Richard Dawkins

Published 150 years ago, Charles Darwin's On the Origin of Species changed everything--science, religion, and even humanity's image of itself. Join Professor Richard Dawkins as he explains exactly how Darwin developed his revolutionary theory of evolution and why it's still relevant today. How do species evolve? What does "natural selection" mean in biology, politics, sociology, and philosophy? With passionate certainty, Dawkins provides answers, positing evolution as a matter of fact, not faith. In addition to interviewing scientific experts such as geneticist Craig Venter and paleoanthropologist Richard Leakey, Dawkins speaks with Dr. Rowan Williams, Archbishop of Canterbury, and other religious leaders about the existence of a Creator. Provocative, informative, and irresistibly watchable, this award-winning documentary offers lively new insights on an idea that still meets stubborn resistance.

Evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins explains why he no longer debates creationists: he feels his presence only validates their status. "Would you, if you were a geographer, agree to have a debate with a flat-Earther?"

Biologist Richard Dawkins identifies what he views is the single most compelling fact to refute Creationism -- but says the real problem lies in getting Creationists to listen to the evidence.

Richard Dawkins urges all atheists to openly state their position -- and to fight the incursion of the church into politics and science. A fiery, funny, powerful talk.
