Yes, they had tens of thousands of outraged complaints - before it aired.

The actual title of the lecture is Why evolution is right and why creationism is wrong...

I apologise profusely for this error.

Please note that this lecture is now completely sold out.

I did find the title they had on the original annoucement quite amusing. It was "Why evolution is wrong and why creationism is right".

I wondered if anyone had noticed, and apparently they did. Would be funny if there were a load of people who got tickets thinking the original title was the correct one!

some good posts, but your all completley wrong. meet god,

its name is simone. (please note he advised that this is the male version of the name, with simon being the transexual version.)

i know this probably wont sway you into becoming a believer but as youve found out already the world is flat, made of crack cocaine and smells like fish. Or is that aberdeen?

This is now getting out of control. She's been charged with inciting hatred because she allowed children to name a teddy bear after a child in her class who happened to have the same name as a semi-mythical character from a fictional book!

How ANYONE can say this kind of insanity deserves respect in the modern world stuns me. Surely this kind of thing is evidence enough that the religious are deluded and, in the worst cases, downright insane?

Stop preaching your intolerance or I'll tell Anthony Beers; he recently converted to Islam you know.

I hear he's renamed himself 'Mohammed'

hooligan · 29th November 2007, 08:59 AM

so a class full of children called a class 'mascot' Mohammad. and a pupil in that class is also called Mohammad? i can see how that could get out of hand, playground can be a bastard.

Thee Alex · 29th November 2007, 06:52 PM

This has just got madder, with her being found guilty!!

my thoughts were written by someone else on the bbc story about this:

"Without wishing to cause offence here, am I missing something? I thought it was the children that named the teddy bear, not the teacher. It is highly unlikely that the teacher is responsible for the religious education of these children, then how can she be held responsible for their choice of name for the bear? If this choice is seen to be offensive, then surely is it the children's religious educators who are at fault?"

and alex's point that those of religious persuasion should not be in charge of anything is given a shining example in all it's ludicrousness here.
giving a teddy bear a name ends up with a woman going to court then getting 15 days in jail and deported.
obviously naming a teddy bear is mohammed is an insult to islam, traditional way to insult muslims isn't it? everyone knows that.
fuck's fucking sake. who was making up the jury? the taliban?

they claimed it was "idolatry" which is the worst excuse ever. ffs.
