Science is based on falsifiable evidence; Religion is based on no evidence at all

Science is based on falsifiable evidence; Religion is based on no evidence at all, just Faith.

Richard Dawkins, the God-bothered scientist and author of The God Delusion, was in fine form last week. Not content with taking on Him above, Dawkins, has been sparring with his old friend Fay Weldon.

Weldon, a Christian, told Pendennis that she was a great admirer of Dawkins, and said of his staunch atheist stance: 'I think he makes this his religion. He's a passionate fundamentalist atheist. So it's a position I recognise. It seems to me to border on the faith so closely.' Do they argue? 'No, actually we get on.'

Over to Dawkins. 'I do admit to being passionate, but I'm passionate about things for which there is evidence, whereas religious people are passionate about things for which there is no evidence because they read them in a holy book.'
