Evolution Smackdown: Richard Dawkins v. Bill O'Reilly

Richard Dawkins' new book The Greatest Show on Earth is out, and that can only mean one thing. He will be interviewed by people who vehemently disagree with him. About everything. I have not read it yet, but the book lays out evidence for evolution, presumably in a logical and scientific manner. And who had hates science and reason? Bill O'Reilly, of course! This gem of an interview between O'Reilly and Dawkins will make you laugh, cry and feel just gosh-darned perplexed. The expressions on Dawkins' face as O'Reilly is speaking are priceless. I am impressed by his ability to retain his composure... I'm not sure if I could have.



I really enjoyed that Dawkins told O'Reilly to stop shouting at him. I would also like to point out that underneath Dawkins name it does not say "Author, The Greatest Show on Earth" it says "Atheist," which to me, seems rather peculiar. After all, if someone is on television and they wrote a book about the life of Jesus or some other religious-themed book, it most likely would not say "Christian" beneath their name. Of course, it's no surprise that O'Reilly wants to make sure that everyone knows that Dawkins is an Atheist, despite the fact the book he is discussing is about evolution not Atheism.

As always, Dawkins was intelligent and eloquent. I'm really looking forward to reading his new book.

This is a great comic.

I wish people really did use the MC Hammer Slide as a mode of transportation...

And just in case you forgot how awesome it is:

Thumbs up for peace! 

I highly recommend taking a trip to the Jimmy Carter Museum; it's very educational and very fun!
