I'm continuously impressed by how this show switches effortlessly between comedy and serious debate. Please keep it up.

[@carlsaganlives4141]

Yes! One of a kind for sure. I wish some of his guests would run for office,so many make a lot of sense - probably why they're not politicians!

[@Stand_By_For_Mind_Control]

In my country, Donald Trump will have a library named after him and Richard Dawkins will not. I see this as a serious fucking problem.

They're already collecting the books for the Donald J. Trump Presidential Library. 34 coloring books, 100,000 copies of The Art of the Deal, one copy of The Turner Diaries, 1 bound copy of his tweets and a space reserved for the transcripts of his impeachment hearings. Oh, can't forget about the wall art....50 portraits of Trump by 50 different artists. It'll be the greatest presidential library ever!

He sounds like he recovered from the stroke well. Glad to see him back to 100%. It was hard to see Richard slurring his words and struggling to speak after he had the stroke. Such a wordsmith should never have to endure that.

Enduring that will only make him better, this is where legends excel.

You can see it has left a slight mark in the difference between the way the left- and right-halves of his mouth move. It's subtle, but it's there if you look. But you're right, it's great to see him back.

in my state (a christian state in india) churches are taking initiatives creating awareness about climate change for the past few years and we have no problem teaching evolution to students despite our beliefs , i'm surprised that in such a developed country (USA) these are still a major issue , i feel like politicians are encouraging ignorance among christians .

[@SS-yr3ij]

sach kin As I understand its not the whole of US which has this problem its mainly some backwater southern states or among those mormon types.. As for India the issue is different we are more concerned about history and religion. If u go to the northern states like Rajasthan or Gujarat the right wing ideology is very visible in history books. Then again the reason y climate change and evolution is not touched to an extent is cos most of the syllabuses material is from the central govt which changes every now and then all schools including christian and state schools adopt that syllabus

[@shywarrior865]

your so wrong, to be believe in science you must also have faith , imagine believing world started in bigbang, nobody saw it, but still athiest beleve, it takes faith to believe it.Science writer Lincoln Barnett, in his book, The Universe and Dr. Einstein, commented that the continuing discoveries of modern science have made it “more difficult” to ignore the idea of God (1959, 22), science and faith are compatible., religion believe their is gd in creation, and evoluyionist believe matter and energy collide, the bigbang create theuniverse., that is incompatible.

[@caramel7050]

hungry worm Except, you're wrong. _"to be believe in science you must also have faith"_ You don't have to "believe in science". Science presents facts-- facts just _are._ They're not something you believe in. _"imagine believing world started in bigbang, nobody saw it, but still athiest beleve,"_ Bahaha. We have more than enough evidence to make the Big Bang a scientific theory. Again, it's not just believing. _We have reasons to think that this thing did happen._ That's like saying "Nobody saw dinosaurs, but still, people believe they existed!" Well holy fuck, I wonder what the thousands upon thousands of fossil records are? Same goes for things like the redshift of galaxies and expansion of the universe. We don't exactly know _how_ the Big Bang happened, but we know that it was what got the universe as we know it going. Wether or not the universe already was before the Big Bang-- that comes down to hypothesis. _"it takes faith to believe it."_ It takes faith to believe claims without evidence. The Big Bang, as I said, has evidence. _"Science writer Lincoln Barnett, in his book, The Universe and Dr. Einstein, commented that the continuing discoveries of modern science have made it “more difficult” to ignore the idea of God."_ And that proves anything..how? There are plenty of religious scientists. So? That doesn't mean they're in the right. Much less a "science writer" from the 50s. That was his opinion- which is not a fact. _"science and faith are compatible."_ Correct. _,"religion believe their is gd in creation,"_ Yes, which, if taken literally as it happened in the Bible would be objetively impossible and a ridiculous fable. It already is, anyway. _"and evoluyionist believe matter and energy collide,"_ You have an inherent misconception of what evolution is, it seems. The Big Bang is unrelated to evolution. Evolution is the process with which species develop. It doesn't attempt to explain _how_ the species got here in the first place. This doesn't help your case, bud. Evolutionists study the ways in which species evolve. It's not a belief, it's a fact. _"the bigbang create theuniverse.,"_ Again, unrelated. And for your information, there can be theists who also believe in evolution. The Catholic church publicly accepts it. _"that is incompatible."_ Well, duh. Of course science and mythology are incompatible. Facts are facts, tales aren't real.

