ANGLICAN AUTHOR CENSURED AFTER ATHEISTS DECRY HIS TED TALK (Friday Church News Notes, June 14, 2013, www.wayoflife.org fbns@wayoflife.org,

The organization that sponsors the popular TED talks has censured  an Anglican author for opposing the philosophy of materialism.


Rupert Sheldrake, a Harvard- and Cambridge-educated biologist, brought the ire of intolerant atheists when he said that "materialism" is a belief system like religion and that its principles, which have become entrenched dogmas, are hindering an honest search for truth and information. Proving Sheldrake's point, shrill materialistic atheists attacked his talk and pressured TED to stop distribution of the video. In response, the video was removed from TED's YouTube channel and placed in a separate section of their website. 

Sheldrake is not a Bible believer or a creationist, but anyone in higher education who dares challenge the evolutionary view on any level is attacked by those who consider themselves the defenders of the Darwinian faith. The online TED videos have exceeded a billion views.
