I see that Daniel Dennett and Lord Winston fired the opening salvos of their debate yesterday (on the question of whether religion is a threat to rationality and science) in written form. I must admit that I was surprised at how weak the arguments of Lord Winston seem to be. But then, I don’t find the Book of Job to be "deeply mysterious and spiritual", but a rather unpleasant story of what happens when God has a bet with Satan.

Haha. Yes, me too – but slightly better than bloody Joshua surely? I think we need to seperate ‘Religion’ from God and spirituality too by the way, which I have never found to be at odds with logic or science – the whole of life is at odds with logic, and science is just the illumination of the amazing fact of our existence at all. To my mind anyway.
