“Dawkins’ lack of epistemological awareness is nowhere more evident than here. He is the enlightened one. We are the ones in darkness. He explains our darkness completely. But given his explanation, he is just as much in the very same darkness. And not only will he not explain where he got the magic flashlight, he will not even admit that he has a magic flashlight. In other words, he offers an evolutionary explanation of a particular form of intellectual development, serenely unware of how that explanation applies just as much to him as to anyone else. The thought never even crosses his mind. But I can’t fault him for this really. If he is (accidentally) right, there is no such thing as a mind to cross” (The Deluded Atheist, p. 44).
