By the time I heard about the
Dawkins-Lennox
debate at UAB’s Alys Stephens Center,
Oct 3, the tickets were sold out. That’s 1300 seats, weeks ahead of time, at
$30, $40, and $50 each. That says something about the importance of this issue
to Americans. There is no way around it. The passionate pushers of evolution are atheists, and they make evolution a religious issue, even if the opponents do not.
