Richard Dawkins on CNN's Connect the World

Buy the book from RDF: http://bit.ly/TGSOE

September 22, 2009 on CNN

Richard Dawkins tore into religious comfort zones with his claim that God is a delusion, and it seems the British ethologist, evolutionary biologist and author will stop at nothing to provoke intelligent debate about the truth of our existence.

His writings have inspired and angered many and now hes back with more.

The fervent atheist and anti-creationist is often referred to as Charles Darwins rottweiler. Now, to celebrate Darwins bi-centenary, Dawkins has published a new book: The Greatest Show on Earth offers scientific evidence to back-up his own theory of evolution.

This is obviously not American cable news. Everyone got a moment to speak uninterrupted.

Stupid questions

@sophmore90 Yes.

@aznsupageek Can't the same thing be said about religion? 

[aznsupageek]

I feel like Dawkins has deluded himself into thinking that evolution is a fact. Evolution is a theory because it has not been proven and will never be proven unless someone creates a time machine and goes through all of time.

@camthejock You're right that it wasn't one-on-one, nor was it particularly formal. I think, however, that the idea that a formal debate is required in order for Craig to appear convincing simply shows that he is a professional debater. Dawkins is not. He has stated that he will no longer participate in these staged debates, where the point is not to come to a conclusion, but to win points, but he is willing to have an informal discussion. Craig is a good debater, but that's about all he's got.
