O’Reilly versus Dawkins

I normally don’t bother with the slanging matches between faith and atheism. Very few of them add much. But I am most interested (and, frankly, troubled) by the sly way Christians encroach upon science classrooms. So I did take the trouble to watch (thanks to a post on The Reason Project) an online excerpt of Billy O’Reilly, Fox News demagogue, interviewing Richard Dawkins about his new book, The Greatest Show on Earth: The Evidence for Evolution. It’s high drama, with O’Reilly eventually accusing Dawkins of fascism. If you think classrooms are safe from fundamentalism, take a look.
