Dawkins on TCR

Dawkins and ColbertCheck out Richard Dawkins Net for the video of Dawkins on The Colbert Report last night.

Given that Colbert is a Catholic - and insists on winning ;-) - I think Dawkins handled it very well - especially compared to some who've been on TCR!

I love him nailing that Darwinian evolution is the exact opposite of random chance.

Two more highlights:

"Let's say your book is intelligently designed--"
"It is, by the way."

"Life is a very special thing. It starts naturally, and then increases in complexity by slow, natural degrees: that's Darwinian natural selection--"
"That's cause God breathed into it."
"Oh no - that is at best a superfluous hypothesis, and a worst a highly unparsimonious one."
"Do both of those mean you surrender?"
