Week 3and4, Beyond Belief session 3

Where should I begin? I found this session not interesting likesession 1 and 2. The reason is because the first speaker which wasJoan Roughgarden didn't know what she was talking about. I felt likeshe took her arguement about religion and science out of context.For example, the passage she read from the bible to make her pointclear in evolution was no where near the real meaning of the mustardseed and its significance. Im not too familiar with the passage, butI asked someone who is more familiar with it and he basicallyclaims that the mustard seeds refers to the faith that one has andthe reason why it is spread through out is to spread the passages ofthe bible. Roughgarden refered the spreading to having children. Ifound her unpleasant to listen too and also extremely boring.I also found Caroline Porrco extremely confusing only because Ithought that her speech didnt really go with the main topic, which isreligion and science. This was a tough session to listen too but aswell look at only because their speeches were not interesting andtherefore, I lost interest and found myself bored and lost and a bitirritated by Richard Dawkin views about religion. I feel heoverexagerated his negative views and made me dislike him even more.This convention is based solely on the efforts to provide people withmore information on a topic that requires attention, but I do notagree that all this bashing against religion should be made,especially when people are attending this convention open minded.
