The Beauty of Science - Richard Dawkins

The Beauty of Science - Richard Dawkins
I just thought I'd share this. It's a very good poem-like speech given by Richard Dawkins on the fact that is the cumulativeness of science. 

Also, if anyone could tell me the name of the piano score playing in the background, I'd very much appreciate it.

You could look at the description of the video, you know... Smile

Oh! I didnt even see it, thank you!

Also, if I may ask, why do you use a bible verse as your signature if youre against theism?

You might also like AronRa. I'm not much into posterboy atheists, but Dawkins and AronRa are exemptions to that rule since they are both tongue in cheek. AronRa also has a series about science where he explains complicated natural science. In very simple terms, which is right up my avenue, since I freely admit to be an idiot when it comes to natural science.

Try that for starters. Not about science but about tongue in cheek.

Why not? I was brought up protestant anyways. But first of all, it somehow fit. Second of all, ironically, i.e. to mock the Christians who put bible verses in the sig. Thirdly, what better demonstration is there that the Yahweh character is an asshole than the book of Job...Ok there are plenty Smile

Hehe, see edit Smile
I always type entries in several intermediate steps on my phone bc it crashes too often or suddenly loses the wifi.

Point is, quoting the Bible is a natural thing to do for an anti-theist!
