    RD is doing a webchat with The Times writers right now - it started at 14:30 BST. It's quite slow at the moment, not many people on, so if you have a question for Prof. Dawkins, I think there's a good chance he'll answer it. Link: http://richarddawkins.net/articles/509756-live-14-30-bst-the-god-debate

    (If you use NoScript, you have to enable "coveritlive.com" for the chat to work.)

    PS: RD seems a little irked at some of the daft questions about "purpose", so be sensible, m'Kay?. :D

    Death has this much to be said for it:
    You don’t have to get out of bed for it.
    Wherever you happen to be
    They bring it to you—free.

    — Kingsley Amis

    I totally want to ask him to vote in our "Keep The Angelus" poll.
    Can I post a link?

    But, really. I'm too chicken to ask anything. :o

    I got to trot out the line "gravity is a theory". I'm sooo proud :D

    I personally think he'd absolutely love the following question...

    ''If we evolved from apes, why are there still apes?''

    When watching the Genius of Charles Darwin doc, did anyone wince when Dawkins said to the black evangelist guy in Kenya, "I'm an african ape, are you?"? :P

    Ugh, I tried to read that web chat, but gave up after a few questions. They should just take all the crap out and leave in the questions asked & answered.
