Richard Dawkins

Below:  Freyguy gets his books signed by Professor Richard Dawkins after a public lecture.  The celebrated evolutionary biologist has authored many books, including the (in)famous atheist treatise and bestseller, The God Delusion.  You can see how thrilled he was to meet me, after an hour lecture, a half-hour of questions, and an hour of signing books.  I think it's safe to say that Richard and I are now close personal friends.



Kidding aside, he was extremely generous with his time and it was a real privilege to meet him and hear him speak.  Only an Oxford-educated Brit can call something "uttah nonsense" and still sound polite.  Here's a clip of Dawkins discussing evolution, science and religion with George Coyne, a Jesuit priest and astronomer.
What do you think of Dawkins?  Love him?  Hate him?  Indifferent?
