It's so cute that suddenly Daily Mail is so supportive to all Muslim immigrants. Wasn't Pat Condell just talking about it?

2. Richard Dawkins on Doctor Who

I'm actually quite disappointed. After all this hype I thought he would have some impact on the story, high five with the Doctor and stuff, not a 10sec soundbite saying something that was not too surprising to say the least...

I hereby declare myself a religious scholar. Let's get back to business now: Muhammad blows.

It seems to have caught up. Never mind NPs, it could be awesome in bringing science closer to people.

5. Richard Dawkins on The Big Questions

There is NO such thing as moral inferiority of the Brits to any other nation or society. People can learn from each other this and that, but the first person that tells you that there is something fundamentally wrong about you and you gotta fix yourself is probably pushing his own bigoted agenda. Seriously, when will Brits finally start opposing this? If anyone claims higher moral ground, ask him where in the world his values are implemented and think whether you prefer that or Britain.

Of course there is ascent in moral values. A few decades ago a genius mathematician who made such a great impact on Allies winning the II World War was ruthlessly persecuted for the offence of being gay. Of course Britain today is morally far superior than that!

In the end, I really admire Richard for being able to be kind in front of these people. It must be very hard not to get outright pissed off when confronted with such amount nuttery.

6. Biologists Take Evolution Beyond Darwin Way Beyond

Comment #156246 by mcek on April 7, 2008 at 7:27 am

Evolution is a better version of the second law of thermodynamics, of time-zero, which implies that things are going to degenerate until even the atoms fall apart. But maybe that's not the way it's going to play out.
