Here is a set of interviews with Chris Hitchens, Sam Harris, Richard Dawkings and Daniel Dennet. Titled The Four Horsemen, it is the 4 leading infidels in the West today. It is an excellent, couple of videos. 2 hours in duration.

Yes, the flawed human couldn't answer a question. His whole body of work is therefor invalidated.

Which books of his have you read?

You religious types will cling to anything.

I've always regarded that vid as suspicious, because the question the woman supposedly asks has a straightforward answer highly unlikely to stump an Oxford professor if a guy (me) who peddles TEFL for a living can answer it.

Physical characteristics can be (and are) influenced and passed on in response to environmental adaptation. Straightforward example: the way melanin in skin typically responds to ultraviolet radiation. Humans probably evolved in the tropics, where they were exposed to high UV levels. The majority of dark pigmented people live within 20� of the equator. Most of the lighter pigmented people live in the northern hemisphere north of 20� latitude (northern Europe is 50-60�). One of the reasons Eskimos are dark (unlike northern Europeans) is that they have not lived in the region very long. More importantly, their traditional diet is rich in fish and other seafood, high in vitamin D, the "sunshine vitamin", so they haven't undergone the same reduction in pigmentation that would otherwise occur at such high latitudes. There. Increased information in the genome example.

Dawkins didn't know the program makers were creationists when she asked the question it dawned on him he was duped. He realised that he was being used and found he couldn't come with an answer or continue to speak without feeling his word would be quoted out of context.
