Talking about spruiking their latest book, ABC Radio National’s Big Ideas will tomorrow night feature Richard Dawkins speaking about his newest, in a speech delivered last week in Brisbane.  He speaks “in defence of evolution and takes aim at creationists ” and ‘intelligent design’ adherents.  Interestingly, the Parliament of the World’s Religions ran two sessions (here and here) in which scientists and theologians critiqued creationism and intelligent design arguments.

For anyone interested in amplifying their sense of how Darwin’s Anniversary Year has led to the distinctive ways “evolution” has been framed for discussion, read this excellent – and entertaining – piece in the London Review of Books.
