This is the kind of headline I’d expect to see from the Onion. If only it were so…

Well hes a pretty damn smart guy. I love how your main picture is of the bacterial flagellum, your supposed "irreducibly complex" structure. No surprise there that its in bacteria though as they are the oldest living things on this planet. The most complex structure was intelligently designed into simple bacteria? And us humans just get opposable thumbs, wah wahhh.Joealtle

And Hitler was Man of the Year on the cover of Newsweek, I think. And wasn't Saddam Hussein, in more recent times. It was some ogre. I expect the electors were, ironically, the cast of a reality show.Axel

Pretty sad state of affairs if RD gets #1. Influence? Influence over who about what? What about Alvin Plantinga, who would shred Dawkins in any debate? Plantinga has had huge influence too, but I'll bet his name wasn't even on the list of 65. The "honor" is dubious at best...totally comical at worst. In short, meaningless. If a first year logic student could shred the world's #1 thinker's arguments, which any first year logic student could do, how does he merit that rank? Did this come out on April 1st?DonaldM

That's proof of cultural erosion. The article said Paul Krugman and Steven Pinker were on the list nominees(?). It's a sad day in the west.bb

Exactly what is called the world's top thinker? Consciousness and thinking are mere illusions according to - the roulating collection of particles which is called - Richard Dawkins ...Box

Always a thinker, never a do-er. If mere words, memes and thoughts were evidence, Richie D would be a top contender. And it looks like many people think that his words, memes and thoughts are evidence. Kind of sad, actually.Joe
