Dawkins on the BBC - Sunday 9th December

"Our guest on the Have Your Say programme on Sunday 9 December will be Professor Richard Dawkins. He is an outspoken atheist who says science explains the world better than religion."

BBC link

The comments section is full of the usual logic-free nonsense from various believers, some of whom can't have read "The God Delusion". They haven't gone unanswered, mind you.
Over 1,000 comments awaiting moderation so probably not worth posting there.


"This programme is a live, global phone-in and email programme broadcast simultaneously on BBC World Television, World Service Radio and on the BBC website." - it will go out just after 1400 GMT.

No doubt, but the US does spend a lot of time in a world of its own ...

Why are so many people seemingly obsessed with insulting my home? I see it and hear it almost every day and now it's even on my favorite forum.
