Dawkins and Collins on the Colbert Report

Both Francis Collins, head of the genome project and author of "The Language of God - a scientist presents evidence for belief" and Richard Dawkins (who has been quite critical of Collins) have featured on the satirical American program "The Colbert Report". Stephen Colbert adopts the persona of an extremely conservative, Christian interviewer with rather amusing results. I'll let others judge which of the two has the better sense of humour!

You can see Collins' interview on the Comedy Central website once you've got past the adverts, and the Dawkins interview from RichardDawkins.net:

Here is an excellent parody of Richard Dawkins position from a recent "Private Eye" that I thought was fun!!
