1. The God disunion: there is a place for faith in science, insists Winston

Comment #34944 by Physicus on April 25, 2007 at 4:20 pm

This discussion prompts me to throw in a separate but related observation regarding the relative ranking of Lord Winston and Professor Dawkins on the 'establishment' acceptability scale; in the UK at least. Specifically, is there significance in the fact that the National Portrait Gallery has in the last year exhibited both a large oil painting and poster sized photo of Winston, while keeping its two 1990s B&W photos of Dawkins in store (they have no painting on file). Goes without saying as a keen artist and atheist myself I'd be happy to do my bit to put that right!

2. Was there ever dog that praised his fleas?

I find myself in something of a dilemma. I'd like to read these, but at same time can't bear to put money in these guys' pockets
