I finally got to see the great Professor speak in London on Saturday 18th Sept at Protest The Pope. It was a short but powerful comment on the hypocrisy of Ratzinger who said, on the first day of his recent UK visit, that we must fight the rise of "aggressive secularism" and we'd do well to remember that Hitler promoted "godlessness" - Dawkins pointed out, however, something we might know but not enough others do: the Catholic Church has had a strong supportive association with the ol' Catholic, Hitler himself. Dawkins also mentioned that we've done well to get the Vatican so riled that they now have to attack atheism in order to distract everyone else from their own crimes.

Sadly, even though I got within a few feet of him afterwards, he was whisked away before I could go for the handshake and the "thank-you". Still - well done, Dawkins!

Dawkins will be starting his US speaking tour this month! I'm wondering if anybody else will be going to the event in Los Angeles on Oct 6th at the Skeptic Society...hit me up if you are!

I just found this on a Salon article entitled, "The sexiest man living!"
The entirety of the article can be found here: http://www.salon.com/entertainment/feature/2006/11/17/sexiest_man

Who: Richard Dawkins
Age: 65
Know him as: Evolutionary scientist and author, most recently of "The God Delusion."

Wonder is sexy. Knowledge is sexy. And embodying both as much as any man in the world today is a man in a tweed jacket riding his bike around the Oxford University campuses, the damp English breeze sweeping a curtain of silver hair from the delicate bones of his face. Yes, those cheekbones, those piercing eyes, that pursed bow of a mouth -- but that brain, oh that brain, oh, god, that brain -- is what makes Richard Dawkins, evolutionary biologist and the most famous atheist in the world, the sexiest man around.

Dawkins is the professor I never had an affair with, whose very sentence structure threatens to weaken my concentration on the content of his words. Call me deluded: I ache for his atheism; I reel from his reasoning. He is my James Bond, a well-attired, fearless seeker of truth in the face of nihilism.

I dream of his perfectly-accented voice -- Oxbridge softened by a childhood spent in, sigh, East Africa -- whispering to me from his latest book, "The God Delusion," a defense of endless curiosity in the face of omnipresent theism. "If the demise of god will leave a gap, different people will fill it in different ways. My way includes a good dose of science, the honest and systematic endeavor to find out the truth about the real world." Take me with you, Richard: You put the "sex" in sexagenarian. Let us clinch in a godless embrace, crying out to what we know does not exist, searching, searching evermore.

Richard Dawkins is so cute. Especially in his early documentaries, but no matter how old he gets he will always be foxy in my book ;)

By all means let's be open-minded, but not so open-minded that our brains drop out.
Richard Dawkins

A universe with a God would look quite different from a universe without one. A physics, a biology where there is a God is bound to look different. So the most basic claims of religion are scientific. Religion is a scientific theory-Richard Dawkins.
