I've been listening to quite a few of TED's lectures on my new iPod. Of interest are Dawkins' lectures on the need for what he calls "militant atheism". Rather than emphasize the may theists who argue that evolutionary biology is consistent with their religion, focus on the irrationality of religious orthodoxy. Theists, both those who acknowledge Darwinism and not, seem to have no problem marginalizing atheists because they believe us to be wrong. It is not stooping to their level to do likewise. That said, my money's on Darwin. He's going for the eyes, which as we all know, is better than Jesus' strategy of going for the throat.
