Question: Why won't richard dawkins debate miss south carolina teen usa 2007? is he afraid of her?

He never agreed to debate Caitlin Upton. What does that tell us? Gazoo: It's called YouTube. Most of my "research " for this question actually involved getting her title right. I assure you I have never entertained any impure thoughts regarding miss Upton.

That tells us that he doesn't do just any interview. He's picky, and I would be too.

The "Imagine her in her underwear " trick backfires.

He debates metaphorical blondes enough already; a real one would be pushing it.

It tells me that you spent far to much time looking up that name. Either that or you are a perv.

I don't know about Richard Dawkins, but myself, I have finally outgrown my irrational fear of teenaged girls. A little too late in life, though. *sighs* A little too late.

Because she's "Miss South Carolina Teen USA 2007. " I think he has more important things to do.

Why would he waste his time debating such an insignificant woman?

Why would a grown man debate with a fool teenager anyway?

It would be beneath him. They'd probably need someone there to translate to her in laymans terms what he even said.

I am certain he's afraid she'll get him to admit he believes ALF populated the Earth...................he's a fan of directed panspermia.

He knows that God has her back and will lose the debate.

Perhaps it is because it is not Mr. Dawkins job to see that every nutjob and wannabe gets free publicity by riding on his success. (((Dreamstuff)))

He doesn't have to face up to any challenges. Remember, the burden of proof lies on the religious fanatics, not the atheists. And, by the way, have you ever actually READ Dawkins or listened to any interview? Or are you just attacking a person that you know nothing about either philosophically or theoretically?

Posted by: Invisible Pink Unicorn on 2009-05-25, 15:05:56

Perhaps he only debates people who are a challenge to himself. That is like asking why a 6 ft bodybuilder would not fight a puny 6th grader.

I imagine he won't debate her for the same reason he has never agreed to debate me. It tells us he has efficient time management skills and perhaps, is even a kind person.

Richard Dawkins has got to be close to my age. As an older person I can tell you it would be difficult for Dawkins to stay awake during any such debate. Nodding off during a public appearance is more embarrassing than falling asleep in church.

Well think about it theres nothing to gain by it. If he magically lost somehow, the he'd be eaten alive for being outsmarted by a teenager. If he wins, oh wow he beat a teenager theres not anything positive that will come out of it.
