Wow! That’s quite a swing from before to after.

Actually, I was quite surprised by the comments on the Time’s website. Lots of people (rightly) point out McGrath is clueless.

BTW: Did I miss something? I am a bit confused why McGrath has been dragged into this? (http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/audio_video/podcasts/article1583399.ece)

Yeah, I wondered that too. But McGrath deserves it anyway, for being such a fucknut.
Saying that, there was a debate between Dawkins and McGrath earlier in the week in Oxford. Perhaps people are confusing the two events.
