=== Interview with Wendy Wright ===
Richard Dawkins debated and was interviewed by Wendy Wright, a member of the society, “Concerned Women for America”. A transcript follows:
Dawkins: You said there was no evidence of intermediates in evolution, and I told you about five fossils, and–
Wright (reasonably): And I say if those were valid, there would be tons of evidence–
Dawkins: There is.
Wright (even more reasonably): –because there are so many different species, that there ought to be tons of evidence, even, let’s say, for one per-cent of the, eh, macro-evolution that’s taken place, there should be evidence, but–
Dawkins: There is.
Wright: –there’s not even one percent, let alone ten or fifty or seventy percent.
Dawkins: There is a massive amount of evidence. You just need to go into the books and go into the museums, and look at it. It’s there. You are believing people who are telling you there’s only [can’t hear the number /Niklas] percent.
Wright: And again, I go back to… It’s…it’s very demeaning, to say, that we only believe what we believe because we’ve been told that, and yet, we have evolutionary scientists who want to be the ones to tell all of society what is fact and what’s not fact, and to censor out information that is inconvenient.
Dawkins: I’m asking you to go and look at the facts; I don’t want you to believe me. Just look go and look at the facts.
Wright: And I have.
