I like Stephen Fry but he should have acknowledged borrowing that idea from David Attenborough, who said this years ago:
When creationists talk about God creating every individual species as a separate act, they always instance hummingbirds, or orchids, sunflowers and beautiful things. But I tend to think instead of a parasitic worm that is boring through the eye of a boy sitting on the bank of a river in West Africa, [a worm] that’s going to make him blind.
And [I ask them], ‘Are you telling me that the God you believe in, who you also say is an all-merciful God, who cares for each one of us individually, are you saying that God created this worm that can live in no other way than in an innocent child’s eyeball? Because that doesn’t seem to me to coincide with a God who’s full of mercy.
Attenborough has virtual saint-like status, so you'd think he could get away with it more than Fry, who is a bit Marmite, but even he regularly receives hate mail from religious zealots.
Attenborough is an agnostic btw.
