I love it when the clergy use logical fallacies. In the first minute I noticed fallacious appeal to popularity and tradition. Sigh.

I must agree with the previous comment. It seems to me that the hosts did not prepare for the interview. The music was also completely unnecessary.

Quotes of Note:

"The patient typically finds himself impelled by some deep, inner conviction that something is true, or right, or virtuous: a conviction that doesn't seem to owe anything to evidence or reason, but which, nevertheless, he feels as totally compelling and convincing. We doctors refer to such a belief as 'faith'."

Richard Dawkins

"Most of what we strive for in our modern life uses the apparatus of goal seeking that was originally set up to seek goals in the state of nature."

Richard Dawkins

"Nothing can be more contrary to religion and the clergy than reason and common sense."

Voltaire

"What can be asserted without proof can be dismissed without proof."

Christopher Hitchens

"…the individual organism is a very important unit in the hierarchy of life…But however unitary and discrete an individual wolf or buffalo may be, the package is temporary and unique. (pp. 216-217)…"Abraham was left in no doubt that the future lay with his seed, not his individuality. God knew his Darwinism."

Richard Dawkins
