@David32856757 @RichardDawkins I believe you've already seen my website essay - https://t.co/gDxymXpC3J

@RichardDawkins "Every physiologist who scientifically investigates the activity of the will in man and animals, must of necessity arrive at the conviction that in reality the will is never free, but is always determined by external or internal influences." Ernst Haeckel

@ClarkeMicah You will appreciate that where I did agree with you on "Any Questions" it was over your strong stance on the Iran war. It may be that you have previously taken a sensible stance on military conflicts, but I have not been aware of that.

@ClarkeMicah I admit that I am not an expert on your overall views. I only know that, over the years, I've seen you on "Question Time" often enough to know that I usually disagree with them, particularly with regard to domestic politics (I am a @guardian reader).

@LauraPh222 @AlexForsythBBC This week's "Any Questions" achieved something I never would have thought possible - I actually found myself agreeing with Peter Hitchens.

@Ella_AlShamahi That refers to Letters 2015 on my website, https://t.co/5lSdV0aLps

[Hugh Dower @HughDower]

@Ella_AlShamahi I am enjoying your series, even though, imho, it is based on an erroneous assumption - that all the rival humans were separate species rather than varieties. See 2015 – Hugh Dower – Evolutionary Philosopher as well as 2017. We're all homo erectus really.

Just found this on Facebook. I'm sure it's already circulating on X, but I thought I would share, since it says what I have always thought about the issue of immigration.

@RediZypce @RichardDawkins That was essentially what Douglas Adams argued, and he was a friend of Richard's.

@RichardDawkins Though many creationisists jumped on the ID bandwagon, ID is not in itself anti evolution. If Alfred Wallace were alive today, he would be classified as from the ID school. See https://t.co/8y0BcSXqiw

@13sarahmurphy @RishiSunak I'm wondering what his relationship with his daughters is like these days.

[Hugh Dower @HughDower]

@RichardDawkins You mean "Evolution is..." Darwin was just one cog in the vast mechanism that is the development of evolution theory, and he didn't even originate natural selection. He just happened to write a book that changed the world.

@Facts_Stats_ @WorldAndScience Since Universe means 'everything that exists', there can only be one.

@JMPSimor "The chief distinction in the intellectual power of the two sexes is shewn by man's attaining to a higher eminence, in whatever he takes up, than can woman - whether requiring deep thought, reason, or imagination, or merely the use of the senses and hands." Charles Darwin D of M

@altme123 @RichardDawkins @RupertSheldrake As the old saying goes, "Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence."

@RichardDawkins @jordanbpeterson You say "A colleague sent two challenges to me..." These were Tweets, directed at you, which suggests (as I have always suspected) that you do not look at your Notifications (which means you won't read this).
