Small world(s) 

Question: What do the following have in common?

God Delusion



'While Europe is becoming increasingly secularized, the rise of religious fundamentalism, whether in the Middle East or Middle America, is dramatically and dangerously dividing opinion around the world. In America, and elsewhere, a vigorous dispute between 'intelligent design' and Darwinism is seriously undermining and restricting the teaching of science. In many countries religious dogma from medieval times still serves to abuse basic human rights such as women's and gay rights. And all from a belief in a God whose existence lacks evidence of any kind.' (from synopsis on Amazon. Sounds like my kind of book!)


God- not-bothering surprising best selling (in my lowly bookshop) book The God Delusion where we get more of the 'religion is mental and science is great' spiel from that Richard Dawkins bloke...


and
Romana 2
Doctor-bothering Time Lady Romana Version 2.0 who travelled in time and space with Tom Baker as The Doctor before getting married to Tom Baker as Lalla Ward which was who she was in the real world until she left the show when Adric turned up and then they got divorced in the real world anyway...

No, they both don't have Adric as a MySpace friend....

They are in fact Husband and Wife. How boffinny must their bedtime chats be?

But an over zealous support of and dependence on science can be just as dangerous as blinkered religious fools. If you have a theory you believe in absolutely you're basically not being open minded, which is a problem even if you are right(ish).
