On Saturday, March 8th, 2008, Richard Dawkins gave this lecture on The God Delusion during his US Tour. The event took place on the UC Berkeley campus in Wheeler Auditorium, and was completely sold out. A line of hopeful attendees stretched around the side of the building, waiting to see if there would be any 'no-show' tickets at the last minute! There was a Q&A session that followed the talk, which will be posted to the site soon.

  • In my experience all 4-year-olds are socialists.

     :-)

  • Christian TV preachers preach logic and critical thinking?!? Since when did this happen?! Convincing thousands of viewers to donate a million dollars because "God said so" doesn't sound like logic to me.

    I'm a vegetarian, by the way. Live in a family of ardent meat eaters. A child being "indoctrinated" to eat healthier shouldn't "anger" anyone. However, indoctrinating children to accept every word of a hateful, racist, ancient book of fairy tales is a menace to society.

  • I find it rather glaring, that Catholics expect their children to confirm at the age of about 13. I was confirmed, and when I tell me family I'm an Agnostic, who disbelieves in the christian god, my siblings are told I am a catholic, B/C I was confirmed. What reason had I, at 13, to understand the symbolic meaning of this indoctrination ritual.

  • Infidel is a fantastic book, I wish I had enough money to purchase all of those..

  • I like the zoom in on Richard Dawkins face at 5:48 when his voice starts getting more intense, because it makes it seem that much more dramatic. None the less he is a brilliant man

  • @mohfoz77 bad proposition. History is based of hardcore evidence. Now you wanna make religion History? :P

  • I personally don't see the need of the God hypothesis for explaining natural phenomena, like organic life and the motion of the planets. Actually, as Dr. Neil Tyson points out, this assumption actually delays scientific progress. If He/She/It is out there, it's for something else...

  • @JoeyArrow Thanks, much appreciated

  • @cleaboy1 It's God: The Failed Hypothesis. How Science Shows That God Does Not Exist by Victor J. Stenger,
