The lady at the beginning did a wonderful and funny intro. That set the mood to a very good Talk by Richard Dawkins about his new book(well not so new book now). Enjoy

Sheesh, you guys are obsessed with Dawkins.

You do realize that he`s just another greedy capitalist, don`t you? He`s found his niche and a minion of followers to finance him. The ironies are too many to mention.

^ honestly? *Just another greedy capitalist*? He dedicated his life to the understanding of evolution. He is one of the most premier Biologists in the world. The man deserves the highest of honors. From those who regard reason, understanding and physical evidence. As more important then hear-say, delusion and ignorance. He is a treasure to humanity.

To dismiss such a brilliant man as *just another* anything. Shows how ignorant and ill-informed you are.

Anyone who makes a living through selling their skills/services/wares/products.... is a capitalist. I love when people try to use capitalism or the pursuit of profit through voluntary interaction as a symbol for their fucked economies and financial hardship. Yeah, the problem with our current financial situation is that people are allowed to trade freely, oh the chaos! Clearly the solution is to abolish profits, "regulate" every interaction and homogenize income. MICHAEL MOORE, SAVE US!!!!!

Charnal, I`m not dismissing him...I am dismissing YOU. Get over your obsession. He`s just a man making millions over a topic that is no longer as important as you would like to believe.

In fact, I praise Dawkins for his success. He`s realized the American Dream. And as I`ve said numerous times, I have no problem with his beating this dead horse since that`s how he makes his living.

You, Charnal, on the other hand, are just another dweeb preaching to the choir on the internet and not changing any minds or gaining anything from it. I suppose if it feels good, go for it. Perhaps when you are older you will realize what a waste of time it all was...I know I have.
