It’s just with the internet you get to see new and completely ridiculous defences of creationism, the people who show up at your door are still going on about the odds of abiogenesis and using God-of-the-gaps arguments.
And generally English fundies aren’t as openly mental as their US counterparts so trying to trick them into saying something offensive doesn’t work.

Apparently “‘New’ Atheists” are middle class, university educated snobs. Which was a bit of a blow for me, I guess I could try and listen to uneducated people who believe in the religion their parents happened to force on them. But instead I’ve decided to label myself a Neo Old Atheist1
On the subject of atheism Jonathan Meades: Off Kilter, especially episode 2 is half-mad, half-insane brilliance. And it’s hard for me to praise a former foodie, architecture critic.
1 The schism between the old and new atheists is that old atheists don’t believe in a theistic god, and the new atheists don’t believe in a theistic god.

A bunch of lectures by Richard Feynman. Nice of Billy to put them online, shame it’s streaming, using silverlight. Be much nicer to download some .mp4s

Unpublished as the guy it’s about was suing him. The Book’s great as well.
