I find it it 'trying' to maintain an interest in something that's abundantly evident.
I do feel however, that Richard Dawkins is a scientist who has unfortunately come very close to turning evolution-by-natural-selection into a religion. He is one scientist who I believe, 'argues religiously'.
Perhaps it's just Newton's Third in action.

I wonder how Dawkins would react if he was invited to join the Pontifical Academy of Sciences.
Many brilliant minds, your master Ed Witten and Stephen Hawking are members. A host of atheists and Nobel prize winners all appointed by the Pope. Sounds like a paradox.....
