THANK GOD – IF THERE IS ONE That our local NPR affiliate has got something a little different for us this week. Inquiring minds can tune in on Monday, Oct. 29, at 6:30 p.m. to hear “The God Delusion Debate” between professor Richard Dawkins, Fellow of the Royal Society and Charles Simonyi Chair for the Public Understanding of Science at Oxford University, otherwise known as spokesperson for the “new atheism,” and Dr. John Lennox, popular Christian apologist, and Reader in Mathematics and Fellow in Mathematics and Philosophy of Science from Green College, University of Oxford. The debate, sponsored by a Christian thinktank called the Fixed Point Foundation, was presented to a sold out crowd at the Alys Stephens Center earlier this month. No word on whether or not any conversion went on that night, but if you were in attendance, how about giving it another shot; and if you weren’t, then hell, we all got here somehow, you might as well listen to these two guys hash it out for a little while from the comfort of your own home, perhaps over a serving of frog legs or fillet of soul? Following the broadcast on 90.3 FM in Birmingham and 91.5 FM in Gadsden, WBHM and WSGN will air a locally produced series, “God, Darwin and Dixie,” which explores how Alabama’s public schools and institutions of higher learning handle (or don’t) the questions of evolution and creationism. Fun stuff. Learn more at www.wbhm.org
