Dawkins on Channel 4!

Does Channel Four have a love affair with Richard Dawkins? This time they have given him a three part mini series on Charles Darwin to which he can have his rants on religious faith. I caught ten minutes of this week and couldn't believe my eyes as he had a go at some science teachers for not trying to "reason" children out of religious faith. In terms of impartiality I cant see them giving the same time for the Archbishop of Canterbury, let alone the same editorial power. If they did it would probably have some added scandal or warped twist to it.

I'm not a creationist and I could easily sit and watch a TV programme about Darwin with some interest. I do think Richard Dawkins is a narrow minded self-publicist who has little idea about religion.
