when you say faith is rational and
evidence-based
00:00:05
I mean, if that were true it wouldn't need to be
faith, would it, if there were evidence for it?
00:00:10
Ahh, why would you need to call it faith? You would say it's just evidence
00:00:14
And when you said that, that faith
00:00:16
in relativity, in Einstein's theory of relativity,
00:00:22
that of course it is, but, um
00:00:25
the the evidence is all-important: Einstein's predictions
00:00:30
fit in with, uh, um, observed fact
00:00:33
and with a whole body of theory
00:00:38
use the word faith when there isn't any evidence.
LENNOX: Oh not at all! I presume
00:00:43
you've got faith in your wife, is there any evidence for that?
00:00:46
DAWKINS: Yes, plenty of evidence.
00:00:57
Let's generalize it never mind about my
wife! Let's generalize it!
LENNOX: It's the same with mine, Richard,
00:01:05
Because atheism is a faith, of course, as well.
DAWKINS: It's not!
