Proof that Richard Dawkins Does Not Exist

GMJ
In his book "The Blind Watchmaker" author Richard Dawkins described a computer program he designed to simulate evolution. He called the creatures that evolved in his virtual world biomorphs. He subsequently wrote another book entitled: "The God Delusion." The following is a parody:

Biomorph1: So you think Dawkins exists, do you! Show us your evidence!

Biomorph2: OK, if you take a good look at our virtual reality, you will see that it has a rather elegant design which I think implies a designer.

Biomorph1: That is Paley-morph rubbish! Our reality is not designed. We and everything else came into being by gradual steps consisting of random mutations and natural selection. Therefore, there is no need for a designer.

Biomorph2 But what about our natural laws? Aka: our programming instructions? Where did they come from if not from Dawkins?

Biomorph1: They've always been here. Our programming instructions are a given. No one created them. They have no intents or purposes. Besides, if you postulate that Dawkins wrote said programming instructions, then who created him? A super-Dawkins?

Biomorph2: Well, I see your point. I suppose it would be silly to suggest that Dawkins came from his mother. Hahaha! You A-Dawkinists make the best arguments.

Biomorph1: You Dawkinists always seem to need an imaginary friend or creator. If Dawkins really exists, why doesn't he just show himself to clear up the controversy once and for all?

Biomorph2: I don't know the answer to that one. It is a mystery to be sure. Maybe he feels no need to prove himself to us. He is Dawkins after all and to him we are just biomorphs produced by his computer. Although, the Holy Bioble says that profit-morphs have communicated with Dawkins.

Biomorph1: Oh enough already! Are you going to believe the rubbish you read in your Holy Bioble or are you going to embrace reason?

Biomorph2: Well, even if you're right and Dawkins does not exist, the Holy Bioble would not be entirely rubbish. It does contain some excellent wisdom that has improved my bio-life immensely and its content has given me so much joy, hope and tranquility.

Biomorph1: What a load of Dawkins bat dung! You are obviously suffering from the Dawkins delusion. You should read the book by the same name, then you will feel right as rain.

Biomorph2: Well I suppose you're right. I guess it wouldn't hurt to read "The Dawkins Delusion."

Biomorph1: That's the spirit!

Biomorph2: What's a spirit?

    Dawkins is my idol - but this was very fun to read ;> (no, I do not delete alerts when I get behind...)

    Dawkins is a myth created by Creationists. Their strategy is to have an imaginary advocate of evolution so absurd they can easily disprove his Irrational ravings. For example, this so called person says that Christianity has never done any one any good in any. Later he says that abolishing slavery in the British Empire was a good thing. This was the work of William Wilberforce and the Fundamentalist Clapham Sect. Similarly Dawkins is supposed to teach at Oxford University, founded by Christians. No real person could be this contradictoery, thus Dawkins does not exist. He is simply the product of a fevered brain.

    uh-uh, we could have stopped at "Objects fall to the Earth." But people are curious. They want to know what gravity is. When they find out, they want to know how matter warps spacetime and so on. That is how knowledge grows.

    Two observations:

    1: though Biomorph2 begins by claiming "elegance" as the basis for the existence of a designer, it turns out that the real basis is the existence of the natural laws in the first place. About this: we know that "programming instructions" exist. If we know nothing else, why not accept that and stop there? Why move into the dark territory of guesswork to find out "who's behind the programming"?

    2: Biomorph1 is correct in saying that if Dawkins exists, he must come from somewhere. Why, then, is Biomorph 2 (or at least the author) mocking the point?

    HEHE... nicely done Pinn. : )
