Excellent. Even if you're suffering from Dawkins fatigue as I am.

Its ok, he's like Chinese food. You'll be hungry for more Dawkins in no time.

Dawkins is doing the job that no one else wants to have to do, but that really truly needs to be done. Wish he knew how much it is appreciated...

Dawkins seems to have made a mistake at around 13:00. He says to look at the Milkyway from an observatory or just from outside, then he says you'd see 100 billion stars(the number in a single galaxy), so he's clearly talking about stars in our own galaxy. But then he says the light from the closest stars started it's journey during time of the dinosaurs, and thats wrong. The light we currently see from the closest stars would have started it's journey less than a couple decades ago; the light from the farthest stars would still be less than 100k years ago. He couldn't have been referring to when the stars formed; that would have been before the dinosaurs. He also couldn't have been referring to the nearest galaxies as they are well less than 1M lightyears away. Seems like a big flub on his part, I wonder if it's the result of editing.

yes I noticed it too. also the show opens with another big flub, we never sent orbiters to neptune! only the one voyager flyby. he does need to brush up on his astrophysics! also the most powerful computer in the world does over 350 tflops not 60.

Modern science has increased the amount of time that people have to behave like primitive monkeys that they are. If we are part of evolution, and if history has taught
us anything - we should then at least acknowledge our misgivings and go back to the jungle.
To hell with neptune! they'll be selling cola and listenig to Britney THERE too?

I did enjoy this program. Particularly I loved the scientific explanation of superstition. But if you're going to steal the entire broadcast , sans advertisements, you may as well download the torrent and enjoy it in a better quality.

Something is very wrong with the embed:
src='http://www.youtube.com/cp/vjVQa1PpcFPilh5E8BaavPTfgzqmgQaq5CZSSbpOa44=&rel=0'

unplayable, so I guess it's dead.
