Interesting postscript: It looks like I might get to meet Dawkins on friday (he's coming to our lab to voiceover some national geographic anatomy documentary they've been filming). So I can directly assess him. I'll report back.

Organize a class event to elaborate the most tasteful ad to put on a bus and present the winners to him.

Only if you're a stupid gentile that's willing to ignore the literal meaning of Hebrew words.
Look, the word 'created' as it's used in reference to creation, whether we're talking about DSS fragments, or Greek/Aramaic hybrids of the NT means 'ex nihilo' (literally 'from nothing'). There is no room for evolution without seriously butt raping the language.
For that matter, the same thing is true for homosexuality (and both of these arguments come from the same camp that's trying to help the bible keep up with the times). Both the OT and Paul, the best fucking Judeo-christian theologian who ever lived, are pretty explicit: Don't stick your dick in another man's bunghole (translation mine, loosely based on the Greek). What I'm saying here is that these ttlg "meets" are going to land all your asses in hell (you know who you are).
Enough of this 'the bible doesn't deny evolution' bullshit. Greek and Hermeneutics 101 folks.
