  • Dawkinite:

    (1) A fanatical follower of Richard Dawkin's ideas, opinions and beliefs (2) A meme created by Dr Mike Sutton that is an explanation by analogy to show that all Darwinists are very much like Christians because they believe in the miracle of Darwin's and Wallace's dual and independent, immaculate conceptions of a prior published theory, whilst surrounded by admitted influencers who had read it - and so whose minds were fertile to some unknown degree with Matthew's original ideas. Sutton explains that this is perfectly analogous to Christians believing that the Blessed Virgin Mary conceived the child of a supernatural deity whilst surrounded by men who were fertile to some unknown degree.
