@@IssyFishyy It has nothing to do with religion. There are other social factors at play, stuff like liberalizing crime isn't in anyway connected to a collective disbelief in god. Atheists just like theists are mixed with people who hold moral values in high regard and the ones that don't.
@@vignesh1065 Yes, i know that correlation doesn’t imply causation. But the fact that there is correlation indicates something. For example, child sacrifice was considered a barbaric act once Christianity came around. And the fact that laws themselves were based off religions. Whether you believe in it or not, you can’t deny that religion does a great job (Albeit, not perfect) at stabilizing morality.
Steven, you are really stoo-pid. 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. ua-cam.com/video/JiMqzN_YSXU/v-deo.html “However improbable the origin of life might be, we know it happened on Earth because we are here.” -Richard Dawkins. We only get life from life...the law of biogenesis. We can't get anything without God.

Your mere chance mutations are absurd. ua-cam.com/video/X7h2HWcTwa4/v-deo.html Even Dawkins admits we can't know what is true because of natural selection... The God Delusion, “Since we are creatures of natural selection, we cannot totally trust our senses. Evolution only passes on traits that help a species survive, and not with preserving traits that tell a species what is actually true about life.” Oh, but Dawkins knows what's true about life...killing those who don't meet his expectations for living. dailycaller.com/2021/05/19/richard-dawkins-down-syndrome-roe-v-wade/

Evolution is a fact. People who say “it’s a theory” are missing two main points. 1) they do not understand the actual meaning of what a scientific theory. 2) Even saying it’s “a theory” doesn’t exclude the fact that evolution is a FACT. The theory explains how evolution happens.
@Monica Merino The common link among all life can be found in DNA. All creatures on Earth share the same genetic code. If we didn't all have common ancestors, all the way back to the first single-celled organisms, we might expect to then see different genetic codes in the present set of extant species. If even a single exception were to be found that couldn't be explained, we would have to re-think our theory of evolution and the origin of species.
One of the smartest men around. One of the smartest at the explanation and the easiest to understand. I have often been held in awe of this man. Cheers Richard.

@@kraokingxyz1397 Did I ever say anything against evolution. And studies have proven evolution empirically but not the origin of human( because you can't go back in time or recreate the same scenario) My problem with Dawkins is the way he preaches evolution is just wrong. And his followers have made a cult around him which makes it hard to disagree with him without getting an outburst from the toxic following.
Bill's last comment really made me laugh. It was very well said. But still, very few atheists are respectful and none condescending. The worst of all to me is Sam Harris. I prefer Dawkins and deGrasse Tyson approach to atheism. I could listen to those two for hours.
Nope. Only some shit floats. If you have enough fiber in your diet it will float. If not, it sinks like a rock. So that statement is bullshit, so to speak.

truthhurts101 ...... oh my word all you people are totally and utterly daft to believe this nonsense. We are not monkeys . Where is the evidence where is the skeletons of the evolution in motion.
@@roberthawkes2023 Evolution is a fact. The theory of evolution explains those facts. A theory in science is different from how we use it in everyday language. A scientific theory is the interpretation of observations and facts; the pinnacle of achievement in science. Correct, we are not monkeys. We share a common ancestor with them. This is just one of countless examples that creationists don't understand how evolution works. We are all that our ancestors were. We are still apes; we are still primates; we are still mammals; we are still tetrapods; we are still vertebrates; we are still animals; and we are still eukaryotes. Evolution is basically that populations of animals change over time. The most commonly known aspect of evolution is natural selection which is the idea that organisms which are most suited to their environment will survive longer, therefore have more offspring, and therefore their genes will be more prevalent in subsequent generations. This has been observed. Another definition is change in the heritable characteristics of biological populations over successive generations - or to put it another way; change in allele frequencies over time. That is a FACT, no getting around it.

@@tonysuffolk "Sure, but as he is an evolutionary biologist rather than a cosmologist, he may not be the one to ask." Then why is he saying it if he does not know? "You are making something of an assumption that it "came exactly from nothing" sic" "sic", really? Richard Dawkins sums it up in his afterword: “Even the last remaining trump card of the theologian, ‘Why is there something rather than nothing?,’ shrivels up before your eyes as you read these pages. If ‘On the Origin of Species’ was biology’s deadliest blow to supernaturalism, we may come to see ‘A Universe From Nothing’ as the equivalent from cosmology. The title means exactly what it says. And what it says is devastating.” Shove that up your sic assuming ass.
Just a small point. The term "sic" does not mean "sick". I would not suggest anything you said was sick; that would just be offensive. Sic means a direct quote, ignoring any grammatical errors. In this interview Dawkins does not say anything about the origin of the universe we live in. I'm sorry if you thought I was being rude. There is little to be gained by flinging insults. The origin of the universe is a huge puzzle and we may never manage to understand how it came into existence. It's a work in progress for Science.
@@tonysuffolk "Sic means a direct quote, ignoring any grammatical errors." I know exactly what it meant. "Sic means a direct quote, ignoring any Sic means a direct quote, ignoring any grammatical errors. What are my "grammatical errors." Dawkins believes in "exactly" nothing created the universe. Would you prefer "literally nothing"? He says that too. ua-cam.com/video/UT3dfPOdAYU/v-deo.html "In this interview Dawkins does not say anything about the origin of the universe we live in." I didn't say he did specifically. He said atheist many times and evolution many times. There's also cosmological evolution. Do you feel ashamed of what Dawkins is saying about nothing and want to change the subject to spare you the embarrassment? "The origin of the universe is a huge puzzle and we may never manage to understand how it came into existence. It's a work in progress for Science." Really? Real science says nothing does nothing.

