- martin2968, on 10/10/2007, -5/+32Dawkins' is the no spin zone.
- Mr_Lyle, on 10/10/2007, -1/+26Thank you so much for this. I've been waiting since part 1 was posted last week.
- gautamf1, on 10/10/2007, -2/+27Dawkins is my hero ... finally someone who has the courage so say ... where others didn't
- theodenking, on 10/10/2007, -0/+21You've gotta love the irony of this hippie trying to tell one of the world's foremost evolutionary biologists that some people don't have double helix DNA...
- pu-z, on 10/10/2007, -1/+19Man, mr. Dawkins is always the gentleman. Even when the rest of us would be bent over double on the floor laughing at the subject. American media, meet your reference point. You have a long way to go.

- Badger80, on 10/10/2007, -1/+15Great documentary, it is good to hear someone spell out just how daft homeopathy is every once in a while, despite the fact that is it considered mainstream by many it is just as kooky as angels on our shoulder, healing chakras and my personal favorite 12 stranded DNA from Atlantis.
- DontFretBrett, on 10/10/2007, -0/+14Haha.. Go to 43:15.. during an interview you see Richard glance over and the video shows a squirrel jump on a tree. It seemed to me to have nothing to do with anything, it was so random I had to LOL. "Excuse me miss, a squirrel is far more interesting than anything you have to say"
- weAREtheBORG, on 10/10/2007, -1/+13stupid ***** religion i hate it so much, it causes such ignorance and uncontrollable idiocy it is not funny face it before we can advance as a species we MUST ban this nonsense and grow the ***** up and get over our this childish belief in something bigger than us and put this archaic uncivilized foolishness behind us.
- fasda, on 10/10/2007, -0/+12because Hovind is a completely irrational person entrenched in an impossible belief so firmly that there is no possible way to convince him other wise.
- NoQuarter, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10About two years ago. Dawkins' "The root of all evil".
Look it up. - RobotCitizen, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10My hero is Batman. He's imaginary too.
- Sassanix, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10http://www.mininova.org/get/848963 here is the torrent for part 2 :)
- HermitZidler, on 10/10/2007, -1/+11Dawkins makes the spin zone stand still.
- Neem, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9Ha! Dawkins is doing all this just to get touched by a whole lot of old hippy ladies without getting in trouble with the Mrs.
Way to go Prof ;) - thewindfish, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8"Most people ARE rational thinkers."
Are you serious? Sure, people use reason every now and then to get things done. However, when it comes to big questions, superstitions and dogmatic faith tend to far outweigh any type of rational thought, at least in the U.S. where I'm from. - omnithought, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8Dawkins has been doing a fine job of waking me up. I used to be into all kinds of kooky new age crap and the more I'm learning about how scientifically unsound most of it is, the more old beliefs I'm finding myself forced by logic to drop. It's not easy though, as there's this irrational part of me that, like Mulder, "wants to believe". However, it is very freeing in a way.
- ICSU, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8Not to mention that the real world and science are far more fascinating than new-age bollocks.
- Scynet, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7And, if not, are ready and willing to change our views and learn of the world.
- mr.gates, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7Hovind is a moron and the reason Dawkins wont debate Hovind is for the same reason most respectable scientist wont debate Astrologist or Tarot card readers. Its just more pseudo science crap and by debating it you are giving it an equal playing field which it does not deserve.
- mikewhite314, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7If I was him I would have said "Do you know who I ***** am, idiot bitch?"
- glasgowm, on 10/10/2007, -1/+7Yes - God is the reason for the placeabo effect.
I logged in just to digg you down - sammael8472, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6Also recommend reading "The God Delusion." I warn you, however, if you read it with your mind only half open, you will still probably be an atheist by the end of the book.
- birdman505, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6everyone has to take a drink every-time Dawkin's says "science".
- RobotCitizen, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6"Most people ARE rational thinkers."
Most people are barely sentient. - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+7I don't mind a dumb down population, it will just increase the probability of creating my empire,I for one welcome myself as a new overlord.
- fasda, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5Mine is the whole host of people who looked specifically at the evidence and reason instead of going by faith and created the world in which so many people can live, be healthy and prosper.
- theodenking, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5That's Professor Dawkins.
- grungegbunny, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5Hundreds of non-faith based charities exist. While you may accredit religion to good, history paints a different story. Religion is responsible for the dark ages, the inquisition, the Crusades, etc..etc..
