I really liked the show series, like you said...Hi,<br /><br />I really liked the show series, like you said presented by a huge mix of people left, right and centre.<br /><br />Ann Widecomes show was very challenging, and she does have a point about society being better off if we embraced these commandment. I was hugely annoyed by the childish, idiotic and darn right rudeness of Stephen Fry (who i used to think was intelligent - animals dont treat each other the way you treated Ann) and that other allegedly intelligent thinker walking chilishy out of the room. Give them both a dummy someone please...Johnnynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7132206171945839649.post-41172060639807054462010-02-17T07:12:14.612+00:002010-02-17T07:12:14.612+00:00I enjoyed your entire post.Very Authentic Creation...I enjoyed your entire post.Very Authentic Creation!!<br /><br />Thanksbroadcasting schoolshttp://www.centennialcollege.ca/thecentre/broadcastingnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7132206171945839649.post-62277344422545146212010-02-11T22:25:10.542+00:002010-02-11T22:25:10.542+00:00I caught it by (semi-)accident too (I saw it whils...I caught it by (semi-)accident too (I saw it whilst browsing the on-demand menu), and thought it was interesting. Didn't quite tick my "intelligent and informative" box as much as Diarmaid MacCulloch's series, but I like the concept.<br />Hitchens (as ever) was a lot of bluster. I didn't notice the stopping of ears amongst the bizarre storming out. (Surely you can either have a sensible discussion or you can't. Why pretend to and then storm off like Kevin the teenager?!) I didn't think Stephen Fry was too bad. The more reasonable voice of atheism- he was certainly humble enough to climb off his hobbyhorse when asked by Ann. In response to his point, I would have liked more of an exploration of the meaning of the laws such as Mary Douglas' interpretation that they all point towards the need for unity and (therefore to God) rather than just being desert tribes' bullying.acetate monkeynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7132206171945839649.post-15447354690782838182010-02-10T08:40:33.286+00:002010-02-10T08:40:33.286+00:00I'd back up Trevor on the Jacobsen take on Cre...I'd back up Trevor on the Jacobsen take on Creation which I thought made a fantastic case for the creation story being of universal significance (whether you were a theist or not!) and he along with Mary Midgely I think it was had a swipe at the literalism of the contemporary militant atheists.

Certainly warmed to Howard Jacobsen, who I'd not really come across before. Not seen anty others yet: will catch this one on 4oD.
