OK, do I laugh or cry now?

2. Dispatches: Undercover Mosque

I'm guessing that a few well thought out logical arguments against religion wouldn't sway these fruitcakes?

3. Intelligent design is a science, not a faith

"More recently, proponents of ID predicted that some "junk" DNA must have a function well before this view became mainstream among Darwinists"

- oh well, that proves it then.

"If, as an explanation for organised complexity, Darwinism had a more convincing evidential basis, then many of us would give up on ID"

- Its true. I wish there was more evidence that gravity causes the Earth to travel around the Sun to be honest. The fact that that theory fits the facts and we have a colossal amount of evidence supporting it really isn't quite enough is it? Maybe if we had a more convincing evidential basis, then many of us would give up on FIEM (Fairy Induced Earth Motion).

"Finally, Randerson claims that ID is "pure religion". In fact, ID is a logical inference, based on data gathered from the natural world, and hence it is firmly in the realm of science"

- Again, very true. When my house was burgled last year, the two theories that the police came up with were that either someone broke in, or they used a key. My claim, however, was that Aliens had teleported my possessions into their spaceship. When we found that no windows or doors had been broken, and that my flatmate's bag had been stolen (containing his key and a letter with our address on it), the police concluded that someone had used this key and information to rob our flat. In fact, Alien theft is a logical inference, based on data gathered from my house, and hence it is firmly in the realm of science. Also, science does not rule out the existence of such aliens.

Now hear my words! I am from Leeds University! And I think McIntosh is an utter cretin!

6. The problem with secularism

OK, so i've had a bit to drink and am feeling a bit tipsy. But I am absolutely, totally, completely and utterly sick of this kind of drivel. When I was young, I thought like this. Then I read some books and had a think, and realised that these sorts of arguments are like the ramblings of a drugged horse! I actually feel genuine pain when I read articles like this, to think that people can write about things, to a wide audience, when they have absolutely no idea what they are talking about. Oh the pain!!!!! (p.s. i'm getting almost all of Richard Dawkins' back catalogue for Xmas and can't wait!).

At least they don't have the severed head of Darwin. If they did I might have to kill everyone involved (!).

9. The Trouble with Atheism

Comment #13686 by tentotheminus9 on December 19, 2006 at 5:18 am

This is just painful. His conclusions are....

1) Darwin = Atheist God
2) Origin of Species = Atheist sacred text
3) Atheist have no morals, just look at Hitler!
4) Science can't prove God's non-existence, therefore you can't really be an atheist
5) Religion isn't really the cause of anything bad

Utter tripe.

But perhaps i'm being "a tad arrogant"

10. Sunday Sequence with William Crawley

I'm in my final year of a biophysics PhD at Leeds University, and I must say I am utterly depressed, although not all that shocked, by the ramblings of 'Prof' Andy McIdiot or whatever his name is. I have come across quite a few PhD student (biologists!) who literally believe in Adam and Eve. And it's not that they have looked at all the alternatives, they simply refuse to read about Darwin's theory of Evolution. It drives me insane!

Anyway, I plan to email Andy Mc-full-of-tosh and let him know my feelings. I have lost a little bit of respect for my university.
