haha. good job professor dawkins. apa benda la deepak chopra ni mengarut. tak masuk akal langsung. spirituality lah, conciousness lah. jargon2 yang dia pakai tu mumbo jumbo je supaya orang2 bodoh rasa terpesona dgn argument2 dia. sama je macam ulamak2 feqah islam. asal bunyi arab sikit penonton boleh terpesona.
Hmmm
Prof Richard ni is atheist and very anti God. Dia ada tulis buku yang famous about Anti God.Juga sangat2 anti Islam. Islam itu barbaric katanya. Siapa yang believe in God is ignorant.
Well of course siapa yang anti God akan quote Darwin,the first person yg tulis buku about 'natural selection'
Darwin-"An entire section of his autobiography on "Religious Belief." In that section he plainly stated that in the late 1830s -- at the same time he was formulating his evolutionary theory -- he gave up belief in the Bible and miracles.
He stated further, "I can indeed hardly see how anyone ought to wish Christianity to be true;"
Dalam interview ni Deepak kata we all have a purpose. Prof kata no, kita hidup tanpa purpose.
Deepak is pro muslim, he is good friends with many muslims in India. - By the time I finished writing my book, I had a wealth of knowledge about Muhammad compared to when I started. The most surprising fact about him is that among all the founders of great world religions, he considered himself “a man among men,” in other words, the closest to how you and I see ourselves. Even though Muhammad received the Koran as a divine transmission (in keeping with most of the world’s scriptures) and is a sacred figure in Islam, his self-conception was not like that. I found him fascinating.
Professor Richard Dawkins: we are winning the war against religion
Professor Dawkins said it was now possible to go to a dinner party and assume no one was religious.
"I think on the whole we are winning," he told The Times. "We are all moving in the same direction. I get the feeling more and more that religion is being left behind."
"You do not have to be reticent in what you say. You do not have to look around and say, 'I hope I am not offending anyone'. You can pretty much speak your mind now in a way that you could not 50 years ago."
Prof Dawkins said he did not believe that religion had any moral value. "But I do believe it has had, historically, artistic value," he said.
His comments come a month after he became embroiled in a Twitter row after saying the last time Muslims contributed something worthwhile was during the Middle Ages.

His comments come a month after he became embroiled in a Twitter row after saying the last time Muslims contributed something worthwhile was during the Middle Ages.
He went on to argue that although Muslims were responsible for many achievements during the Dark Ages, including alchemy and algebra, their contribution since then was questionable.
At the launch of his memoir, An Appetite for Wonder, this week Prof Dawkins said he would like his legacy to consist of being known as a "lover of truth", and as "a believer in the possibility of discovering objective truth by scientific research".
He claimed to have some sympathy for the Anglican Church and to enjoy reading the Bible but condemned a small minority who he said were still ignorant of science.
Prof Dawkins made his name as an evolutionary biologist with his 1976 book, The Selfish Gene.

This is foolishness and egoism
Doesn't matter whoever wins or loses.
It is not important at ...
True
This is an interview of someone who believes in the soul and purpose, but not a specific God with someone who believes in only science.
They will never agree
