I felt weird watching the linked video of the earlier interview Colbert/Dawkins.

In that first minute or so i had an uneasy feeling that he was about to be lynched.

Colbert’s style is quite impressive. But charisma and wit dont make it true.

Interesting how he (Colbert) doesnt hide from the view that “god did it” is nice and easy to understand, but a natural explanation hurts his head.

His fundie audience seem to lap it up, but he certainly did little to support the theist view point (yes, I concede this is comedy and not the forum for serious debate)

Did Dawkin’s neck tie have pictures of the “crocoduck” on it?

That should be an awesome event. I’d love to join you… lacking the money and the time, this year.

He was also interviewed on Daily Planet today, and in Maclean’s magazine. Very interesting stuff. I’ll have to remember to pick up a copy of the book.

I’m happy I’ll be there at the AAI con. Hopefully I’ll get Dawkins to sign my copy of The God Delusion. I might not agree with everything he says, but most of his words make sense. If I get a picture with him, it will be awesome.

Crossing out rationalists is right, as anyone who’s heard Maher talk about alt. “med.” knows.
