Dawkins on "sophisticated theologians"
2009-09-18 16:40:00 Now, there is a certain class of sophisticated modern theologian who will say something like this: “Good heavens, of course we are not so naive or simplistic as to care whether God exists. Existence is such a 19th-century preoccupation! It doesn’t matter whether God exists in a scientific sense. What matters is whether he exists ...

CHABRIS & DAWKINS - IN KIND
2009-02-18 00:26:00 Last-Minute Changes. Scientific orthodoxy says that human evolution stopped a long time ago. Did it? (Wall Street Journal, February 12, 2009)Â Christopher Chabris ‘psychology professor at Union College in Schenectady, N.Y.’ Â Where it is written: But scientists do disagree over the pace and time-span of human evolution. Â Gregory Cochran and Henry Harpending begin “The 10,000 Year Explosion” with a remark from the paleontologist Stephen J. Gould, who said that “there’s been no biological change in humans for 40,000 or 50,000 years.” They also cite the evolutionist Ernst Mayr, who agrees that “man’s evolution towards manness suddenly came to a halt” in the same epoch. Gould and Mayr do not constitute an orthodoxy. There is no orthodoxy that makes the claim Chabris has attached to it. Evolution doesn’t stop, and it doesn’t stop for the cockroach and the hagfish and those bacteria that are apparently little changed...

("Of Miracles", 1748)Vou observar o preceito de Hume com respeito a um dos milagres mais bem atestados de todos os tempos, que dizem ter sido testemunhado por 70 mil pessoas e que ainda está dentro do alcance da memória viva. É a aparição de Nossa Senhora de Fátima. Cito um relato de um website católico romano, no qual se observa que, dentre as muitas alegadas aparições de Maria, essa é incomum por ser oficialmente reconhecida pelo Vaticano. Em 13 de outubro de 1917, havia mais de 70 mil pessoas reunidas na Cova da Iria em Fátima, Portugal. Tinham vindo para observar um milagre qu...

Richard Dawkins Video from UW Madison
2008-03-12 13:42:00 As a follow up to yesterday's article discussing Richard Dawkins' lecture at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Pratha Muthiah wrote a review of the speech in the Badger Herald. Here are a few excerpts: According to Dawkins, belief in the supernatural is a delusion and only the workings of nature can be considered divine. Dawkins described the idea of the “Supreme Watchmaker†— the argument that the intricacy of the universe necessitates a maker just as a watch does — as “one of the most superficial, plausible, bad arguments against Darwin.†Dawkins said religion can be replaced with science, since scientific study can effectively satisfy the same psychological need religion is said to fill. When asked what one message he wanted students to walk away with after Tuesday’s lecture, Dawkins said it was the importance of evidence and thinking for oneself. “Think critically for yourself,†Dawkins said. “Don’t believe what people tell you unless they give you ...
The Inspirational Richard Dawkins Speaks Tonight!
2008-03-11 21:49:00 Corey Sheahan, history and economics senior at University of Wisconsin-Madison wrote a great op-ed piece today in his school’s newspaper, The Badger Herald. In it he extends an invitation for all students to attend this evening’s (March 11, 2008) lecture by Richard Dawkins. Here are the first two paragraphs of the article: Tonight, University of Wisconsin welcomes professor Richard Dawkins to our campus as part of the Distinguished Lecture Series. Mr. Dawkins, an evolutionary biologist, is best known in this country for his best-selling work, “The God Delusion.†I will be attending the lecture tonight, and I whole-heartedly encourage everyone — religious and non-religious people alike — to attend as well. While Mr. Dawkins is best known as an atheist, I suspect that if you asked him, the word “atheist’†would not be the first term he would use to describe himself. If you get anything from his lecture tonight, I hope you recognize that Mr. Dawkins is not a nihili...

Also like before, I’m going to post and comment on one of my favorite parts of the discussion between the “four horsemen of atheism”. Daniel Dennett: Right. And you know this, what you just said Christopher, actually, I think, strikes terror, it strikes anxiety, in a lot of religious hearts. Because it just hasn’t been brought home to them that this move of theirs is just off-limits. It’s not the game. You can’t do that. And they’ve been taught all their lives that you can do that - this is a legitimate way of conducting a discussion. And here, suddenly we’re just telling them “I’m sorry, that is not a move in this game”. In fact it is a disqualifying move.

