Richard Dawkins: [The Magic of Reality] is a book about science. It doesn't talk about God.
Bill O'Reilly: It mocks God, I looked at it. Come on!
Richard Dawkins: Which bit have you looked at?
Bill O'Reilly: I went through that book, and you're basically saying that everything can be explained by science. Correct?
Richard Dawkins: Well, everything about the natural world can be explained by science. But where does that mock God?
Bill O'Reilly: Yeah, it basically says that these things are myths, they're not really true.
Richard Dawkins: Every chapter has myths at the beginning--
Bill O'Reilly: Ah-ha!
Richard Dawkins: Some of them are Aztec myths, there are ancient Egyptian myths, Greek myths, Judeo-Christian myths.
Bill O'Reilly: Whatever! Don't play these semantic games with me! You know what you're doing. You're trying to get to the kids and say, "You're an idiot if you believe in God."
Richard Dawkins: It's got nothing to do with God! I'm talking about myths from all over the world. The Judeo-Christian myth is thrown in occasionally, as one of many myths that come from around the world.
Bill O'Reilly: But the Judeo-Christian philosophy isn't a myth. It's reality.
