About the bit where that evangelical teacher person says that it’s hypocritical for Dawkins to shun teaching anything but evolution–I think It’s kind of funny to debate since Dawkins is an established biologist himself and probably knows more about evolution than the guy criticizing him.

Also, at the part about evolution being a fact and the religious speakers rejecting that as closed-minded: I think what Dawkins is saying is not that evolution is a philosophical explanation and the only right one, but a scientific principle that has come to be just as accepted as the laws of gravity, and thus is the most reasonable basis for how life began and got to where it is today.

And one other thing: I’m really annoyed at that woman who keeps referring to her church-going colleagues who “still believe in science.” That just doesn’t make sense. The beliefs of Christianity endlessly contradict science, so the only way to believe in both is to be selective, which is, in my mind, hypocritical.
