Bill Maher’s “Religulous” documentary mocking religion in the United States opening weekend box office revenues were 10% higher than “Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed”.

Derbyshire reviews (and seems to have read) Berlinski
Derbyshire continues to embarrass himself — it’s as though on the topic of ID and God his emotions take over and he can’t think straight.

Dr. Berlinski’s book tour
