Just watched part 1 of Dawkins' "Sex, Death And The Meaning Of Life" , [View all]

[mr blur]

Richard Dawkins' new TV series which started this week on Channel 4 here.

Gotta love a program whose first line is,

"More and more of us realise there is no god, and yet religion still has a hold over us. I think ideas of saints and sinners, heaven and hell, still shape our thinking. I want to give you a scientific alternative."

The first part explores the notion of Sin:

I'm going to explore the power the religious idea of sin has over our lives, explain why it's unhelpful and show how we can use reason and science to find a better way to be good.

Good stuff and, I believe, now available online.
