What a gem! Took me 6 weeks to stumble upon this, thanks for posting!

Wonderful! I wish there was more Richard on TV. 'Root of All Evil?' and 'The Enemies of Reason' only began to tell the story. We need a series based around 'The Ancestor's Tale' for starters. Maybe now he's writing a book on the physical evidence for evolution we'll get something. It would be cool to see him crawling around the Galapagos looking at finches.

Yes, i can positively say Dawkines has reinstated my interest in science. Thank you RD!

What an inpsiring, thought-provoking lecture. He writes brilliantly and also speaks very well - a genuine delight. We can only hope for more like Dawkin, Feynman, Gould and Sagan in the future. -PEACE-

You're nuts comparing an intelligent, lucid scientist like Dr Dawkins with a grotesqe, fat brain-damaged clown like Falwell who spent his time stirring up hate between people with his nasty, twisted version of christianity; which had, in fact, nothing christian about it.Falwell had a mind like an open sewer. Give us a break with your stupid comparisons; they're an insult to our intelligence.

This is so good, so sound and intelligent. Yummy!

I don't have a problem what anyone believes, but I hate when people are self-righteous and arrogant about it. People like Dawkins and Falwell are like this. I must say though, I think we can both agree that this is a beautiful speech and shows true love of something as beautiful as science.

Personally, I find him no different than Falwell. It's not hatred when you question religion but when you attack decent people that only benefit society solely because they believe in deity, that becomes hatred.
