Persinger has been on all the cable UFO shows, on Discovery and the History channel, ghost sightings, etc. He teaches at Laurentian University in Ontario. He puts a "Persinger helmet" on graduate students' heads and induces an effect related to the effect pilots get when pulling too many g's. He's trotted out as the "expert" who pooh poohs out of body experiences and.... God. Highly entertaining, hilarious even

"In Professor Dawkins' opinion the struggle of atheism against religion is nothing less than the battle of truth against ignorance."

Well, I agree with the professor. Except he has the "truth" and "ignorance" part of the sentence backwards.

Professing themselves to be wise...

In the version I saw Dawkins had the helment on.

At first blush, yes, but pathetic as well. He may have been a good biologist, but he knows his grand claims are bumf, whatever the value, if any, of the Freeper Science Team's 19 little evidences for nano-evolution.
