The Amazing Randi interview

By pharyngula on June 9, 2010.

This is a good way to do an interview with Randi: completely cut out the boring interviewer and let the interviewee talk at length. Great fun!

If you go to the Big Think page, there's an index to sections of the talk if you don't have time to listen to the whole thing. You can also leave comments. One peculiar thing is that there are almost no comments there yet, and in fact the only section that seems to have any comments is the one titled "Science will never support religion"…and it's nothing but whiny apologists for faith. Don't bother reading them. It would be nice if people would discuss some of the other parts of this long interview.

By the way, Randi will be in Copenhagen next week, he's a wonderful conversationalist and you should take advantage of him if you can!

Wilkins vs. Myers
John Wilkins has a post up criticizing P.Z. Myers for criticizing Elaine Pagels for criticizing Richard Dawkins. Maybe we'd better start at the beginning. An interview with historian Elaine Pagels appeared in Salon. The first two thirds of the interview addressed Pagels' work on the Gnostic…
