With all due respect...

Click here: Scientific American: Scientists on Religion

Richard Dawkins of The Selfish Gene is manic about his atheism.

How does he know?

He was on Think Tank some years ago.

I mentioned that USA Today a pretty good newspaper (not McPaper) when it comes to pop sociolgy, cited a study that showed that Believers live longer, healthier lives than Non-Believers.

That figures. They believe they know what comes next, and are not worried about it.

He growled, and dismissed the notion out of hand.

Pushy-Me: I then asked whether if Believing might extend the life of one his children, would he advise same.

He then came as close as anyone on the program --- twelve years and counting --- to flipping out.