"There is little to be gained by flinging insults." They are not insults when I prove the person deserves the title. Doubting a supernatural creation and not what I call a smart person. Saying exactly nothing and literally nothing created the universe is not what I call an intellectual. Maybe you do but not me. Again, "The origin of the universe is a huge puzzle and we may never manage to understand how it came into existence. It's a work in progress for Science." If it was such a puzzle why does Dawkins claim to know nothing created the universe? Golly jeepers you walk right into these traps. Science shows it could not have happened naturally. Resorting and hoping in science fiction is for fools. And if that is not stupid enough, to think the laws of nature just came about on their own. You people are not insane, you just chose to be dumbasses. ALL we know without a doubt proves creation HAD to be supernatural and thus done by a supernatural creator, but you want to be a dumbass along with dumbass Dawkins as he brags about how nice it is to be an atheist. I will say though, it does make me wonder if you all did evolve from a scum pond seeing the scum you all are. You don't go where the truth leads, you go where your pride leads.
Yobany depending on your definition of life it’s possible that’s not true. whether viruses are alive is up for debate. And it frankly depends on your definition, but it’s very likely that they are separate from the evolutionary tree of animals, plants and bacteria. I tend to think pockets dna/rna which propagate and change over time due to natural selection is life. But there is the argument to be made they aren’t self propagating and therefor aren’t alive.

I was already in my 40's before I lost my faith and became an atheist. Why did it take so long? Perhaps because all my family and friends, my neighbors, my countrymen (USA) are mostly religious. I was afraid to be different.
I love that man! I have a man, brain crush on him. He has thought me so much watching his videos and reading his books and even better he has helped me learn how to think and how to ask myself proper questions.
I like his barbed retorts, but that does put others off listening to what he says. Have you seen his 90s Christmas Lectures at the Royal Science Institute on Evolution? Pure science without the distraction of controversy.

After months of following his work, I finally bought The Selfish Gene and The God Delusion today. Starting with the latter, it's gonna be one hell of a reading sesh 🤣
You're doing what Dawkins wants you to do. Buy his books and line his pockets instead of think for yourself. Save your money as you can witness The Selfish Gene in any Walmart or sketchy neighborhood. Some men become baby daddies and a woman has kids from three different fathers. If the woman finds a simp male to give her a place to live and help raise the kids, the baby daddies and the mom win. That sums it up and you can save your time with the useless reading.
@@AmanExplorerBoy Ah! Richard, after all this time you have finally got around to facing the real question which you and your compatriot Atheists have been avoiding for so many years. That question is ‘’why should religion and faith not be just as much a vital part of evolution as Ducks and frogs having webbed feet to survive. “Now you can get your secretary to start typing out the next book with this your latest revelation. Yet the reason you haven’t dared to face such a truth is because, along with all the other Atheists you have known that such an admission would end much of your book signing and lucrative lecture tours forever. Placing your Atheism, and much of your claimed expertise in the ‘’SOLVED’’ BASKET.’’
I am not sure what you mean here and I mean which passage especially you refer to, but the Professor is one of the reasons of the world going more irrational every day. He is in fact so unbelievable irrational that he pretends to believe that random mutation plus natural selection does produce complex meaningful interdependent software. It cant get much much more irrational. I personally believe he his lying on this for money. Before people told him that he should need to reduce his illogicality and random ignorance he was saying that there is no God. This is not to top and he also suffers the idea that he knows waht God would do he pretends not to exist if you look at his giraffe video - which btw is a Dawkins worship video if you ask me, but again, thats subjective and you may say he has deserved it. But hey, according to his definition he is a mass child abuser and student abuser and lets just for a second imagine that the bible is right on eternal justice for criminals then Dawkins will have more pain at his hands then Hitler and Stalin together.

I _came out_ as an atheist in my late teens early twenties and had to leave my country. Well, I did not have to leave _because_ I became an atheist, but an overly religious society just did not seem appealing to me, and anyway, I really could not fit. Exactly like Dr Dawkins says, everyday you are reminded how stupidly blind people are. People who are otherwise very intelligent, but yet choose to follow some book because they think it was sent from the heavens by a mystical all-knowing character. That was depressing, and annoying. So I left. Arrivederci.
Thanks for sharing your story. My upbringing was non-religious. It isn't an achievement to be an atheist if you were never religious, so people like you are the true champions or reason in my eyes. I salute you!
When you think that everyone around you is stupid and you are the only wise person, trust me, you are probably at least as stupid as the people around you, if not more stupid. I say this from personal experience.
But why do so many people try to dogmatically force their opinions on others in the name of science which is supposed to be the free enterprise of inquiry? Why does Dawkins try to militantly promote atheism when he’s an advocate of free thought? Why does he try to say that any one who opposes him necessarily is wrong? Because his beliefs are no longer in the realm of science but in the realm of religion. A thought directed to everyone watching this video.
Why? He is lying more then most others - so why do you want more people who spread lies and abuse kids (his own judgement). This man is a professional liar and deceiver, so what do you mean with your comment? You want MORE people like him so that you can swallow more of the lies? I dont understand you!

