About 15 minutes from the end of the lecture Coyne says "What can we do?"
- Teach the evidence for Evolution
- Teach the meaning of Theory in Science
- Emphasis the distinction between the natural and supernatural explanation, and the impotence of the latter.
- don't debate creationists 1 on 1, unless you really know what you are doing!
- educate yourself about the controversy (go to National Centre for Science Education)
- give public lectures on Evolution (to Church groups etc)
- the only way to increase belief in Evolution is too reduce religious belief!!
- religion is the enemy of Rationalism
- do not subscribe to view that Religion (Superstition) is compatible with Science (Rationalism)
