I had a chance to take several classes that Father Coyne taught at Le Moyne college, and i can tell you that he is without a doubt one of the most humblest and nicest individual i have ever met in my life. I went in to the class (not knowing anything about him) with a very biased opinion knowing he was a priest, and i came out a much better human being. If people had even a small fraction of the characteristic Father Coyne possesses, the world would be a much better place.

@2fast2block I'm not the person making the claim. I'm saying "I don't know." YOU need to provide the evidence for your claim. Incidentally, please try to refrain from crudity and vulgarity - it adds nothing to your credibility.

I consider myself as an atheist but with these words I can say that there's a great understanding between R. Dawkins and this George Coyne. There are lots of things that traditional faiths (monotheistic religions nowadays and in the past polytheistic) can't ignore anymore about scientific discoveries but even so there is a gap that science can't explain so far and I'd dare to say that this gap, even narrowing, will remain to the infinity. So guys there will always be room for faith.
I particularly think that we will be continuously learning about the workings of the universe but we will never know the truth because is an intellectual creation. Within that gap you can have your own belief, I believe that there is no God, it's not a fact and as I can make this rational choice of believing that, a person who choose to believe in God can make this decision in the same rational manner. I think that what Richard Dawkins wants is not to persuade people not to believe, he just wants to raise the level of the intellectual social debate to consolidate and develop moral values that are, in my opinion, far beyond the moral values of past religions.
Respect for animals is one of those that are not contained in religious books and I think no one right now in western countries would dare to say on TV something against that because he would be metaphorically "stoned" (it's interesting that we continue to stoned people nowadays but in a more humane manner, in the past to death).
This is one of lots of clear examples that demonstrate that our moral values in these days are overwhelmingly passing the Christian, Muslim and Jewish Values (which represent the values of another age) and the Catholic Church and the Jewish and Muslim Institutions know that you have to cherry-pick in their Holy Scriptures to create a decent support of a human moral set of values similar to the one we have in our time. That is what they don't want you to know because they want to keep on maintaining their power over you.
In a nutshell, what R.Dawkins wants to say with his massage is basically: Think for yourself and discover your own truth (which both mean the same as truth is an intellectual creation), don't let anyone tell you what to believe, because this right, freedom of thought, is the one the humanity has been looking for since the early days, don't waste it, it's not just an incredible "gift" (who will ever be able to explain how and exactly when intelligence just appeared?) it is your most powerful weapon to fight against your environment.

This interview is so informative, so insightful, it must be seen by everyone who believes that religion and science both seek the truth. Mr. Dawkins has so many penetrating questions and Fr. Coyne gives the best rational (not perfect) answers that both men come to an lucid and cognitive narrative of religion and science.

@Jack Probert "Why not just admit that you do not understand the basics of physics, chemistry, astronomy, cosmology and biology - in other words, a man without any decent reasoning skills."

And since you DO understand such things in your list, this is what you gave to prove what I gave is not correct...

Gilles Vuille

Wow ! I had seen this interview a few years ago, and when RD he met George Coyne, Jesuit priest, in The Vatican, it was not to discuss the color of the flowers, but rather the real sens of life, which this former professor of astronomy was highly capable to explain, especially when RD might be in quest of God, all the more that everyone is right, to the extent of one's current knowledge. In actuall fact, if RD is known for the "spectacle", he never experienced the God's love, and therefore felt obliged to write his blessering "The God Delusion" to which I responded with "A Finger on the light, counterpoint to Richard Dawkins' atheism", edited by Stratton Press, Cheyenne, WY. As to science, and despite hugh progress it made, it has never found the words to bring reconciliation where chaos reigns betwen men, nor the merest consolation to mothers who lose their children. Last but not least, RD also noticed in his book that he will be subject to a conversion on his beddeath ... So, he who laughs last, laughs longer ! Enjoy the lecture of my book, you will be surprised, as one finds food for thought ! Thank you !

Wow, why was this omitted from his program? This is a great interview. I thought it would piss me off like most of these things do but this was really interesting to watch.

It helps prove to atheists that not all Christians are like the evangelical fundamentalists who believe the Bible literally. People like that are really a minority in the Christian faith.

DANIX

@Ricky Darcilover Where does it say we have to take the Bible literally if we are Christian, literally that is said nowhere

Bill Scannell

"Fundamentalist religion is hell-bent on ruining the scientific education of countless thousands of innocent, well-meaning, eager young minds. Non-fundamentalist, 'sensible' religion may not be doing that. But it is making the world safe for fundamentalism by teaching children, from their earliest years, that unquestioning faith is a virtue." --Richard Dawkins, 'The God Delusion'

Little Boots

@Ricky Darcilover why do you have to take the Bible literally if you are a Christian? Not all of it is written to be taken literally. Where it is, it is clear. Why would you have to take poetry literally? Or songs? We find it easy to differentiate literary styles in English today, do you think there were no different literary styles then?

Rest in peace Father George Coyne 11/02/2020. I feel very sorry for the loss of such a great human being. I am an atheist who feels thoroughly respected by father Coyne when he spoke about his religious beliefs and is people like him that makes me feel proud of my western heritage which, even-though I reject being part of any church or god existence, I accept that christianity is part of my cultural heritage that makes my disbelief possible.

The rest of this interview is highly recommended, it is really touching to hear father Coyne about his god not being a god of explanation, I understood that for him is a matter of faith that I nor Dawkins have and it is implicit that the lack of faith is not a reason to condemn anybody, as atheist that statement disarms any belligerence and the rest is just to let yourself go and enjoy a true sage.

I've watched all parts of this video. I am a huge fan of Mr. Dawkins as a scientist, public educator and orator. This discourse between these two very enlightened gentlemen is the best I've ever seen. Both their standpoints sound equally valid, which shows that it doesn't take just ONE opinion to solve the mysteries of the universe, it takes several. This is what's wrong with most religions. They claim to have all the answers and seek to dismiss all who do not swear to them particularly.

Jeffrey Jackson

Man and his own insight will never solve the mysteries of the universe, not in totality. If he could, he would be God. Why can't we just accept that there are some things we are just not going to understand? Faith is required. If man understood everything, he would make the critical mistake that he doesn't need God or is equal to God, the created thinking that he is greater than the creator? That's a recipe for disaster. Don't you think?

Darwinism was an interesting idea in the 19th century, when handwaving explanations gave a plausible, if not properly scientific, framework into which we could fit biological facts. However, what we have learned since the days of Darwin throws doubt on natural selection's ability to create complex biological systems - and we still have little more than handwaving as an argument in its favor.

In this first part, he says that there's more to mankind than the way science sees us. That's all very well and good, if it wasn't such a bold claim, unsupported by any evidence. Also, if we can find "material" causes for all "material" events, then surely that negates the need, and possibility, of the supernatural for explanations?
