I have watched the Youtube video, but reading it is even better. As it slow down the conversation enough to rethink some of the good points made. All religions are bullshit. No doubt about that.

“Science can chip away at agnosticism, in a way that Huxley bent over backwards to deny for the special of God. I am arguing that, notwithstanding the polite abstinence of Huxley, Gould and many others, the God question is not in principle and forever outside the remit of science. As with the nature...

Dawkins' book makes a perfectly coherent and informative case that atheism should be taken seriously and religious belief scrutinised more severely. It identifies that Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection had a pivotal place in the history of ideas, by describing a mechanism by which al...

It has been ages since I bought a non-fiction, let alone a scientific non-fiction (I had my days when I read heaps of books on socialism). I have my regret that I did not bought those Selidik National Geog...
