      @@robertdaneski3423 Boath sides are delusional, people who blindly accept religion and reject evolution or science are just as delusional as the ones who are "sure" that "we know", or that science solved, or will eventualy solve everything. Science knows very very little, and those things that we know are just a bunch of assumptions, we don't know absolutely anything, human beings are not smart enough to answer these questions right now and it might be the case we will never answer them as long as we exsist. So pretending that we "know" is delusional however you put it. They are on the completely the same level of delusion. So yes, you're 100% right, delusion is a real thing !!

      NO unless you are blind and deaf or stupid you'd have seen dawkins playing to the crowd for sake of footage that he could lie to. He demanded concrete evidence of creation from her when there none for abiogenesis in return. With no lab evidence of either dawkins knows hes just getting footage that he can peddle. Both sides of the debate are thus Hypothesis & one of the debaters is being a charlatan marxist bully.
      Hes got a preference the same as any non believer. But the only way hes have the right to cheat a debate as he did here & in countless others in in a fascist nation.
      As unenjoyable as it seems THERE IS NO EVIDENCE / DISPROOF OF A GOD & NONE FOR THE ORIGIN OF LIFE ON EARTH BY NATURAL SELECTION
      Its not legitimate to fake talk this specific evidence vs evidence matter knowing neither have it no matter how much Dawkins wants to.

      DNA arranged itself as the earth evolved and became hospitable to new life forms.
      DNA had been around for 3 billion years while DNA only stores genetic information that wasnt always the case, we had RNA before wich did 2 things stored genetic information and processed catalytic function RNA had 2 jobs the organisms that it suported were more limited DNA only shows up after proteins take over catalytic functions allowing for much more complex life forms.
      We still have vestigial evidence of evolution in humans today, goosebumps are a good example we don't need them anymore because we have become hairless creatures and they will disappear eventually further down the line. We didn't know any of this a thousand years ago, think of all the questions we will be able to answer a thousand years from now.

      Unfortunately this conversation was not about evidence.
      Fortunately it was civil and serves to establish lines of communication upon which hopefully can blossom into a conversation about the evidence.
      It is pointless to even attempt to discuss the evidence if you can not establish lines of communication.
      For all those on both sides, myself included, who cringe at this conversation and feel their blood pressure raising I say take a deep breath and return to the conversation when you can without raging emotions as such emotions do not help either side.
      Respect how Wendy feels dismissed and science is demeaning. You have to establish communication with as little emotional charge as possible before you can even discuss evidence. This is what Dawkins is doing, learn from the master.

      @@mhughes1160 The Bible is ultimately a book of faith. To interpret it and use it as a book of science creates layers of contradictions that ignores or distorts the evidence for evolution and sets the stage for an unhealthy rivalry between the two. Every student needs to be afforded the opportunity to learn about major religions in addition to learning about hard won science. It is, therefore, up to the students themselves, to make an informed decision as to the best way the Bible should be interpreted in a world surrounded by science as anything less is simply indoctrination. The Bible has inspired Shakespeare, Martin Luther King Jr., Mahatma Gandhi and countless others as a key source of inspiration in their lives and this has benefitted our world enormously. A fundamental and literal reading of the Bible is incompatible with the modern world and science and can very often lead to extremism given that it was written at a time when women were treated as second class citizens. For example, what parts of the Old Testament laws should a person follow? Should all men follow the prohibition to refrain from cutting the corners of their beards? (See Lev 19:27) What about parts of the Old Testament that advocate death for disrespecting one's parents? (see Exodus 21:17). Should we simply ignore the parts of the Bible that we don't like? Evolution has been proven time and time again as the best possible explanation for why were are here. We are the product of millions of years of evolution. Does this rule God out of the equation entirely? Many Christians, Catholics, in particular, believe that God is working through evolution.

      She falsely tied to claim 'hostility and ad hominem' whenever Dawkins made a good point she couldn't respond to in a stunning display of pearl clutching.
      She obviously has no grasp of epistemology, empiricsm, evidence, or science for that matter.

Heaven, earth and hell. Because your attempt to have a reasonable conversation with this person is irrefutable proof of hell.

Even if the information was not true from the very start. The success of religions is based upon this fact. If the 'trainers' waited until the the child became 18 years old.. do you think the adult child would believe it? Most likely not.
