    <dc:creator>blech</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["kids are utterly, utterly obsessed with fairness." I don't know how much this is brought up when people talk about religion and the brain, but I think it has a lot to do with why humans created god(s): they're a means of kidding ourselves that the universe does care. (Also, I now slightly regret my off-the-cuff remark on one of the photos.)

At least one of the two Catholics the BBC (bafflingly) chose to debate this nonsense is reasonably sane. Joanna Bogle, on the other hand, seems to have some sort of problem with a strawman version of science that believes there are no gender differences and that because men are women and vice versa we're dying. Please, keep her off the radio in future.
