Bill O'Reilly vs. Richard Dawkins on 'The Magic of Reality'

The Magic of Reality by Richard Dawkins, Illustrated by Dave McKean

What are things made of?
What is the sun?
Why do bad things happen?

Throughout history people all over the world have invented stories to answer profound questions such as these. Have you heard the tale of how the sun hatched out of an emu's egg? Or what about the great catfish that carries the world on its back? These fantastical myths are fun -- but what is the real answer to such questions?

The Magic of Reality presents the real story of the world around us, taking us on an enthralling journey through scientific reality, and showing that it has an awe-inspiring beauty and thrilling magic which far exceed those of the ancient myths.

We encounter rainbows, our genetic ancestors, tsunamis, shooting stars, plants, animals, and an intriguing cast of characters in this extraordinary scientific voyage of discovery.

Richard Dawkins and Dave McKean have created a dazzling celebration of our planet that will inspire and amaze readers of all ages, and will entertain and inform for years to come.

Richard Dawkins: The Genius of Darwin - "God Strikes Back"

2008 Channel-4 documentary 'God Strikes Back'.
The documentary is part of the series 'The Genius of Darwin'.

In this episode Dawkins examines why Darwin's theory remains one of the most controversial ideas in history.

Highlights of this episode include a science teacher who believes the world is less than 10,000 years old, the Archbishop of Canterbury being made to look like an intellectual cretin, and an insight into the hate mail which Professor Dawkins receives from 'good christian folk' for his outspoken support of science over mumbo-jumbo.

As Darwin set out on the voyage on the Beagle he still believed that god created the world and everything in it. But the evidence he discovered - fossils, patterns of anatomical resemblance, startling similarities of embryos and domestic breeding - demonstrated the truth: that all life forms vary and that some are more likely to reproduce, passing variations on.

The Atheism Tapes: Richard Dawkins

Jonathan Miller meets up with some of the key contributors from his three-part Brief History of Disbelief in these half-hour extended conversations.

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-886041562474199609

Interview with Richard Dawkins by BBC's Jonathan Miller. The documentary serie is called The Atheism Tapes and was broadcasted in 2004.

The material that makes up the series was originally filmed in 2003 for another series (Atheism: A Rough History of Disbelief), but was too lengthy for inclusion. Instead, the BBC agreed to create The Atheism Tapes as a supplementary series of six programmes, each consisting of an extended interview with one contributor.

The other interviews for this serie were made with Steven Weinberg, Daniel Dennett, Colin McGinn, Arthur Miller and Denys Turner.

BBC - 'Life, Darwin & Everything' with Richard Dawkins

Part of the 2008 Channel-4 documentary 'Life, Darwin & Everything', this documentary is part of the series 'The Genius of Darwin'.

In this episode Richard Dawkins explains the basic mechanisms of natural selection, and tells the story of how Charles Darwin developed his theory.

He teaches a young science class about evolution, which many of the students are reluctant to accept. He then takes them to the Jurassic Coast in Dorset to search for fossils, hoping that the students can see some of the evidence for themselves.

Dawkins visits Nairobi, where he interviews a prostitute who seems to have a genetic immunity to HIV, and talks to microbiologist Larry Gelmon. He goes on to predict that genetic immunity to HIV is a trait that will become more prevalent in the community over time.
