I want to upvote this, but the quality of the video goes all bonkers for me after 5 seconds, the audio loses sync and everything...

Isn't there a better source DD?

That should be better.

Thanks it's perfect now!

Thank God!

Very interesting. I watch The Panel occasionally, it's a good laugh. God knows (joke intended) what someone like Dawkins was doing on it but it's interesting and the panellists do show themselves to have a brain between them, at the very least. Most interesting was Ed Burns asking why religion exists and why isolated communities have consistently formed religion. I always thought it was a need for understanding that gave birth to religion, primitive societies unable to comprehend gravity, the solar system, quantum physics etc inevitably hit upon the theory that a larger, all powerful version of themselves is responsible and can't take the theory any further than that. This is sort of the answer he gives but he takes it further and asks why we need understanding.

On an unrelated topic, I can't help but giggle when someone with an Irish accent slags Donegal for being a bunch of culchies (that's a slang term for a rural living person, vaguely like a red neck). I live a couple of miles from Donegal and is isn't the most modern place (I only ever go there to walk the dog and fill up on cheap petrol!) but it's not like the rest of Ireland is a shining star of modernism. That's coming from someone in Northern Ireland and I'm sure there are more than a few who would consider us to be culchies! To be fair, it was a good joke, so what the hell!

I wonder how long ago the idea of discussing atheism on Irish telly would have been viewed with shock.

The old one was you tube, this one is liveleak, but it's "The Panel" and it's Dawkins, so seems right.
