      Richard Dawkins teaches the universe came from "literally nothing."
      Real science says nothing does nothing. Real science says if there was something there already it must fit with the evidence of what we know. We know the 1LT says there's a conservation of energy. It can change forms and neither can be created or destroyed. Creation cannot happen by natural means. The 2LT has various aspects, one being the universe is winding down, entropy. Usable energy is becoming less usable, so at one point usable energy was at its max. This all points to a supernatural creation, by a supernatural creator at a certain point in which matter, space and time were created. When I read how it can happen otherwise, ALL the fools resort to science-fiction. Once a supernatural creation is accepted, then the next step is finding proof of what supernatural power did it.
      We can't get anything from "literally nothing." We can't even get science without God. The laws of nature only can come from a Lawgiver, God.

At the beginning of the 21th century we don't need stupid fundamentalisms of any kind. We have intellectually grown up und and our worldview is both structured by scientific knowledge and openness to the the questions, that no human being will ever be able to answer. The stuff by D, is on a similar intellectual level as say scientology or the catechism of the catholic church or the theories of creationists. But this is simply not good enough and we must not settle for that.

One aspect of the 2LofT shows that the universe is winding down, usable energy is becoming less usable. Creation had to be done supernaturally at some point.

    Right around one hour and 20 minutes the audience asked him if he thinks, because of advances in medicine and what not, that there’s any more evolution involved in the human species. I think Dawkins misunderstood the questions and answered as if the gentleman had asked about artificial or a human guided or eugenic evolution.
    And the last question was are there certain humans that are more predisposed to rational or irrational thoughts than others, genetically, and he also misunderstood that one. I would’ve loved to have heard his answers to both.

But the problem is that we don't always have the knowledge of science and technology to figure a lot of our questions out. Religion provides an easy and understandable explanation to all of these questions. Why are we here? Who made us? Where did everything come from? Where do we go after we die? It can also provide people with control of others like preventing them from doing bad things and encouraging them to do good, maybe to convince people of breaking bones to haul that brick because God wants this shrine or whatever built. It is an easy way to control, encourage, answer, etc.

Should you touch that hot thing and see for yourself or should you just take your mom's word for it? This mentality at a young age is another reasonable idea that might explain why they just take the parent's word for it, and/or maybe because that is their only source of info so if they say it, it must be true.So if you grow up forever thinking that when you throw things up they fall down, what could possibly be the chances that they will dart sideways and then upward?

      Richard Dawkins teaches the universe came from "literally nothing."
      Real science says nothing does nothing. Real science says if there was something there already it must fit with the evidence of what we know. We know the 1LT says there's a conservation of energy. It can change forms and neither can be created or destroyed. Creation cannot happen by natural means. The 2LT has various aspects, one being the universe is winding down, entropy. Usable energy is becoming less usable, so at one point usable energy was at its max. This all points to a supernatural creation, by a supernatural creator at a certain point in which matter, space and time were created. When I read how it can happen otherwise, ALL the fools resort to science-fiction. Once a supernatural creation is accepted, then the next step is finding proof of what supernatural power did it.
      We can't get anything from "literally nothing." We can't even get science without God. The laws of nature only can come from a Lawgiver, God.
      God is the reason for us and all we have.

    To the comments referring to the self consuming aspect of evolution and a common ancestor I would like to give my humble analysis of the situation. That's true if you only take into account the method by which creatures devour one another. Please consider this: if a single celled organism were to divide into multiple organisms and head off in two different directions for centuries they would eventually evolve to adapt to their environments. Now, let's say that one environment is more adverse than the other and that that genetic species living in that environment, which I will refer to as Cell B, experiences a genetic mutation which allows it to consume another living species, perhaps the other cell (which I will refer to as cell A). This would allow for Cell B to survive by consuming Cell A and further perpetuating the species, which at this point is life in general. Thank you for the time that you took to read this.