Religion is capable of spreading hate and indifference as much as you claim it can spread compassion, Atheism only asks for the solid proof of gods existing. - mtrip, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5Sugar pills that convince people they're better are one thing, telling people they have extra DNA strands, or magic chakras, or whatever, is conning them to get their money.
- aralls, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Anyone notice that the end credit song is the Galaxy Song by Eric Idle in Python's Meaning of Life???
- omnithought, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4No, he really didn't. Chopra made himself look like an ass when he claimed that science claims to have all the answers. Science does the opposite of that. It admits it doesn't have all the answers and seeks to fill as many gaps in knowledge as it can.
- TypeEE, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4digg for trying to prove evolution. I would digg if you can prove creationist too, however, they never try to prove
- zeebo, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Creationists have a tactic called the 'Gish Gallop' where they simply spout more and more non-related nonsensical things in rapid succession. Moreover, even if you do manage to adequately refute one of these claims they'll still continue to spout it, typically asserting that any evidence that you can provide either is totally invalid because it was fabricated by the scientific conspiracy, or is somehow evidence for their position.
The scientist can often come off looking bad, and the creationist is given a pulpit from which to preach. Audience members already on his side are reinforced in their opinion of creationism since they see that the creationist is given equal standing as the scientist, and those on the fence can be persuaded by the nonsense since the scientist typically can't get the time to respond to it all.
Not to mention that in a debate format there is little time to prepare and present evidence, which is what the scientist really needs to be able to display to 'win', which puts them at a severe disadvantage. - fasda, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4yes it works well some of the time but if you had a malignant cancer and you were given a placebo instead of chemotherapy you'd still have cancer
- NoQuarter, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4MMR has never, ever had any thiomersal present. There is a quite simple reason for this. MMR is a live vaccine of attenuated viruses. THIOMERSAL WOULD INACTIVATE IT.
This is a commonly repeated mistake, some people who aren't quite such obvious lunatics as my friend above also believe it, but it is an absolute untruth. - NoQuarter, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4If someone wants their taxes spent on homoeopathic hospitals (the less the better?) can we deny them the life-saving chemotherapy, surgery and antibiotics they need when they do get ill?
- NSResponder, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4And how is it better to pay frauds to lie to you about your prognosis?
-jcr - minoss, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4He doesn't want to outlaw anything. He just wants these people shown for what they really are, preying on the weakness of others to make money. Not once in this video or any of his video's does he say anything about religion or alternative medicine should be outlawed. People are able to do anything they want so long as it doesn't affect me or my tax dollars.
- sonycam, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Quite fitting that the programme advertised afterwards was The Oldest People in the World, some of whom lived across three centuries. I watched that programme aswell, none of them had even heard of alternative medicines.
- TypeEE, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4It reminds me of the Wii episode of southpark. Even if there are no religion, human will believe in different type of atheism which result in wars.
- artofwar420, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3OH awesome, thanks dude.
- NoQuarter, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4Did you listen to Chopra? He effectively recreated what quantum physics was to fit some ridiculous spiritual point of view. His explanation of quantum physics had nothing to do with the real science.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3 So very true.
And I know people who believe in that...Along with when you candle an ear,the ear can blow smoke rings,(Yes, I was told this.) paying someone to permit you to put your feet in their special bucket of water and said water will remove toxins (like your kidneys can't) and other nonsense.
it truly astounds me that people swallow this nonsense hook,line and sinker. - diggitydoc, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4inexplicable like the movement of the stars to ancient people? or maybe like genetics before Mendel? or bacteria before germ theory? idiot.
i also logged in just to digg you down. go back under your rock. - omnithought, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Have you seen his wife? I'd rather be touched by her. However, Salman Rushdie is the pinnacle of the ugly genius gets hottie wife category. Padma Lakshmi FTW.
- withoutgod, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3"People should be free to spend their own money on whatever they believe will work"
...yes, and he said almost the exact thing in the video. Something to the effect of "If people want to use whatever substances they want in the privacy of their own homes then fine". His contention is that this unfounded pseudoscience has no place in public health...and certainly that no government should be endorsing it without submitting it to the same rigors that other medicines must pass. Watch the video again, i think you missed the point. - ICSU, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3We don't need to ban; that would go against free thinking.
We need to stop supporting religions by giving them money and letting them pay no taxes. - ICSU, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Even if it was true, hagbard72, it would not change the fact that homoeopathy is a scam.