[@faktafakta316]

So believing we might have come from a god is crazier than believing me might have come from aliens...neither of which is rooted in science but Dawkins has made claims to the alien theory. I'm nit even religious but once u do your "own" research on evolution you will see that life is based on time+chance= life. Science is not based on chance.....but evolition is. How can evolution therefore be science?

[@JellyTrackmaster]

Your question is answered in multiple books by Dawkins. Evolution is surprising and interesting because it has identifiable trends and we can predict its outcomes. It's the opposite of random chance.

[@garrydye2394]

@@JellyTrackmaster then u dont understand evolution. Do more research amd you will see the beginning of life is based ln chance....the first sequence of fhe first protien molecule is based on randomness and chance. Resesrch it. The theory of evolition has come a long way since Darwins study of fitches. And Dawkins believes we came from an intelligent life form....this form is Aliens.

[@LouisKing995]

linkone11 An evolutionary biologist is someone who dedicates their study to the evolutionary process, it’s not a redundant label. It’s a field which draws on other fields of biology to a specific end.

[@linkone11]

Yes, but Professor Dawkins use that title to further his educational agenda, of which I am complete agreement. If you have a scientific background, you know about lumpers and splitters, I will not go there, it's a long term argument in science; since you are watching this I will assume you know the basics of biological inquiry, the self correcting scientific method applies here; Darwin's Origin of Species set out the initial observational evidence that all of biology is grounded in the evolution of species; after 159 years of scrutiny it stands up; later evidence of Mendel, T.H. Morgan and Crick and Watson further supports the fact that evolution is the cornerstone of biology; that being said, I really like the Horny Fruit Flies name, wish I'd thought of that, when my son was 6 years old his first pets were fruit flies, when as an undergraduate I had to reproduce T.H. Morgan's fruit fly experiments

SC 105.1 God never asks us to believe, without giving sufficient evidence upon which to base our faith. His existence, His character, the truthfulness of His word, are all established by testimony that appeals to our reason; and this testimony is abundant. Yet God has never removed the possibility of doubt. Our faith must rest upon evidence, not demonstration. Those who wish to doubt will have opportunity; while those who really desire to know the truth will find plenty of evidence on which to rest their faith. SC 105.2

Evolution, like all scientific phenomenons, doesn't rely on beliefs, but in observation and evidence, instead. Therefore, regarding evolution for instance, the term "believing" is incorrect. The right term to be utilized should be "agreement" or "acceptance" of it's existence as a biological fact.

I know most people of their ideaology think you should tell it how it is and not compromise, but I think you should talk to people, just calling them idiots will not make them listen to u.

Julian Bluefeather Wow, this is very true. I admire your approach contrast to many atheist's hatred for all things religion.

[@DanBrown96]

That is laudable but I'm afraid the environment is not the immediate victim of religion. People are dying left and right, EVERY DAY. Saving trees is not going to help them.

MadAboutSaffron Red I'm not saying it is but people like Maher and Hawkins want Americans to get on board with scientific issues but they think the was to do that is to call them idiots and insult the most important aspect of their culture. I think that we should try to reason with them, as many people accept both and science together, it is possible to get people to support the environment if you talk to them the right way.

Except they don't JUST call them idiots.....they have and continue to explain themselves thoroughly. They even did it here?!?! And you say "just calling them idiots"?!? Ridiculous. Put your feels aside and actually listen to them give mounds of evidence and reason.
