@Lunar Night what I mean is, the scientific methods, math, theories like the evolution, rhe ideologies, I'm pretty sure they'll come back the same. Not the aame words, but the same concept. Edit: Btw not one person will write the science book. It'll be a slow progress of discovery, especially with modern technology it'll be too easy.
Charbel Alam, That's what he believed,. If you put a lot of faith on that, it will lead you to atheism. Do you know what NASA says, the greatest group of scientist nowadays? They destroyed their technology, the reason why they can't go to the moon now. That's so funny!!!!, because they can't go back to the same technology again.LOL
@@joeyfeliciano9199 that's not what they say, going to the moon is useless atm. There is literally nothing there, we are prepping to go to mars. Edit: and they obviously can rebuild blueprints of any technology even better since the moon landing have they destroyed it. Which they obvioulsy didn't.
@@charbelalam2648 So you really believe they went, owkey, live with your fantasy, good luck on your delusion. Take your better destroyed technology, people don't need it.LOL Mars?? Hahaha
Dr. Dawkins was tutored by Nobel Prize-winning ethologist Nikolaas Tinbergen. Dawkins is a widely published author and receiver of numerous awards. He was ranked 20th in The Daily Telegraph's 2007 list of 100 greatest living geniuses. The chances are that before long he will be nominated for the receipt of the Nobel price in evolutionary biology (given for medicine)
Yet he won't ever state that "complex self generating forms of life have come from non-self generating forms of life", does he? I laud him for that acceptance.
@castroy64 There is a big distinction between belief and worship. And religion does not tell us anything about big questions either and is rather misleading at the "little" ones. The rake or shovel are handy tools when you are gardening, but what use is a crucifix?
@castroy64 Well, that is different for different atheists. I have no issues with fun (pagan and commercial) aspects of Christmas, I just skip the boring (Christian) part of visiting church and praying to imaginary deity. #LaughingAtcastroy64
@castroy64 Why would I do that?! I live in Czech Republic, most people here are non believers, so the Christians are in minority and they cannot be mean. #LaughingAtcastroy64
It's unbelievable how people just insist on only looking at the evidence and facts they want to look at. She doesn't have to worry about evolution because she is helping to doom us as a species.
Dawkins has a good what if routine i have to admit. But its all drama with no substance. Sorry mr dawkins to say this to you but the god of abraham always was, is, and will be. You should step away from your theorys for 6 months and look at tge studies that show the truth of the bible and tge hundreds of prophecies that were fulfilled by jesus. The probabilities of those coming true are so incredibly remote its impossible unless god himself did it! Other than this i ca n not help athiests who do not want to own up to their own self accountability before jesus. He judges all and saves those who believe in him. For such an intelligent person he glosses over the obvious facts of tge incredible universe and world we live in. Gods glory in the heavens and the earth proclaim him to be the creator. The complexities of living things in nature make this obvious. Man has yet to understand how much of nature does what it does. Hibernation of bears to ant colonies. Yes dawkins might have some response or explanation but these would be meer surface scratches to the core. Sciences understanding is actually much less than what people like dawkins want us to realize. As far as non believers who view christians to be "behind", that is a deceitful statement. The holy bible states that there is no condemnation for those who are in christ. I wont be condemned for the sins ive done on this earth because jesus intercedes for me before the father. Im promised paradise. However for the non believer it only takes 1 sin in your earthly life for jesus to condem you to hell. For the wages of sin is death per the bible. Just because you as an athiest have ertain expectations of what reality is (god vs no god) does not mean your expectations are true. That is called self righteousness and delusion. God is soverign and in control at all times. Life on earth basically glorifies him thru living and as we will eventually see our existence glorifies him in our free will and what we ultimately choose. All things work together for good in those who believe...romans 8 28.
Yikes, this blond lady needs to crack a science book ASAP, or better yet, take her to the cave paintings in the South of France painted 30000 years ago.
Do you exist? (Sure you do, I have enough evidence without any physical observations to boldly declare it so) I assume you will answer ,"Yes" So what or to whom do you credit your existence since I also assume you are not God. Like science, accept love, reason together, have faith in the true. Thanks for sharing you research although I do disagree.
Hubert Fitts why does a being have to be the one to get the ball rolling? I was "created" when my parents had sex. I assume that's how you were created too. None of this points to a god as you know it. Couldn't we be a cosmic accident?
Our starting point is where we both agree. We both agree that the comment on our screen comes from an intelligent being even though we have no material evidence for the other ones existence. We recognize these letters come from an intelligent source and not from a self-generated comment by our own computer. This is super important to the further discussion. Can intelligence be recognized without regard to the medium upon which the code is imposed? Yes, your parents were the precursor to you, but of course I was asking can you give me a genealogy/history back to the first cause of your life/existence?
