I...Meant to post the twitter feed that led to this. It is:<br /><br />I was reading on twitter last night some rudeness and generalisation from a few members of the (I think) scientific community. I say 'I think' because although I am familiar with Richard Dawkins I do not know all the participants.<br /><br /><br />Javier Montemayor said:<br /><br /><br />'A true understanding of Darwinism is deeply corrosive to religious faith.' - @RichardDawkins #TEDTalks<br /><br /><br />To which James Lindsay replied:<br /><br /><br />@jmontemayorm @RichardDawkins The central premise of Christianity literally cannot be made sense of if evolution is understood.<br /><br /><br />EarlyHippie then said:<br /><br /><br />@GodDoesnt @jmontemayorm @RichardDawkins NOTHING about crucifying your own son to make yourself happy makes sense<br /><br /><br />And I found all this a little annoying. It was like a bunch of preachers shouting in the High Street. You know, the ones everybody walks past with their collars up and faces down. So it was perhaps silly of me to join in but I felt obliged to. I said:<br /><br /><br />@EarlyHippie @RichardDawkins @GodDoesnt @jmontemayorm hands up any of you guys who understand metaphor. Thought not.<br /><br /><br />Well that was fun. It was like all the street preachers in the vicinity suddenly joined together, not consistent in what they believed but happy they had found a common enemy. I got trolled.<br /><br />Thus my post.<br />Steve Tilleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17400505989949096631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5581050.post-48156371197694958712015-03-16T17:25:32.500+00:002015-03-16T17:25:32.500+00:00Thanks Alex.
