Tuesday's Connector of the Day Richard Dawkins
Posted: 1631 GMT
Fervent atheist and anti-creationist, Richard Dawkins is often referred to as "Charles Darwin's rottweiler." He has torn into the religious establishment with his claim that God is a delusion. It seems the British ethologist, evolutionary biologist and author will stop at nothing to provoke intelligent and honest debate about the truth of our existence.
Richard Dawkins is marking the 150th anniversary of Charles Darwin's 'On the Origin of Species'
His writings have inspired and angered many a reader and now he's back with more.
Dawkins latest book The Greatest Show on Earth" offers scientific evidence as proof to back-up his own theory of evolution. Like his other writings, he has provoked a mass of rebuttals. The Christian-evangelical group, Living Waters, has recently countered Dawkins book with an unlikely source of its own. It has re-released Darwins manuscript with a new 54 page foreword penned by the groups president Ray Comfort that refutes Darwins theory of evolution.
This Tuesday marks the 150th anniversary of the publication of Charles Darwins On the Origin of Species. Dawkins joins us again as our Connector of the Day so don't miss the opportunity to ask him about Darwins most celebrated and much-debated manuscript.
