I don't know how Richard Dawkins managed to do that interview and keep a straight face, by the end of the interview I wanted to smack her smug mouth and poke out those crazy eyes, and I'm not a violent person.

The problem isn't what people don't know, it's what they know that just ain't so.

I managed the first 1 min 57s before feeling exactly the same!

 

I'll watch the rest when I'm drunk, then, when I wake up I'll think it was just a strange dream :wallbash:

Eating wild caught fish is good for my health, reduces food miles and keeps me fit trying to catch them........it's my choice to do it, not yours to stop me!

Perhaps fortunately, even with the sound turned up, I couldn't distinguish what Daisy Duck was saying !

I tried and I reckoned to get more sense out of the mallards on the local park lake!

 

What a load of self-satisfied rubbish!

thats the trouble with not letting evolution follow its own path ,the stupid carry on as well :rolleyes:

Believe NOTHING anyones says or writes unless you witness it yourself and even then your eyes can deceive you

None of this "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" crap it just means i have at least two enemies!

 

There is only one opinion i listen to ,its mine and its ALWAYS right even when its wrong

 

Its far easier to curse the darkness than light one candle

Grangers law : anything i say will  turn out the opposite or not happen at all!

Well, she threw down a challenge at 1:30 in the last video and it's one that he's been presented with many times.

 

He presumably decided to rise to the bait when her wote his latest book - "The Greatest Show On Earth: The Evidence For Evolution".

 

I've read some of his back catalogue and want to find time to read the rest before I splash the cash on this one but I'd be interested in the opinions of anyone who has read it.

I havn't read that one yet. I have read 'the god delusion' . In which he argues against any religion having a place in an enlightened society, pointing out that it is the liberal 'soft' churches that provide a basis for extremism or fundamentalism and literalism. I agree with him on that point, and that forcing religion onto children is a form of abuse.

Yep, I read the god delusion and the selfish gene.

Of the two, the selfish gene was the more stimulating work despite being 20 years old.

 

I fancy reading the blind watchmaker and unweaving the rainbow at some point in the not to distant future.

I don't get it Ken. The evidence to support the Theory of Evolution is overwhelming. Evolution is a fact, just because Wendy Wright and her ilk don't like the fact makes it no less factual. When she says 'not just a theory, but a fact' it is plain to me that she does not understand what the word 'Theory' with a capital T means in science. In science a Theory has to be a coherent explanation that holds true for a large number of facts and observations about the natural world. It has to be internally consistent, based upon evidence, tested against a wide range of phenomena and demonstrate problem solving. A theory is not, as many members of the public think some half baked idea, some unproven conjecture. Edited by corydoras

Just to underline what Cory is saying:

I am not alone in being a Christian who believes in evolution. It all depends on your interpretation of what is written.

I must underline the story of creation in the Bible - It says God created the world and all in it in 6 days? Man is still evolving, so the statement that we are created in His image could still explain this statement. If one of Gods days is, for example (no-one knows) a million years, then the world (and it's inhabitants) are STILL evolving!!
