The atheist convention: a missed opportunity : Comments
By Peter Sellick, published 16/4/2012It is a pity that new atheists are fixated on the futile question of the existence of a God.

prisco/quote..""The term "new genus"..refers
to the discovery of a new species."" no prisilla..genus is divided into species species micro evolve WITHIN the genus mean meaning darwins finches....fluctuate between,,the long beaked and the short beaked[dependant on season[wet more towards long beaked..short in hot dry times both yet are the same finch genus ""e.g The Wollemi Pine..was described as a "new genus" after it was discovered in 1994."" yes causee iot cant breed with any other pines thus becomes a new genus[im going with faith..your correct[re its being a new genus]..sure a new spewcies within the pine genus..but the fact remains ..SCIENCE DIDNT MAKE ANY NEW GENUS* you havnt visited the link have you? ""I think you misunderstand the theory of evolution"" mate i know enough to know its a theory! that scioence cant make claim to! i know that evolution[is solely..WITHIN genus] no one[not even you..!]..can name any new genus THAT EVOLVED OUT OF ANOTHER* that wololy moo pine ALLWAYS WAS THAT GENUS* nuthing 'evolved'..to find it \ ""I highly recommend two books on the subject. "The Origin of Species" by Charles Darwin"" please visit the link http://forum.onlineopinion.com.au/thread.asp?article=13479&page=0 I JUST RECOMENDED AN ATHIEST ACTUALLY READ IT not just quote it like some proof of genus evolving i have read it many times LOOK AT THE TITLE..'the origen of species* four books..plus NOT ...!,,,*EVOLUTION OF GENUS*!

Hey, under one god
It seems you really are an expert on this subject. My humble apologies. Could you please expand on your theory of the origin of life/species/genus please. No links. Just a simple explanation would do. Could you also refer to the data or "proof" you use to come to these conclusions? I need this information for next Sunday. Cheers.

The term "new genus" refers to the discovery of a new species. e.g The Wollemi Pine was described as a "new genus" after it was discovered in 1994. Judging by some of you comments and ideas I think you misunderstand the theory of evolution so could I highly recommend two books on the subject. "The Origin of Species" by Charles Darwin and "Climbing Mount Improbable" by Richard Dawkins.
Yuyutsu,
On the Friday night at the Atheist conference there were comedians who indeed did mock religion. At the dinner on Saturday night there was more mocking. I agree that mocking is not a form of rational debate. It can be funny though. The mocking is caused by applying reason to religious ideas and sure beats burning people at the stake whose ideas you happen to disagree with. This entertainment was not the basis of the conference.
At lunch time a looney Christian group and the next day a looney Islamic group yelled at us and condemned us all to hell. In a different environment I'm sure they would have done their best to send us there. Not many laughs from these guys.
