Richard Dawkins (2018 Event)
Whatever your opinion of Richard Dawkins, and few people choose to sit on the fence when it comes to the world’s best-known evolutionary biologist, his passion for science cannot be denied. In Science in the Soul, he asks whether his discipline can be viewed as another religion; whether scientists can be viewed as prophets; and if it’s possible that alien life exists in other worlds. Chaired by Ruth Wishart and recorded live at the 2018 Edinburgh International Book Festival.
