  • I love Dawkins, but what's with these questions? They could do better than this.

  • these are awful presenters its a wierd interview

  • the girl radio host's voice gave me an erection

  • She must be really, really, ridiculously good looking.

  • In fact that's why Richard forgets what he's talking about at 2:40, he blushing lol!

  • @thefutureboom LMAO so true

    

  • i cant tell yet why he wants people to convert to atheism,

    by the end of the book to be atheists, err why?

  • @tobiosnmakky

    Because of the concept that science is the search for truth and science has unfailingly lead us to atheism. He doesn't care if you personally want to believe in whatever religion you want, but when your religious beliefs effect politics, science, education, and society you have to have some sort of proof that it is truth and not opinion.

  • I wish Dawkins was my grandad

  • You have Dawkins, I'll have Hitchens as my dad, then we can be friends!

  • Hehehe

  • A giant Aardvark named Ronald created the Universe.

    ...Can you disprove him Creationists? No? Therefore he exists. I win.

    Pray to Ronald.

  • Who is that woman on the radio station jointly conducting the interview? It sounds terribly like Ann Druyan, don't you think?

  • Atheism is the default position. I'm an atheist untill you can prove there's a god. I'm not going to say that pink unicorns MAY exist simple because I can't disprove them. You do reach a point where an absence of evidence IS evidence of absence.

  • The greatest mind on earth (scientists) must think beyond facts. They generate a hypothesis; one must push the boundaries of facts into an area beyond known facts to a place of the expanded mind. This is a regular practice among the intellect. To bad you are unable or unwilling to do this. Einstein was able to push decades beyond the known facts; he was ahead of his time. Just like those that know there is a God. It is thru inductive reasoning that some of us come to this conclusion.

  • "The greatest mind on earth (scientists) must think beyond facts" LOL that cheered me up, thanks!

  • I'm a little confused, are you in agreement or are you being sarcastic? It seems as if you are having a hard time with this concept. A hypothesis is a movement beyond fact that needs to be proven. That's what scientific testing is attempting to establish, it tries to prove what was once an untested thought. Without this action there would be no intellectual advancement.

  • You're correct to say it cannot be proven either way. But why is the burden of proof on the atheists? I'm sure you've heard of Russell's teapot. Is it not as likely as an all-seeing, all-knowing, all-powerful deity who nonetheless allows horrible things to happen to the undeserving yet still asks our love? It is one thing to philosophically contend that God exists, but it is exasperating to atheists that this religion is ingrained in children who are too young to ponder such things on their own.

  • That's good, now thing that thru a bit:

    We can't prove X is not true, therefor we can have no opinion on X.

    X could be God, Yahwey, Thor, Jesus, Zues, Fairies, the Flying Spagetti Monster.

    But, do we REALLY need PROOF to have and opinion? I don't have proof, but I think the Red WIngs are a good hockey teem. I DO have some EVIDENCE that they are. So I hold that OPINION.

    Likewise, there is good evidence that the likelyhood of there being a god is quiet low. So, I hold that OPION.

  • Neat! Haven't heard this one yet. And it's cool that it comes from before the God Delusion was published in the US.
