I agree. Scientists certainly take the scientific method for granted, in spite of Hume’s potent and as yet unrefuted critique (250 yrs and running).

It is tragic that Dawkins was not properly challenged. I like Dawkins’ older stuff and his work on memes is landmark stuff, but of late he does seem to have become more of a polemicist and less of an original thinker.

I suspect that a lot of it has to do with befuddlement at his earlier work not succeeding, at a popular level, to make people less superstitious and more scientific, but one never knows.
