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.

Hell's Angel: Mother Teresa by Christopher Hitchens

Mother Teresa. Symbolic figure of humility and goodness. The holy saviour of the poors. This Nobel Peace Prize winner lady can be a grim zealot? Author of God is Not Great and The Missionary Position: Mother Teresa in Theory and Practice, Christopher Hitchens shows the real face of a demogogue fraud behind her innocent mask.

P.S. Thanks to our blog user providing the video links. I converted them into .flv format.

The Salmon of Doubt - Douglas Adams (Audiobook + E-book)

UPDATE! I added the audiobook version narrated by Simon Jones and contributed by Stephen Fry, Richard Dawkins, Christopher Cerf.

Man the maker looks at his world and says, “So who made this, then?” Who made this?—you can see why it’s a treacherous question. Early man thinks, “Well, because there’s only one sort of being I know about who makes things, whoever made all this must therefore be a much bigger, much more powerful and necessarily invisible, one of me, and because I tend to be the strong one who does all the stuff, he’s probably male.” And so we have the idea of a God. Then, because when we make things, we do it with the intention of doing something with them, early man asks himself, “If he made it, what did he make it for?” Now the real trap springs, because early man is thinking, “This world fits me very well. Here are all these things that support me and feed me and look after me; yes, this world fits me nicely,” and he reaches the inescapable conclusion that whoever made it, made it for him.
