E.T. Phone Dawkins?

Following up on last week's article, I visited Prof. Dawkins website. I found it interesting that he has a link to the SETI Institute, yet I could find no links to organizations investigating the possibility of large aquatic reptiles in the water ways of Scotland, nor any to those looking into the possibility of diminutive aerial humanoids. Does Prof. Dawkins have some evidence of E.T. that I am not aware of? if so I would like to know what it is.

NOTE: God is technically an extra terrestrial intelligence (although He is also extra cosmic as well), so you could say that technically SETI is looking for God, but I wonder what they would do if they found Him?

If You Say So

Have I nothing better to do than point out all the nonsense Professor Dawkins has to say when ever he gets on the telly? Well yes, actually I do. But if Dawkins insists on getting on the telly and saying it then I suppose I should do my part and point out that it is largely nonsense.
Recently Professor Dawkins was on a programme called "Have your say". The programme of course featured the usual suspects, things like who kills more people, theists or atheist, and other such drivel no thinking person cares about. Then of course Prof. Dawkins has to go through his rigmarole, comparing God to fairies and the lock ness monster because one cannot prove they do not exists, but there is no positive evidence that they do. Some might consider this a straw man, but I do not think such a comparison is even relevant enough for that. However Prof. Dawkins did say something interesting at the end. He said that he thinks the question of whether or not God exists is "very important". Does he consider the question of whether Nessy or Tinkerbell exists equally "important"?

Princess Chastity and the Horny Toad.

Princess Chastity glided gracefully across the prairie her long red hair flowed behind her like a brilliant flame caught in the wind. Her sparkling blue green eyes seemed to flirt both with the bright sky above as well as the lush grass beneath her dainty feet, and her fair skin glowed with delight to show the morning sun, whose rays had decorated her with delicate freckles, the exquisite art more lovely than any wrought with mortal hands.
Presently she came upon a horny toad.
"Hay, how’s about giving us a kiss?" said the Horny Toad.
"Oh, are you a noble prince who has been placed under a transmorphic spell by an evil sorceress?" ask Princess Chastity.
"What’s that got to do with it?" replied the Horny Toad, "Look, are you going to kiss me, or do I have to find another beautiful princess?"
"But there are no other beautiful princesses in this story." said Princess Chastity.
"Like there are an abundance of other horny toads?" said the Horny Toad, "now how’s about less jawing and more kissing."
"But it is not very pleasant to kiss a horny toad." objected Princess Chastity.
"And I suppose you think it is some great fun to kiss a knobble prince?" said the Horny Toad, "Look sweetheart, the fact is you are going to have the lion’s share of the cuteness no matter who your kissy partner is. So your best bet is to just use him as a means to vicariously enjoy your own beauty, and I can assure you I'll enjoy you at least as much as any old stinking noble prince."
And so it was that Princess Chastity kissed the horny toad and they lived happily ever after.
