The Dawkins clip is particularly disingenuous.
Dawkins mentions that panspermia (life being transferred to Earth from life elsewhere) is a possibility, and some voiceover immediately says:
"wait a minute, Richard Dawkins said that 'intelligent design' might be a legitimate pursuit?"
No, he didn't.
Dawkins than points out that the source of that life would itself have needed to arise and evolve by ultimately explicable means... no magical entities allowed... and that's followed by a voiceover saying:
"So Professor Dawkins is not against intelligent design, just certain types of designers such as god".
Did you miss the bit immediately above saying that panspermic life would itself have needed to arise and evolve by ultimately explicable means... no magical entities allowed?
That's because 'god did it' isn't an explanation of anything... it doesn't even explain itself 😂