@castroy64 It would be interesting to know how many atheists would throw a hissy fit strop if they didn't get their Christmas presents. They can't have it all ways.
Colin12475 I mean, technically I think they have about the same mental prowess at what they do. A scarecrow frightens birds, meanwhile, that daft bint frightens anyone with any sense at all!
Richard Dawkins, your level of patience is ridiculous. I don't understand how you can stay so calm. And i feel sorry for you, having to deal with all these people! I salute you sir
So true. I believe the way Christopher does but I could still argue the other side's point better than most of the idiots he seems to be pit against. It almost seems like the more "credentials" the thumpers have, the dumber they are.
I can never understand whether he's bashing the idea of God (or a creator of any form) or just Religion. Because they are different things. I think most of his arguments are centred round laughing at Creationists and people who believe every word the Bible says. But not everyone who believes in God, is against science. Outside our Universe, beyond our short lives, who knows. And that's something I can't abide with some atheists that they condescend people if they dare mention even the slightest chance of God existing. Personally I'm an agnostic. I'm open to the idea of their being a God, but I don't get bogged down in organised religion and all its frills. I'm just curious as to what Dawkins would say to me. No one knows for sure, I don't feel that we can know, we're not meant to know. What lies outside our universe, the meaning of life, what lies before and after life - we can never know, not during our lives on Earth anyway. Hence I refuse to belittle anyone - atheist or believer, because essentially I'd be barracking them with an argument that I don't even know is true. I think the world would be a lot happier and more peaceful if everyone was the same. Who knows we'll find out when we die, either there is something or there isn't. Only then will we know (or we won't, if there's nothing) ;)
There is a simple answer that God don't exist. There is nothing like God, during ancient times we as a species were ignorant and the things which we don't able to understand called it miracle or something Godly.That was our past why we care about something which was written 2000 or 3000 years back just WHY? Our universe is huge so huge that compare to the universe we don't even exist and still we are stuck in these kind of stuffs. I want a simple answer from those who says yes God exist, if they then show me where are they don't tell me they are everywhere because everywhere are molecules which are made of atoms and atoms are made of electron,proton and neutrons and there is no God in there.
Teach the controversy? Of course we will, we will teach for historicity purposes the idea that acquired characteristics were hereditary, the triple helix DNA theory and that Neanderthals were considered to be modern humans direct ancestors. I agree that it's as important to learn about the biggest mistakes as well as from the successful stories.
@castroy64 And they've done it in the name of atheism I'm sure lmao Don't try pull that idiotic card It's been used only by people who don't understand history and/or are trying to use projection
No. Because when he asks for evindence, it is okay. When they ask him for evidence, people just laugh. He cannot show evidence that god does not exist, but people dont care. We always support those who think alike. I do not hate him for thinking religion is false, I dislike him because he looks down on people who believes. He is blindly stuck in his own way, just as they are.
Kristianthedane Yes, he is harsh, I don't believe anyone denies that, but then again religions are often very vocal as well proclaiming that they hold the path to some salvation. Dawkins just calls them out on what's just bullshit. His views are backed with evidence via many different branches of science. I wouldn't call that blindly stuck or arrogant, it's just correct, fact, etc. people who try to oppose and silence scientific truth should be given the blunt truth. As far as "disproving god" goes, no one can. It is quite impossible to do so. However, it is the assumption of god that needs evidence. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. He's helped many people question their own insecurities about their religion, including myself. Sometimes the blunt truth is what people need to wake up, to expose silliness and bullshit where it is so often presented an unquestionable truth.
I agree that he is right, but that is not the point. He makes fun of them. It is as simple as that. When he asks a question "what proof do we have of winged horses?" The other one doesn´t answer. When he is asked "what proof do you have that what you say is correct?" he doesnt try to answer. He just makes fun of them, getting the audience to laugh, and thus turning their attention away from the actual question. When I say he is blindly stuck in his own ways, it is because he cannot accept that people believes in something else. He is like a bully, if everyone does not agree with him, he makes fun of them. He doesnt stop to think about what they say.