no, it's not. there isn't one. since you say that, do you also "believe in" "souls"? that's a requirement according to all woowoo belief systems for an "afterlife". "souls" originate from when humans didn't know that air was particulate matter. they saw and felt the effects of air and noticed that you'd die if you couldn't breathe. this is also why they called dust "devils" "dust devils" - because they appeared out of nowhere, threw stuff around and then disappeared. they thought air was a "spirit"/"god" that would infuse you with a "soul" when you were born and that you'd "give up the ghost" (breathe your last) when you die and that your "soul" (hot air that you exhaled before dying) would go wherever any woowoo made-up claimed magical place a particular population wanted it to go to. the reason strong alcohol was and still is called "spirits" is because those people (who didn't know what gases are) saw that when they opened a bottle of strong alcohol, there would be alcohol vapour, didn't know what it was and called that a spirit too. meanwhile we still haven't gotten rid of any of that woo, even after learning it wasn't magic. same with humans thinking they have a "soul" now and that they'll "go somewhere when they die". no, not in the ground where you won't "rest in peace" - you're not there anymore, the chemical processes in your brain that produces you ends. instead your "soul" (hot air from your lungs) goes wherever you were brought up "believing". because they don't know that the primitive people thought that air was a spirit, nor do they care. after all, they'll just make-believe otherwise, as do those who know "their" stories aren't real but it makes them feel good because they were indoctrinated since before toddlerhood to think otherwise - "believe in" whatever your society largely repeats to you before you're even able to process information.
@@jpturner9452 It's only due to migration. Those who travelled north became paler skinned to compensate for the lack of sunlight. Humans need sunlight to begin the synthesis of cholesterol to Vitamin D. The more melanin (pigment) in the skin, the harder it is for the body to absorb the sunlight. Therefore people in areas with less sunlight have paler skin, in order to absorb more when the sun is actually out.

O’Rourke, American Journal of Science 1976, 276:51] “It cannot be denied that from a strictly philosophical standpoint geologists are here arguing in a circle. The succession of organisms has been determined by a study of their remains embedded in the rocks, and the relative ages of the rocks are determined by the remains of organisms that they contain.” Rastall, R. H., “Geology,” Encyclopedia Britannica, vol. 10 (1949) University of London. P. 168 “Paleontologists cannot operate this way. There is no way simply to look at a fossil and say how old it is unless you know the age of the rocks it comes from.”[date the fossil by the rock] Eldredge, Niles “The rocks do date the fossils, but the fossils date the rocks more accurately. Stratigraphy cannot avoid this kind of reasoning if it insists O’Rourke, J. E Evolution is based on two faulty assumptions: 1. mutations make something new and 2. natural selection makes it survive and take over the population. Evolution is a religion of death not life. “No matter how numerous they may be, mutations do not produce any kind of evolution.” Pierre-Paul Grasse, Evolution of Living Organisms 1977, p. 88 *They rearrange existing information but do not increase genetic complexity * . “In all the reading I’ve done in the life-sciences literature, I’ve never found a mutation that added information. . . . All point mutations that have been studied on the molecular level turn out to reduce the genetic information and not increase it.” Lee Spetner, Not By Chance!: Shattering the Modern Theory of Evolution (Brooklyn, N.Y.: Judaica Press, 1997), 131, 138. “Natural selection may have a stabilizing effect, but it does not promote speciation. It is not a creative force as many people have suggested.” Daniel Brooks “A downward Slope to Greater Diversity,” Science, Vol. 217, 24 September 1982, p. 1240 “Natural selection can act only on those biologic properties that already exist; it cannot create properties in order to meet adaptational needs.” Parasitology, 6th ed. Lea & Febiger, p. 516. Survival of the fittest does not explain the arrival of the fittest! By the way: “Survival of the fittest” is a tautology. Q. Why did it survive? A. Because it is the fittest. Q. How do you know it is the fittest? A. Because it survived. ^ circular reasoning if survival of the strongest or fittest was real, then humans would'nt even exist today. There are many animals in the animal kingdom much stronger and fitter than the average human. or even the strongest human. if you find a fossil in the dirt, all you know is it died. you can't prove it had any kids, and you sure can't prove it had different kids
Paul K Paul K the age of a rock is determined by measuring the relative amounts of radioactive decay products in the rock sample to their parent material (the decay products accumulate at a known rate). From this ratio and the decay rate, you can easily determine how old the rock is. This technique is called radiometric dating. So everything you said about circular reasoning of geologists is flat wrong. Sorry man, I’m not trying to be rude but you really need to know that. Also, I think you said something like evolution falsely assumes that mutations lead to changes. Evolution does not assume that. Who told you that?... Most mutations have either no effect on phenotype or a negative effect (in which case the organism is less likely to survive in its particular environment). Over time, whole populations of organisms accumulate and pass on beneficial mutations, so their phenotypes change to make them better suited to survive and reproduce in their environment. I didn’t exactly read all of your referenced quotes, but I did see one that said something like: I have not seen a mutation that adds “information” to the organism. What on earth does that mean? Finally, in regard to your argument that humans shouldn’t have even survived based on natural selection because they are way weaker than other animals on the African savannah. I’ll challenge that argument... Sure, I’ll grant that a single human is really weak compared to other animals. But what important ability do we have that none of the other animals have?.. The ability to communicate complex thoughts through language! This allowed us to build effective tools, coordinate hunts and easily bring down animals that are much bigger, stronger, and dumber than us... Hopefully that example can help you see that fitness is not simply about individual brute strength.
count69 here are the “elements” of evolution: 1. Every time DNA replicates, there is a small chance that the replication enzymes will make a mistake (i.e., mutation) and produce a new strand with a slightly different sequence. 2. Mutated DNA will either lead to 1) no effect on the organism’s likelihood to survive or reproduce in its environment (i.e., fitness), 2) a negative effect, or 3) a positive effect. 3. Mutations that lead to increased fitness are more likely to be passed down to future generations, so over time a population of organisms will accumulate mutations. Mutations that lead to decreased fitness are less likely to be passed down, so these mutations tend to not accumulate in populations over time. Mutations that don’t affect fitness have neither an increased nor decreased likelihood of being passed down to future generations. These are really the basic features of evolution. They have been observed time and time again... That is really what science is all about: finding explanations of natural phenomena that reliably explain observations. And in that regard, the theory of evolution is on par with the theory of gravity. They both explain their respective natural phenomena with high reliability.
"and the people who say evolution is not real, because we can't see it." We can't see creation happening, so I guess that means creation isn't real either.

