More on God vs. Science

I just happen to have started reading Evolution as a Religion by British philosopher, Mary Midgley a couple of days before reading the article "God vs. Science" that I blogged about yesterday. The summary of the book on the back jacket says,

Considered one of Britain's finest philosophers, Midgley is notorious for exposing the illogical logic of a science turned poor doctrine. Never more at home than when taking on the high priests of evolutionary theory--Dawkins, Wilson and their acolytes--she famously described evolution as 'the creation-myth of our age.' In Evolution as a Religion she examines how science comes to function as a substitute for religion, and then exposes it as nothing more than a magnificent sham.

In chapter three she writes, "The arguments for our own faiths, including faith in science itself, lie outside science too. If we have the impression that our own faith needs no argument, being simply self-evident, this is merely dogmatic slumber." She is not debunking evolution as a scientific theory, she is challenging its mythic use portrayed as science. In other words, she is not challenging evolution as science, she is challenging many claims about the nature and meaning of the world that are supposedly based upon evolutionary theory.

This attitude of science as religion that Midgley describes comes through loud and clear in Dawkins statements to Collins. He strikes me as a "science fundamentalist" who won't brook any disagreement with his view. If you have had a chance to read the article, do you think my characterization of Dawkin's attitude is accurate?
