Answers in Genesis are not exactly the model of a 'Godly' organisation. Take a look at the following blogs: Dissapearing Content from Answers in Genesis
Answers in Genesis Lawsuit

And an unofficial history of The Creation Museum

Wow! I'm so surprised that no one has commented on this excellent piece. Its worth getting through the german intro. Sit back and enjoy hearing 4 science heavyweights speak.

This is the second peice of media on RD.net I've watched/listened too and been thouroughly entertained and challenged. It's dissapointing to read some of the ad hominem attacks directed at the presenter of the piece - So what if he's trying to make a name for himself. If I was going to make a programme about Athiesm I would like to think that I would do something similar; and I am a firm supporter of evolution and do not believe in any diety other than 'Spinoza's God'

Well done Josh and RD for posting this. This type of content allows myself to become aquainted with both/all sides of the arguments posted within the pages of this site, and be ready and armed with replies when debating the issues.

Quotes of Note:

"Most people can't bear to sit in church for an hour on Sundays. How are they supposed to live somewhere very similar to it for eternity?"

Mark Twain

"The fight both for and against slavery in the United States was waged first along scriptural lines. . . . There was also the theory of the descent from Ham which attained great vogue and still does in certain quarters. . . . With the superseding of religion by science the battle of inequality shifted from a scriptural wording to a scientific one. Now it was no longer what "God had said" but what color, hair, and skull showed. . . . In other words, the pro-slavery faction and the antislavery one had entered the stage in new costumes. Underneath were the same bodies."

Joel Augustus Rogers

"The position I have always adopted is that much of animal nature is indeed altruistic, cooperative and even attended by benevolent subjective emotions, but that this follows from, rather than contradicts, selfishness at the genetic level."

Richard Dawkins

"I want science to be taken seriously, because, after all, it's less ephemeral--it has a more eternal aspect than whatever the politics of the day might be, which, of course, gets the lead in the news."

Richard Dawkins

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

Christopher Hitchens
