Descrizione
Riepilogo:The article focuses on the views of the author when he went to see Richard Dawkins in the Zoology Department in Oxford. He was gathering material for his biography of Alister Hardy. Unexpectedly, Hardy had been head of the department when Dawkins arrived there as an undergraduate in 1959. Both were advocates of evolution by natural selection, Hardy defending religion, and Dawkins attacking it on biological grounds drawn from Charles Darwin. Hardy's deeply religious nature and the apposition with Dawkins' godlessness appeared as though it might provide a good story for inclusion in his biography.
