This time Dawkins is having a go at science. Beside being interesting I think It's extremely funny. Among other things he defends belief in miracles. But it's not really about religion so I guess it's just a side note.

And here's another of my house gods. Steven Pinker on the increasingly peaceful human.

I love it when scientist proves that we've never lived in such a peaceful world as now, and people keep being surprised.

Very interesting videos. Interesting that an evolutionary biologist would argue that miracles are possible, then argue that life is random chance.

Aren't statistics wondeful? I always new they could prove anything if they were taken apart and put together in the right way.
