Come to Ireland Ayaan. We don't have enough smart, beautiful people

2. Richard Dawkins on The Late Edition with Marcus Brigstocke

Poor Richard. He's so lovely. We're used to seeing him in command but he's walked on to comedy turf here. Looks like he had a laugh anyway. And Marcus obviously has great respect for him.

4. The truth in religion

I don't know if I'm angry or depressed about this. I think I'm angry. I never totally bought the 'moderates provide cover for the nutters' argument but now I do. Reverend Polkinghorne is a cynical, dishonest twat who hopes people won't think very hard about what he says. We need to keep battering these people with reason. I'm totally fucked off.

6. What's the evolutionary advantage of offering your place to an old woman on a bus?

If you behave like a dick the social group upon who's help you may depend for your survival are less likely to provide that help.

8. Science can answer how questions but only religion can answer why questions

Okay then religious person, why ARE we here and what IS the meaning of life? You guys have been at it for five thousand years. What are your conclusions and what evidence can you give to support them? Just give me ONE theory (or even barmy notion)that could not just as easily have been thought up by a scientist or an atheist.
