Product Description

Nine months before the release of his million-copy bestseller The God Delusion, Richard Dawkins had the world buzzing with his television documentary 'Root of All Evil?' The 2-hour program highlights the dangers of faith and religion in the 21st century, and asks people of reason to say "Enough is enough!"

During the filming, Richard Dawkins conducted many fascinating interviews with people from around the world. Unfortunately much of this footage was cut for time, and some entire interviews were omitted. This DVD collection showcases eight raw and uncut interviews from the original tapes, allowing the viewer a rare vantage point into these revealing exchanges

Eight uncut and never before seen interviews filmed for 'Root of All Evil?' Interviews with: Jill Mytton, Ian McEwan, Bishop Richard Harries, Michael Bray, Hell House Pastor Keenan Roberts, Alister McGrath, Adrian Hawkes and Rabbi Gluck

A good selection of interviews, well presented. These recordings reveal much of the intransigence of some of the participants and in some cases demonstrates how exceptionally tolerant and patient some of the others were in their response to the Dawkins challenges. To those interested in the Theism v. Atheism debate, these interviews are well worth watching.
They really merit a series of programme presentations in their entirety, on Sunday evening TV, at or around the time of other religious programmes like eg Songs of Praise, (perhaps in conjunction with Jonathan Miller's "Atheist Tapes" which are equally worth watching).

I found the TV show fascinating so it was very interesting to see the uncut interviews on this DVD. Dawkins undoubtably has a keen mind and the interviewees respond well to his questioning.

Highly recommended.

DIALOGUE IN HELL BETWEEN CORNELIUS, RICHARD AND GURU BHUPA

Cornelius: The Moon is made of green cheese!

Richard: That's preposterous!

Cornelius: Science has never been able to disprove the statement. Ergo it can be true. Ergo it must be true. QED.

Richard: Science *has* disproven it!

Cornelius: Really? Have the scientists actually been to the Moon?

Richard: Of course not.

Cornelius: Have you ever been to the Moon?

Richard: Of course not.

Cornelius: So how do you know that the Moon isn't made of green cheese?

Richard: Buzz Aldrin have been to the Moon.

Cornelius: No, he hasn't. It was a conspiracy.

Richard: Preposterous! Virtually all of the world saw Buzz Aldrin walk on the Moon! You are denying the facts!!!

Cornelius: No, I'm not. Look. We all have access to the same facts. We know that a rocket was launched. We know that TV showed pictures of Buzz Aldrin walking around somewhere. And we know that a craft of some kind landed in the sea. Those are the facts. I'm not denying them. I'm merely re-interpreting the facts on the basis of my presuppositions. And my presupposition is that the Moon is made of green cheese.

Richard: And how do you prove your presuppositions?

Cornelius: I don't. Your question is illogical. Presuppositions don't have to proven. That's why they are presuppositions.

Richard: How do you disprove my presuppositions?

Cornelius: Easy. The fact that you refuse to accept my presuppositions, show that you are wrong. Without accepting my presuppositions, you can't have real knowledge at all. In fact, every time you try to disprove them, you end up affirming them, by the very act of disapproval.
