  • Is Science Compatible with Christianity? Richard Dawkins talks to Adrian Hawkes
    Sep 28 2024

    Tickets available at https://richarddawkinstour.com/

    I shall be spending the whole of September, and the first week of October, in North America, speaking in ten different cities from Dallas to Vancouver. I am 83 years old, and travel is more irksome than it was. The maxim, “Quit while you’re ahead” has recently received a welcome boost, and I anticipate that this will be my last American tour. My swansong. My final bow.

    There’ll be a Q & A at every event. This will probably be your last opportunity to tell me how profoundly you disagree with everything I’ve written and said. Or the reverse if that is the case. Either way, I look forward to seeing you.
