The Enemies of Reason
The enemies of reason is a television documentary in two parts, written and presented by evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins. Is it rational that the dead can communicate with the living and give advice on how to live their lives? What about sticking pins into your body to free the flow of Chi energy and cure your illness?

O bending spoons with his mind alone? Is that rational? Richard Dawkins does not think so, and feels it is their duty to report to the areas of belief that exist without scientific proof, however, manage to keep the nation under his spell. He will face the world’s leading proponents in their field of expertise, meet the victims who have used them and expose the history of movements – from the charlatans who have milked these practices to the experiments and tests have not produced conclusive results.
Dawkins points out that some of the achievements of science and describes it as the release of most of the people of superstition and dogma. Picking up his superstition-reason distinction in the root of all evil? (While recycling some pictures of him), then says reason is facing an “epidemic of superstition” that “impoverishes our culture” and enter gurus who persuade us “to escape reality.” He calls this day in dangerous times. Return to the achievements of science, including the fact that, by extending the life expectancy of people, helping them to take more advantage of living. He turns his attention to astrology, which criticizes the stereotypes without proof.

thanks for this exellent movie
@logicnreason1 Funny how you conveniently left out those that were massacred with religious motivation.
@logicnreason1 Well no s*** people are going to die. Just because it was the age of reason does not mean it was the age of immortality. Its not like EVERYONE f****** EVERYONE embraced reason. And the fact that all those historical villains you listed thought it was reasonable, obviously they were crazy and not very smart. Like you.
@TheScienceFoundation I’m sure he meant that the people who thumbs down the video are those who disagree with its contents, and therefor the ones who we’d most like to watch it. The small number of dislikes indicates that very few people who need this information are getting it (from this video). He’s lamenting that the video seems to only be preaching to the choir.
@prezoftheworld Does Dawkins realize that in the name of reason, hundreds or thousands of people were killrd during the French revolution. Stalin, Pol Pot, and Mao thought it reasonable to kill millions to further their goals. Reason, untempered by faith is just as dangerous as faith without reason.
Anyone else notice the medium shaking his head “no” at 25:20 ish? He clearly doesn’t believe a word he just said. For a cold reader, he’s a really S***** liar.
@prezoftheworld i know, how does he do it?!
I’m amazed that he can keep a straight face while talking to some of these people.
From the book of n’Brith.And an angel appeared to Noob who dwelt in the house of b’Ush. Travel to the land of Sol and there thou wilt find Scholars and harlots. Thou shalt fill the harlots tabernacles with molten bronze that they be sealed from the seed of men. Harken not to their screams or tears for just is the lord. Leave them to rot upon the earth for a day and half a day. Those of tender years shall not be left but after a time have their vaults cleaved and be hang upon the branches.Amen.
I don’t like cats…”If you give a dog food, shelter and love he will think that you are god, If you give a cat the same things she will draw the conclusion that she is god”
@SpaceWineTV Ask that psychic how to unite quantum phys and general relativity? You can blow up the world of physics by this revolutionary knowledge. Next year noble prize would be yours too. Ask him if you really are convinced that in your case his foretelling was correct not a coincidence.
@mhr88 Most people can’t understand Mr. Dawkins. Too many people are amazingly stupid. The cat is about as much as they can handle.
@SpaceWineTV I am not in anyway saying that what Dawkins claims is b.s., although, from my experience, I do believe that out of all the obviously fraudulent psychics and astrologers, there might be some legitimate fortune tellers out there.
February of 2010 I went w/a friend to see a ‘psychic.’When I entered the room had the same skepticism as most people thinking the psychic would just give me general readings, but she told me very specific things. She said in May I would be in a relationship with a girl whose name starts with “N,” and that in August I would get a promotion, and that I would get in a car accident in 2011. I left and completely forgot about all those predictions, only to remember them when they had all come true.
@mhr88 OMG thank you i love you so much!!!!!!!!
although i would disagree with the cat part, sure it doesn’t deserve as much views and popularity as Dawkins, but it’s not stupid 
@Janusha There are more religious believer in the US than in any other first-world country. And other countries do not want the US run by religious bigots looking for the end times. Hitchens (until his death) was living in the US and is an American citizen. Both he and Dawkins are continually invited onto news shows, debates and college campuses to speak. People in the US want to hear what they have to say.
@ghostframerImi not really a person that struggles with the end of faith in any shape. Im more concerned with the amount of people that actually do. As such its freakshow weird to see how 2 enlightened, educated and intellectual british people make a good living and a healthy career out of travelling around USA telling people there is no god. I mean… do we REALLY need to be told this ?
@TheNimbusMan You may only want to hear what other religions have to say, but the believers want you to believe what they believe and if you don’t they are prepared to make you. The Muslim faith (and the Koran) is dedicated to world domination. Non-believers must convert or die. Christians in the States want to force their beliefs into your schools and government. And some cultures have disgusting traditions like genital mutilation. It is not a perfect world of love and understanding.
@Janusha Too bad, they are worth reading. Read Sam Harris’ book “The End of Faith.” It’s very enlightening. Daniel Dennet is also a philosopher and his books are a lot harder to get through, but worth the effort.
@ghostframerNope.. never heard of those.
@Janusha So I suppose you have never heard of Sam Harris or Daniel Dennett. They are atheists doing the same thing and are both Americans. Believe it or not, the whole world doesn’t revolve around the United States.
@TheScienceFoundation No, he means thumbs down. Because the people who NEED to see this are the ones most likely to disagree with it (or feel threatened by it).
@SB9101Americans have a kind of pathologic aversion towards any foreign influence. Their attitude is often extreme such as their foreign policy “you are either with us or against us”. Anything which isnt american is anti american, anything which isnt christian is anti christian. Its really about nationalism tho. With their “Gods own country!!” and their constant “God bless America” Its about their unshakable belief in their own superiority that no amount of bankruptcies and “reality” can shake.
@DarknessUnresolved No worries, it is easaly misunderstood. I wasn’t very clear on the matter.
@Janusha I guess so, but then europe are less religious or at least they keep religion in their homes and melt in with tradition.
