I referred to dawkins quoting keats/wordsworth and setting up a false conflict between art and science, as he has set up a false conflict between science and religion...this may make you sick to your intes- gut but there strong evidence the scientific method evolved out of christian thought - and at the very least out of christian educational systems - the greeks did not experiement -
