Dawkins surrounded by idiots (Hellie)

In two episodes of his UK Channel 4 TV show, eminent British biologist Richard Dawkins visits the heart of darkness — Colorado Springs, USA, ground zero of irrationalist bronze age Christian fundamentalism. In the seven minute video clip linked here, Dawkins converses with the creepily toothy pastor Ted Haggart, comparing his sermon to a Nuremberg rally, and in return being told by Haggart that he needs to brush up on his knowledge of the biology literature. The clip is very much worth watching, and the page to which I link provides information on how to acquire the rest of the episode.
