3. The Science of Religion and the Religion of Science

I for one often prefer the audio, and i think it should always be an option where there is a video. Its good for the bandwidth impaired and also for listening to on my MP3 player when I don't have time to sit and watch a video.

Any chance of getting an MP3 version for those of us (may be just me?) on prehistoric hardware that can't cope with Macromedia Flash?

Thanks, would love to be able to listen to it.

I sometimes think that the pope has inspired more evil than any other living person.
I've just started a petition on embryology and similar research if anyone in the UK is interested:

6. This deadly religious resistance to vaccinations

Unfortunately there are other peddlers of this dangerous nonsense. I speak of course of the homoeopathy mob. I work with an otherwise rational and intelligent guy in a scientific job. He however is looking to start a career in homoeopathy. He is dead set against vaccines and when I pushed him on the issue I got mostly vague talk about it weakening the immune system and suppressing your body's natural expression of symptoms. It was some of the most un-scientific stuff I've ever heard from someone at my company.
Homoeopathy seems to me to rely on a willing suspension of disbelief, and in most cases is fairly harmless placebo, but this aspect where it preaches against conventional medicine it is DANGEROUS.
