We get some absurd emails at RDS. Here is a recent example, unedited. Perhaps he believes in a flat earth as well?

Dear All at RDS
Thank-you for confirming my suspicions; Your promotional film on CH4 next week proves you are worried that the public is becoming increasingly aware of the truth behind vivisection. (I note there is not one scientist invited to speak against vivisection just an animal rights protester, very balanced!!) Imagine if the scientific AV movement decided to do a similar TV prog.!!!!

As a practising Christian I am totally opposed to any form of barbarism, human or animal and find it hard to conceive that civilised human beings can condone this.  Of course those that promote it are not Christians or they would not be supporting it.  Clearly in your lives there is no God (except profit) However scienitsts are now begining to unravel the mysteries of life and I would like you to read the following.(below) I might also point out the Bible explains the water table (which took scientists years to puzzle out) and how this world is a sphere hanging in space; - and this book was written 2,000 years ago!  I don’t expect to convert you but hope you will look into your hearts and ask yourself if there will be any retributions for what you are doing today. I could understand your motives if animal research had produced a cure, stemmed the huge increase in diseases or even produced a safe drug.  What we both know is that this ‘science’ is about patents and profits.  Apparently Mr. Festing is anxious to learn who or what is funding EMP.  He would be amazed if he knew!!!

Just a sample of the growing number of scientists that believe in Intelligent Design.(or whatever one thinks of as God) Scientists in US say evidence is increasing that Darwins evolution theory doesn’t fit the facts now available.. They say there is strong evidence of intelleigent purpose in fossil & structure of cells and DNA. Among very ancient fossils there are incredible complex organisms… Andy McIntosh, prof. of thermodynamics & combustion theory, Leeds Univ. says the none evolutionist side of the argument is growing not because of ignorance but because of the rise of knowledge about the real facts of science & not the fariytale additions of evolution....Dawkings defence is based not on science but ideology.......Prof. Anthony Flew long regarded as the champion of atheists says he now believes in God. He says research into DNA has shown by the almost unbelievable complexity of the arrangements which are needed to produce life, that intellignece must have been involved. 

I should be pleased to hear if you have any comments
Sincerely
Nick Williams

If this is “scientific antivivisection”, I don’t think we have anything to worry about.
