Dor, what are you talking about?! Megan never quoted Dawkins, and the reviewer that she quoted never quoted Dawkins! The only original source material here is what I quoted, "A Keats and a Newton, listening to each other, might hear the galaxies sing." How in the world could that be construed as a false argument to advance an agenda?

I find new words challenging, not wince-inducing. In my post, I was careful to speak for myself. You're welcome to nurture your pet peeve.
