Richard Dawkins justifies science in one minute, with the perfect final word.
If there is one thing that annoys Richard Dawkins besides the general public’s science illiteracy, it is when people label him as strident. It seems to be a label he can’t escape. Even fellow atheists admit Dawkins’ lack of ability to relate to anyone of less intelligence. You have to sympathize with the man. When every day he has to battle absolute idiots that insist the world was created six thousand years ago, it is hard to fault him. If you haven’t had the opportunity to see Richard Dawkins read his hate mail then you are mess. I recommend checking out that beauty of a video the right now.
Strident may be a label that tracks him until his grave but this clip shows a bit of humor that is not always promoted. Richard Dawkins justifies science in on minute and then proceeds to tag on an extra word to emphasis his point. A perfect response to the question asked.
He might be strident, but there is no doubt Dawkins has a sense of humor.
Bitches
During this interview with Richard Dawkins, an audience member claims science is the same as religion when it comes to it’s justification and in turn asks Richard to justify putting trust in science rather than religion. Dawkins responds quickly with a perfect answer. We know science works because we’ve built planes that fly. We know that science works because we’ve built cars that drive. Science has been tested. In fact that is exactly what science is. Testing. At least, in the most simplest of terms. When Richard Dawkins justifies science in one minute, he does so much more eloquently than I.
Dawkins porbably couldn’t have said it any better.
It’s not often when get to see Richard Dawkins so relaxed. Do you have any other examples? Apart from the video of Dawkins reading his hate mail, this is one of the few times he lets loose. If you have any examples or stories lets us know in the comments!
