Great story about Francis Crick tonight

[ScottySatan]

The DNA guy. Moth Radio Hour, NPR. He was angrilly and publicly resigning from Churchill College at Cambridge because he was offended that they were putting in a chapel.

Winston Churchill himself wrote Crick a letter asking him to not resign, saying that the chapel was funded entirely privately, that people of all faiths could attend, and no one would be required to attend.

Crick replied with a counter proposal for a brothel. He said it would be funded entirely privately, that people of all faiths could attend, and no one would be required to attend.

The storyteller said thate the correspondence stopped after that.

He didn't think it was appropriate to have a church on a science and engineering school.

They feel weird, out of place and empty, but some engineering schools here have chapels affiliated with the state church.