Kristianthedane ok I see your point. However, is not just silly when he asks Dawkins that? I mean, I don't who could take that question seriously. It exposes just how weak and desperate some of his debaters are to speak. I've seen many of his debates and I've observed he really does try to answer the question with integrity. There are times like these however that beg for laughter, "can you disprove a winged horse exists?" I mean, could you take that seriously? Yes sometimes he misplaces these mockeries, but that shouldn't undermine his overall criticism and character. As for your second point, he does accept that people believe in something else. He has stated that this is ok, but it's the imposition of beliefs on society and government that is unacceptable. His reasoned responses to arguments are simply blunt. Hard truths hit hard. If someone does not agree with scientific and mathematical evidence, I think their way of thinking should be made fun of to an extent because it is literally unreasonable. It may hurt someone's feelings but that's not really a concern when they want to argue over reality. If you still think that makes him, or me, an asshole, fine, but he's the kind of guy we need to keep imposing religion at bay, and for that I hope the gods bless him lol. If religion could still have its way, they'd kill anyone for questioning, let alone mocking their many ridiculous claims. They still do in Islamic theocracies.
But creationists never say anything worth thinking about. I did upset one once when I told it that I was happy to accept that it had not evolved, however since we know that humans did evolve that would mean that it was not human and not subject to human rights. Also I would accept its claim that it was not an animal, but that would mean that it also not subject to animal protection laws. Since it appeared to be a good copy of real evolved humans It would make an ideal test subject for medical experiments, and as it was not animal or human there could be no ethical objections to whatever experiments I wanted to conduct on it.
It's a little known fact that Prof Richard Dawkins is only 21. He looks so much older due to the mind numbing stupid conversations he has had to have with simpletons.
And funnily enough, they found that what was being described did not fit the religious narrative. For Example, there never was a global flood. Never happened.
Funny that Atheists use science against God. Do you think it makes any sense? A created universe means order, and order can be described with math. A non-created universe means disorder, but that is not the case.
Alpha Beta "A created universe means order, and order can be described with math. A non-created universe means disorder, but that is not the case." Talk about loaded assumptions. Please, explain how a non-created universe should look. And by all means please explain how this universe looks created by way of comparison to this whole cloth assumption you are making. The Christian religion intimates that the world and indeed the entire universe is a mere 6,000 years old. We know this to be false. The Christian religion's holy book also claims that the world is flat and rests upon 4 pillars and is covered by a dome. All false. What kind of creator god has no clue as to the shape and age of what he supposedly created? Built it but doesn't know what it looks like or how old it is? Is your god special needs?
it's called "the faith shield" As soon as you hear something that goes against your belief, switch your brain off and you don't have to worry about it.
F S Science is literally just a way of finding information using evidence. It isn’t a series of beliefs. If new evidence contradicts a popular scientific theory, that theory will be changed. Scientists can be wrong but science cannot be wrong. Most scientific theories have so much evidence behind them and that’s why they are treated as fact. Math and science are intertwined as well. Without math and science, you wouldn’t be able to comment on this video in the first place. Go educate yourself before you spit some bullshit like this again. You don’t even know what science is.
+Emi Other: No Emi, if by creationists you mean people who believe in the Creator God, they are not dumb... definitely not dumb. How can you look at the splendor and enormity of the Universe and not believe in God? Let me tell you who the dumb are: dumb are those who invented and built atomic weapons, which one day will be used by other dumb people to destroy the planet. That is how dumb people used the intelligence that God gave them.Don't be like them. God bless you.
God is not real, you haven't got a single demonstrable piece of evidence to prove it. If God was so good why would he allow the ability for a nuclear bomb to be created in the first place, knowing how 'sinful' man is? Why would god condone slavery, witch killing and mass murder in the Bible? Or if you're muslim condone the killings and promote the killings of the infidels. The universe can be enormous and beautiful in our eye without the invention of a magical space wizard who is a moral thug might I add to create it.
sins dont cause people to go to Hell, its rejecting Jesus as their Savior thats the problem. its like this, if someone is drowning and you throw them a life-preserver and they refuse to grab it, who caused their death? so, choose wisely
@@blackagendermuslim7198 Again. If you don't TELL an Eskimo about Jesus they will go to heaven (ignorance is apparently bliss). Therefore, it would be the Christian thing to NOT tell them. If an Eskimo was so isolated that they never heard of Jesus, but goes to hell because they never had the opportunity to accept or hear about Jesus, then it's proof of an evil supernatural being. The best thing seems to have never have talked about Jesus.
I was in religion very deeply for 15 years. It took away all my identity, believe in myself, common sense, happiness etc . I survived and wish everyone keep away from any form of religion, it is pure evil.
the blonde doesnt understand that a scientist doesnt just put a title by himself, a scientist is someone that has studied a particular subject and knows more than someone that hasn't.
+Almogàver Which is exactly what I was doing. "Whatever" - the ultimate stupid cop out expression - to admit that you are wrong without admitting it - sin cojones. Correct? So why not just say you were wrong to prove you have balls..
