Richard Dawkins Interviews Richard Leakey

"The man in Kenya who is driving this particular kind of campaign is Bishop Adoyo. He has got some extraordinary ideas, but very fundamentalist, very conservative. One point in a conservation with him on a telephone interview with one of the media, he put to me that what we are proposing is dangerous, depicting the evolutionary story is dangerous. I was somewhat shocked that it was dangerous. I said to Bishop, these things have been dead before several millions of years, how could they be dangerous? And the response was that it tells a very plausible story and the youth are in danger of believing it. And therefore it is best not told." - Richard Leakey
