"The Genius of Charles Darwin" won "Best TV Documentary Series of 2008" at the British Broadcast Awards.

Randolph Nesse is the co-author of "Why We Get Sick: The New Science of Darwinian Medicine" (along with George C. Williams).

Richard Dawkins is a British ethologist, evolutionary biologist and popular science author. He was formerly Professor for Public Understanding of Science at Oxford University. He was voted Britain's leading public intellectual by readers of Prospect magazine and was named one of Time Magazine's "100 Most Influential People" for 2007.

Dawkins came to prominence with his 1976 book "The Selfish Gene", which popularised the gene-centred view of evolution and introduced the term "meme". He is a prominent critic of creationism and intelligent design. In his 1986 book "The Blind Watchmaker", he argued against the watchmaker analogy, an argument for the existence of a supernatural creator based upon the complexity of living organisms. Instead, he described evolutionary processes as analogous to a blind watchmaker. He has since written several popular science books, and makes regular television and radio appearances, predominantly discussing these topics.

Dawkins is an atheist, secular humanist, sceptic, scientific rationalist, and supporter of the Brights movement. In his 2006 book "The God Delusion", he contends that a supernatural creator almost certainly does not exist and that faith qualifies as a delusion − as a fixed false belief.

God must be a fan of Picasso.

I think this guy just converted me to star wars.

[Typho0n86]

the title should be; Intelligent Design, killing our mordern life style!

[kev3d]

If by "Killing Us" he means living longer, fuller lives than ever before, then yes. I'd rather die obese and happy at 85 than thin and plague ridden at 12.

@livingdeadgrl18

my grammar is like that because English is not my native language.

and my language is very incompatible with English grammar.

[livingdeadgrl18]

@deltaxcd Based on your grammar I doubt you have a very in depth understanding of anything other than what's on TV at the moment.

@livingdeadgrl18

no, I don't have official paper on that field but I have some knowledge in that field which is way beyond average doctor.

my specialty is a bit different.

do you men that if I buy appropriate paper from local university, it will make all my words true.

If that matters, I have degree in electronic, and one student in same class got same degree while he has no clue if capacitor is different from resistor.

So it cant be used as any proof of knowledge.

[livingdeadgrl18]

@deltaxcd Let me rephrase my question then. Do you have a degree in the specified field?
