith really is unstoppable and resists any proof to the contrary.

***yawn***
just another guy desperately looking for attention. atheists are the most miserable people on earth, because they are going thru life just against something, not for something
er, before you conclude that the bloke is correct, true intelligence requires that you hear out the side of the religious first
remember, true intelligence presupposes due process and openness
science and religion are simply two separate and different means of arriving at truth
for all you know, Dawkins fits the description “irrational brainwashed dogmatism in otherwise intelligent people”
Dawkins is no different from the religious people he despises – he is also a fundamentalist

Very nice site you have here! I agree with just about everything you say.
As for the Dawkins speech, it was good. I think he’s a bit confused about the definition of “nation”. Toward the end, the showed a slide depicting a tribal dance in Africa and a Nazi march. Dawkins commented that the Africans probably actually are of the same family while the Nazis are not. In fact, those marching under the banner of Nazism are family as well, just a much wider family. Race is a superextended family and the Nazis, evil and bloodthirsty as they were, appreciated this. Blacks appreciate this – which is why they call each other “brother” and “sister”. Whites need to start appreciating this as well or they will suffer greatly.

“atheists are the most miserable people on earth, because they are going thru life just against something, not for something”
Well that isn’t necessarily true. Questioning things is still better than blind belief.

Satire is also a good response to the creationists. My favorite: http://www.venganza.org/about/open-letter/
