Buy the God Delusion — highly recommended!!!

By Admin | Published: March 11, 2010
“…I have written elsewhere that The God Delusion makes me ashamed to be an atheist. Let me say that again. Let me say also that I am proud to be the focus of the invective of the new atheists. They are a bloody disaster and I want to be on the front line of those [...]

Glaciergate – should the public trust scientists? What about Darwinism?

By Admin | Published: January 26, 2010
Occasionally polls are taken and results published, and we find which groups in society are perceived to be the most trustworthy, according to society. The findings usually show something like: we trust doctors and firemen, but lawyers, used-car salesman, real estate agents and politicians, are, um, not very trustworthy.
