Title: Ep3: Climbing Mount Improbable - Growing Up in the Universe - Richard Dawkins

Added: Feb 7, 2009

Author: richarddawkinsdotnet

Duration: 57:48

Description:
http://richarddawkins.net/growingupintheuniverseOxford professor Richard Dawkins presents a series of lectures on life, the universe, and our place in it. With brilliance and clarity, Dawkins unravels an educational gem that will mesmerize young and old alike. Illuminating demonstrations, wildlife, virtual reality, and special guests (including Douglas Adams) all combine to make this collection a timeless classic. The Royal Institution Christmas Lectures for Children were founded by Michael Faraday in 1825, with himself as the inaugural lecturer. The 1991 lecturer was Richard Dawkins whose five one-hour lectures, originally televised by the BBC, are now available free online, courtesy of The Richard Dawkins Foundation for Reason and Science. The entire 5-hour program is also available on a 2-DVD set through our online store. http://richarddawkins.net/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=5The DVD includes subtitles in English, Spanish, French and Polish.

Oct 28, 2011 - Hmm, blind deaf and dumb cannot "climb". It is pathetic that these evolutionists need to use some figure of speech or metaphor that would describe what an intelligent source would do and place it over some natural process that wholly lacks any intelligence at all. If they were really truthful they would just say: Since evolution and natural selection lacks intelligence: is blind, deaf and dumb, there is no chance of it climbing mt. improbable or accomplishing anything regarding biological life.

Oct 28, 2011 - @Olikiscrazy Uh, many Christians don't teach their kids about "Santan" Claus. In any case you don't teach your kids about Santa do you? Did your atheist parents teach you about Santa?

Jan 26, 2012 - I sometimes picture early 90's era Dawkins when I make love to my boyfriend. He knows this and finds it hilarious. He pictures Christopher Hitchens. Joke. But yes, these Christmas Lectures in particular drive me WILD. On several levels, they're beautifully worded and wonderfully accessible, but mainly his face is just so damn delicious anno 1991. Perfect features, hot brain. And then there's the hands. And don't get me started on the EPIC shirts. I'm more giddy in my desires than a monkey.
