the soul is emergent . The soul is just matter that is seemingly "alive".

@YouGuysArnt Were you closing your ears the entire time? This has nothing to do with choosing anything. These erudite two are using their beliefs to converse not to debate beliefs.

Christians are saying: "Look at that beard..this is God! This is one of his tests, bless you Dan 'God' Dennet, bless you..."

It's been a while since I lived in England and the interaction between the director and Dawkins shows how civilized and polite a lot of English folks are. I kind of miss it, there's more animosity in everyday interaction in most other countries, whereas in England you could have a a sentence like this "Excuse me, I'm sorry for bothering you about this, but would you mind, perhaps terribly, to consider not pissing in the middle of the street please?"

You cannot obtain something without sacrificing something... Law of equivalent exchange. What this guy said is useless nonsense. Creating something ouf of nothing... Haha...

go vegan

I am at the half way point ... and I find all the talk about how emotionally satisfying and hopeful science is - just like religion - to be cloying, artificial and beside the point. Isn't the point of science that you choose your believes without reference to emotion - that you go with what MAKES THE MOST SENSE not what feels good?

sky daddy x-D

@ShredTheGnar690 you mean all human beings were born mid 70's and male??

You should check out the book The Blake-Feyerabend Hypothesis by Timb Hoswell. He is an Australian philosopher who argues against both religion and science and suggests the need for a Post-Athiest movement.

@ShredTheGnar690 well i'm sure there are plenty more. but yes. great admirer of both.

Such a beautiful interview. Thank you.

@cutes22 That's a Darwinian response.

"The planet has grown a nervous system, and it's us." Epic quote.

Admirer? He's a look-alike!

@JiangZiyaTabooDays Very good point. I never really actually paid attention to this. Right in front of my eyes.

@omnissient Hehe. More than the "I still love you, and will ask the creator to forgive you," I often get the "I'll laugh as you burn in hell for denying your creator!" I have to admit, I admire the honesty more than false humility and love.

@ruakh911 the great thing about being an Atheist is that I do not claim to know everything. You religious people claim to have all the answers.

Amazing

Thank goodness these two men not only exist, but got to collaborate in such ways as this interview, and if you haven't seen it, check out the Four Horsemen video with these two wonderful men, and Christopher Hitchens and Sam Harris.

@FeelOfFriction Aren't we all?

"oh for technical reasons? oh, so you were hiding behind that" good stuff

@ruakh911. "Atheists are childish and think they know everything." That was very deep and insightful. Just kidding. But, even if atheists were childish, it wouldn't make any their arguments false. You should really think more about your opinion before you post it on Youtube. People might run away with the idea that you're an idiot. Cheers.

These men are profoundly ignorant.

@ruakh911 christians do these things: They hate, torture, lie, deceive and whine and deny science. They are worthless descicable scum. But i still love them. I will ask the creator to forgive you your stupidity. Thank me for this. Thats what it would sound like if an atheist talked like a christian.
