Oxford professor Richard Dawkins presents a series of lectures on life, the universe, and our place in it. With brilliance and clarity, Dawkins unravels an educational gem that will mesmerize young and old alike. Illuminating demonstrations, wildlife, virtual reality, and special guests (including Douglas Adams) all combine to make this collection a timeless classic.
The Royal Institution Christmas Lectures for Children were founded by Michael Faraday in 1825, with himself as the inaugural lecturer. The 1991 lecturer was Richard Dawkins whose five one-hour lectures, originally televised by the BBC, are now available free online, courtesy of The Richard Dawkins Foundation for Reason and Science. The entire 5-hour program is also available on a 2-DVD set through our online store. http://richarddawkins.net/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&products...
The DVD includes subtitles in English, Spanish, French and Polish.

What's interesting is that Christians never seem to have an explanation for the Pitcher Plant desolving insects or the common fly's maggots consuming a corpse or the lion devouring an antelope...in the oh-so perfect and deathless Garden of Eden.

@AlhiFalaNashoba You called Richard Dawkins a bigot and called him gay in the same paragraph, wow. Any atheist that uses Bible texts to disprove religion is a sub-species of humanity, one that you belong in as well, called idiots. Atheism just means you don't believe in a god or gods, because there is no evidence for it, there is nothing arrogant about it.

Richard Dawkins should be forced to have more babies or he should be cloned.
