1. Chimps beat humans in memory test

Comment #93857 by ShellShock on December 4, 2007 at 10:30 am

It is a pity the researchers used numbers in the tests, as some may see this as evidence that the chimps were counting, whereas in fact they are remembering a sequence. No doubt they would perform just as well recalling a sequence of abstract, meaningless symbols. But counting it is not.

2. Evolution IS a Blind Watchmaker

Does any one know the name of the music track that is playing in the background?

"I don't quite understand something. I always see people complaining about Dawkins et al "tone" of their arguments against religion and the existence of deities....To me, it looks like ANY kind of argument against the supernatural deities is the "wrong" tone, so I'd like to know how all the faith-heads think we SHOULD say it?"

I think religious people may see Dawkins' tone as derogatory and disrespectful at times. For example, like you, he has used the term "faith-head", which could be viewed by some as an insult, although it does not bother me.
