I. 09 presents The Geek's Guide to the galaxy. And here are your hosts, John Joseph Adams and David Barr

Kirtley.

Hello and welcome to episode 46 of Geek's Guide to the Galaxy.

Hi, I'm John Joseph Adams. I'm the editor of Lightspeed and Fantasy magazine. I'm also the editor of several anthologies such as Wastelands and Brave New Worlds. My forthcoming books include Light Speed Year 1, under the moons of Mars, new adventures on Barsoom, and armored.

And I'm David Barr Curley.

I'm the author of many short stories including Catton Victory,

a science fiction adventure story for young atheists

about the things that matter most.

Chases, sword fights, hero worship Worship, Mistaken Identity, Sudden Epiphanies, Shattered Illusions, Genocide, Creation

Myths, Puppy Love, The Evolution Debate, Clark's Law, Religious Zeal zealot, anthropomorphic cats and

Ry allusions to Plant of the Apes and Thundercats.

The story is available for free online in the June 2010 issue of Light Speed magazine.

And our guest today is Evolutionary Bologist Richard Dawkins.

He came to prominence with his book The Selvish Gene, which popularized the gene-centered view of evolution,

and introduced the term meme.

He followed that up with other books on evolutionary biology such as the

extended phenotype and the blind watchmaker. In his 2006 book The God Illusion, which

is sold more than 2 million copies, he contends that a supernatural creator almost certainly does not exist.

His most recent book is The Magic of Reality,

a picture book illustrated by Dave McKein.

Okay, so let's get to our interview.

All right, so we're get to our interview.
