Finally this three part series has come to an end although I have to admit I did enjoy watching it for another insight into Darwinism and those who argue for the theory of evolution.
Dawkins had quite a few interesting confrontations with different professionals in this episode including an archbishop and a science teacher as I remember.
Talking to a board of teachers he encouraged the teaching of evolution in such as way as to persuade students from even their own religious beliefs but the teachers argued that the religious beliefs of the students had to be respected, evolution could be presented but students would have to make up their own minds.
Dawkins argued for a great deal of evidence for evolution whereas those who believe in intelligent design argue the opposite - that there is very little hard evidence for evolution, if any.
Most memorable quote - from his philosopher friend who nearly died and was prayed for by friends of his - he replied 'thankyou (for praying for me) and did you sacrifice a goat?'
