David Attenborough, spawn of the devil!
The moronic creationists will hate him all the more, Tombstone, following the broadcast on BBC1 on Sunday next! :
Charles Darwin and the Tree of Life - 21:00
There's one sequence in David Attenborough's masterly cruise through the history of life where he explains the development of the eye in animals. With beautiful briskness it stifles the old canard that Darwin's theory of natural selection can't explain how an organ as complex and "designed" as an eye could evolve. Yes, the great communicator does it again. For this one-off he brings a lifetime of experience to bear on the story of Darwin's work and what we have learnt since about evolution. What makes the programme so captivating is not just the gentle clarity of Attenborough's style but the fact that he makes the story so personal. He reminisces about his fossil-collecting childhood, and via clips from his many series we see not just dazzling creatures but also the evolution of Attenborough himself, from bright-eyed enthusiast to grey-haired sage. It's fascinating on every front, a clear survey of a huge expanse of science and not to be missed. RT reviewer - David Butcher BBC1 : (60 mins)

It is a pity he could not have had a conversation with this man...may have updated him a bit.
"BERLIN (AFP) – One of the most wanted Nazi war criminals, Aribert Heim or "Doctor Death", thought to be in his 90s and in South America, actually died in Cairo in 1992, media reports said Wednesday."

As to the women’s dress code, this seems to be a favorite topic with religious conservatives (read nut jobs) across the globe. We have the Moslem "police" in Saudi Arabia, the men in black in Israel, and many, many, varieties of Christian fashion police as well. The irony here is it is always men who have direct orders from God on “what not to wear” for women. I think it was that first fig leaf that did it.

Allowing the 'religious loonies' to hold power is the most dangerous mistake humanity continues to make -- and here is just our 'latest' contribution: even the slow witted now see this creature increasing exposed. The Christian faith, like ALL faiths, is based on lies -- and the covert policies it pursues (i.e. claiming only concerned to rid the world of WMD) now openly admitted not to have been the real motivations --- Blair like the crusading Bush was "doing God's work" (and like the Biblical God, lying to the people in an attempt to rally some token of 'support'). No doubt we should perceive the million Iraqis killed by Blair and his war as the objects of "God's love"!
There will never be long-term peace in this world while creatures like this are feted -- and beware of those who fete him!

Every now and then, it's fun to dip into the world of politics and find out what our lords and masters are saying about science. For example, David Tredinnick, Conservative MP for Bosworth, stood up in the House of Commons to speak on medicine. Scientists and doctors who doubt the efficacy of alternative therapies are superstitious, ignorant and racially prejudiced, he said.
"It is no good people saying that just because we cannot prove something, it does not work ... I believe that the department needs to be very open to the idea of energy transfers and the people who work in that sphere."
He went on: "In 2001, I raised in the house the influence of the moon, on the basis of the evidence then that at certain phases of the moon there are more accidents. Surgeons will not operate because blood clotting is not effective and the police have to put more people on the street."
Where does this moon stuff come from? "I am talking about a long-standing discipline – an art and a science – that has been with us since ancient Egyptian, Roman, Babylonian and Assyrian times. It is part of the Chinese, Muslim and Hindu cultures... Criticism is deeply offensive to those cultures," says Tredinnick, "and I have a Muslim college in my constituency."
Any attempts to challenge Tredinnick's ideas are based, he explains, on "superstition, ignorance and prejudice" by scientists who are "deeply prejudiced, and racially prejudiced, too, which is troubling."
I hardly dare to mention that Tredinnick tried and failed to claim £125 in parliamentary expenses for attending an intimate relationships course in London teaching how to "honour the female and also the male essence and the importance of celebrating each", run by a homeopath.
