> Re- Derek's remark, if science is theatre I think it's more like Strindberg
or Ibsen, whilst religion is like.... Andrew Lloyd Webber- full of
glitzy
costumes and catchy tunes, but conceptually empty and rather too much
borrowing from earlier sources :-)
What's sad is when Ibsenesque heavyweights try to do 'All the fun of the
fair' - always cringemaking and usually the worst of both worlds (i.e.
dull *and* uninformative). Did anyone see the Dawkins "Through the
[something or other] barrier" (or something like that) a year or two ago
- my god I wanted someone to kill him just to stop him. Never give the
content producer editorial control.
