Dawkins stumbles

Periodically when I follow the RSS link to Dr. Mike Adams' articles, I end up somewhere else. This time, I read the entire article before I realized it.

It seems that Dr. Dawkins has again accepted an invitation to debate a theist. This time, it further appears that he tried to rig the debate, and deny his opponent a real opportunity to refute his theory. Picking a columnist with this hope proves to be foolish. Mr. Dinesh D'Souza shows how Dr. Dawkins stumbled in thinking that Mr. D'Souza would not have a chance to refute his (Dr. Dawkins') poor logic.1 Dr. Dawkins excuse is probably that as this happened on Al-Jazeera, and not a more reputable news source, his slip will be missed.

PS: Judging from the datestamp in the URL, I would say that Dr. Dawkins was correcting in assuming his slip would be missed by most people.
