"Sex, Death and the Meaning of Life" - Evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins asks if science can provide answers to the big questions we used to entrust to religion.
Ugh. I find Dawkins has an air of arrogance about him that, despite his ideas, I just can't get on with. Also, why do people assume there is nothing but science and religion? I would like philosophy mentioned, but then that's probably academic bias. Fucking religion, man.
I think that a little arrogance is a good thing. I just saw him speak at the FFRF convention in Portland, and his "arrogance" was kind of a call to action for me.
