Daniel : In the Old Testament, an upright judge, & a person of infallible wisdom; thence the proverb “A Daniel comes to judgement”.
... apocalyptic thereby? A typical example of the genre is the Book of Daniel, nowadays dated between 167 and 164 B.C., a scripture of which Jesus can be proved quite cognisant. Daniel's Messiah is at the same time "the son of David" and the transcendent Saviour. When Jesus was on trial for his life, Matthew 26:64 makes him quote Daniel 7:13 and the very title Jesus preferred for himself during his life... life was Daniel's "Son of Man". What does the Book of Daniel illustrate? Doubtless, it has a general relevance for all ages when the City of God is under onslaught, but we should do well to hearken to the wise words of Dougherty: 53 "One should sedulously avoid twisting the imagery of Daniel to fit situations never intended by the author. All too many, even now, engage in this ill-advised... ill-advised and unscientific endeavour. The beasts and the symbols of Daniel represent the Chaldeans, the Persians, the Greeks, and his centre of interest is that paragon of persecutors, Antiochus IV Epiphanes. To interpret these figures in terms of medieval or contemporary history is to make a plaything of the Word of God and to employ the venerable authority of the Scriptures in the cause of whims ...

Both Koons and Berlinski are outspoken critics of Darwin, as is André Pichot who terms the awe in which Darwin and his work are held “the Darwinian mythology.” Daniel Dennett, on the contrary, is another ‘arch-Darwinian’, but he too has to admit that “no one knew better than Darwin himself the importance of anchoring a revolutionary theory in the bedrock of empirical... of those who were paying attention that many Darwinists were not simply disinterested scientists; they were definitely presenting a new worldview.” 48 And David Berlinski writes sarcastically: “Daniel Dennett’s assertion that natural selection has been demonstrated ‘beyond all reasonable doubt’ must be judged for what it is: the ecclesiastical bull of a most peculiar church, a cousin in kind to ...
... zealous atheist scientists, mainly biologists, is increasing steadfastly. Some telling titles are: A Devil’s Chaplain and The God Delusion (Richard Dawkins, 2003 and 2006), Breaking the Spell (Daniel Dennett, 2006), The End of Faith (Sam Harris, 2006), God is not Great (Christopher Hitchens, 2007), God – The Failed Hypothesis (Victor Stenger, 2008). In all these books religion is presented... charlatans. They are derided on practically every other page written by the positivist reductionists, who do not mind to flaunt their ignorance of such foolish if not cretinous matters. Take for instance Daniel Dennett, the American philosopher in the Dawkins camp. He concedes: “I simply do not know enough about religions to write with any confidence about them,” but the attacks them nevertheless with candid... God, why are they talking so much about him, and this in statements which read like final verdicts? “I simply do not know enough about religions to write with any confidence about them,” we remember Daniel Dennett confessing, but he composes all the same an ample polemical volume on the topic. “Imagine someone holding forth on biology whose only knowledge of the subject is the Book of British Birds ...

It stands to reason that scientists of... addresses the readers somewhere in the middle of his Dawkinsian book as follows: “Dear reader, if you have come this far and found your faith undermined – as I hope …” 67 Another kindred author is Daniel Dennett, who wrote Breaking the Spell – Religion as a Natural Phenomenon “to get his readers to think and not just to feel.” His central policy recommendation is “that we gently, firmly educate... × Susan Blackmore: op. cit., pp. 53 ff., 7, 65. × Daniel Dennett: Darwin’s Dangerous Idea , p. 150. × id., p. 369. ...
