"It is absolutely safe to say that if you meet somebody who claims not to believe in evolution, that person is ignorant, stupid or insane (or wicked, but I'd rather not consider that)."

Dawkins can go a little overboard on the anti-religious fervor at times. However, I think that's because he -- as a world-renowned authority on evolution -- sees religion as the only reason people could possibly doubt evolution.. and he's right. More than 99.9% of scientists with advanced degrees in relevant fields (i.e. people who actually know what evolution is) accept evolutionary explanations. Those who don't (including our local PhD anti-evolutionist) don't make biological arguments against it, only silly logical or mathematical ones.

Remember the old saying, "no matter how much anti-religious fervor you have--it's never enough!"
