Stephen Fry and Being Made in the Image of God

I'm quite a fan of QI; I love the statistics and the quirky facts they have on offer.  Famous for the television show, 'the QI elves' also publish books which they call 'Books of Ignorance' in the vein that the public are generally ignorant of the amazing world they live in.  This is true to an extent, for example: who knows that aardvarks can eat up to half a million termites in a sitting, that a cat's paws double in size when its claws are extended or that a salamander's tongue muscles attach to its hip bones.


Indeed, those facts come from a certain book, The QI Book of Animal Ignorance, which I highly recommend (it leads you through an A-Z of animals showing how amazing each one is).  Stephen Fry, famous for hosting the QI television series, writes the foreword and, though a staunch atheist, gives a real insight into what it means to be made in the image of God.
