Richard Dawkins claimed in The Blind Watchmaker that Darwinism is the "only known theory that is in principle capable of explaining certain aspects of life.” Yet when interviewed by Ben Stein, he admitted that intelligent design was a possibility ...as long as the intelligent designer wasn't God.

Stein: What do you think is the possibility that that intelligent design might turn out to be the answer to some issues in genetics or in evolution?

Dawkins: I suppose it is possible that you might find evidence for that [i.e., that an advanced civilization designed life and seeded it onto earth] if you look at the . . . details of biochemistry or molecular biology. You might find a signature of some sort of designer . . . And that designer could well be a higher intelligence from elsewhere in the universe . . .

That admission makes the assertion in The Blind Watchmaker untrue.
