Daniel Dennett on Religion

Discussion in 'Religion, Beliefs and Spirituality' started by TheRiz, Mar 14, 2007.

  1. This video is Daniel Dennett giving an overview on his hypothesis on religions with respect to evolution and biology. It is quite fascinating.

    There are 5 parts, about 9 mins each, simply click on the next part on the right to proceed. I'd like to hear some thoughts on his remarks.
     
  2. Why do I even bother coming to check the boards when i'm as drunk and stoned as I currently am?

    I watch this and get back to ya tommorow afternoon, Riz.



    Impeccable typing, huh?
     
  3. Daniel Dennet is a pretty smart guy but he seriously under-states the harm that comes from religion, though last time I checked he was certainly coming around.
     
  4. Yeah, I realize this talk is simply an overview of the major points in one of his books. I like his approach though, slow and steady, logical. Between Dennet, Dawkins, and Harris, there is a triumvirate of approaches which all are weaved together to form one damn smart thesis.
