Richard Dawkins - The Enemies Of Reason - Part1 - Slaves to Superstition

Richard Dawkins - The Enemies Of Reason - Part1 - Slaves to Superstition Dawkins points to some of science’s achievements and describes it as freeing “most of us” from superstition and dogma.He saysreason is facing an “epidemic of superstition” that “impoverishes our culture” and introduces gurus that persuade us “to run away from reality”. He calls the present day “dangerous times”. He returns to science’s achievements, including the fact that, by extending our lifespan, it helps us to better appreciate its ‘other’ achievements. He turns his attention to astrology, which he criticises for stereotyping without evidence, and he tries an experiment in which 20 people of various star signs is asked if the verdict for Capricorn applies to them, while being told it is their ‘own' star sign. See the results!!!