The error in the quoran comes from the two seas that meet and have slightly different colours so to explain it they say salt and fresh water does not mix. Due to the fact they didn't understand what was going on.
“He released the two seas, meeting [side by side]; between them is a barrier [so] neither of them transgresses.” That is the quote. That is reletively specific and from 1400 years ago, that is insane (and not even mentioning the hundreds of other facts). The term transgress merely means, that, the salt water cannot take over the other density water. They meet, but Do Not transgress, exactly how the quran states. I understand it was hard for you to understand, but dont make false statements and just falsify the entire religion and quran off a statement which u did not properly understand. All the scholars say this, and if you want to make your own definition of a statement in the quran, you have the right to do so as we we live in a ‘free’ society.

@@deanmoncaster the article that you read was written to prove that sediment rich rivers and generl ocean water do indeed mix. The quran does not refer to this example as this photo took place in 2010. Alaska and modern day saudi arabia are on different parts of the map. by giving this example, you r assuming that prophet mohhammed saw something similar to that photo and made that verse. "He is the one who has set free the two kinds of water, one sweet and palatable, and the other salty and bitter. And He has made between them a barrier and a forbidding partition." Modern science has discovered that in estuaries, where fresh (sweet) and salt water meet, the situation is somewhat different from what is found in places where two seas meet. It has been discovered that what distinguishes fresh water from salt water in estuaries is a “pycnocline zone with a marked density discontinuity separating the two layers.” The human eye cannot see the difference between the two seas that meet, rather the two seas appear to us as one homogeneous sea. Likewise, the human eye cannot see the division of water in estuaries into the three kinds: fresh water, salt water, and the partition (zone of separation). heres another articlewritten a couple monthsafter than the one u linked www.geologypage.com/2017/11/atlantic-pacific-ocean-not-mix.html read what it says "It’s not two oceans meeting, its glacial melt water meeting the off shore waters of gulf of Alaska. The reason for this strange phenomenon is due to the difference of water density, temperature and salinity of the glacial melt water and off shore waters of gulf of Alaska, making it difficult to mix." this does not contradict wht the quran says because, they become part of the otherbodyof water, butdo not transgress. transgress would refer to a body of water overtaking another,which does not occur.
actually salt water and fresh water do not mix (instantly and without energy)... 2 reasons for this, first density and second osmosis (as far as i am aware of). Salt water is more dense and osmosis isent an instant process. You can try this at home by putting a fresh water ice cube in a glass of salt water, and at the end just add ever so slightly a drop or two of food die.

If a child is not curious, questioning and interested science, they are likely never to be in their life. How many extraordinary minds are we losing?

The real argument is that we see zero transitional forms. The idea that all the transitional forms died out is ridiculous. Statistically, if animals evolve over millions of years, we should end up with more transitional forms than both the beginning and ending forms combined.
All living things are transitional forms. If you're looking for a half-fish, half-lion, you'll have to use a book of fairy tales like the bible. You are a transiotnal form between your parents and your childre. The changes are slow and graduated. There are however famous fossils that clearly demonstrate this process. Archeopteryx clearly shows the link between dinosaurs and birds. It has features of both.
It is very lucky that we have fossils at all. Most bones do not fossilize. Every fossil we have is a transitional form, though. It is an intermediate stage between what came before and what came after. Also remember that fossils are only one branch of the evidence for evolution.
Thanks to Nightwish I got to know Richard Dawkins and I am ever so grateful! I am reading 'The greatest Show on Earth' now (I actually just read the lizard-part) and I have learned so much already. I too was in religious schools (christian in my case) and was never taught anything about the evolution theory. Thanks to Richard Dawkins I also got to know Christopher Hitchens and they both are and will be true heroes. By the work they did they will live on forever. In Dutch there is a song that says 'I have laid a stone in the water and its course will never be the same again'. This is what Richard Dawkins and Christopher (and many others) have done for mankind.
How nice you love being stoooo-pid too. 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.

Ah! Richard, after all this time you have finally got around to facing the real question which you and your compatriot Atheists have been avoiding for so many years. That question is ‘’why should religion and faith not be just as much a vital part of evolution as Ducks and frogs having webbed feet to survive. “Now you can get your secretary to start typing out the next book with this your latest revelation. Yet the reason you haven’t dared to face such a truth is because, along with all the other Atheists you have known that such an admission would end much of your book signing and lucrative lecture tours forever. Placing your Atheism, and much of your claimed expertise in the ‘’SOLVED’’ BASKET.’’
No, evolution is a fact but the origin of species though evolution is a theory. A theory that explains a lot of observations and can make predictions, and is furthermore supported by other branches of science. A law is just an observation. It is the “what” and theory is the “why”
Can't believe humans are still questioning logic & scene in 21st century! Makes scene though , took us beasts millions of years to get here & even question anything . Can't expect us to just forget & let go the primal survival technique of "if others believe then it must be true " !

