Yeah I was about to say the same. Eating human meat can do some weird shit to your blood and be dangerous. You figure a biologist would know that. Let's keep cannibalism taboo please.
On behalf of the vast majority of atheists, that Tweet is a huge "WHAT THE FUCK" even for us.
I can only guess as to why he would say something that stupid.
1. He meant we should accept cloned animal meat, but didn't chose his words wisely.
Or.
2. He slipped in the bathtub and hit his head, or he is slowly becoming the next Anthony Flew.
I can't figure it out. But making one boneheaded statement does not negate his prior work.
I can say though, might be a good time for atheist never again to use "EAT ME" or "BITE ME".
Is he having slow book sales? Does he want to compete with Alex Jones?
I loved his book "The God Delusion", but that Tweet is something I'd expect out of a conspiracy rag like "Bat Boy" "World Nut Daily".
Cannibalism is part of evolution, that part is true, but that does not make it desirable. Tornados are part of nature, but sane people don't want to be in it's path.
I seriously hope on his part it was a misstatement on his part, because that made no fucking sense.
