I hate to brag but, in high school I not only took chemistry, but biology as well. With my own hands, I dissected not only a worm, and a frog, but even a fetal pig. If memory serves, my final grade was no less than an A- in either semester of a full year course.

With that in mind, I am happy to praise my colleague Richard Dawkins as an accomplished biologist. And yet, I'm afraid this article is not his best work.
