Richard Dawkins at Randolph Macon

What it says. This is 2 parts. The 1st part is roughly 30 minutes and comprises of Richard Dawkins' selective readings from his book, The God Delusion. The 2nd is slightly aover an hour and is a Q&A session.

Vids after the jump.






Part 1 - Selective readings.
























Part 2 - Q&A



* Okay, so I just finished watching the Q&A. There's a lot of people pushing religion, including an annoyingly boring group of Liberty University students who are asking incredibly dumb and nonsensical questions either in an attempt to rob Dawkins of time discussing real issues or perhaps in hopes that they will somehow stump him. Some of the questions are embarrassingly idiotic, such as the "critical thinking and evolution" [paraphrase] question @ 26:00. I would love to ask Dawkins of his views on cybernetic implants, from RFID IDs to actual neural and optical implants and if such self-created manipulation somewhat constituted a form of evolution, obviously not on a genetic level.

There is also the cheeky dismissal at the end where Dawkins' advises any Liberty U students to leave the school if, in fact, they do have a dinosaur fossil on display that is claimed to be only 3,000 years old.
