Lily,
Can you please elaborate what you mean by your use of the word "generous"?

That he can do so while being so generous in his assessment of Dawkins as a scientist and a writer is, I think, really refreshing.

Note: Bolding mine
Are you saying simply that he is praising Dawkins a lot, or are you implying that he is overstating Dawkins' abilities? |
He heaps lots of praise on Dawkins. He was blown away by some of Dawkins' early work and still values him as a scientist. He is not persuaded by him as a philosopher, however, and makes a good case rebutting Dawkins' "scientifically grounded" atheism.
