Nice to see that British television still gets quality stuff.

Unfortunately Ice Truckers, Ancient Aliens, and Honey Boo Boo are too important over here.

We get the same shows but they tend to be on at strange times on those channels nobody see's lol.

I have no doubts this show will be on YouTube in less than 24 hours after it airs.

"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.
Religion is an attempt to answer the philosophical questions of the unphilosophical man.

I imagine the reason is because Dawkins is not a philosopher. Science can't find an objective meaning to life, but philosophy can provide a subjective one. I thinkt the reason also lies in that it is harder to prove an objective answer to something using philosphy than science if the question is not inherently philosophical.
