\nThis week,\xa0Point of Inquiry\xa0welcomes Richard Dawkins for a special episode recorded before a live audience at the Center for Inquiry\u2019s Reason for Change conference in Buffalo, New York on June 13, 2015. Dawkins is easily one of the world\u2019s most influential and controversial scientists; a pioneer in evolutionary biology, science communication, and the public visibility of atheists. He is the author of several bestselling books including\xa0The Selfish Gene,\xa0The God Delusion, and\xa0Unweaving the Rainbow, and he is founder of the Richard Dawkins Foundation for Reason and Science.\n\xa0\n

\nDawkins is joined by\xa0Point of Inquiry\xa0host Josh Zepps, discusses how he found his love for science and evolution, the importance of secular values, and how we can inspire people to appreciate and embrace science. It\u2019s not all serious and lofty, of course, as Dawkins cops to being \u201cpretty condescending and bossy,\u201d and displays his remarkable proficiency with an outlandish American accent.\xa0\n\xa0\n
