Un-Enlightenment - redux
BBC NI’s Will Crawley is having somewhat of a Creation Weekend [to atone for past sins? - Ed]. On Sunday Sequence, 9am Radio Ulster, he will be discussing this “dramatic serialisation” of the Book of Genesis.. and before that he’s visiting the Waterfront Hall where the founder of Answers in Genesis USA, Ken Ham - previously mentioned here - is hosting an 2-day event. Do tell us if you spot any NI Executive Ministers there, Will. Some of us like to keep an eye on what they’re up to with the Giants Causeway.. What with The Un-Enlightenment already being promoted elsewhere.. Adds pauljames, in the comment zone, points to this additional piece of information - “Also, please remember all the speakers in your prayers--particularly as Ken will be meeting with members of the Northern Ireland Assembly Government. He will also be doing interviews with the BBC.”

The Devil’s Delusion: Atheism and Its Scientific Pretensions
by David BerlinskiI did give the reference and I find it amazing the way the would be atheists dneer sat a book that would have to be at least as good as the non scientific screeds of Dawkins, Hitchens, Harris et al.
Popper was right when he said evolution is not a theory. It should not be taught in schools unless it is as light relief (towel and hand cream stuff that it is)
Has Dawkins ever written a serious scientific paper? Say one on ethologym not a general kick the pope one, but one actually adding to scientific knoweldge.
Methinks he prefers the simplistic rants we see here. Politics in Ireland has not been about religion. It has been about the Brits using the Orange spawn for purposes of oppression and genocide against hte native abroiginals of this island.
The same process happened in India under the bisexual Battenberg pervert. Some goons have wantched to omany Gandhi propaganda movies.Posted by on May 13, 2008 @ 07:32 AM‘Popper was right when he said evolution is not a theory.’
That’s right -evolution is fact and is accepted as such by almost all biologists, scientists, anthropologists, paleontologists , on the planet and I mean this planet in case you inhabit some other :(
‘Politics in Ireland has not been about religion.’
Not entirely but nobody doubts the significant role ‘religion’ played in the historical outcomes which we currently enjoy on this island .
I recall an Oliver Cromwell who was ‘moved’ by an Anti Catholic ‘spirit’? The there was the great Daniel O’Connell who delivered Catholic Emancipation. In recent times we have seen a Cleric i.e Rev Ian Paisley elected as FM of NI .
I’d suggest you read Jared Diamonds - ‘The Third Chimpanzee’ and watch Patrick Moore’s recent program on BBC re ‘We just don’t know’ for the age of the universe .
