OMG.

Richard Dawkins......the thinking woman's aged crumpet, doing a documentary on only the most influential and bestest scientist in the world, Charles Darwin.
I am so damned well going to watch it :pinch:

Richard Dawkins is going to hell.
He turned me into an atheist.
Yay!
He can be a bit of a knob, but mostly I think he's ok. You could have a blazing row with a man like that and then make up after :smilie4:
Were you religious before then?
Do we really think that Darwin was the bestest scientist ever.
I mean he explained stuff, fair do's and we have a better understanding of how life on Earth works. But surely other people also did stuff which resulted in the betterment of man's life.
I was religious by default but I reached (at least) agnosticism by the time I was 14.
It certainly wasn't Dawkins who confirmed my doubt. He's the Idiot's Guide To Nihilism like.
Not saying he's wrong.
No, he wasn't the bestest I suppose: the second bestest. Robert Hooke was better.
No, me neither. I like to keep an open mind and he's a bit too anti for me. He's sure there is no God and I'm happy to say there isn't until proven otherwise.Quote:

Dawkins is a cunt.
True story.
There was you just having a wee paddle as well.Quote:

Was that the purpoise of the journey or did your dad seize a romantic opportunity/whim?Quote:

Was your dad truly religious or merely spiritual/romantic?
Or was he a cunt?
