Blah, blah, blah.

Yet another amateur who thinks that science and morality need religion.

Ah, but this link was in the Science and Nature section of BBC News website. Not the right place for it given that the BBC is supposed to be fairly secularist, eh?

It is an opinion column, as long as the rest of their articles are well written and free from tripe, I won't be handing over my TV license fee just yet :D

The author Brian Walden was a Labour MP a long time ago (when Labour were actually left wing) since then he’s been a political journalist and by most accounts quite a good one.

It would seem that whilst he knows a good deal about life in Westminster village he knows bugger all about science and ethics.

The BBC is a broadcasting corporation, there's nothing saying it has to be secular and given this is a write in what you think or opinion column, it's not what the BBC thinks. It's no more different than a guy writing a letter for a paper.
