I have tremendous respect for Richard Dawkins. As I am a biologist by nature, I admire the way we can speak on the topic of biology with a respect and excitement that till now, I've only seen in the religious when speaking of their faith. Dawkins is not admired by everyone, in fact he is targeted by many as an enemy to their religious beliefs because he makes no compromise to his views to make them more comfortable. I actually respect that, because NOBODY should have to compromise their beliefs to make another comfortable. (With respect for Rachel's recent post I must point out this is only the case when the beliefs of one do not cause unavoidable harm to another human) I understand there are religious people in this world, and I understand there are non-religious people in this world. And saying that, I think they can co-exist just fine once they both start acting like adults.
Here is Dawkin's latest program shown on Brittish Television: The Enemies of Reason (in two parts)
