Richard Dawkins’ Perspective on Faith, Philosophy, and the Layers of Human Existence
Description
Commonly known as the most famous atheist in the world, Richard Dawkins is a British evolutionary biologist, zoologist, and author of The Selfish Gene and The God Delusion. Today, Ryan asks Richard why he describes himself as a "cultural Christian", what the biggest misunderstandings of his work are, why individuals teeter between faith and reason, and his concept of humans as 'books of the dead,' a metaphor for the evolutionary history encoded in our genes.
Pre-order Richard's latest book The Genetic Book of the Dead - out September 17, 2024.
