Richard Dawkins and the Teapot Atheists

SnakePlisskensays...

BackgroundBailey, although I can't speak for Dr. Dawkins I have read a lot of his work (I recommend "Unweaving the Rainbow: Science, Delusion and the Appetite for Wonder", although not to you personally) and I have a feeling he'd be quietly pleased at your reaction to this clip.

I was raised to believe in one true teapot and was sent to teapot camp every summer...and told if I didn't go to a teapot college when I grew up, I wasn't a good teapot believer and the teapot wouldn't think I loved him. Although many things I read that the teapot "said" in his infallable scripture didn't always make sense, I tried to please. I wasn't a happy teapot follower.

When I grew up I finally I rejected teapots and their followers and started drinking coffee. There's still an old teapot in my cupboard though.

You have to admit, it's pretty crazy that we travelled to the moon, discovered DNA, explored the depths of the cosmos. But yet hold so hard to religion.

Before these times, progress in sciences would be suppressed by Religion, because religious types thought that science would disprove faith, or divine presence and such and such. But I think through science we can really truly understand the nature of life, the universe and everything. And the answer is as you all know... plainly 42.

Scientific community does not have a passionate and downright ballsy approach to their beliefs as much as christians do, where nature of christianity makes people to preach their understandings and spread the 'good word', while in the scientific community, the first thing they teach you is that 'everything has a chance to be disproven, and you always must have a room for doubt', and naturally makes us take cautious approach and not as bolsterous as religious people.

But I think the main reason for Richard Dawkin's fame is because our generation is already in a state of counter-christian movement after the big southern culture rush during the Bush vs Gore elections. The 'anger' if you will, from non-christian, scientific communities have been building up after all these christians pushing them over and doing whatever they believe. And all it really took was some legit science representative or 'leader' who came out at the right moment.
