Richard Dawkins

During Richard Dawkins' American tour in March 2009, he gave a talk titled "The Purpose of Purpose". I travelled with Richard to these cities and filmed the talks, which I've edited together here. The content of the talk remains intact, while the editing moves between the different locations and Richard's Keynote presentation. (From Richard Dawkins.net via Atheist Media Blog).

The first video is Richard Dawkins in an interview on Belgian TV. He was awarded an honorary doctorate from the University of Antwerp.

The voice-over is not in English, but the interview is.

Richard Dawkins has been uploading his video collection onto YouTube.

He has finally got around to uploading my favourite series "Growing up in the Universe". It is a collection of videos that explore basic important concepts in science, and it was from this lecture series that "Climbing Mount Improbable" was written.

If you haven't seen it already, it is definitely worth checking out.

There are 5 one hour videos, so clear your schedule and enjoy!

Haven't read 'On the Origins of Species?' why not have it read to you by Richard Dawkins?

I'd recommend sitting back, pouring a glass of ice-cold beer and watching a few stimulating films.
