I believe the Bible is the word of God – not the word of Peter Culbert. So no, I do not believe you have any authority to tell us what the Bible means. But if you want to say I don’t believe in the magic Bible of magical Christians then I would agree with that.
Dawkins seemed quite able to consider that possibility to me. He just hasn’t found a reason to believe it.
I don’t buy into the idea of evolution as a mechanism or a matter of design either. Evolution is simply the learning process. It is true that machines can be made to use evolutionary algorithms and the learning process. But the evolution of life is the activity of living things responding to the challenges and changes in their environment. And unlike Dawkins, I believe that environment includes God, for just because we have the ability to learn by ourselves doesn’t mean there is no teacher.
