    Dans un speech sur le “Militant atheism”, Richard Dawkins imagine un numéro spécial du Quarterly Review of Biology sur la question “Did an Asteroid kill the dinosaurs?”, avec des articles de natures assez différentes :

    Table des matières

    - Iridium layer at the K/T boundary, and potassium argon dated crater in Yucatan indicate that an asteroid killed the dinosaurs.

    - The president of the Royal Society has been vouchsafed a strong inner conviction that an asteroid killed the dinosaurs.

    - It has been privately revealed to Professor Huxley that an asteroid killed the dinosaurs.

    - Professor O’Neil was brought up to have total and unquestioning faith that an asteroid killed the dinosaurs.

    - Professor Hawkins has promulgated an official dogma bounding on all Hawkinsians that an asteroid killed the dinosaurs.
