But without the brain.

This is a normal post Ha!
I normally enjoy going into a big rant about those regressive retards, listing all their faults and the short comings of their beliefs, but that summed them up perfectly.

I'm fond of the word "creotard" to describe them...

This is a normal post To paraphrase that grin-toothed physicist, Brian Cox
Anyone who believes that creationism is a credible theory is a twat.

Good man!

This is a normal post He's quite attractive too.
And he calls creationists twats.

I don't think a girl could ask for more :D

This is a normal post Ah - but to use an analogy - just because I don't own the gallery, doesn't mean I can't admire the pictures within...

This is a normal post I do like him as a bloke,
from what I have seen of him, and his approach to science and such, but I do have to say I prefer my science from old men in bad jumpers :)

This is a normal post but he's second only to Stephen Fry
in the Can-Do-No-Wrong league :-(

Big blummin meanies

This is a normal post What is it with Stephen Fry?
He's a tolerable comic actor, a decent raconteur, and tolerably smart. But... really.

I have to agree with the Willie Donaldson and Hermione Eyre appraisal of him: Stephen Fry is a stupid person's idea of a clever person.

Just someone terribly nice that you could rattle on with for hours over a bottle of red.

This is a normal post Hmmm...
I'm sure you could pass a wonderful evening in his company. Still, I'm not sure he'd be my first choice.


Mind you, I don't know who would.

This is a normal post This is the old dinner party question
And as I recall, you spent and enjoyable night with a group of lushes that made short work of a bottle of Blue Nun, and came up with interesting cocktails using the dregs from glasses, not too long ago ;)

This is a normal post I'll have you both know
I can be drunk AND erudite and also am put out at not automatically being Enzyme's first choice as dining partner. I'll remember that next time I'm in a restaurant with him.

I should have made that clear.

Punish me.

I never thought he'd have Kerry Katona as number one.

it shows that I am picky about men ;-)

This is a normal post I find him incredibly irritatingly smug
I tried to watch his documentary on depression but switched off when he bemoaned that he owned 14 ipods, 'oh poor me I just can't control myself'.... head up arse....

This is a normal post I love Stephen Fry on QI for the same reason
that I love Jeremy Paxman on University Challenge, and I used to love William G Stewart on 15 to 1.

He is asking all these questions, but you really get the feeling that he does actually know the answer to most of the questions without actually having to look down at his cards.

This is a normal post Considering the general level of stupidity in the human species
This is hardly surprising. Being a godbanger involves taking umbridge with anything that doesn't fit your own personal Jeebus and obviously being one of the most erudite, educated, informed, enlightened and entertaining characters on the planet he's in for more than his fair share.

This is a normal post Attenborough is a legend
Quoting the article,

In the interview, Sir David said that people asked why his documentaries did not give "credit" to God for the creation of life.

"They always mean beautiful things like hummingbirds."

"I always reply by saying that I think of a little child in East Africa with a worm burrowing through his eyeball."

"The worm cannot live in any other way, except by burrowing through eyeballs."

"I find that hard to reconcile with the notion of a divine and benevolent creator."


I love this man

This is a normal post I would be intrigued to hear a creationist view on the eyeball worm.
It seems like a simple refutation of 'god is love' yeah right, and the eyeball worm fits into this compassion how exactly?

This is a normal post In fairness...
Michael Behe (I think) did admit that God created malaria. So at least he's honest enough to bite that bullet.

It's a shame it's not true.

This is a normal post Attenborough is my favourite person of all time
To the extent that when hypnotised in front of an audience, I was asked who my favourite celebrity was and said "I don't like celebrities, I like David Attenborough" (he then made me talk to 'David' in the audience, then convinced me I was a gorilla)

This only affirms my admiration

This is a normal post Indeed.
However, appeals to the apparent moral failures of a creator strike me as being less powerful than simply pointing out that the existence of a non-material and non-temporal living thing is incomprehensible.

I can tolerate people believing in fairies or unicorns - I can imagine a world in which winged homunculi or horned horses exist. It's not this world, but there's nothing incoherent about it. However, a world in which supernatural beings exist simply doesn't make sense.

(I was impressed by Jonathan Miller's point that he doesn't call himself an atheist because theism seems to him to be too absurd to waste time opposing...)
 (I helped save b3ta! Enzyme is powered by sunlight, Wed 28 Jan 2009, 13:21, Reply)
This is a normal post Yes, indeed
The most convincing argument, for me, is that to 'create' the staggering amount of complexity in the Universe you must concede that the Creator him/her self must be even more staggeringly complex.

Which is impossible, of course, as complexity doesn't just appear, it's the product of evolution! So who created the Creator? And so on, and so on...

This is a normal post I'm going to write some hate-mail to Attenborough,
right after I punch this kitten in the face.
