I will state categorically that the audio tape of the interview 100% supports Gillian Brown’s contention that Dawkins couldn’t answer the question
Of course he couln't... one would have to have a thorough definition of "information content of the genome" to proceed. First, it must be established what is meant by information (a point that has been firmly stressed to Garrett in this thread).
Not all questions are well defined, and as such they cannot receive answers that are both concise and truthful.
To claim that Dawkins was "stumped" is pure dishonesty and utterly ridiculous. I myself would have made a good attempt at discussing the question, and I have .0001% of the knowledge of Dawkins in this area.
There is only one thing I hate more than Dawkins' evangelical atheism and that is the blatent dishonesty displayed in such creationist propaganda, especially when in the same article, the honesty of Christians is stressed. I am ashamed.
