Faith

 In chapter 11 of The Selfish Gene the idea of faith is seen as a mental illness. One that can drive a person to such a state of mind that he or she might even believe that a martyr’s death can send them straight to heaven.

“ But what, after all, is faith? It is a state of mind that leads people to believe something—it doesn't matter what—in the total absence of supporting evidence.” (pg.330).

This video is an exact representation of Dawkins’s definition of faith. It demonstrates how a child at such a young age was implanted the idea that evolution is not true, that he was the product of Gods creation. The child could even swear on his life that evolution is the creation of fearless lying scientist whose only objective is to pursue common man into believes that God dose not exist. And that humans are the product of the evolution of monkeys. It is important to highlight that evolution is not base on a matter of faith but rather on true viable facts, which makes it true.
