The claims of scientists for AI and the extension of human life   are just nuts.

I thought that my schizophrenia was caused by the interference of a future supercomputer, now that's fucked up.

Richard Dawkins is good at "popularising" science. He's an adequate academic in his own right, but I think his greater talent lies in being able to talk about scientific matters to people not well-versed in such. The gift of an educator, I suppose you may call it. He's kind-of in the same club as Neil Degrasse Tyson.

In Asmo's grey lump,
wrath and dark clouds gather force.

Which of his books have you read?
If religions were TV channels atheism is turning the TV off.
"Religion is a culture of faith; science is a culture of doubt." ― Richard P. Feynman
'It is said that your life flashes before your eyes just before you die. That is true, it's called Life.' - Terry Pratchett
Remember, your inability to grasp science is not a valid argument against it.

The Asmo, He has read The Selfish Gene. A classic at this point, but it didn't age badly. :smilenod:

The Magic Pudding.

I read Climbing Mount Improbable, well almost.
I got to about 20 pages from the summit and stopped 'cause it was getting repetitive.
There's probably nuances I'm to thick to appreciate, although I peeked at the peak (last page).
It was good though, evolution is largely intuitive but there are little twists involved.
I think the God Delusion is fine.
What are the complaints anyway?
He's not expert enough to do it?
Fck that, religion it's obviously crap.
It just doesn't deserve deeper delving.

Asmodean

...Oh yeah, that's right! Read The God Delusion as well. :smilenod:

Well, the science in that book is pretty much understood already.
