Join critically-acclaimed author and evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins and world-renowned theoretical physicist and author Lawrence Krauss as they discuss biology, cosmology, religion, and a host of other topics.

The authors will also discuss their new books. Dawkins recently published The Magic of Reality: How We Know What's Really True, an exploration of the magic of discovery embodied in the practice of science. Written for all age groups, the book moves forward from historical examples of supernatural explanations of natural phenomena to focus on the actual science behind how the world works.

Krauss's latest book, A Universe from Nothing: Why There is Something Rather than Nothing, explains the scientific advances that provide insight into how the universe formed. Krauss tackles the age-old assumption that something cannot arise from nothing by arguing that not only can something arise from nothing, but something will always arise from nothing.

    I generally don't have that kind of spare time but if gave us more of a general idea what this is about I might make time for it.

    Just an hour 30 min debate with a 30 mins of questions on the topics of evolution, teaching of sciences, aliens, alien lifeforms, religion. The stuff you would get with Richard Dawkins and a particle physicist. Even just watching the first 30 mins is good.

    Looks like two evolutionists having a conversation. Beyond that I don't know.

    What do you think of that David Icke? He's a bit too crazy for me; I came to that conclusion after trying to read a couple of his books.
