More on Dawkins
article written by Heather.
Richard Dawkins pro-rationalist TV programme on Channel 4 is pretty good. He interviewed some real headcases and a relatively inoffensive liberal C of E bishop. If I have a criticism it is that he laid into the bishop’s belief system with more enthusiasm than the evangelical US “pro-life and pro-murder of doctors” nutters. Still, he’s not a bad presenter. Dawkins actually seems much more normal than the standard tv scientist, as he would not cause comment in the street, unlike certain other tv scientists, chosen for their visual oddities to distract the viewer from possibly boring science, maybe.
