Mariano concentrated on how Meyer would be a great foil to Dawkins and gives proof by talking about Meyer's most recent book on the design of the cell. Chad provided a transcript of Dawkins appearance on Michael Medved's show where he basically says that neither Intelligent Design or Creationism have enough respectability for him to debate. That floored me. He has made a career denying their ideas, yet refuses to interact with them directly. I think it's because he knows he can't win.
My addition to this is that although I disagree with much of what Bill O'Reilly thinks but one saving grace is that he disagrees with Richard Dawkins! Here is video I found on video.
O'Reilly has bad theology but at least he stands up to Dawkins.
Will Richard Dawkins Debate Stephen Meyer?
Richard Dawkins turns down Dr. Stephen Meyer's debate Challenge
Though i'm thankful that Dawkins placed himself in the midst of opposition, I was pretty embarrassed by O'Reilly. I hope Dawkins will one day get set up with someone worth their salt. Probably the best i've seen was the exchange between Dawkins and Lennox. But I still thought that was weak. I guess you just can't win with Dawkins.