Richard Dawkins: How a Scientist Changed the Way We Think
2008-02-23 01:20:00 Richard Dawkins: How a Scientist Changed the Way We Think???:?????????????????# Author: Alan Grafen, Mark Ridley # Format:PDF 1.0MB# Page Count: 304 pages# Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA; New Ed edition (May 17, 2007)# Language: English# ISBN-10: 0199214662# ISBN-13: 978-0199214662Reading this volume, it is evident that The Selfish Gene-Richard Dawkins's seminal text that described how "genes have evolved the means to transform the world's resources in ever more ingenious ways"-continues to have a powerful impact on the scientific community. These 26 essayists offer a glistening blend of praise and personal reflection on both the nature of the author and on the reach of his work. "A phenomenon such as Dawkins' The Selfish Gene can be seen from many points of view and set in many contexts," notes co-editor Grafen. So, while Helena Cronin (The Ant and the Peacock) writes, "Like Einstein's imagined ride on a beam of light, this is an invitation to journey into unreachable ...
Dawkins to Target Creationism
2008-02-14 03:32:00 The Bookseller is reporting that publisher Free Press has bought the U.S. rights to Richard Dawkins? next book, "for a reported $3.5m" and UK rights have gone to Transworld for a "substantial sum" (I think I'm converting to atheism before writing my next book...). The new book from Dawkins is said to explore creationism and the evidence for evolution: The as-yet-untitled volume will be published in 2009, a year that will feature a double anniversary for Charles Darwin?the 200th anniversary of his birth in February, and the 150th anniversary of the publication of The Origin of Species in November. Gaminara said: "He is arguably the science writer most closely associated with Darwin and in my view it would be strange not to have a book by Richard Dawkins in this anniversary year. "He feels that never in his lifetime has there been such a belief in creationism, in the US and also creeping into the school curriculum in this country, and as the Charles Simonyi Professor for the Public U...

Mas a questão não é essa. Diferentemente de Stephen Hawking (que seguiu o conselho de que cada fórmula que ele publicasse reduziria as vendas pela metade), eu de bom grado abriria mão do status de best-seller caso houvesse a mais remota esperança de que Duns Scotus fosse iluminar minha questão central, se Deus existe ou não.

Fact-Checking Richard Dawkins [The Corpus Callosum]
2007-12-02 02:37:00 In the book, The Blind Watchmaker, Richard Dawkins makes a statement that led one reader to feel the need to check up on him: I’ve been reading through Richard Dawkins’ books and am currently half way through The Blind Watchmaker (2006 paperback edition) and on page 119 he writes: In my computer’s ROM, location numbers 64489, 64490 and 64491, taken together, contain a particular pattern of contents—1s and 0s which—when interpreted as instructions, result in the computer’s little loudspeaker uttering a blip sound. This bit pattern is 10101101 00110000 11000000. Of course, this piqued my curiosity. Did Dawkins just make that up, or is this really the contents of a specific bit of memory on a specific computer? The original post is here. The book was published in 1986, back in the days when regular folks still knew how to skin pigs, change their spark plugs, and check the contents of specific ROM addresses. &...

That's why when they took the field to kick the ball back to the Redskins, Dawkins was with them - for, according to his memory - the first time in seven or eight years."That was just something that was a spur of the moment type thing; something that I wanted to do to help out," Dawkins said. "If I made the play, great; if I didn't, then hopefully I'd be out there to help the guys out and hopefully not allow a big play to happen."Dawkins said that after deciding he was going to cover the kick, there was no way he was staying on the sideline."I just felt like it was something I had to do and wanted to do.

Is this what Dawkins meant?.....
2007-10-05 00:26:00 The term meme (it's pronounced like dream or cream) was coined by Richard Dawkins, Professor of the Public Understanding of Science at Oxford University, in his 1976 book The Selfish Gene. Memes are habits, skills, songs, stories, or any other kind of information that is copied from person to person. As examples he suggested ?tunes, ideas, catch-phrases, clothes fashions, ways of making pots or of building arches?. Memes, like genes, are replicators. That is, they are information that is copied with variation and selection. Because only some of the variants survive, memes (and hence human cultures) evolve. Memes are copied by imitation, teaching and other methods, and they compete for space in our memories and for the chance to be copied again. Large groups of memes that are copied and passed on together are called co-adapted meme complexes, or memeplexes. The word ?meme? has recently been included in the Oxford English Dictionary where it is defined as follows ?meme (mi:m), n. Bi...

Like this one, standing just off the west Beltline in Madison, Wisconsin.If I did not know what they meant by that, I might tend to agree. Religion and dogma are not the same thing. And freethought and dogma are not necessarily opposites. A smaller billboard to go up in a place where it will be passed by nearly everyone leaving the airport in Madison will read, "Imagine No Religion."Imagine a world with no religion. Dawkins has.
