Beware the Believers!

[StuartR]

Oh, you're going to love this. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eaGgpGLxLQw)

Nobody knows whether it's taking the piss out of Dawkins et al. or creationists (I reckon it's ripping both, for what it's worth). But who cares? It's hilarious!

AMAAAAZING!

He's the Dick to the doc to the PhD
he's smarter than you
he has a science degree

He's the Dick to the doc to the PhD
he's still smarter than you
he studied biology!

One of the comments on the youtube is that no matter who this video is making fun of, Dawkins fans will laugh and enjoy it. I loved it!

Thanks Stuart!

The funniest thing about it is Daniel Dennett wearing the big pimpin' wide-brimmed hat... I nearly soiled myself when I saw that for the first time...

[Chris Worfolk]

What are the possibilities we can get this performed live at some kind of conference? ;).

[grammar king mike]

PMSL!

It's gotta be anti-Dawkins, stuff like "if I was dyslexic I'd hate dogs too" doesn't take the p*** out of the believers at all, as far as I can see. Still, hilarious.

You should also check out this one (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7KTsJeVLSZs), where Yusuf Al Khattab (the American who converted to Islam and moved to Palestine in "The Root of All Evil?"), has some not-very-nice things to say about Dawkins (around 3.25).

[StuartR]

Nah, I think it's subtly laying into the creationists as well. Besides, it's far too funny and clever to be a creationist production.

Well that video shows... that that guy is just as crazy as I first thought from watching the Dawkins documentary. What a scary, scary man.

[grammar king mike]

Speaking of Dawkins btw, certain people here got books signed by him last night... haha!

[StuartR]

I SHOOK HIS HAND!

I was weak at the knees, I kid you not...

[grammar king mike]

You were weak at the knees when you were about fifth in the queue, you must have swooned when you got to the front! Yes I just said swooned.

[Ellis Pugh]

aww no fair, how come you got to meet Dawkins?

[grammar king mike]

He and Richard Holloway did an event at the Edinburgh Science Festival.

[Tessa K]

I can't quite work out if it's pro or anti Dawkins but it's very very funny.

If we're swapping autograph anecdotes, I got James Randi on Saturday...

[Ellis Pugh]

No I can't tell either, still love it.

FOUND THEM!
I am in the middle of the showing of a documentary called What the Bleep? made by captured light and lord of the wind films.
To my shock, the film contains interviews with retarded new agers AND short funny clips with the same technique used for this video clip. Furthermore, the message that this documentary tries to convey is extremely scary. It is a New New age, very confusing. Lots of praise of Science but they talk of a new age of science in which the soul and the nature of reality is at the tips of our fingers through quantum mechanics. The documentary is very well made. Lots of money behind this guys.
Shit! This is what Science Communication should be like and this guys can do it. Also, they are against religion but they talk about interconnectedness ...
"
we need a new spiritual way of understanding the world, we need a new realm, ..."

Now I get it: Postmodernism mixed with New Age and Quantum ignorance,...

A new enemy of reason!

[AlexMagd]

It's an inventive new enemy of reason, I'll give them that. This video still makes me laugh :D

[grammar king mike]

I can't quite work out if it's pro or anti Dawkins but it's very very funny.

I know this is really really old, but I thought James Randi was dead...