I by no means deny evolution but still there is a reason I don't like Dawkins anymore. Dawkins is promoting evolution like religion and you just to believe in it as a fact. Sounds familiar? It's kinda like saying *Jesus died for you believe it or go to hell*.
Use the Scientific Method to prove it right now then.
@@al7422 Evolution is a fact regardless of what others believe because it's been verified through countless studies. The main difference is that evolution has empirical evidence to back it up while religion makes nonsensical claims that relies on wishful thinking, willful ignorance, and blind faith. Dawkins is simply stating facts to try and relieve people of their ignorance of an ancient book with no proof to support the claims made
@@kraokingxyz1397
Did I ever say anything against evolution. And studies have proven evolution empirically but not the origin of human( because you can't go back in time or recreate the same scenario)
My problem with Dawkins is the way he preaches evolution is just wrong. And his followers have made a cult around him which makes it hard to disagree with him without getting an outburst from the toxic following.
“Evolution” is a fairy tale and fairy tales are fictitious...... to the OPPOSITE of facts, Slappy!

Interesting that you go by "Dick."
Bill's last comment really made me laugh. It was very well said. But still, very few atheists are respectful and none condescending. The worst of all to me is Sam Harris. I prefer Dawkins and deGrasse Tyson approach to atheism. I could listen to those two for hours.
Nope. Only some shit floats. If you have enough fiber in your diet it will float. If not, it sinks like a rock. So that statement is bullshit, so to speak.
Dawkins did'nt understand... what they say to him. Two oceans dont mix. But such is Dawkins... He hear only him self. I think that Dawkins laying about this school, just to look like smart on television.
Professor Dawkins is an inspiration and a brilliant educator. Bill Maher is no slow coach either.

@Jingoist
There's a 2016 article on the Piltdown fraud, but I don't see a mention of Darwin. What are you looking at?
oh yes he is
truthhurts101 ...... oh my word all you people are totally and utterly daft to believe this nonsense. We are not monkeys . Where is the evidence where is the skeletons of the evolution in motion.
@@roberthawkes2023 Evolution is a fact. The theory of evolution explains those facts. A theory in science is different from how we use it in everyday language. A scientific theory is the interpretation of observations and facts; the pinnacle of achievement in science.
Correct, we are not monkeys. We share a common ancestor with them. This is just one of countless examples that creationists don't understand how evolution works.
We are all that our ancestors were. We are still apes; we are still primates; we are still mammals; we are still tetrapods; we are still vertebrates; we are still animals; and we are still eukaryotes.
Evolution is basically that populations of animals change over time. The most commonly known aspect of evolution is natural selection which is the idea that organisms which are most suited to their environment will survive longer, therefore have more offspring, and therefore their genes will be more prevalent in subsequent generations. This has been observed.
Another definition is change in the heritable characteristics of biological populations over successive generations - or to put it another way; change in allele frequencies over time. That is a FACT, no getting around it.
This is a man who I would love to be a friend.
Tony, if you ever do befriend him, can you ask him how the universe came exactly from nothing?
Sure, but as he is an evolutionary biologist rather than a cosmologist, he may not be the one to ask. You are making something of an assumption that it "came exactly from nothing" sic
@@tonysuffolk "Sure, but as he is an evolutionary biologist rather than a cosmologist, he may not be the one to ask."
Then why is he saying it if he does not know?
"You are making something of an assumption that it "came exactly from nothing" sic"
"sic", really?
Richard Dawkins sums it up in his afterword: “Even the last remaining trump card of the theologian, ‘Why is there something rather than nothing?,’ shrivels up before your eyes as you read these pages. If ‘On the Origin of Species’ was biology’s deadliest blow to supernaturalism, we may come to see ‘A Universe From Nothing’ as the equivalent from cosmology. The title means exactly what it says. And what it says is devastating.”
Shove that up your sic assuming ass.
Just a small point. The term "sic" does not mean "sick". I would not suggest anything you said was sick; that would just be offensive. Sic means a direct quote, ignoring any grammatical errors.
In this interview Dawkins does not say anything about the origin of the universe we live in.
I'm sorry if you thought I was being rude. There is little to be gained by flinging insults.
The origin of the universe is a huge puzzle and we may never manage to understand how it came into existence. It's a work in progress for Science.
@@tonysuffolk "Sic means a direct quote, ignoring any grammatical errors."
I know exactly what it meant.
"Sic means a direct quote, ignoring any Sic means a direct quote, ignoring any grammatical errors.
What are my "grammatical errors." Dawkins believes in "exactly" nothing created the universe. Would you prefer "literally nothing"? He says that too.
ua-cam.com/video/UT3dfPOdAYU/v-deo.html
"In this interview Dawkins does not say anything about the origin of the universe we live in."
I didn't say he did specifically. He said atheist many times and evolution many times. There's also cosmological evolution. Do you feel ashamed of what Dawkins is saying about nothing and want to change the subject to spare you the embarrassment?
"The origin of the universe is a huge puzzle and we may never manage to understand how it came into existence. It's a work in progress for Science."
Really? 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.
So you had no idea nothing does nothing. You have no idea about the 1LT and 2LT. You're saying we don't know them? We know them and have NO doubts about them. None.
"There is little to be gained by flinging insults."
They are not insults when I prove the person deserves the title. Doubting a supernatural creation and not what I call a smart person. Saying exactly nothing and literally nothing created the universe is not what I call an intellectual. Maybe you do but not me.
Again, "The origin of the universe is a huge puzzle and we may never manage to understand how it came into existence. It's a work in progress for Science."
If it was such a puzzle why does Dawkins claim to know nothing created the universe? Golly jeepers you walk right into these traps. Science shows it could not have happened naturally. Resorting and hoping in science fiction is for fools. And if that is not stupid enough, to think the laws of nature just came about on their own. You people are not insane, you just chose to be dumbasses.
ALL we know without a doubt proves creation HAD to be supernatural and thus done by a supernatural creator, but you want to be a dumbass along with dumbass Dawkins as he brags about how nice it is to be an atheist.
I will say though, it does make me wonder if you all did evolve from a scum pond seeing the scum you all are. You don't go where the truth leads, you go where your pride leads.
We do have a common ancestor with bananas! They were protozoa eukaryotic life forms.
Rocky Alfresco yep, with all living things.
Yep
Yobany yes, you can see that all animals look alike in some way or another
Yobany depending on your definition of life it’s possible that’s not true. whether viruses are alive is up for debate. And it frankly depends on your definition, but it’s very likely that they are separate from the evolutionary tree of animals, plants and bacteria. I tend to think pockets dna/rna which propagate and change over time due to natural selection is life. But there is the argument to be made they aren’t self propagating and therefor aren’t alive.

