This is just a plain weird thing to say: https://twitter.com/RichardDawkins/status/1018933359978909696?s=20 Has Dawkins cracked up a bit in his latter years?

I'm reading The Ancestor's Tale by Richard Dawkins and he mentioned the Tree of Life. It is pretty epic and you should check it out.

Does materialism spell the end for scientific method? I've been pondering this question for some time. It looks like this... * At least 99% of modern scientific research into the brain points directly to it being the sole source of consciousness. Pretty much every aspect of conscious experience...

In a Times magazine article (reported in Salon), Dawkins said: “I am very conscious that you can’t condemn people of an earlier era by the standards of ours. Just as we don’t look back at the 18th and 19th centuries and condemn people for racism in the same way as we would condemn a modern...

According to Moms Against Gaming, Richard Dawkins recently debated video game developer Cliff Bleszinski (key developer behind Unreal, Gears of War, and a bunch of others). Does anybody know where I can watch, read, or listen to this debate? So far, Google turns up nothing...which makes me...

It is evident that many people here hate Richard Dawkins with a vengeance. But why? He is a promoter of science and has had a positive impact on many lives (and a negative impact on nobody). What's there to hate?

xKam7UNN-2E Think of how much better our world would be if everyone, every faithhead, had the point of view and attitude to life expressed in the video.

Hi, Just watched a bit of the debate on youtube "Dangerous Ideas - Deepak Chopra & Richard Dawkins 2013-11-09". I only watched a bit of it because I find debates with Deepak Chopra a waste of time, and often follow a similar path. However, Deepak Chopra talked about Freeman Dyson and how he...

From the Dawk's Twitter: Clearly very racist of Dawkins to write a book that the Sudanese government feels the need to punish people for possessing.:rolleyes: On a more serious note, I hope Dawkins will continue to speak out against harmful religious delusions and continue to support...

This interview in SLATE just came to my attention. Particularly interesting are his comments on Islam and the bizarre dysfunctional relationship which has evolved among otherwise intelligent Liberals and Islam. "RH: You have turned your attention to Islam recently. Why is that? RD: I think...

TUESDAYJULY 9, 2013 On Tuesday, two great minds are in the red chair: evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins and theoretical physicist Lawrence Krauss will sit down to talk about religion. Both men argue the world would be a better place if religion played a less central role in culture...

Here's a recent TV debate between Richard Dawkins vs Australian Catholic Archbishop Cardinal George Pell. I only half watched it and don't think it's particularly interesting as these things go - just more of the same really. It might only be available for a few days. Sorry if it's already been...

I've been listening to an audio version of Dawkins' latest, The Magic of Reality, and he made a sort of parenthetical point that I had never heard before. Myths and religions purport to explain a wide variety of phenomena: how the leopard got its spots, why humans speak many different...

Saw this on the BBC site and thought some folks here might be interested. There's a live video stream on this page, starting from 15.50 GMT http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-oxfordshire-16988341 It's the big one; Dawkins VS Williams! Thursday, 23 Feburary 2012 4.00-5.30pm! Wonder if...

Been tracking this for a bit, this spat between Rebecca Watson and Richard Dawkins, and the one thing that keeps coming to mind is why anyone felt any need to comment. I still don't think (a.) Rebecca should have wasted her time mentioning a guy who thought he'd get lucky with a woman who'd...

The failure got nothing to do with Dawkin's epic battle with the literal creationists. As one of his friends remarked, Richie is not a trained psychiatrist to start the battle, not to mention winning it. The failure in the title refers to something that Dawkins had really hard time to swallow --...

Now that we've talked the elevator issue to death, I'm curious about the opinions of those who are angry with Richard Dawkins. What can he do to "redeem himself", in your mind, if anything?

There will be a poll in a couple of minutes - be patient. If you are/are not attending TAM and had to wear a t-shirt to support your thoughts on this tacky contretemps, which would you choose? D.J. made some comments in today's SWIFT about there appearing to be a picking of sides in this issue...

The thread title is eponymous to the movie based on an idea similar to the M. Night Shyamalan film The Sixth Sense -- an idea based on exploring all the possibilities of afterlife. The prevalence of dichotomous views riding on rationality prevents other options that concern some cases of...

General opinion? I don't. I think he is too converned with sounding smart as opposed to just explaining things. Oh and in his last book he used the same thing over and over again a___ is a ___ is a ____ (insert any word)

For those outside of Los Angeles who have likely never heard of Dennis Prager, he is an author and the host of a syndicated AM talk radio show. In my opinion he is intelligent and reasonable, though often wrong. Unlike many who operate on America's airwaves, he doesn't attempt to shout down...

I found this interesting. http://www.courthousenews.com/2010/10/22/31283.htm Bloody shame all round, hope resolves well cj x

Proposing humanist heresy

This is apparently what he claims. But if he is as smart as everyone says he is, how could he possibly believe nothing exploded and made everything? I personally think he's a Christian who claimed to be an atheist to sell books. I'd love to hear your thoughts, thanks.

The UK More4 channel has a series by Richard Dawkins about the menace of "faith schools" starting at 21:00 tonight. It should be interesting, especially as the Tories seem to be in favour of more of them...
