To Dawkins, not to lot of other people. the old testment has lots of very good and helpful insights an proverbs....Ben Franklin was found of using them in Poor Richard's almanac -
A merry heart doth make good medicine. .. - how long did it finally take medical science to find that out - and many still don't beleive it!

No because he turns science into a type of religion and embarrasses a lot of scientist by inflammatory rhetoric, name calling, polarizing people - making a simple either or debate - confusing religion and science ...- in short all the things scientists shouldn't to when talking about science...
Religion isn't science...but what Dawkins and his followers don't get is that
Science Isn't Religion.