@@ericday4505 Can you link one video of him saying that. Dumb theist always say that when Ive never heard an Atheist clam this and even if they did I would disagree with them and Im an atheist. Atheism is just the rejection to the calm of a God. Not the calm of where life came from.
Kirby Glenday Wise up Dawkins imo is a fraud and an idiot who like David Icke should be removed its the Doctrine of Hitler,Stalin,Mao,Pol Pot who killed 200m.The Book of Genesis has scientific proof
@@andrewstillman3223 There is no difference except the time. Lots of small changes add up into big ones. We have demonstarted evolution under lab conditions and the only reason people call it micro evolution is because we have only been recording it for a few hundred years. Now imagine how much it can change with hundreds of thousands to millions. Why is this such a difficult concept?
I don't think people realise. Scientists need evidence to be credible, that's how you know its 100% true. Religous people have books written thousands of years ago by people they didn't even know. That's why modern science has more credibility.
It's really not and good scientists would never claim to know something with 100% certainty. Evidence is collected and analysed to give the best possible explanation of phenomena, but if new evidence comes to light that contradicts the previous then scientists must adjust their theories. That is the difference between science and faith - science doesn't claim to know everything and science is ready to completely change its idea of what is true, entirely based on empirical evidence, human reasoning and logic. Faith/religion claims to already know the truth and doesn't require evidence to back it up, save ancient texts and the interpretations of religious scholars (often with their own non-religious agendas).
Well said, Nelson Inn. One of science's greatest strengths is that it doesn't ever claim 100% certainty. Everything is up for revision. That being said, some scientific theories have so much overwhelming evidence that the chances of them being substantially revised are close to 0%. Ironically, one the theories with the most evidence going for it is the theory of evolution, which some religious people have decided goes against their belief system and therefore must be incorrect. They really should have picked something else to have a problem with.
Nelson Inn My point exactly but also notice how in this debate neither side is scientific so to add to your statement, I would say that it's not just religious scholars that establish faith or Religion, it's also Directed Undisputable Scientists that establish Faith and Religion... One believes in this Holy Ghost the other believes in these X-Men with genetically modified DNA to give them powers and strength over others...have you ever seen a spasticated (retarded) person??? Yeah...that's what genetic mutations look like...and there's all kinds of variations of them...all proving to be disadvantageous for survival...now if you take the super mouse that was genetically modified and became stronger, you'd be proving that without specific guidance by some supreme being, natural genetic mutations are disadvantageous.
People like Dawkins are not “wasting their time.” Their arguments have really improved my ability to think rationally. I used to be religious. If I had never stumbled upon people like Dawkins, I would probably still be religious.
Our Community Standards Thinking also results in innovation and invention, and can make real stuff up, right? Like the phone you're probably using to connect to the internet so you can post stupid, ignorant comments? Or did you think god created wifi?
Richard Dawkins defense mild pedophilia he also suggest that we should get out of that taboo of eating human flesh. .... I'll say to you you better find better role models whether you believe in God or not.
I was a Muslim convert for 4 years. Last year, I remember sitting in a halaqaa (like a Bible study), and hearing someone speak about the flying horse stuff: Muhammad flying to heaven on a winged horse. I looked around, and everyone had a dead serious face. I was thinking "You all BELIEVE in the stupid stuff?" When you are a convert, you learn something new everyday in Islam. This was another nail in the coffin, beside a lot of stuff that made me deconvert. -From Catholic (8 years)-> Christian (4 years) -> Muslim (4 years)-> Agnostic (3 months)... Now Atheist for about 1 month now. :-)
Dawkins has on many occasions established, as have others including Mark Twain, who said that "Faith is believing something that you know aint true". As such, faith is fundamentally anti-science.
Rory Most of the money in the military buget goes to the Air Force and its experiments and research. Most of what you use in everyday life was developed in the military.
Rory well let's not EVER let atheists get in charge again of a military. We're still having to deal with that fat fuck in North Korea and we damned sure don't need another Mao or Stalin. Atheism is FAR more oppressive than any religion, we simply cannot co exist you MUST be put to the sword. It's either you or us
Mohammad split the moon in two?. what's interesting and still being debated is the moon's crust is actually two different crusts. one half is thicker than the other half. a very unique thing indeed. The moon literally is two halves.
"Ad hominin" "Mental factories" My favorite tactic of creationists is admitting that microevolution is real, but denying macroevolution and saying there's no evidence of it. What they don't understand is they are the exact same mechanism over different periods of time. If you admit to the one, you automatically concede the other must be true. I think some of them actually think it happens suddenly. Like one day a Spider Monkey just spit a human baby out it's vagina or something. They don't understand that "microevolution" over time will lead to individuals who couldn't reproduce with their ancestors from tens of thousands of generations ago because the DNA is too different.
