RichardDawkins.net – see more videos like this. On Saturday, March 8th, 2008, Richard Dawkins gave this lecture on The God Delusion during his US Tour. The event took place on the UC Berkeley campus in Wheeler Auditorium, and was completely sold out. A line of hopeful attendees stretched around the side of the building, waiting to see if there would be any ‘no-show’ tickets at the last minute! There was a Q&A session that followed the talk, which will be posted to the site soon. Camera by Josh Timonen and Wayne Marsala Edited by Josh Timonen

Thank you for making this video available to us. I am so glad to live in the age of Dawkins. We have a slim chance to save the species now.
makes allot more sence, I dont get why he would be a vegetarian if he was fine with killing other humanbeings, I need to educate myself more on this subject
good audience
@aModernDandy Don’t stop trying to disagree with Dawkins. Thats what he has been trying to teach us all along: DON’T ever stop questioning!
When a person of considerable import repeats an absurd urban legend, it becomes important to correct.
@SaganAppreciationSoc , It doesn’t matter. That is besides the point. Thank you though, I learned something today from you.
Richard repeats an urban legend at 1:11. Despite the popular myth, Hitler was not a vegetarian.
Squab was one of Hitler’s favorite meats. In addition to historical accounts from multiple 1st-hand witnesses, there are 2 books specializing on the topic:
“Hitler Was a Vegetarian And Other Tales” by Ron Ferguson (ISBN-10: 0905489713, ISBN-13: 978-0905489711) or Rynn Berry’s book “Hitler: Neither Vegetarian Nor Animal Lover” (ISBN-10: 0962616966, ISBN-13: 978-0962616969)

Not any surprise about US. Ignorant sheeps.
If true,that’s very sad.
UC Berkely is one of few universities that he could speak to in the US. Most colleges in Tennessee seem to be feeled with conservative republican morons.

“I’m an atheist with respect to the Judeo-Christian God, because there is not a shred of EVIDENCE in favor of the Judeo-Christian God.”
~ Richard Dawkins
…Dawkins, that’s because you have not visited my channel.
WOW!
His last quote simply blew me away. wow
@TheRioterKiss TOTALLY AGREED
@chiggevara I COULD NOT AGREE MORE
@aModernDandy BRAVO
I always tried to disagree with Dawkins. I studied Religion as a main subject in my last two years of school, and Philosophy as an additinal subject. And whenever we discussed Dawkins I frantically tried to disagree with him. But ever since I left school half a year ago I kept thinking about his arguments and his thories and I realized that I do agree with him.
Now I watched these videos and I have to say they were brilliant – and I’m glad that I can acknowledge that now.
That last part made me cry. It is so beautiful, so inspiring, so tragic and still so uplifting. Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant!
Beautiful and so true.
Our life is finite, and that makes it worthwhile.
that twain quote is pretty brilliant.
It’s always comforting to me to hear someone else say what’s been on my mind for years, especially someone who can put it into words so elegantly. It’s also comforting to hear the roar of applause he gets, which makes me feel there are many others out there who can think freely and aren’t so easily programmed.
“Man’s unfailing capacity to believe what he prefers to be true rather than what the evidence shows to be likely and possible has always astounded me. We long for a caring Universe which will save us from our childish mistakes, and in the face of mountains of evidence to the contrary we will pin all our hopes on the slimmest of doubts. God has not been proven not to exist, therefore he must exist.” -Academician Prokhor Zakharov.
Inspiring quote of Dawkins. Got to read that book.
“I do not fear death. I had been dead for billions and billions of years before I was born, and had not suffered the slightest inconvenience from it.” – Mark Twain
That is one absolutely brilliant quote.
