1. Letters: Theology has no place in a university

The letter that was printed underneath, from one Reverend David Heywood, was a typical masterpiece of ecclesiastical superciliousness. He claims it is impossible for Dawkins to not believe in God without "a working knowledge of the philosophy of science and religion, epistemology and metaphysics". The implication seemed to be that, unlike Dawkins (apparently), the good Reverend does have the necessary qualifications to draw a fair conclusion on this matter.

So what, then, is Heywood's evidence for the existence of God? He doesn't say.
