The God Delusion is a non-fiction book by British ethologist and atheist Richard Dawkins, Professor for the Public Understanding of Science at Oxford University.

In the book, Dawkins argues that religious faith qualifies as a delusion, which he defines as a persistent false belief held in the face of strong contradictory evidence. He is sympathetic to Robert Pirsig's observation that "when one person suffers from a delusion it is called insanity. When many people suffer from a delusion it is called Religion."

The God Delusion was ranked #2 on the Amazon.com bestsellers' list in November 2006. In early December 2006, it reached number #4 in the New York Times Hardcover Nonfiction Best Seller list after nine weeks on the list. As of February 14, 2007, it is listed at #8, after 20 weeks on the list.

Root of All Evil
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0774118/

This documentary provides a great view at religion and its contradictory evilness. As we live in a world that's threatened by religious fanatics and almost all major conflicts are based on religion, shouldn't it be time we start questioning religion? Dawkins does question religion and everything else. And he continually stresses that as opposed to faith, science tries to discover the world and congratulates everyone who makes theories obsolete.

There's a common word used against people like Dawkins - arrogance. But isn't arrogant the one who says he knows everything? Dawkins says he knows nothing but what the facts reveal him.

Fear the one who offers all knowledge for he is lying.

thnx

Decoding The Past: The Other Nostradamus DVD

Examine the original transcriptions of many predictions.
Rare archival photos and footage show the healer and mystic at work.
The true story of a forgotten folk figure.

He predicted WWII, the deaths of U.S. presidents, and the turmoil of the 1960s. He prophesied that Israel would become a state 15 years before the event and foretold the Great Depression. Many of his visions seemed to pass unfulfilled, but are now being proven accurate.

His name is Edgar Cayce, and he is sometimes called the other Nostradamus. Throughout the 1930s and '40s, Cayce was a well-known figure, renowned for his "healing abilities" as well as his prophecies. DECODING THE PAST examines the transcriptions of Cayce's readings to see which of his predictions have come true, which remain unfulfilled, and which may yet be realized. Filled with expert interviews, the recollections of those who saw Cayce work, and archival photos and footage, THE OTHER NOSTRADAMUS is a compelling look at a unique American figure.

Past Life Investigation

Was real estate agent Bill a bootlegger in 1920s Chicago? Could website designer Natasha have been a bean trader in Nepal? And did homemaker Birgitta's many lives take her through time as an African mother, an aristocrat in France, a widow in Russia and a male farmer in northern Germany?

Everyone wants to know if we have been here before. Will we be here again? In P.L.I., ordinary Canadians are invited to explore this idea by trying past life regression hypnosis, which some believe can give access to past life memories. This series of three one-hour network specials will air consecutive Wednesday’s, September 29, October 6 and 13 at 8pm.

Intrepid reporter Sarah Kapoor investigates details of the volunteers’ hypnotic experiences to look for hard evidence that these lives could have actually existed. Her detective work takes her around the world; from a rural Indian village to an Irish graveyard, from a nunnery to a saloon. She gets help from historians, village elders, priests and advocates of paranormal activity.

For volunteers Bill, Birgitta and Natasha - who all share a healthy dose of skepticism - a trip to view the evidence of their past lives could rock their present world! Part X Files, part Lonely Planet, part Nancy Drew, P.L.I., does not try to prove or disprove the existence of reincarnation or that memories can be recalled through hypnosis. Instead it looks at a mysterious experience that asks us all to ask ourselves: What does happen after we die?
