1. Interview with Richard Dawkins: On Christmas

Comment #100336 by GhostPool on December 18, 2007 at 2:01 pm

Oh come on Matt7895, he asked the same question again and again, to which Richard gave the same answer again and again.

I did find the following line funny though: "You sound like the kind of person who sends Christmas cards to the Archers". :D

2. The age of endarkenment

When their elders set examples like that, is it any surprise that more than 30% of students in the UK now say they believe in creationism and intelligent design?

30% of students in the UK? Wow. I've just Googled this, and I found a column on a 2006 Mori poll for the BBC; only 48% of the British population accept the theory of evolution; 39% of people surveyed preferred to put their faith in creationism or ID. Over 40% believed that both theories should be taught in school science lessons. Of course I have no idea of the quality of the polling, but even if there's a large margin of error it still allows for a considerable amount of people in the UK not accepting the theory. I find it shocking and worrying.

3. An apology to Peter Kay

I read you're "comment" in the paper and didn't necessarily disagree with it, but thought it came across slightly rude, shall we say. I had a feeling it was taken out of context. I'm glad to hear you confirm this, and apologize as well, even though you really didn't have to!

4. 'God Is Not a Moderate'

Very, very good. Beautifully put, as always by Sam. I try to keep an open mind as possible, but I find everything Andrew says lacks logic and rationality. Of course that isn't surprising when one's trying to justify religion and faith.

5. You come up here and say that, Dawkins!

LOL. God's bald. You would have thought he'd give himself more hair. :D
