Dawkins’ Delusions
Dawkins outlines the particular set of delusions of the atheist.
His primary delusion is to think materially using his scientific reductionist training and claim,
“Creative intelligences, being evolved, necessarily arrive late in the universe, and therefore cannot be responsible for designing it”.
The Quraan has a beautiful verse:
He is God, the One and Only; the Eternal, Absolute; He neither gave birth nor was born and there is none like Him1. Dawkins cannot comprehend this possibility. He thinks any “intelligence” has to be “evolved”. This is the first aspect of the Dawkins Delusion; the inability to perceive beyond his own specialized training. We all suffer this to some extent, but not necessarily when it come to belief in God. A fish may insist that his God has to live in water, as all the fish known need water. The realities of the universe cannot be reduced, limited or constrained to what can be found with the tools of science. To the fish, the creatures outside the watery realm are like the angels and the jinn to the human. They are seldom seen or encountered and because they exist in a different medium, the scientist easily rejects their reality.
The fish transported to a fish tank for a few years and then returned to the wild would perhaps preach to his fellow fish, “I have seen another world beyond our world. There is another existence. I have experienced another reality”. The fish scientists would observe, “Ah ha! Subjective experience. He is deluded. This was a hallucination. His experience cannot be proven with the tools of science and therefore does not exist.”
The deluded atheist, quoting Dawkins, says,
“ . . . it is founded on local traditions of private revelation rather than evidence . . .”
To use Dawkins’ expression2 such dyed-in-the-wool science-heads are immune to argument (in favor of a reality beyond what science has to offer), their resistance built up over years of childhood indoctrination using reductionist, materialistic methods that took centuries to mature.”
Notes
- Say: "He is Allah (the) One, Allah the Samad (the Self- Sufficent, upon whom all depend), He begets not, nor was He begotten, and there is none comparable to Him.'' (112).

- Or course, dyed-in-the-wool faith-heads are immune to argument, their resistance built up over years of childhood indoctrination using methods that took centuries to mature.”
