I watched it, even though it clashed with university challenge.
Richard Dawkins is the man. He came to my school to give us a lecture when I was doing A levels.
He made some good points but he didn't do himself any favours. The whole program was about how science is better than religion because it is based on fact and doesn't always think it's right – science corrects itself as it goes along. But Dawkins gave a very one sided view of things. And the american pastor he interviewed was an idiot who obviously came across accordingly.
If he had interview the archbishop of canterbury who seems like an intelligent guy he may have had a more interesting debate.
I agree with Dawkins on the whole but he gets too angry when science is questioned, makes him look bad