The blonde is Wendy Wright and the entire one hour interview is available on UA-cam in case you’re wanting to subject yourself to it. I was ready to hurl myself off of a bridge after about five minutes of listening to her, so proceed with caution.
(In a later Conversation on stage about the incident) Host:"Did you enjoy that conversation [with Wendy Wright]?" Dawins (with no hesitation):"No, I did not".
I love the way she's trying to make a valid scientific argument with some weight but it all boils down to her saying there's a lack of fossils thus obviously a giant bearded man on a cloud made it all.
Man,don't debate intellectual and intelligent dishonest people as the saying goes" they will bring you down to the same level as they are in and beat you with experience".
I would love to debate her. She is clearly non-threatening, patient and warm. Her laughing can be interpreted as mocking, but it can also lessen the weight of the conversation, bring ease, and lowering our emotional defenses. People say her eyes are hollow but they're shining. Her words are soft and kind. Yes she is condescending to some degree but for creationists this is probably the best you'll get. Even if she doesn't understand the atheistic argument or refuses to understand it she is not engaging in hate, ad-hominem attacks or the like.
She never put a foot in a museum. The patience he has. I would have lost it and punched her in the face. There is absolutely no discussion possible with her because she's not even listening.
Aditya S K According to her fossils are not even relevant evidence. Haha, she must like actually mentally retarded. Like her stare feels like a stare a schizophrenic serial killer would have. She’s just denying everything that goes against her limited field of view and understanding Eksdee Dude
The wings on the horse come from the imagination of uneducated primitive people, the same types who listen to talking snakes and donkeys, or watch someone walk on water.
+Wendy Blue: Very well said Wendy... about uneducated primitive people.... However, there are educated modern people who believe that the snake talked to Eve in the garden and told her a lie, and Balaam donkey spoke to him and saved his life, for the Angel of the Lord was about to kill him. And not only that, but I also believe that the snake has grown into a dragon and still lies his head off in the middle of every social interaction, even today. I am one of those modern people, and I also believe that the Word of God is the How-to Book that the Lord has given us to order our social and spiritual lives in accord with His Will, for our benefit. God bless you.
Education, history and science contradict fairy tales or the existence of mythical gods or monsters, especially when it comes from 1800 year old books written by people who thought that the earth was flat, the sun revolved around the earth and America, Australia, Japan did not exist. Those who believe these myths are, by definition, uneducated.
I'm pretty sure that you could get a horse to fly if one were to strap on a jet-engine ; strictly speaking even wings wouldn't be required. Talking snakes, flying donkeys, crooked fucking zebras - can we not do a Dr.D. and assert that this is absurd? Notice please how Momo pounces on this, turns it into a philosophical question, then shamelessly shifts the burden of proof.
@@wino0000006 we(human beings) created god because most of us are weak from our thinking,we need someone at our back to support in whom we have faith. So god Is only a hope which was created by us.
I admire Richard Dawkins patience and serenity. I know I couldn't put up with such deluded fanatics, even for a single debate, before my temper would have got the better of me, but he even does it more or less on a daily basis. Just admirable.
what a childish claim you made wakaka....its remind me of mr. dawkin's story in this full debate(part not shown..of course..lol), about thousands of galaxies,saying it as it was a provable fact...such fantasy he believe in lol...abba cadabra baby
Princess Fluffybottom I hadn’t seen that other guy had posted the same thing, but honestly this is such a cheap joke it doesn’t surprise me that I’m like the 10th guy to make it lol.
If the "almighty God appeared on the earth" I would shit myself, drop to my knees and beg his/her forgiveness for not believing. However, as this is never going to happen, EVER, I'm quite safe
Lol fuck that. If God actually exists and he comes down to earth is run the other way. A being that has small, innocent children die slowly and savagely does not deserve any respect.
Yeah, run like fuck seems a safer option when dealing with someone who murdered every single person on the p[anet even the little newborn babies because he didn't like what he had created. He's GOD ffs how the hell could he fuck up that bad that he ended up hating everybody but Noah and his family...........but remember - he loves us
Well, maybe God has Borderline Personality Disorder and therefore loves us but is so afraid that we are going to stop loving him back (and abandon him) that he also hates and destroys us...
@@kamtarbol well people that are threatened or made a fool off usually resort to physical violence. it proves that many religious people know deep down that its all nonsense.
