Unlike many of the other people Dawkins has debated against, Archbiship Rowan Williams seems to really know alot about science, in addition to Christianity
-
The tone of this debate is so English. I mean that in the kindest way. No shouting over or simple talk. The priests in the audience came to see Dawkins.
-
could have watched another hour or two of that... i'm a scientist through and through but i found the archbishops intellectual vigor and grip of the issues from both a scientific and theological point of view really impressive and his line of argument really interesting, although i think i share a bit of dawkins' obvious mistrust of some of these philosophically framed questions. just the sort of measured and informed debate the world needs more of.
-
"I think that should keep us going..." Brilliant, I've been looking forward to this :) Thanks for the upload!
-
Sir Kenny was a very good chair at the beginning, but occasionally harped on Dawkins and didn't let the Archbishop speak enough at times... still, he directed the conversation well. Nice clip.

Best comeback I've seen in a long time. +1 internetz to you.
-
Please more !!!!!
-
He is Archbishop of the Anglican church, or the Church of England, not the Catholic Church,
-
I'm not sure it makes Britain unique. But it is one of the few countries.
-
I WANT TO BE THERE AND TALK WITH THESE PEOPLE!!! (sorry for caps, but it was intentional, i was shouting) I have so much to say about this.

Dawkins could do with reading Aristotle who made the distinction between animate and inanimate matter as the problematic of philosophy. Aristotle wrote the 'Physics' as an explanation of inanimate matter and the 'Metaphysics' as an attempt to explain the question 'what is life?' To apply physics to life, whilst tempting, leaves few solutions to the problems of Life and Being.

''Its tough, stuff happens''...OMG Richard Dawkins is such a rock star!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
I'm glad Dawkins found someone he dares to talk with...
-
40:21 Say wwhhaatttttt!!!!??

Hmm, but as usual, stimulating though the discussion certainly was, the difficult questions which are pivotal to a belief in God and by default religion were not addressed. Heaven, hell, life after death, to say more is not necessary.

Total hottie at 1:17:12, laughing at the Archbishop's razor joke.

Why are they messing up agnostism with atheism? An atheist believes there is no god, a theist do. An agnostic believes that the existence of god cannot be proven, a gnostic do. If you ask a person what he would put he's money on if asked if there is a god or not it would be very rare that they are so in the middle of the two that placing a bet would be like flipping a coin! A person who has looked into the issue can't be neither an atheist or a theist!

the belief that something is true does not make it true i can say anything about anything, use reason here.

@BronyEditor God bless Richard Dawkins also :)

It is upsetting when new born life does not have a chance to live due to complications, but this is the random chance evolution proposes, not all living things will have the capabilities to survive all stages of life. Those that do, will continue reproduce, while millions of other proposed life systems will not. Just like the environment chances, so does human forms, and those forms better equipped to the new environment will have higher chance of reproduction.
