Richard Dawkins On Al Jazeera English

"July 21st, 2008 interview, Richard Dawkins appears on Al Jazeera English for a discussion with Riz Khan". For his hardcore "followers" there should be nothing new to hear, however I do hope there`s people here who will learn some new things from the video. Cheers.

if we all came from adam and haven`t evolved, why do we all look different?
the second world war comment was missing facts too, both the germans and japanese felt they had a divine right to rule the world, religion (indirectly) caused it.

^^True but it is important to understand culture and history, also you need to know your enemy, so you better give a fuck.

heh there are so many things wrong with believing that we came from one man and one woman.

People who tend to reject evolution don`t really understand it. As evident by some of the viewer mails.

OMG!... about the second world war... why did he dodge the question like that..! Im a strong atheist, and evolutionist... but why didn`t he catch that comment?

The caller was talking about how hitler was trying to exterminate all the "weak" races and kill off all the weak handicaped and such to create the strong arian race...

(it`s not wrong in the sense that you could breed humans like dogs and horses, to get a stronger, smarter, faster, taller, more beautiful human, but its morally wrong! and no reason to do it! thats what we have natural selection for)

^the problem with that line of thinking is that you could argue things like "jews are the race most prone to recieve a Nobel", the point being you cannot know what is better for the species cuz the whole point of evolution is that the most adapted specimens (selfish gene really) survive, thus making uncontrollable things like climate very important.

^^^ Nirah - yea but taking a gun and shooting someone doesn`t correspond to the survival of the fitess or natural selection lol

If we use the argument that most evil dictator are atheist.. how about USA now? In god we trust? or Iran, or Iraq, or etc... all those country use religion to control its civilian!

It was like that in England a long time ago, luckily its no more!

The idea that WW2 happened because of evolution is basically saying there wasn`t racism before Darwin.

"Peace be upon him" LOL. Do you not realise when your messiah is just taking the piss? `Oh yeah, and... every time you say my name, you`ve got to say "Peace be upon him" afterwards.`

If one of your friends friends said that, you`d be like "Fuck you."

I would once again like to point out how much more civilized and intelligent Al Jazeera is than many American news channels.

I`m shocked at how civil everyone on that segment behaved. An interview with Dawkins would not have played out this way on an American news network.