Bob Bob actually it’s the other way around. Many so called atheists know deep down that there’s a god. They call upon him when they’re totally overwhelmed in life and are in hardships.
@@kamtarbol there is no god... see the difference between atheists and religious people is that. Atheists are usually open to have their minds changed. If I found out tomorrow that there is a god then I'd be like cool.. but if it was proven that there is no god.. You would not be fine with that. You see I believe many religious people try to avoid critical thinking when it comes to a creator. If they have been brought up strongly believing and having that naive comfort. Then it's very hard to suddenly drop that. It's why so many people make barriers and walls around them. Life is simpler that way, no need for deep scientific and highly complex thoughts. Some people like their universe small some like it big and that's fine. Maybe they are scared of death? Alot of people go to god because the humans species is very narssastic in nature.. how can I possibly stop existing? That's not as good as enternal paradise "heaven". God is appealing in times of struggle you can fool yourself that by praying maybe he will help. All these things bring comfort, security. The harsh reality of the universe may seem scary to most. I find it the opposite. We can trace ourselves to stars that exploded, they formed planets and etc. We always go back to the big bang... what came before? How can something come from nothing it's completely illogical... I agree. But does that make it not possible? We are using human logic for that Our brains are not made for that complicated stuff. They are made for running away from tigers on a savannah. Some us are capable of doing complicated physics but most of us can't. You cant look at the creation of the universe with a logical mindset. We have to use tools of mathematics etc to take away the handicap. We have evolved very specifically on a planet in the milky way. God is a human creation that was used to explain stuff. Greek gods and roman gods are prime examples. We no longer need them because we know that it's all bullshit. So chances are you're god is bullshit too. I had to write this quickly so feel free to point out any mistakes I made logically etc.
"Scientists are now claiming that they're the only ones that can speak on this issue" -- Albert Einstein was completely unknown to the scientific community when he developed his famous E = MC squared equation. So to claim that only scientists can comment on this is completely absurd.
Ricahrd P'Brien Ricahrd P'Brien I believe you may have "got the wrong end of the stick" as they say. I completely agree with your reply. I was quoting Wendy Wright and criticising the fact that she said "Scientists now believe that they're the only ones who can comment on this". I believe this to be completely untrue and that's what I was attempting to show when I talked about Einstein. Again, I completely agree with the contents of your reply.
In all fairness religion does try to act as if it itself is the supreme and final authority on morality and conduct. I wish people wouldn't be so childish sometimes, but I do it too. No matter what is said in this conversation I think it all ends up absurd. Science is a good thing and so is faith. Science is not in a fight with God. Not even science can beat It. God is like the energy that science refers to in its laws. It cannot be Created. It cannot be Destroyed. Who made God? I guess in some way we humans did, but what we used to describe It is what we refer to as religion. We gave this Great Cosmic Reality over to a simplistic human definition, complete with petty human characteristics. We even refer to It in masculine terms. God has no need for gender. I have to assume sometimes to grow. I see no problem with this. I welcome debunkers. I believe science can agree that it has never been observed in nature an event in which life has come to bear without life assisting it. I believe there are some theories associated with evolution as to how this can happen, but it requires faith to believe this. Science says faith is illogical so according to what we observe in reality, whatever brought the universe into existence could very well have been sentient. Yes , questionable is the fantastic flying horse of islam, science has other dimensions and infinite parallel universes though that allow room for such absurdity. Each system can easily be corrupted. The real battle being fought is between liars. God made the Laws that govern matter/energy. Men only discover them. That does not mean religion is not ridiculous. It is. Look at the condition of our species because of it - not God but religion.

The term scientist is being misconstrued to mean "someone with a degree in a scientific field". You don't need a degree to be a scientist; you just need to use the sciences to discover the world. So yes, only scientists can speak on this issue. If you don't value scientific observation and testing above theology, then you are not a scientist. You are not using your mind to pursue truth.
Yeah, let say he is wrong. And there is no god at the end and everything was a fake idea. I want to know what is the consequence for the guy who believed in god. I am sure that he will just become dirt at the end and he won't feel anything anymore because he has become one with the dirt. But now let's turn it around to Richard, what would be the consequence if god turns out to be real. It's funny how people easily throw the idea of God out of the window without taking a second thought. If your argument is that if you believe in god, you will miss out on things. I want to know what I will miss out on?? PLs, enlighten me. I dare you.
