Tie, it seems to me that Dawkins finds science a wonderful excuse to ignore anything he doesn't care to think about. If you use the trilemma, Jesus logic pans out.

That's not actually a quote from George W. Bush, but were he able to speak in complete sentences, he might have said that . He wouldn't understand it, but he would have grinned like he did if he was so instructed. http://boskolives.wordpress.com/ A nice variant on “Don’t confuse me with the facts, I’ve got my mind made up”.

A Rabbi once told me that it was because the law of shatnez- the one that says you can't wear wool and cotton together- was so oviously insane that it proved his faith. Its like reaching into your own skull, pulling out your frontal lobes and throwning them aside. "I won't be needing those!" Keep up the good work.
