Race, Science, Religion & Evolution - Richard Dawkins

Fascinating man. Unlike basically all the podcast elite out there, he says things like "I don't know" and "I am not sure. "

Straight to the comment section.

I knew an atheist who failed his algebra class because he couldn’t calculate exponents. He didn’t believe in a higher power.

Dr Dawkins is not an easy interviewee. But I couldn't help noticing throughout many of conversations I've watched with him that he lights up when the conversation switches from religion and other abstract stuff to his area of passion and expertise - biology. I get it, his opinions on religion may bring initial clicks, but it's the biology conversation that is the real main course of the night. Frankly, I would be happy to find an interview with him with questions solely about biology. Chris, thank you for your work as always. P.S. the lights in the studio look like sabers ⚔️ pointing at each other 😂

After reading some of the comments, I thought I would clarify that atheists don't "believe in nothing'", nor do we think that "everything is meaningless". We simply don't believe in the existence of god or gods.

"10:35 Energy rather makes me reach for my revolver" LMAO

Piers Morgan needs to take some interview tips from Chris. What a difference!

Dawkins doesn't waste words. He seems almost reluctant to answer questions, which is very rare for a podcast guest nowadays. Maybe it's a consequence of having his words relentlessly misquoted, misrepresented or simply misunderstood? He seems to only answers questions fully when talking about biology, everything else he presumes he has said before or is self evident.

Being epistemologically humble is such a wonderful trait, and Mr Dawkins embodies it to perfection.
