Richard Dawkins sat down with Jordan Peterson for a discussion about facts, stories, myths, and value. As they compared Christianity and Islam, Dawkins helped show how atheism is paving the way for Islam.

Has anyone else noticed that the "new atheists" are psychologically identical to the religious fundamentalists they mock?

Peterson: “I think we made great strides in this conversation.”

Dawkins: “But Jordan, we never once left our chairs!”

Every person I have ever met or seen in media who says "I only care about facts" ends up being the ones ruled by their emotions and biases. The people who actually care about facts are constantly questioning their own opinions and bias.

Its shocking that David breaks this whole interaction down into such amazing clarity and has no uncertain words; yet reading over the comments, so many people miss the entire point. At one point of this David talks about how the atheists avoid these questions or are too stupid to understand them. Its amazing to see it play out in real time.

Dawkins is at war with Dawkins. One Dawkins loves the fruits of Christianity while hating the ROOTS of Christianity.. The other Dawkins loves the roots of Islam while hating the fruits of Islam. Then Islam comes to eat both DawkinsES alive.

Dawkins should realise that his problem is his personal hatred for the true God. That is the God of Christianity.

15:07 _The complete inability of Dawkins to account for his own views while pretending that he only cares about facts is one of the primary factors that's destroying Western Civilization_

Yes. The more I listen to Dawkins, Harris, Atkins, and the late Hitchens, the more I think they're grossly overvalued as Atheists apologists. I can't believe I admired these people back when I was an Atheist!

It's pretty sad that Dawkins is the world's most well known evolutionary biologist and he has done absolutely nothing to advance the science. He has two theories that are both bunk, he's only well known because of his Christian hate.

Both Peterson and Dawkins were frustrating to watch. Most unnecessary conversation I've ever seen. Dawkins does not care, and Peterson can't say yes/no without spending 5 minutes explaining that his answer is yes AND no.

The " congratulations, you played yourself" meme perfectly fits in ...

[Watheverable]

Dawkins perfectly encapsulates what it means to be spiritual blind and to harden the heart.

I'm learning English special for watching David Wood and Somali Christian TV. I watch it with my family. Good job, guys! God bless you

I wish you and AP would make a video about the African Muslim tribes that are enslaving their neighboring tribes and selling them in burlap sacks in the market and to Libya. And also why American liberals aren't talking about that, but are rather condemning America for putting away slavery almost 200 years ago?

Having a posh accent allows Dawkins to get away with a lot of poor thinking, and being downright rude and childish.

[DC-zzfm]

Dawkins never evolved beyond his edgy teenager atheist phase. You can be a sophisticated atheist, but he is just embarrassing.

[RickDelmonico]

Facts and data are useless without proper interpretation.

I think Peterson did a decent job, here. Forced Dawkins to either come out with the truth, or contradict himself.

[Nullfuenf]

As a weak and cowardly man myself I can tell You that Dawkins is weak and a coward as well.

I love Christians to when they protect me and do what i say-Dawkins logic