@@sm3717 That's Pascal's wager and it never proved the existence of God,. I don't mind is you are a fool, I mind if you are an unoriginal fool. What will you miss on? You will miss out on not having to live your life being ruled by an invisible tyrant who damns you for not obeying him exactly as he commands
@@gabrielmaul At the end of the day. I live a normal life like anyone. Have a family, friends, Job, vacation etc. Anything normal activity that doesn't harm me or anyone around me. what are you talking about when you mean living a life I want. I get to do what I want. unless you are referring to drinking alcohol, or have sexual immorality or gamble. well, let's take look, shall we, all of that get you nowhere but pain and suffering. u get killed by these things. God doesn't restrict you from anything good. He restrict you from the bad. So that you may live a happier life. Your argument seems like all you want to do is be the fool u clam to be. You want to do anything you want. It doesn't matter if it will hurt you or hurt others around you. Amature,
@@sm3717 HE RESTRICTST YOU! See, you are restricted from doing any you want or may not want to do by an imaginary ruler, how pathetic is that. You HAVE to kneel every day to an imaginary being, you HAVE to behave a certain way so that you don't get punished in the end. You buddy, are a pathetic coward who bow down to superstition, you are just another sheep who is scared about what might be. That is a pathetic way to live. You're lucky your imaginary friend was invented a long time ago, or he might have forbidden the use of UA-cam or other social media. You are ludicrous 😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@gabrielmaul Again, Kneeling to the almighty is me showing gratitude to him for what I have. If I notice a higher power that created and controls the universe. I rather keel to it than go against it like a moron. God has restricted me from doing anything bad that could be harmful to me or to anyone else. If you say I want to live a life I want, I could, but I will end up hurting me or anyone else around me if I do it for my pleasures and desires, for example desires to gamble, I gamble day and night only to lose everything I have at the end. Or do drugs only to destroy my life. Where is the benefit of that?? where is the benefit of drinking alcohol or sexual immortality? these are a temporary benefit with long term consequences. Which is religion is prohibited for the fact it has long term consequences. I am grateful that God seems to have the best interest in me than my tempory pleasures and desires. The reason I keel every day. Another example. let say, I am a big mafia. I have control over the police and the government and I want to do drugs and rape people using that power. However, nothing is restricting me from doing it according to what you say. What should I be afraid of? The police, or the government or the law. I am in control of them. Guess what, I can do whatever I want without fearing consequence. According to you I get to whatever I want So now tell me why I should be good to people? I am a big mafia, I have control over the government and the police, what should I fear now?? According to you, what should I have to fear so that I can stop killing or selling drugs to people? pls let me know what stops me from doing what I want. be more specific this time???

+Akshay Kumar Horray for somebody who questions and critiques instead of just believing what scientific authorities tell us to believe. Wendy Wright is right to not accept the status quo. Think outside of the box sometimes.
The scientific "authorities" aren't telling us to believe ANYTHING without evidence. They are telling us their findings from years and years of rigorous research and INDEPENDENT peer review. If you don't understand the significance and effectiveness of the scientific process, please educate yourself before you applaud someone you think is "critiquing" science (hint: she's not). Scientific progress DEPENDS on attempting to falsify hypothesis. Wendy Wright is not thinking outside the box, she is refusing to step outside her creationist bubble and take an honest look at the mountains of evidence. She keeps saying "there is no evidence! there is no evidence!" , and yet when Dawkins offers up evidence she refuses to stop plugging her ears like a child and actually listen for a moment. No one has to take Dawkins' word for it though; investigate it thoroughly for yourself, be honest and unafraid of where the evidence might lead you. Kristen Michelle
+CampingforCool41 You said that the authorities in science have evidence but have you checked how detailed it is? Have you read any of the peer reviewed papers to see how much is really known and what is assumed, what the facts are? Because I have and it is the peer reviewed literature that is the most condemning to Evolutionary Theory. For instance, read this paper which has found the genetic coding system fits all criteria to be considered an intelligent signal, irreducible to natural origin. Read the abstract which is non-technical and easy to understand. So here is an example.*The WOW Signal of the Terrestrial Genetic Code*www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0019103513000791
Kristen Michelle I believe I said the scientific process was *effective* not flawless. This quote from biologist PZ Myers in his debunking of this article (which for some reason always seems to make creationists salivate) sums this up nicely: "I don’t care what journal it was published in. The prestige of a journal does not confer infallibility, and even the best of journals will occasionally publish crap. They will be especially likely to publish garbage when they stretch beyond the expertise of their reviewers. Icarus is a journal of planetary science that publishes primarily on astronomy and geology. This particular paper conveniently falls between the cracks - it’s a weird paper full of trivial arithmetical manipulations for arcane purposes with no scientific justification for any of its procedures." Here is the link: freethoughtblogs.com/pharyngula/2013/03/15/the-genetic-code-is-not-a-synonym-for-the-bible-code/#comments Hell, even IF the article was credible and proved that there was some sort of "intelligent signature" in the genetic code, it would still do nothing to contradict the fact that species evolve, nor would it support the notion of a Christian god. "Because I have and it is the peer reviewed literature that is the most condemning to Evolutionary Theory." Let me guess, you cruise some creationist websites that link you to a few articles that have slipped into otherwise careful journals, all the while ignoring the thousands upon thousands of articles whose studies and experiments concur with the Theory of Evolution. In fact, in order for a hypothesis to become a scientific theory (such as the Theory of Gravity or Cell Theory) it MUST be a "well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world that is acquired through the scientific method and repeatedly tested and confirmed through observation and experimentation." "You said that the authorities in science have evidence but have you checked how detailed it is?" Again, what is with this obsession with the idea of "authorities"? Scientists aren't dictators, if you haven't noticed. Yeah, there are people who know a lot about their particular area of study, and no, I don't have the time or interest to verify for myself every single minutia of the conclusions they draw from a lifetime of study. I have, however, compared between the "evidence" of creationism and the evidence of the Theory of Evolution plenty enough to know which aligns most with reality.