I was already in my 40's before I lost my faith and became an atheist. Why did it take so long? Perhaps because all my family and friends, my neighbors, my countrymen (USA) are mostly religious. I was afraid to be different.
it's good that you're not GAY too--are ya?
I love that man! I have a man, brain crush on him. He has thought me so much watching his videos and reading his books and even better he has helped me learn how to think and how to ask myself proper questions.
I like his barbed retorts, but that does put others off listening to what he says. Have you seen his 90s Christmas Lectures at the Royal Science Institute on Evolution? Pure science without the distraction of controversy.
6:20 - Kim Jong Il?! - that’s nothing: the Greeks awarded Nero a victory in all 1,808 events during a single Olympiad because he gave them a tax break...
After months of following his work, I finally bought The Selfish Gene and The God Delusion today. Starting with the latter, it's gonna be one hell of a reading sesh 🤣
Both are great reads, enjoy!
You're doing what Dawkins wants you to do. Buy his books and line his pockets instead of think for yourself. Save your money as you can witness The Selfish Gene in any Walmart or sketchy neighborhood. Some men become baby daddies and a woman has kids from three different fathers. If the woman finds a simp male to give her a place to live and help raise the kids, the baby daddies and the mom win. That sums it up and you can save your time with the useless reading.

Thank you Professor Dawkins. Your logic and reason is greatly appreciated in world of irrationality.
I am not sure what you mean here and I mean which passage especially you refer to, but the Professor is one of the reasons of the world going more irrational every day.
He is in fact so unbelievable irrational that he pretends to believe that random mutation plus natural selection does produce complex meaningful interdependent software. It cant get much much more irrational.
I personally believe he his lying on this for money.
Before people told him that he should need to reduce his illogicality and random ignorance he was saying that there is no God.
This is not to top and he also suffers the idea that he knows waht God would do he pretends not to exist if you look at his giraffe video - which btw is a Dawkins worship video if you ask me, but again, thats subjective and you may say he has deserved it.
But hey, according to his definition he is a mass child abuser and student abuser and lets just for a second imagine that the bible is right on eternal justice for criminals then Dawkins will have more pain at his hands then Hitler and Stalin together.
Dawkins is either foolish and irrational (some say illogical = irrational =insane) or a gifted deceiver or both.
@@marcob9124 "Dawkins will have more pain at his hands then Hitler and Stalin together." Marco - do you see how believing in religion is making you a hate-filled person.

Thx for your meaningful and consistent and hate speech free response in advance. (If you can - also spare me from empty phrases which you have not checked before using - got tons.

To be honest, I have no clue what you mean here, since I usually dont write much about what I believe to be true, so please tell me what you are referring to here. The subject cant be Evolution since it is not religious or is it?
I consider it a gullible faith which makes many people who kind of militantly believe in it - religious. Some I have met are true religious fanatics about their faith. Its shocking how they can put a good old roman catholic or believing muslime to shame. Anyway, lets see what else you got, but please dont forget to inform me what you think about my religious content in order that I may understand you.
Sadly I have not much time to learn English. So if you are unable to catch the content please move somewhere else unless you have a religious need to mission and to convert me to your faith/religion - then I will understand your desire to understand me correctly. My spanish is worse then my English. Whats your second language Nick?

Hey Nick all world view is religion or all religion is world view. You may have a definition for religion that does tell you that it involves eating fish on Friday and having a supranatural power being worshipped and I dont want to disturb you in your sleep, but I am not bying such special talk. Its like "I dont have believe in NOgod, I just lack faith in a deity. Whats that?
I give you list with premises and you make your cross (*x*) or *o* in every line and when you are done: thats your belief system. Your religion. Your faith. Your creed. Your world view. You may play with words and make yourself happy to tell yourself you are not religious. Fine. Ok.
I see it rather simple: There is ONE true religion out there since I believe that truth real exists. And if your faith is not that true one then you have a false religion. So you can call it a false faith - fine with me. Believe that you have no religion but faith - fine, be happy!
You: "The one thing I do believe is that you have 600 emails against you; "

Thats the framed world we have arrived at after 70 years public school in the west. And logic is not even taught. Is this not crazy?

Exactly like Dr Dawkins says, everyday you are reminded how stupidly blind people are.

Being wrong in science is suppose to happen, it's part of the scientific process of finding what is true.
But why do so many people try to dogmatically force their opinions on others in the name of science which is supposed to be the free enterprise of inquiry? Why does Dawkins try to militantly promote atheism when he’s an advocate of free thought? Why does he try to say that any one who opposes him necessarily is wrong? Because his beliefs are no longer in the realm of science but in the realm of religion. A thought directed to everyone watching this video.

