"All wild animals have to be kind of natural statisticians, looking for patterns in the apparent randomness of nature when they are looking for food or trying to avoid predators. There are two kinds of mistake they can make: they can either fail to detect pattern when there is some, or they can seem to detect pattern when there isn't any, and that's superstition."
This seems to be out of Dawkins league in the sense that he so intellectually above it that it would seem to be a waste of his time. It's one thing to poke holes in christianity or muslim faith but all he is doing with the psychics is pointing out gaping holes that everyone can already see.
What Dawkins didn't point out is that many of these people are technically atheist.
However he does adress how popular astrology has become in the UK which is considered an atheist tilted country, & astrology is only 1 of the many new age atheist belief systems. A recent poll has given evidence that atheist tend to be more superstitious than even Christians. I think this video further confirms this. The Buddhist who were chanting RENGE-KYO at the beginning of the video were also atheist.
It' so amazing at 22:54 when Dr Dawkins ask "if you could ask the dead why would you wouldn't ask, 'How is it there' or 'can you see the hole of the universe?'" (i'm paraphrasing) instead of things like stupid things mediums talk about like a hat, pictures, pains, and pets.
Richard Dawkins: here is my dream so for you to understand ill make it easy once i have guided two young people to enter a portal hole and inside that portal hole it was like full of electric energy like the entire room within and some how i have try to find out the fact so i remember the star trek when they use a hollo-gram emage but i was thinking can it be that the room was not yet active for emage and even can teleport it self withing it just like the internet sysytem when traveling?
Richard Dawkins : to be a scienetist you are not a solution finder but only an-old man and a religius believe killer. Why do you not see that the world is already are an-extinct being and no one is pushing you to believe on it but only have faith on it, If the people stop believing can you give the people jobs,medicine,shelter, etc. for a lifetime i dont think so for what you have is not even enough to make a glass of red-wine to refil it self like magic?
...I classify religious/superstitious people as mentally ill because that's what they are CRAZY!!!...

Let the smart people move on, and let the dumb people fall behind.
Look at evolution of human intelligent.
We're having more atheist (smart people). The growth of atheists are increasing. Therefore, you know that natural selection is working

Great videos. Thanks for uploading. Please remove the balloons though... they are distraction, and it's a serious topic. Thank you.
