Dawkins subsidising camps for children...

[Alan Charter]

So, Richard Dawkins is moving more into children's work?! I wonder what will be next...

Intriguing. They've got this great idea of talking about a couple of imaginary unicorns then asking the children to prove that the unicorns do not exist. A spokesperson says, "The unicorns are not necessarily a metaphor for God, they are to show kids that you can’t prove a negative" -- presumably meaning that you can't prove that something doesn't exist. Yes, I'd agree there: there is no argument that would absolutely prove the non-esitence of these invisible unicorns. There is equally no argument that would absolutely prove the non-existence of God. However our good friend Dawkins appears to be completely convinced about the non-existence of God, despite this extremely logical argument.

But the article ends by stating that the subsidised camps still cost £275 for a week, so I don't suppose most Christian holidays will be quaking in their boots quite yet... It was the cost of Crusader [RIP] holidays that was the clinching argument in getting my atheist dad to allow me to go on one many years ago.
