xtianity has always attempted to subvert and hinder science. From Galileo to the HPV vaccine (or stem cell research), religious morons have always attempted to stop the human progression of real knowledge. Instead they want to pound the square peg of their theology into the round hole that is reality and cling to their bronze-age, goat-herder fairy tales.

gosh, look how nice they were to that gentleman around 4:40 who couldn't get a question out. Never see that in the U.S.

@brautigan81 Then you haven't been to a lot of college guest seminars.

[martinbondesson]

Ah yes, don't you just love it when a supposed question turns into their own little speech?

[MMAoracle]

@leftduplicity Technicall, its iron age myths ;)

[sam8110]

[hivebrain]

Higgins Possum particle.

Feel bad for that kid at 4:45, he must have been nervous and it probably made his speech impediment worse. Dawkins patient as usual.

[whyaretherenoneleft]

Combination of stuttering, speech impediment, scottish accent and the fact that he's rambling a lot of shit.

The host guy (not Dawkins) is a douche. I wish he would stop interjecting to ask his own questions.
