Edit: Obviously the story is sad, but the sadder story is the terrible journalism.

So, Richard Dawkins is doing a circuit around the states promoting his new book, The Greatest Show on Earth. I haven’t started reading it because I’m too busy with school and am stuck in the middle of Kurzweil’s The Singularity is Near. Dawkins has done quite a few high profile segments, including a spot on the Colbert Report.

Even though O’Reilly makes me cringe, this clip is still worth watching to show how the other half think.

Have a look…..

saw this on reddit today

Countains the best new quote I’ve heard in a while :

“Anything that we scientists can do to weaken the hold of religion should be done, and may in fact, in the end, be our greatest contribution to civilization.”

I know that this has made the rounds on the interwebs, but it is so good that I have to post it.

A creationist randomly stopped by my tree planting camp this summer and dropped off a bunch of pamphlets. This was the best/worst one.

if this doesn’t make you laugh, there’s something wrong with you…