Not knowing if there is an afterlife is both terrifying and comforting.
97 Dark 3 Light. 97 JDNA. 3 DNA. This comforts me.
no, it's not. there isn't one. since you say that, do you also "believe in" "souls"? that's a requirement according to all woowoo belief systems for an "afterlife". "souls" originate from when humans didn't know that air was particulate matter. they saw and felt the effects of air and noticed that you'd die if you couldn't breathe. this is also why they called dust "devils" "dust devils" - because they appeared out of nowhere, threw stuff around and then disappeared. they thought air was a "spirit"/"god" that would infuse you with a "soul" when you were born and that you'd "give up the ghost" (breathe your last) when you die and that your "soul" (hot air that you exhaled before dying) would go wherever any woowoo made-up claimed magical place a particular population wanted it to go to.
the reason strong alcohol was and still is called "spirits" is because those people (who didn't know what gases are) saw that when they opened a bottle of strong alcohol, there would be alcohol vapour, didn't know what it was and called that a spirit too. meanwhile we still haven't gotten rid of any of that woo, even after learning it wasn't magic. same with humans thinking they have a "soul" now and that they'll "go somewhere when they die". no, not in the ground where you won't "rest in peace" - you're not there anymore, the chemical processes in your brain that produces you ends. instead your "soul" (hot air from your lungs) goes wherever you were brought up "believing". because they don't know that the primitive people thought that air was a spirit, nor do they care. after all, they'll just make-believe otherwise, as do those who know "their" stories aren't real but it makes them feel good because they were indoctrinated since before toddlerhood to think otherwise - "believe in" whatever your society largely repeats to you before you're even able to process information.
We all are Africans. Awesome. 👍✌
Races evolved differently though. It's obvious and plain to see
@@jpturner9452 Yes.
No, we are not. Different race, or breed, if you will.
@@yahulwagoni4571 Different races and sub-races and more divisions even further.
@@jpturner9452 It's only due to migration. Those who travelled north became paler skinned to compensate for the lack of sunlight. Humans need sunlight to begin the synthesis of cholesterol to Vitamin D. The more melanin (pigment) in the skin, the harder it is for the body to absorb the sunlight. Therefore people in areas with less sunlight have paler skin, in order to absorb more when the sun is actually out.
We're all Africans..so, commiting racism is like insult all of us.

“The intelligent layman has long suspected circular reasoning in the use of rocks to date fossils and fossils to date rocks.” [ J.E. O’Rourke,
American Journal of Science 1976, 276:51]
“It cannot be denied that from a strictly philosophical standpoint geologists are here arguing in a circle. The succession of organisms has been determined by a study of their remains embedded in the rocks, and the relative ages of the rocks are determined by the remains of organisms that they contain.”
Rastall, R. H., “Geology,” Encyclopedia Britannica, vol. 10 (1949) University of London. P. 168
“Paleontologists cannot operate this way. There is no way simply to look at a fossil and say how old it is unless you know the age of the rocks it comes from.”[date the fossil by the rock]
Eldredge, Niles
“The rocks do date the fossils, but the fossils date the rocks more accurately. Stratigraphy cannot avoid this kind of reasoning if it insists
O’Rourke, J. E
Evolution is based on two faulty assumptions:
1. mutations make something new and 2. natural selection makes it survive and take over the population. Evolution is a religion of death not life.
“No matter how numerous they may be, mutations do not produce any kind of evolution.”
Pierre-Paul Grasse, Evolution of Living Organisms 1977, p. 88
*They rearrange existing information but do not increase genetic complexity
* .
“In all the reading I’ve done in the life-sciences literature, I’ve never found a mutation that added information. . . . All point mutations that have been studied on the molecular level turn out to reduce the genetic information and not increase it.”
Lee Spetner, Not By Chance!: Shattering the Modern Theory of Evolution (Brooklyn, N.Y.: Judaica Press, 1997), 131, 138.
“Natural selection may have a stabilizing effect, but it does not promote speciation. It is not a creative force as many people have suggested.”
Daniel Brooks “A downward Slope to Greater Diversity,” Science, Vol. 217, 24 September 1982, p. 1240
“Natural selection can act only on those biologic properties that already exist; it cannot create properties in order to meet adaptational needs.”
Parasitology, 6th ed. Lea & Febiger, p. 516.
Survival of the fittest does not explain the arrival of the fittest!
By the way: “Survival of the fittest” is a tautology.
Q. Why did it survive? A. Because it is the fittest.
Q. How do you know it is the fittest? A. Because it survived.
^ circular reasoning
if survival of the strongest or fittest was real, then humans would'nt even exist today. There are many animals in the animal kingdom much stronger and fitter than the average human. or even the strongest human.
if you find a fossil in the dirt, all you know is it died. you can't prove it had any kids, and you sure can't prove it had different kids
It is not proven, and it is barely a theory. 'Evolution' contains a number of elements, with varying degrees of evidence proposed to them.
Paul K Paul K the age of a rock is determined by measuring the relative amounts of radioactive decay products in the rock sample to their parent material (the decay products accumulate at a known rate). From this ratio and the decay rate, you can easily determine how old the rock is. This technique is called radiometric dating. So everything you said about circular reasoning of geologists is flat wrong. Sorry man, I’m not trying to be rude but you really need to know that.
Also, I think you said something like evolution falsely assumes that mutations lead to changes. Evolution does not assume that. Who told you that?... Most mutations have either no effect on phenotype or a negative effect (in which case the organism is less likely to survive in its particular environment). Over time, whole populations of organisms accumulate and pass on beneficial mutations, so their phenotypes change to make them better suited to survive and reproduce in their environment.
I didn’t exactly read all of your referenced quotes, but I did see one that said something like: I have not seen a mutation that adds “information” to the organism. What on earth does that mean?
Finally, in regard to your argument that humans shouldn’t have even survived based on natural selection because they are way weaker than other animals on the African savannah. I’ll challenge that argument... Sure, I’ll grant that a single human is really weak compared to other animals. But what important ability do we have that none of the other animals have?.. The ability to communicate complex thoughts through language! This allowed us to build effective tools, coordinate hunts and easily bring down animals that are much bigger, stronger, and dumber than us... Hopefully that example can help you see that fitness is not simply about individual brute strength.
count69 here are the “elements” of evolution:
1. Every time DNA replicates, there is a small chance that the replication enzymes will make a mistake (i.e., mutation) and produce a new strand with a slightly different sequence.
2. Mutated DNA will either lead to 1) no effect on the organism’s likelihood to survive or reproduce in its environment (i.e., fitness), 2) a negative effect, or 3) a positive effect.
3. Mutations that lead to increased fitness are more likely to be passed down to future generations, so over time a population of organisms will accumulate mutations. Mutations that lead to decreased fitness are less likely to be passed down, so these mutations tend to not accumulate in populations over time. Mutations that don’t affect fitness have neither an increased nor decreased likelihood of being passed down to future generations.
These are really the basic features of evolution. They have been observed time and time again... That is really what science is all about: finding explanations of natural phenomena that reliably explain observations. And in that regard, the theory of evolution is on par with the theory of gravity. They both explain their respective natural phenomena with high reliability.

