10 years ago, nobody doubted evolution in the UK. It was regarded as a fact on a par with gravity. Only since evengelical sects have started putting cash into faith schools and Muslim schools started springing up too have we seen this retarded shite.

is there a torrent about for this? 4OD doesn't work here :tantrum:
Outside the ordered universe is that amorphous blight of nethermost confusion which blasphemes and bubbles at the center of all infinity—the boundless daemon sultan Azathoth, whose name no lips dare speak aloud, and who gnaws hungrily in inconceivable, unlighted chambers beyond time and space amidst the muffled, maddening beating of vile drums and the thin monotonous whine of accursed flutes.

There is, but it's yet to be verified or anything - so don't know if it's real or quality. http://www.yourbittorrent.com/torrent/1 ... enace.html

And people don't get why scientists won't pipe down :roll:

The misinformation campaigns carried out by religious believers is despicable... it's incredible what lengths they'll go to.

I just watched this.... it was OK, but I would have preferred a bit more to sink my teeth into. It didn't tell me anything I didn't already know in detail.

I find it very rantworthy when I see this sort of stuff. I like RD, but he is so damn calm and placcid, seeming to allow people to walk over him. I know he has the occasional intellectual dig at these arseholes, but he never lays into them in the same way as, say Christopher Hitchens or Sam Harris seem to. That Catholic dude (or was it the Protestant? Who fucking cares?) looked like he wanted to punch Dawkins's lights out. Ugh.

Thanks, downloading now. I will let you all know how it is.

She was their fucking science teacher! I could not believe it. :banghead:

It's clear they haven't been taught any real science - the girl that talked about the Koran having answers about things that science has only just discovered - like sea water and drinking water never mixing!

:wtf:

There's no excuse for it really - I'm shocked that the government let this happen - they had a chance to make all schools secular, but instead they made more faith schools. But I suppose that's what Blair wanted. :nono:
What's really sad is when you remember how muslim scientists wrote a lot of the world's earliest and greatest treaties on math, medicine , chemistry, and other sciences.
