For me, the worst think Dawkins said (in a televised debate with a creationist) was about eye evolution, because he seemed to imply that our imaging eyes evolved from cephalopod-type imaging eyes, rather than from the non-imaging eyes of hagfish-like proto-vertebrates, just because of a superficial resemblance between the two (mainly brought about by convergent evolution). This error did nothing to further the cause of atheism in biology.
