As an update Prof Jones discussed the problems he comes across when teaching students with Islamic backgrounds.
"To a man and to a woman, there are parts of science they will not accept.
That means that, in their early lives, they have been told deliberate lies by people who, I'm sure, know they are deliberate lies. I don't care how charming they are, I don't care how pleasant they are, these people are evil."
Now to my mind, these islamic folk ain't the only ones who can't belive in science either. Vide fundamentalist Christianity, who also go around inculcating their kids with nonsense in the name of faith.
