In this video, Richard Dawkins is interviewed by the Rational Response Squad while on his book tour for “The God Delusion.” They discuss how scientists and atheists should and should not engage theists in discussions about god, evolution, and irrational theist ideas. Again the idea that religion should be subject to criticism as political, economic, or artistic views are subject to criticism.

what’s with that fucking bullshit rap garbage on the mp3. Who the fuck want to listen to that?
What came first the chicken or the egg? This question is a legitimate question, and can be answered. Do you know the answer?
What came first the chicken or the egg? This question is a legitimate question, and can be answered.
A chicken is just an egg’s way of making another egg.
This is an interesting question, what came first, the chicken or the egg? This is a question that evolutionists from Charles Darwin down have been asking. I would like to hear the likes of Richard Dawkins explain this, because I know of a source that can answer this very question.
I know full well that this is a site for athiests, so I might as well come out and say that I am a commited Christian. I have a conviction that the chicken and the egg were both created by God. Lets first look at the complexity of these things. In evolution, the egg and the chicken came about by chance, with no logic or reason, which is interesting, because the likes of Dawkins tell us that these things are completely un scientific.
Many of you will belittle me because of my faith, and no, I can’t “prove” through a physical process of the existance of God. However, to really think that what we see in the physical world is all there is really is in actuallity putting ourselves in the place of God. To me that is quite presumptuous, and doesn’t make any sense at all.
Evolution is an out and out lie. I would rather believe that I am “fearfully and wonderfully made” than some kind of accident or coincidence. If people stopped believing in this crap and got a revelation of who they really are, then we would see a sharp decrease in suicide, drug use, and alcaholism, which cause so much destruction in society. You may consider me to be a cook, or a moron, but I would rather be someone who is purchased by a God who loves me than living a life of utter selfishness with the prospect of eternity in hell, separated by all love. Please consider my words carefully without judgement and find true life. God bless you.
That might be one of the least intellectually appealing comments I have ever read. As Carl Sagan said “The Universe does not conform to our preferences.” You just admitted that you believe something because it appeals to your desires. Though I am compelled to tell you this is terribly illogical, I don’t suppose it makes a difference. You mental faculties are so obviously damaged from religion that you wouldn’t be able to handle the truth. Continue in your fairy tales and enjoy your false happiness.
As for the “God bless you” part, well…. Thanks, but no thanks.
I Corey M. Davis happens to be the worst news for atheism period. Please inject radio-actice particles into a gorrilla, so athiest can create King Kong, the king of apes and atheist. No, the gorrilla will not mutate into a human but, it will be a 50 foot tall gorrilla.
One day if I become wealthy I will cross the genes of apes and men. To make the planet of the apes real. Then indoctrinate these apes into the socialist parties. Plus, if I also make metal angle robots, they will feed these animals, by dropping bananas on them. From heavenly greek looking blimp technology platform towns in the sky. I am tired of atheist and believers in God, just sitting and talking. Why don’t they both go to labratories and make wierd stuff?
I’ll have a pint of whatever Corey M. Davis is drinking!
If the Planet of the Apes was real, which would be better, heaven, hell, The Planet of the Apes or to live with King Kong, if he was real.
sorry, where is rss feed of your blog?
