Hi folks,

This would normally be a subject for the Non-Rawat forum, but Dawkins' new book features heavily in Saph's thread below, so it seemed appropriate to post this here.  Dawkins was interviewed on the Jeremy Vine midday show today on BBC Radio 2 - it's basically a public affairs / politics, discussion / interview programme with music thrown in.  Listeners are invited to phone in or email with their tired and predictable opinions.

Anyway, go to this link:

NB: Then click on the 'Tuesday' LISTEN AGAIN option.  Then fast forward on the 15 minute button four times, followed by twice on the 5 minute button.  This should drop you into the end of Don Henley singing 'Boys of Summer'.

Then the Dawkins section starts.  It's a good listen, I reckon (maybe over-familiar for those of us who know him well from earlier writings and interviews?)

But I still feel I owe the guy something, since it was 'The Blind Watchmaker' back in 1987 that led me to completely overhaul my worldview, and change my life for the better - including throwing out the guru for good.
