Dawkins on Q&A

[Bronny]

Q&A could be interesting this week - Richard Dawkins and Steve Fielding.

Q & A - ABC TV - Monday 8th March, 9.30pm

It was cringe worthy. Fielding Made himself looking even more stupid, that is saying something. Tony Burke made himself look like an absolute moron on the subject. Julie Bishop somehow seemed to be speaking the most sense on the topic, but most is very relative here.

Missed it, but the transcript will be up this afternoon. Interesting questions. That one about atheism having no "absolute" morality interesting. I hope they pointed out that religious morality is all relative. I'll give it a read when it's up.

I think you can watch it here now:

Richard Dawkins was far and away the most impressive panelist.  Sen. Steve Fielding was absolute rubbish and if he's the best public face the creationists have to offer they can kiss their movement goodbye.

IMHO, not one single Christian Right spokesperson in Australia today is worth feeding.

To the lions you mean? 

While Family First has always tried to distance itself from it's Assembley of God base, Fielding's poor effort was something else. He was obviously self-conscious when he stutteringly outed himself as a creationist (sounded like crayshonist). He was too jellyfish to be specific about anything, and he deservedly got Booed from the audience for evading all questions, hiding behind that "lots of people believe lots of things" cloak of bollocks.

I'm sure folks like Stokes, Muehlenberg, and Nile would be rolling in their spiritual graves at the performance. It would be funny watching the fool twatter on until June 2011, if it wasn't for the potential political sabotage he can cause in that time.

There seemed no follow up on Fielding's outing of Rudd as a creationist. Does Rudd believe the world is less thatn 10,000 years old?
