The Enemies of Reason

Part One
We live in dangerous times when superstition is gaining ground and science is under attack. The current epidemic of irrational superstitious thinking impoverishes our culture and throws up New Age Gurus that exhort us to run away from reality. I agree with Richard Dawkins when he says in this documentary that our indulgence of irrationality isn't harmless; it profoundly undermines civilization. Reason and respect for evidence are the source of our progress and our safeguard against fundamentalists and those who profit from obscuring the truth.




Part Two
Dawkins takes on the enemies of reason in the Complementary Alternative Medicine field. Best of all, Deepak Chopra is bought to his knees when Dawkins forces him to admit that his use of the word 'quantum' is only intended metaphorically. METAPHORICALLY! There is no such thing as quantum healing. Yes, Deepak is revealed to be full of ****!
