Evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins became one of the major figures of the ‘New Atheist Movement’ throughout the 00s and 10s, and shot to the top of global bestseller lists with his book ‘The God Delusion’. While his contributions to science are laudable in and of themselves, his impact on the global discussion of God and religion is what made him the icon he is today.
Piers wastes no time pinning Richard to the wall, and asks the renowned scientist if he does in fact think he’s a fool. Their energetic discourse then meanders towards the very nature of the universe, and Richard responds to criticisms brought up by past Uncensored guest, creationist Stephen C. Meyer. One sticking point between them is that recently Richard claimed to be a ‘cultural Christian’ - which Piers calls incongruous considering his long career of criticising religion.
The duo also cover the scandal-ridden world of trans women in sport, the dangers of AI and also whether Richard managed to get his hands on Oasis tickets...