The error in the quoran comes from the two seas that meet and have slightly different colours so to explain it they say salt and fresh water does not mix. Due to the fact they didn't understand what was going on.
It still doesn't refute the Quranic verse because it doesn't mention sweet and salt water
@@DotyFuzz sweet and salt? We're talking about seas not popcorn.
“He released the two seas, meeting [side by side]; between them is a barrier [so] neither of them transgresses.”
That is the quote. That is reletively specific and from 1400 years ago, that is insane (and not even mentioning the hundreds of other facts). The term transgress merely means, that, the salt water cannot take over the other density water. They meet, but Do Not transgress, exactly how the quran states.
I understand it was hard for you to understand, but dont make false statements and just falsify the entire religion and quran off a statement which u did not properly understand. All the scholars say this, and if you want to make your own definition of a statement in the quran, you have the right to do so as we we live in a ‘free’ society.
@@libansheikh7067 here is a little clue into the "skill of God" www.adn.com/science/article/mythbusting-place-where-two-oceans-meet-gulf-alaska/2013/02/05/
The barrier doesn't remain and over time the seas do mix. It's just that 1400 years ago people didn't know enough to know this.
@@deanmoncaster the article that you read was written to prove that sediment rich rivers and generl ocean water do indeed mix. The quran does not refer to this example as this photo took place in 2010. Alaska and modern day saudi arabia are on different parts of the map. by giving this example, you r assuming that prophet mohhammed saw something similar to that photo and made that verse.
"He is the one who has set free the two kinds of water, one sweet and palatable, and the other salty and bitter. And He has made between them a barrier and a forbidding partition."
Modern science has discovered that in estuaries, where fresh (sweet) and salt water meet, the situation is somewhat different from what is found in places where two seas meet. It has been discovered that what distinguishes fresh water from salt water in estuaries is a “pycnocline zone with a marked density discontinuity separating the two layers.”
The human eye cannot see the difference between the two seas that meet, rather the two seas appear to us as one homogeneous sea. Likewise, the human eye cannot see the division of water in estuaries into the three kinds: fresh water, salt water, and the partition (zone of separation).
heres another articlewritten a couple monthsafter than the one u linked www.geologypage.com/2017/11/atlantic-pacific-ocean-not-mix.html
read what it says "It’s not two oceans meeting, its glacial melt water meeting the off shore waters of gulf of Alaska. The reason for this strange phenomenon is due to the difference of water density, temperature and salinity of the glacial melt water and off shore waters of gulf of Alaska, making it difficult to mix." this does not contradict wht the quran says because, they become part of the otherbodyof water, butdo not transgress. transgress would refer to a body of water overtaking another,which does not occur.
actually salt water and fresh water do not mix (instantly and without energy)... 2 reasons for this, first density and second osmosis (as far as i am aware of). Salt water is more dense and osmosis isent an instant process. You can try this at home by putting a fresh water ice cube in a glass of salt water, and at the end just add ever so slightly a drop or two of food die.

The real argument is that we see zero transitional forms. The idea that all the transitional forms died out is ridiculous. Statistically, if animals evolve over millions of years, we should end up with more transitional forms than both the beginning and ending forms combined.
All living things are transitional forms. If you're looking for a half-fish, half-lion, you'll have to use a book of fairy tales like the bible. You are a transiotnal form between your parents and your childre. The changes are slow and graduated. There are however famous fossils that clearly demonstrate this process. Archeopteryx clearly shows the link between dinosaurs and birds. It has features of both.
It is very lucky that we have fossils at all. Most bones do not fossilize. Every fossil we have is a transitional form, though. It is an intermediate stage between what came before and what came after.
Also remember that fossils are only one branch of the evidence for evolution.
Thanks to Nightwish I got to know Richard Dawkins and I am ever so grateful! I am reading 'The greatest Show on Earth' now (I actually just read the lizard-part) and I have learned so much already.

Thanks to Richard Dawkins I also got to know Christopher Hitchens and they both are and will be true heroes. By the work they did they will live on forever.
In Dutch there is a song that says 'I have laid a stone in the water and its course will never be the same again'. This is what Richard Dawkins and Christopher (and many others) have done for mankind.

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.

Ah! Richard, after all this time you have finally got around to facing the real question which you and your compatriot Atheists have been avoiding for so many years.
