The Poetry of Science: Richard Dawkins and Neil deGrasse Tyson

Two of science's luminaries converse on the beauty of science. Neil deGrasse Tyson, astrophysicist and host of NOVA and evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins will explore the wonders of the Cosmos and of Life, its origins, its inspirations, and why science is not just an option, it is the only reality we possess. One hour and 17 minutes.

Of course, the last question was somewhere between baiting and idiotic, but still. I was hoping Dawkins at some point to reprise http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tc5JXbyw1C0&NR=1
