Yesterday (23.02.2012) Professor Richard Dawkins and Dr Rowan Williams, Archbishop of Canterbury, held a televised debate on Evolution. I didn't actually see the debate on TV, but I read about it in today's 'Independent' newspaper (UK). Apparently Dr Williams " ... even confessed his belief in evolution, and agreed with Dawkins that humans shared non-human ancestors."

"Rather than arguing, Dawkins and Williams seemed intent on finding areas of agreement. Did the Archbishop agree that there was probably no "first man", that human evolution was gradual, and that - in Dawkins' formulation - no pair of Homo erectus parents gazed down proudly at their Homo sapiens new-born? He [the Arcbishop] did."

"Could Dawkins disprove the existence of God? He could not, he confessed, describing himself as an agnostic [rather than an atheist] ... On his own atheism scale of one-to-seven, the Professor suggested, "the probability of any supernatural creator existing is very, very low, so let's say I'm a 6.9"." Spot on - in my opinion!

So, there you go, Iona and pete, even a head honcho of the God-squadders believes in evolution!

Oh, sorry! He doesn't belong to your particular fundamentalist micro-sect(s) - does he?
