Atheism, Agnosticism and God May 7, 2008

With John Cornwell, Mark Vernon and Julian Baggini

Richard Dawkins’ The God Delusion has sparked massive debate. One to respond in detail is historian and journalist John Cornwell with Darwin’s Angel, in which he argues that Dawkins is dogmatic and extremist.

He discusses his book with the atheist philosopher Julian Baggini, author of Athiesm: A Short Introduction and Mark Vernon, agnostic, who in After Atheism, argues that a committed, even passionate, agnosticism is vital for the future of our planet and our souls.
