BBC - God Under The Microscope

In this BBC program, Richard Dawkins and some other important names discuss ideas of science and religion. The videos are in .flv format and converted from Youtube.

Shot in Brno, the program explores the relationship between science, religion and the pursuit of knowledge. In the first part, scientist and author Richard Dawkins challenges the role of religion and explains his views on the value of scientific research. He also talks to Dr James Watson, one of the scientists involved in the discovery of the structure of DNA. In the second, filmed in the library of Gregor Mendel's monastery, Joan Bakewell hosts a discussion between Dawkins, Roman Catholic priest and scientist Michael Heller, philosopher Baroness Mary Warnock, theologian Wentzel van Huyssteen and historian Dr David Starkey.

BBC Horizon - God on the Brain

Religious visions, hearing voices, seeing the light and vision of God... Are these a product of some brain disorder? Does religious faith really effect the brain? What happens when we see sexually loaded and religious words? Mystic persons or prophets like Moses were just epileptic? Join the scientific search and the magnetic field experiment of Richard Dawkins too.

Growing Up in the Universe - Episode 1 - Waking Up in the Universe

Oxford professor Richard Dawkins presents a series of lectures on life, the universe, and our place in it. With brilliance and clarity, Dawkins unravels an educational gem that will mesmerize young and old alike. Illuminating demonstrations, wildlife, virtual reality, and special guests (including Douglas Adams) all combine to make this collection a timeless classic.

In the beginning of the first episode, Dawkins discusses the amazing capabilities of the human body and contrasts these with the limited capabilities of computers and other man-made machines.

This episode opens with a story of a little girl who thinks that flowers are for making the world beauty and helping the bees to make honey for us. This illustrates our anthropocentric view of life.

BBC Horizon - Nice Guys Finish First by Richard Dawkins (1987)

In this BBC program Richard Dawkins explains how selfish genes can give rise to cooperative altruistic behaviour that was discussed in his book The Selfish Gene. To simulate the evolution of cooperation, he uses a computer program that called Tit for Tat (a game theory for the prisoner's dilemma).

Discovery - Alien Neighbors

If we are not alone, who or what else out there? Is anybody listening? Is physical travel from one star system to another possible?

Our technology is not sufficient to detect any intelligent life form beyond hundred-millions light years. There are over 125 billion galaxies and we may never catch any sign.

If there is a life, how will it develop? Will the mechanics of evolution be similar on the Earth?

Astronomers and scientists like Richard Dawkins explain their arguments on extraterrestrials.

BBC - The Story of God (3 of 3) The God of the Gaps

The last episode is focusing on the struggle between science and religion.

Galileo Galilei discovered that his observations contradicted the Bible and in the middle of 19 century Darwin pushed back the God with his theory of evolution.

Robert Winston meets Richard Dawkins and Dean Hamer who claimed that he found God gene (VMAT2).

Then he visits a creationist museum and debates the creationist Ken Ham in a radio show (I think the most interesting part of the episode).

The episode ends at the CERN laboratory.

Richard Dawkins on Real Time With Bill Maher

When I'm on my deathbed, I'm going to have a tape recorder switched on. Because people like me are the victims of malicious stories after their death people saying they had a deathbed conversion when they didn't. There is a story that even Darwin had a deathbed conversion, just a complete lie. But it is widely believed by creationists and it happens it again and again. So I'm going to have witnesses and I'm going to have a tape recorder switched on." Richard Dawkins

For a long time I was looking for this episode (the full show) that Bill Maher interviews with Richard Dawkins, at last I've got it. Enjoy!

Darwin's Brave New World (Episode 1) Origins

"Evolution was damned as being anti-God and anti-science, because it's creation by natural law, not acts of God."

The theory of evolution by natural selection was the most radical idea in the conservative England of the 19th century. Darwin spent years working in secret, painstakingly piecing together proof of his theory about the evolution of life on Earth, a theory that revealed the beauty and cruelty of nature. Darwin knew the power of his work, a work which generated the fiercest debate about the creation which continues to this day.

These new series tell the astonishing and amazing story of this great mind, and the struggle between dogma and reason, featuring acclaimed scientists such as Richard Dawkins, and David Suzuki.

Darwin's Brave New World (Episode 3) Publish and Be Damned

The arrival of Alfred Russel Wallace's letter in June 1858 has thrown Charles Darwin into panic. This letter threatens to destroy years of work which began on five year voyage in southern hemisphere. Darwin spends the next 20 years painstakingly gathering evidence. He battles illness and the cruel reality of his own theory. But on the other side of the world Alfred Wallace has come up with the almost identical theory. Now Darwin will need the help of his loyal supporters more than ever.

The book which Charles Darwin never meant to write is about to be judged by the outside world.

Richard Dawkins - River Out of Eden: A Darwinian View of Life (Audiobook)

Nearly a century and a half after Charles Darwin formulated it, the theory of evolution is still the subject of considerable debate. Oxford scientist Richard Dawkins is among Darwin's chief defenders, and an able one indeed-- witty, literate, capable of turning a beautiful phrase. In River Out of Eden he introduces general readers to some fairly abstract problems in evolutionary biology, gently guiding us through the tangles of mitochondrial DNA and the survival-of-the- fittest ethos. (Superheroes need not apply: Dawkins writes, "The genes that survive . . . will be the ones that are good at surviving in the average environment of the species.") Dawkins argues for the essential unity of humanity, noting that "we are much closer cousins of one another than we normally realize, and we have many fewer ancestors than simple calculations suggest."

On The Origin of Species - Charles Darwin (Edited and Read by Richard Dawkins)

"On The Origin of Species" (or "The Origin of the Species") is a very important work edited and read by Richard Dawkins. This is Charles Darwin's seminal book examining evolution and the origin of species. It is rated by Melvyn Bragg and Radio 4 as one out of 12 of the world's most important and influential books ever published.

"On The Origin of Species must be high on any serious list of the most important and influential books ever written. On its first publication, in 1859, Thomas Henry Huxley exclaimed "How extremely stupid of me not to have thought of that." Charles Darwin's revolutionary idea is, indeed, an astoundingly simple one, especially when you measure it against the magnitude of what it explains -- every fact that we know about life on earth.

"Listen to Origin of Species, and you immediately find yourself ushered into the presence of one of the finest minds ever to grace this planet. In this recording, which was a true labour of love, I made no attempt to act the part of Darwin, but instead worked hard, as a modern follower of Darwin, to convey the true meaning of every sentence. I even surprised myself: the exercise of reading Darwin's words aloud and identifying in every phrase the syllable that needed to be stressed, revealed to me the subtleties and depths of meaning that I had missed when reading quietly to myself. I hope listeners will be enlightened in the same way.

"Of Darwin's six editions I chose to abridge from the first. Surprisingly, and in many ways, it is the most modern. Moreover, it is of greatest historical interest, as being the one that actually hit the Victorian solar plexus and drove out the wind of centuries. In abridging the book, my priority was to cut those passages that are now known to be wrong, notably those concerned with genetics. I believe it is what Darwin himself would have wished. What takes my breath away as a modern biologist is how much Darwin got right. It has been well said that he worked a century and more ahead of his time. The year 2009 is both the bi-centenary of Darwin's birth and the 150th anniversary of On the Origin of Species and that statement is becoming harder and harder to deny." Richard Dawkins
