Here is a fascinating interview that Richard Dawkins had with the Jesuit George Coyne who is an accomplished astronomer and former head of the Vatican Observatory.1 Although I do not agree with everything Father Coyne expresses in this interview it is an admirable (short) defense of Theism in general and Catholic Christianity in particular from a very sophisticated intellectual within modern Catholicism.
Dawkins seems impressed and thankful for this opportunity to interview Coyne something which is exceedingly rare for him when compared to the other similar type's of interviews with Theistic thinkers (e.g., McGrath etc).
