@Joe Nation,
Like the sheriff looking in the canyons he knows the armed gang are not holed up in.

@wandeljw,
Bloody hell--Facts and the silly gravity argument as if either have anything to do with how to arrange the copulations without any formal logistical operations being too apparent. Fade it out.

Wor a plonker.

Little Mr Dawkins
With his dickie in his hand
Was asked where he comes from
And responded "In gland".

@wandeljw,
I've watched these before. That lady is rather frustrating to listen to. Dawkins, not known for his candor, is more patient than I would have been.

@failures art,
Once he mentioned gravity my patience ran out. I've already explained why that matter is off topic. Perhaps you ignored it.

One might think fm would stop scrimping and saving and putting up with crap kit at his stage of life.

Well fa--that does have the advantage of allowing you to continue spouting emotionally driven rubbish for ever and ever without looking to left or right. It doesn't do to get too scientific on this thread.

@spendius,
BTW--I have challenged the Prof to a debate on this thread and I know some of my colleagues know how to contact him. The match wande has thought fit to exercise our bandwidth on looks to be a little easier than getting in the ring with me.

I wonder if wande knows which of the parties instigated the photo-op.

@wandeljw,
I just watched the entire interview.
Thanks very much for posting it, wandel.
Fascinating to listen to & watch this never-the-twain-shall-meet exchange. Maddening listening to her constant evasions, but a very interesting interaction all the same. Dawkins is a very patient man!

@msolga,
Welcome to the thread! We recently discussed a problem with creationism creeping into government-operated schools in Queensland.

@wandeljw,
Thank you for the welcome, wandel.
Yes, I know of the situation on Qld schools & the science curriculum. Sigh.

The biggest problem we're facing in the teaching of science in Oz schools is a servere shortage of qualified science teachers to teach it. But that's another (or perhaps related?) story.

(And speaking of schools, I must get back to those reports I should have been writing before I got side-tracked by that fascinating interview! Back later.)
