Did anybody notice ...?

... the cameo by Professor Richard Dawkins in last night's Doctor Who?

Hmm. Interesting. What's a good example of the increasing messianic imagery?

The Doctor's always been a Deus ex Machina for those involved hasn't he?

Deus ex machina - God Out of A Machine

The Doctor shrouded in white light, crucifixion poses etc its rather blatant at times.

If you charge material up electrostatically, then each part tries to get away from it's neighbours, and for a human that would be arms out stretched. And auraus of white light represent the massive energy escaping from control.

I'd do it the same even if I wasn't trying to push a JC style image out.

(I'm not saying they aren't. The whole let's raise our mobile phones in prayer was fairly messianic)
