I know this discussion is about free speech, as Richard and others have rightly pointed out, but there is something else in this article that peeves me. The writer calls the other side "pro abortion". I personally don't know anyone who is pro abortion.
My daughter has a 16 year old friend who was recently raped by her grandfather and got pregnant. Since she has spent a lot of time at my house, we are fairly close (no father figure in her life) and she asked me what she should do. Her christian mother wanted her to have the baby, it's god's will. I counseled her to have an abortion, she did. I drove her to the clinic and paid for the services. Am I pro abortion? No, it was the second-worse thing that this child had to endure next to the rape. She was traumatized and terrified by the whole experience. To say that she or I are "pro abortion" turns my stomach.
What I am is anti-rape, anti babies having babies, pro sex education,and pro free and readily available birth control. No, I am not pro abortion, I am a supporter of women (and girls) having the right to control what happens to their bodies and to do so without guilt or shame. I bet the speakers that the writer is talking about are not "pro abortion" either. /rant
p.s. Once the mother found out she had an abortion, she threw her child out of her house. The girl is now living with her aunt (who happens to be an atheist). Both these women are the daughters of the rapist.

Go to: Edge challenges leading thinkers to name their 'favourite explanations'

Relatively (small pun) soon, there will be a Theory of Everything and all these others will pale in comparison. Hopefully, this will occur in my lifetime.
But my favorite explanation has to be Natural Selection. It is magnificent in its simplicity, anyone can understand it, and yet majestic in its ability to explain how life evolved. Life, the most important aspect of our existence. And of all theories, it's the one that the most people would want to disprove and yet is still stands, 150 years old, unblemished.
