Is there a meaning to our lives? What are we here for? Author Richard Dawkins unlocks some interesting answers to such intriguing questions in his book 'The Selfish Gene'. Genes don’t care which organisms live or die, they just need robust containers that can nurture and propagate them. Dawkins calls us all, survival machines for the genes. Dawkins also coined the word, “memes” from a Greek word meaning imitation. He defines memes as ideas, catch phrases, tunes, fashion etc. Just like genes leap from one body to another, memes leap from one brain to another through imitation. The Selfish Gene contains such fascinating ideas.

Theology, theology and debate. Here is some hard hitting evidence! Here is some documented evidence! Authenticity of the Ica Stones Validated Basiio Ushuya became a great friend of Dr. Dennis Swift and so did Dr. Javier Cabrera and he visited them over the years particularly in 2001 as both men would shortly make their departure from this world. Basilio was married with eight children to support and by Peruvian standards a poor man. He admitted to copying ancient stone that tomb looters and archaeologists had discovered in order to make money to support his family. He insisted however, that the Cabrera Collection of stones were the “Real McCoy”. When Basilio was asked by journalist Andreas Fisher why he sold fake imitations to tourists and not the ancient engraved stones, he replied, if I were to sell stones with genuine ancient engraving, I would get into big trouble with the local Indians. They take their cultural inheritance seriously and I would also end up in prison. Authenticity of the Stones proved without a Shadow of a Doubt. Dr, Javier Cabrera took 33 stones from his museum collection in Ica to be examined at an independent laboratory in May 1967. He took them to Luis Hochshild who had a vast knowledge as a mining engineer, being President also of the Maurico Hochshild Mining Company in Lima Peru. In June of 1967 a report came back regarding laboratory tests on the ICA Stones, signed by Eric Wolf geologist. He said these were andesite stones which had been formed under great pressure. The stones are covered with a fine patina of natural oxidation which also covers the grooves by which their age should be able to be deduced. [Thus indicating they had not been carved recently] I have not been able to find any notable or irregular wear on the edges of the incisions, which leads me to suspect that these incisions were executed not long before being deposited in the graves or other places where they were discovered. Eric Wolf Lima 8th June 1967. Dr. Cabrera again submitted stones from his collection to Professor Frenchen at the University of Bonn. He received another report back on 28th January 1969. This report confirmed the earlier laboratory tests. The stones were andesite being covered with a patina or film which covered the stones going into the grooves that illustrated the dinosaurs. This is a natural oxidation process indicating they were very old, while you cannot precisely date them they are not of recent origin. There was an impressive array of qualified experts which have attested to the fact that engravings were scratched on the stones before the patina and varnish formed as a result of biological processes. Just to add weight to the authenticity of the stones, the Nazca desert of Southern Peru is one of the most arid, dry and desolate places on earth; with no measurable moisture in some spots for decades. It takes considerable time therefore for patina to form under these conditions on these artifacts. This information has been known for many years by those in the evolutionary community, some have passed on carrying this credible evidence with them to the grave. When evolutionary dogma is challenged, they close ranks and pull up the draw-bridge of their castle which they have built up over the years. The castle being: all their developmental evolutionary religious ideology. The doors of the citadels are closed to the “scientific method” when it comes to evolution being threatened. Evidence that provokes questions will not be tolerated. They have spent a lot of time over the years adorning and garnishing their erected Tower of Time. There is indeed a global conspiracy among the Darwinian Evolutionary Community to ignore, suppress and disregard evidence against evolution. They would have to re-write the history of man if they were to acknowledge that dinosaurs were contemporary with humans. Everything would be questioned and they cannot afford that mistake! These are not the actions of a sound and intelligent specie

I have read few books of Richard Dawkins ,including Selfish Gene .Ever since I read his books,I am happier that I have come to know the truth and the purpose of existence of humans,plants and animals ,that is gene replication.Also you have presented in this video the key points of the book in a very short time which is appreciable.Thanks.

Excellent effort at maintaining a self consistent framework of explanation. This places "advaitic" explanation still one step ahead of science at the moment. I would like to suggest a minor tweak to this theory - rather than "sakshi" chaitanya I propose we go with "sankalpa" chaitanya. Foe some of this audience this means we move from a observer who establishes "witness"(sakshi) to one who is rooted in "intent"(sankapla). this will help relieve some of the stress in the theory.

Oh God! What a revelation on memes!!! I have had the privilege of researching on DNA for some years. and had attributed all cause and effect to the genes, but this thing - memes - are simply standing out!!! And when you cited the examples of saints and researchers and writers, who have contributed through their memes, the theory just amazes !!!!

Very good analysis of revolutionary thoughts. Is our brain still passing through evolution.? It is very correct that every human being is selfish by birth and he has to be for his survival. Peoples pretend to behave decently and peacefully in social atmosphere. Here they have a deep selfishness of own survival. Each one of us is attached to each other by selfishness.

2.40 to 2.46, Nice guys are not likely to survive for long, very confusing. For instance Sir M Vishveshwaraya, was a notable civil engineer, an expert in irrigation design, reservoirs, dams, drinking water supply and drainage schemes. He was also a legendary nation builder, and he lived for more than 100years. Throughout his life, there are several instances, he never misused his office kept others interest above his selfish interest. There are some more people whom I can quote, who have lived for more than 100years. Another name is paramacharya of Kanchi Shankar Mutt.

The quote is from English Literature - from Biblical thought process. In Sanatan Dharma we have Karmic accounts over many births and thus no simple quotation like this is spoken in our culture

Madam, Your language is too good. However I request you to kindly check whether "NICE GUYS FINISH FIRST" or "LAST"? It seems you have preconceived notion about religious dogmas and thus you try to fit Dawkins in to your dogma. Though I have just read first 2 chapter, your views seem to be contradictory with respect to the book. Please...kindly check and let me know as it may be helpful for my better understanding while reading rest of the book please...
