This was really a very good little interview snippet. The questions, while I'm sure asked many times in the past, were all valid and nicely asked, while Dawkins answered them with great aplomb and intelligence. Very good.

And come on... 'pwned'? Hardly. It's a horrendously overused 'word', which should really be held back for cases whereby someone is well and truly 'smacked down', it just doesn't fit the discussion that goes on here.

no wai. pwned. its obvious he didn't even read Dawkin's book at all. if he had, things wouldn't have gone so 'oh let me ask you this obviously silly question that's been debunked a million times already' -> 'o ok, here's why that question is stupid'. Stephen is obviously trying desperately to do his best Paxman but sorry Sackur, you fail it.

This journalist started every sentence with "Your critics say that. . ."

Lame lame journalist. The only thing he did well was allow Richard Dawkins to speak.

oh good grief, that last "question" never fails to make my eyes roll.

dawkins only gets to the point in the last 10 seconds that he should have used to argue with throughout this talk, basically that 'Good people do good things, bad people do bad things, but to make good people do bad things, it takes religion...'
people wouldnt die for atheism, you wont get atheist suicide bombers, and you wont get an atheistic army fighting for reasons for anything to do with their atheism.

most people cant think about the universe deeply enough to comprehend that there must be no fundamental god. to be an atheist should mean you've thought this out thoroughly and it's just not possible for most people to be like that - because not everybody's going to want to think it through.
let's not lose sight that believing in some imaginary friend god thing is just as crazy as believing in fairies. agnostic is the way to go for the majority i'm sure, i'm glad some people are going out of their way to show religions up for what they really are.
