Although Dawkins effort to educate her was completely worthless, she offers a great compendium of creationist claims and rhetoric. She has an agenda. It doesn’t just show through, she admits it. You can put the facts in front of them, and even throw them at their head, and they still won’t accept them. They don’t care. When Dawkins was interviewing Adrian Hawkes in the Root of All Evil he admits as much (@ about 13 mins). Nothing you can say/show them/explain to them about reality will change their minds, they don’t care. They have something more important to think about…the afterlife.

Yea, as he keeps on repeating, the evidence is in our DNA. But that just isn’t good enough for them. Perhaps they should peak through a microscope and endure the proper training themselves before talking about something they know nothing about. I would ask her, where’s the evidence of an intelligent designer and how does their theory explain all the things that evolution does so much better? In the Kitzmiller vs Dover Trial in Pennsylvania, the leading advocate and biochemist of ID admitted that if the definition of science were to be bended to allow ID that astrology would also fit into his definition and they uncovered evidence from there own advocates admitting that they didn’t have a full fledged working theory to explain life as we know it.

I watched this, and was amazed at how Dawkins kept his cool, and didn’t even raise his voice, or become aggressive. I just wanted to punch her smug face :(
