The Genius of Charles Darwin .
Tonight on Channel 4 television I watched the third and final episode of The Genius of Charles Darwin. This series was presented by Richard Dawkins , the author of The God Delusion , a book I thoroughly enjoyed reading whilst I was on holiday at Port El Kantaoui, Tunisia in November 2006.
For people too impatient to read his books, this series explores the gist of evolution, Charles Darwin, life and the religious impulse. The series is very moving and hopefully it has got some viewers to question their beliefs. I agree with what Richard Dawkins has written in his book and have thoroughly enjoyed this television series. Everything makes sense and it is easy to feel rather smug at knowing how life on our planet has evolved and how it works. You can laugh at all established religions, safe in the knowledge that they are all peddling fairy tales and are anxious to retain their power with their propaganda. When you look and learn how life on our planet exists, you will understand that there is no God and there was no creating deity to worship. You will then ask the question why religion is so powerful within our society? The answer I believe is because of the religious impulse that many people develop and never grow out of! Thankfully many more people are now seeing sense and are turning away from established religions. Those people who still believe in a God shout even louder because their numbers and influence are falling.
I am very happy as an Atheist and I am surprised at the large numbers of people throughout the world who are hoodwinked into believing that there is a God who created this earth. When will the penny drop with them, or have they been brainwashed by regular worship with all it's mind bending chanting rituals?
