What, him again? And no new, ground-breaking book?

Richard Dawkins is one of the best known scientists in the world. He is author of ‘The Selfish Gene’, which upturned our understanding of natural selection, and in 2017 was named the most influential science book of all time. He is also author of ‘The God Delusion’, which caused a global sensation upon publication in 2006. He has chaired almost every event in the Darwin Day Lecture series since its launch in 2003. Humanists UK president Professor Alice Roberts takes over the chair of the lecture at this event, and introduces Richard Dawkins as he delivers the Darwin Day Lecture for the first time. More.

Somehow this stuff hasn’t aged well. Dissent from Darwinism is becoming commonplace and scrutiny is starting to go mainstream.

Beyond a certain point, just telling everyone else to get with the program doesn’t work.

All together now, Dissenters, Happy Birthday, Darwin!

See also: Maybe dissent from Darwin can’t kill a career any more? Too soon to tell but in an age when “trust in science” is demanded in the teeth of evidence, not on account of it, maybe Darwinism can’t kill opponents the way it used to. Or does it?

The Dissent from Darwinism list now tops 1000 scientists.

Human Zoos documentary aired on Chicago TV Discussing Human Zoos: America’s Forgotten History of Scientific Racism is noteworthy in itself. For various reasons. legacy media have never been willing to take the legacy of explicitly Darwinian racism seriously, much as they feature disconnected and useless rants about racism.

Like 2009, and 1959, there is nothing to celebrate for the Darwinians. https://www.amazon.de/Darwin-Revisited-understand-biology-century/dp/6202315113 peerPeer

TimothyA- The number of Stephens that can find scientific, evidentiary support for evolution by means of blind and mindless processes is exactly ZERO. And seeing that is really all that matters, what is your point?ET
