About Richard Dawkins
Richard Dawkins will present evidence for his argument that evolution is an incontrovertible fact. In his new book The Greatest Show on Earth: The Evidence for Evolution, the renowned evolutionary biologist and outspoken atheist takes on creationists, including followers of "intelligent design" and all those who question evolution through natural selection.
Richard Dawkins will be introduced by Brian Boyd, The University of Auckland's Distinguished Professor of English. He teaches a course in Literature and Science that includes Richard Dawkins's The Blind Watchmaker.

You have the opportunity to purchase up to two tickets to Richard Dawkins' only Auckland event before any remaining tickets are offered to the public. Tickets are on presale until Monday 30th November 2009 at $30 each plus booking/delivery fee.