      @deluxeassortment 5 років тому

      Imagine if your grandmother had two husbands. All of her children and grandchildren from both husbands have your grandmother as a matrilineal Most Recent Common Ancestor (mt-MRCA). But your grandfather is not a Most Common Recent Ancestor of all of those same people. But somewhere up the line, both grandfathers may be descended from the same man, and that might be 500 years ago, but that man would be considered the Y-MRCA or Y-chromosomal Most Recent Common Ancestor. Obviously they did not live at the same time. Now, imagine everyone else in the world was dead except your grandmother's children and grandchildren. We would say she is the mt-MRCA of all living people.
      We can trace your grandmother's genes back by looking at the DNA of each of the living people. We cannot see her actual DNA this way but we can trace back a profile of all the inherited DNA. This profile would exist as a pointer to a person rather than a descriptive profile of the person themself.
      Now, simply scale this up going back many generations using all of the DNA of everyone in the world that we have on file. We can point to a female who is the most recent common ancestor of every human living on earth and every human that will ever live from now on. They call this woman Mitochondrial Eve. Again, she did not necessarily have to live at the same time as Y-chromosomal Adam. The names 'Adam' and 'Eve' were kind of tongue-in-cheek references and do not indicate any sort of first humans.

      I still don't understand why the recent common ancestor or, in general, a common ancestor as a single individual has to exist logically.
      If the common ancestor concept exists does it mean that all living things on earth have a single common ancestor (which I suppose to be something as the first type of cell ever formed)?
      If so we are saying that all the living things have as a ancestor the same organism and therefore that living creature in the past was formed by chance.
      Couldn't be that 2 or 3 or millions of this oraganisms that carried life for the first time were born by chance. And then every single creature nowadays is associated to one of this first born life form.

      @@lucanina8221 The matrilineal most recent common ancestor (mt-MRCA) is simply a human woman who is common to all humans alive, going up the maternal side of families. What you are referring to is the Last Universal Common Ancestor (LUCA) and is a very different concept, one which would require a different explanation.
      While the existence of mt-MRCA does not logically lead to the existence of LUCA, the method for tracing back to LUCA is basically the same, but requires far more data. It is now standard practice for scientists to take DNA samples any time it is possible to do so.
      We can follow these same lineages back until we arrive at a singularity, where the DNA of all life on earth converges, and we arrive at a single, _theoretical_ organism. Not only that, but we can use the DNA clock to actually calculate a time, which is about 4 billion years ago, and this puts it in line with they the theorized arrival of life time based on fossil evidence (estimated to be about 500 million years before the earliest animals which were capable of being fossilized, which was 3.5 billion years ago). It's nice when dates line up from different sources life that, it adds confirmation to the evidence.
      As for the evidence, well the evidence is in all the collected DNA. Each time we take a sample, it lines up with the predictions of the theory. Even completely new species have a place in this theory, and they fit right in.

      @@lucanina8221 I should clarify that LUCA is not necessarily the first organism. LUCA is just common to all _living_ organisms, LUCA does not represent a fixed organism. As lines die off (become extinct), the identity of LUCA, and it's time of existence, moves forward.

      Faith is a mistake. Faith is nothing, for faith can be faith in anything, even contradictions, thus faith cannot BE a path to truth.

      @@rstevewarmorycom You have faith that the first self-replicating molecule (the first genetic code) was formed from bits of organic matter billions of years ago don't you?? Despite the fact that no one witnessed it, no one can recreate it, and no one can even give a satisfactory explanation to how that could have happened on its own. Atheists only can claim to know "the kind of event" it must have been. I would call that faith. You have faith that space, time, matter, and energy spontaneously stretched out (unguided and uncaused) into the universe we observe today don't you?? I would say that theists and atheists alike must live by faith. It's a matter of what you choose to place your faith in. None of us witnessed the origin of the universe or the origin of life, so we must place our faith in a theory or an account that has been passed down to us or form our own theories. But it's hypocritical to mock faith.

      No, I have NO faith of any kind, for faith is nothing, faith can be faith in anything, and therefore CANNOT BE a path to truth. Instead, I accept things tentatively that are proved by evidence. The surmises of Science are reasoned and based on all the evidence, Whereas, the blabber of religionists is made-up shit out of their insanity. Faith is pretending to know things you cannot know. Faith is called faith because it's NOT KNOWLEDGE!!

      @@rstevewarmorycom I'm not being antagonistic here, so what are your beliefs about our origin or the cause of the universe?? I'm genuinely curious. The hypothesis of how the big bang occurred and the atheistic origin of life have definitely not been proven. They're all merely conjectures that they swear by as if they were proven facts. People like Dawkins desperately attempt to create a narrative of science vs God or reason vs God, as if belief in a designer makes you a fool. On the contrary, I believe it's incredibly foolish to deny the simple truth that even a child could observe. There is design everywhere you look! From quantum physics and the chemistry of life, to our solar system, to the universe! But as the Bible says, "God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty."
