Beyond Belief 2006 conference REPACK (Richard Dawkins, Michael Shermer, Sam Harris, Athiesim)

REPACK (Session 5 was the wrong size before) origional source: http://www.BeyondBelief2006.org/ Beyond Belief 2006 conference, with speakers like Richard Dawkins, Michael Sherm er, Sam Harris, and many others. Lecture topics include Science, Religion, Evolution, etc. -- Just 40 years after a famous TIME magazine cover asked "Is God Dead?" the answer appears to be a resounding "No!" According to a survey by the Pew Forum on Reli gion & Public Life in a recent issue of Foreign Policy magazine, "God is Winning ". Religions are increasingly a geopolitical force to be reckoned with. Fundamen talist movements - some violent in the extreme - are growing. Science and religi on are at odds in the classrooms and courtrooms. And a return to religious value s is widely touted as an antidote to the alleged decline in public morality. Aft er two centuries, could this be twilight for the Enlightenment project and the b eginning of a new age of unreason? Will faith and dogma trump rational inquiry, or will it be possible to reconcile religious and scientific worldviews? Can evo lutionary biology, anthropology and neuroscience help us to better understand ho w we construct beliefs, and experience empathy, fear and awe? Can science help u s create a new rational narrative as poetic and powerful as those that have trad itionally sustained societies? Can we treat religion as a natural phenomenon? Ca n we be good without God? And if not God, then what? This is a critical moment in the human situation, and The Science Network in ass ociation with the Crick-Jacobs Center brought together an extraordinary group of scientists and philosophers to explore answers to these questions. The conversa tion took place at the Salk Institute, La Jolla, CA from November 5-7, 2006.

to the people who dont seed after downloading: i wish there were a hell so you could go to it

Just thought I'd brag about having seeded this to a ratio of 25:1... So I'm closing in on 100 GB uploaded, and I thought I'd keep going for as long as there seem to be an interrest in these files.
I think it's a good thing to make this kind of stuff available. Many who hold a more naturalistic worldview seem to think of it with a kind of insecure shame, or not think of it at all. I believe many don't even know there are others out there who are doing some great work to give structure to these thoughts. I also think it's important to "break the spell" that Dennett is talking about, and I think this is a good time to do it.

I've seeded this to a ratio of about 1:106 now, and the torrent is pretty much dead as far as I can tell. If you want to get this I suggest going to the original source at the link in the description.
While you're at it, please visit http://www.defendscience.org and sign the statement and/or give a little donation. It's amazing that an action like that is even needed, but that's the world we live in and any help (financial or otherwise) is much appreciated.

Outstanding material. I'll be seeding for as long as I possibly can!
