Noted elsewhere: Welcome to the age of irrationality.

by MELANIE PHILLIPS [The Spectator] – ‘If you look around you — with a mind that is truly open — you will see much evidence that the Western mind is currently snapping tightly shut. Indeed, the paradox is that some of our most noisy advocates of reason say a lot of things which are demonstrably absurd….

‘For example, Professor Richard Dawkins told me he was ‘not necessarily averse’ to the idea that life on earth had been created by a governing intelligence — provided that such an intelligence had arrived from another planet. How can it be that our pre-eminent apostle of reason appears to find little green men more plausible as an explanation for the origin of life than God?

‘The answer is that in certain areas science has overreached itself by trying to play God, and as a result has turned into an ideology.’ (Continued at The Spectator | More Chronicle & Notices.)
