But I somtimes wonder why Dawkins does not speak about the eartern philosophical traditions in light of his darwinian thinking and he focusses mainly on the abrahamic monotheistic religions. Darwin is too intelligent and informed to be ignorant of philosophical systems like buddhism and sankhya. He just provides lip service to these systems and dismisses them as ethical and philosphical systems and not as religions.

They chose Michael Behe, (the cretin, oops creationist!) to write about him! What were they thinking? He even says something to the effect of "whatever the validity of his ideas" in the article that's supposed to be praising Dawkins. Time has degenerated into a low-lying conservative rag while posing to be a progressive news source. It's definitely not worth the paper its printed on. That's probably why Dawkins wondered why he was chosen. I profoundly respect Richard Dawkins, and I found the recent Time magazine piece on him an embarrassment.
