A SAMPLE ACROSS THE RUNTIME — EVERY LINE IS SEARCHABLE

00:00:03 Well, the basic idea came out of the fact that I had a big feud on a TV show

00:02:53 Whereas when you do it with a science audience they go, "What's he on about?

00:05:54 This is another wonderful picture, I think, which again

00:08:52 Now, there are people at the moment who say that

00:11:50 and as some poor, hapless restaurateur found himself

00:14:54 and then they have a pint afterwards and it's like it's all got out of their system with the chanting

00:19:05 There are 100 billion stars in our galaxy

00:22:09 It's something called the Bible Code.

00:24:42 because Trotsky was killed with an ice pick to the back of the head

00:27:13 to that tragedy. So, for example, we start off...

00:29:47 "there's a bloke called Simon Singh on", and she leapt up from her maths masters and put on her coat

00:32:41 He thought it was an after-school club for Asian kids.

00:36:00 APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

00:38:46 But you know I'm kind of the best at this. I'm not a geneticist

00:41:32 "No, I'm afraid not. You'll have to have a faith based trial. Sorry."

00:45:22 "but isn't it all just a bit of harmless fun?

00:49:43 # Where God-fearing rednecks with scissors cut holes into sheets

00:54:12 This is one of the reasons that I started to love science again.

00:57:01 "You do understand how human beings work, don't you?"

00:59:46 going out of their way to try and make people feel really shit

01:02:55 APPLAUSE

01:06:13 And I was going to my mum, "But Joseph isn't Jesus's dad, is he?"

01:09:22 So this song, hopefully, will act as an antidote to that.

01:12:11 # PEACE AND QUIET!
