In October 2008 Richard Dawkins funded an atheism advertising campaign. On buses all over England there were signs reading: “There’s probably no God. Now stop worrying and enjoy life.” Fast forward to 2011. William Lane Craig is about to go on a UK speaking tour, sponsored by Premier Christian Radio. They are advertising for one of the venues via a bus advertisement that—you guessed it—plays on Dawkins’ ad (see below). It reads: “There’s probably no Dawkins. Now stop worrying and enjoy Oct 25th at the Sheldonian Theatre.” Absolutely hilarious! I’m sure part of the pun involves Dawkins’ refusal to debate Craig. He won’t debate, therefore he doesn’t exist.

Is it funny?
I don’t find it particularly offensive, or anything wrong with it. But ‘hilarious’ is definitely pushing it.

To each his own, I guess. Perhaps you need to be immersed in the world of apologetics like I am to appreciate it. I’m sure physicists have insider jokes that cause them to roll on the floor laughing, but people like me would say, “What’s so funny about that?” Or perhaps I have a weird sense of humor. Both are very probable!

No, Jason, you do not have weird sense of humor. I find it rather pompous for somebody (e.g. NotAScientist) to tut-tut another’s sense of humor. What next? a glare because you may find kimchi delicious?
