The BBC often annoys me, and particularly the religion department. In this week of Darwin's bicentenary, one might have feared a tired debate between Dawkins and some creationist.

Insead, this morning's service on Radio 4 was rather wonderful: it came from the chapel of St. John's College, Cambridge, and was a service of thanksgiving for the life of Charles Darwin. The preacher was the Cambridge professor of evolutionary paleobiology (whose science would not, of course, embarrass Professor Dawkins, but who has more to say besides).

Creative response? Yes, we can do that. Genius.
