The 2010 Templeton Prize Laureate will be announced Thursday at the NAS headquarters in Washington D.C. at 11 a.m. ET. The $1.5 million prize is given by the John Templeton Foundation…
“The U.S. National Academy of Sciences has brought ignominy on itself by agreeing to host the announcement,” wrote well-known scientist and author Richard Dawkins, on his blog Wednesday. “This is exactly the kind of thing Templeton is ceaselessly angling for—recognition among real scientists—and they use their money shamelessly to satisfy their doomed craving for scientific respectability.”








Progress of a sort? Richard’s name is used without “atheist” “strident” or “militant” attached to it! I am pleased.
