Mr. Dawkins may be the most prominent evolutionary scientist and atheist in the world right now. He is definitely the boldest. He is constantly trying to engage the forces of religion in pitched battle regarding creation versus his pet evolutionary theories, but he rarely has takers. Though he is a brilliant and unique biologist of the highest caliber, he has not been saddled with any ties to autism or Asperger’s. One of the constants of such a diagnosis is social and emotional retardation and Dawkins definitely has neither. His theories may be misguided and full of holes, but he is not autistic.
