Michael Schmidt-Salomon on "Evolutionary Humanism: How to cope with the moral arguments against evolution" - Many objections made to the theory of evolution are not scientific but moralistic. Especially in Germany, evolutionary thinkers are confronted with the reproach that their ideas would lead to a new rise of Social Darwinism. Evolutionary Humanism deals with this problem. It combines a strong naturalistic and an also strong humanistic point of view which is attractive for many people today: YouTube

Richard Dawkins on "There is grandeur in this view of life": This talk reflects the final chapter of his book, The Greatest Show on Earth: YouTube
