The Four Horsemen. Dawkins,Dennett,Harris, Hitchens. Part 2

submitted by BicycleRepairMan

1 decade 6 years 11 months 2 weeks ago

On the 30th of September 2007, Richard Dawkins, Daniel Dennett, Sam Harris and Christopher Hitchens sat down for a first-of-its-kind, unmoderated 2-hour discussion, convened by RDFRS and filmed by Josh Timonen.

All four authors have recently received a large amount of media attention for their writings against religion - some positive, and some negative. In this conversation the group trades stories of the public's reaction to their recent books, their unexpected successes, criticisms and common misrepresentations. They discuss the tough questions about religion that face to world today, and propose new strategies for going forward.

Sounds like the antithesis of Fox News.

They spend time talking about cognitive dissonance, being religious while being a scientist for instance. Unfortunately, they skip a really cool area they could have talked about, and that is the evolutionary origin of religion in man.

It can't be a strange coincidence that nearly every human civilization has deities and religious beliefs. In a context where faith is more-or-less built in as the default setting, where does that leave us?

hitchens needs to let the others speak more

Hitchens, please, stop cutting people off.