You don't have to deal with the inevitability of death (because they say there's an afterlife) and the fact that life is senseless, so it's pretty neat imo
Godoat the goat. As far as I'm concerned, I'm certainly not afraid of death, the events leading to my death may be frightening, but once I'm dead, that's it, it's lights out, gone, there's nothing more, and that's all folks. My body will be turned to ashes, and I will no longer exist. Who are "they", and why would you believe what they say? Why is life senseless?
Creationsists = there is no evidence of any "transitional fossils", case closed on evolution. Its like they think there should be millions of people back then and therefore millions of fossil evidence showing the transitional state of humans to current day specimens. How ignorant is that? We're talking thousand and thousands of years ago, before the first civilization and they expect there to be "transitional fossils" aplenty? First of all, evolution is mutation, and mutation is extremely rare which is why evolution is so goddamn slow (on average, unless theres an extreme amount of stress on the specimen). If you understand what a mutation is, then you're not going to find all sorts of transitional fossil states. The mutation could be something unseen by fossils. Or the mutation can be a sudden drastic change that it would look like it was always there and that the thing that came before it is classified as something else entirely. I don't want to go on rambling but goddamn it I hate stupidity.

Richard Dawkins should win a Nobel prize of patience
Dr. Dawkins was tutored by Nobel Prize-winning ethologist Nikolaas Tinbergen. Dawkins is a widely published author and receiver of numerous awards. He was ranked 20th in The Daily Telegraph's 2007 list of 100 greatest living geniuses. The chances are that before long he will be nominated for the receipt of the Nobel price in evolutionary biology (given for medicine)
Yes, but that's not the Nobel Prize of Patience. Because his patience is GODLY(pun fucking intended) with dealing with these idiots.
Yet he won't ever state that "complex self generating forms of life have come from non-self generating forms of life", does he? I laud him for that acceptance.

@castroy64 There is a big distinction between belief and worship. And religion does not tell us anything about big questions either and is rather misleading at the "little" ones. The rake or shovel are handy tools when you are gardening, but what use is a crucifix?

An ex Parrot I hate listening to that girl talk oh my god.
Dawkins has a good what if routine i have to admit. But its all drama with no substance. Sorry mr dawkins to say this to you but the god of abraham always was, is, and will be. You should step away from your theorys for 6 months and look at tge studies that show the truth of the bible and tge hundreds of prophecies that were fulfilled by jesus. The probabilities of those coming true are so incredibly remote its impossible unless god himself did it! Other than this i ca n not help athiests who do not want to own up to their own self accountability before jesus. He judges all and saves those who believe in him. For such an intelligent person he glosses over the obvious facts of tge incredible universe and world we live in. Gods glory in the heavens and the earth proclaim him to be the creator. The complexities of living things in nature make this obvious. Man has yet to understand how much of nature does what it does. Hibernation of bears to ant colonies. Yes dawkins might have some response or explanation but these would be meer surface scratches to the core. Sciences understanding is actually much less than what people like dawkins want us to realize. As far as non believers who view christians to be "behind", that is a deceitful statement. The holy bible states that there is no condemnation for those who are in christ. I wont be condemned for the sins ive done on this earth because jesus intercedes for me before the father. Im promised paradise. However for the non believer it only takes 1 sin in your earthly life for jesus to condem you to hell. For the wages of sin is death per the bible. Just because you as an athiest have ertain expectations of what reality is (god vs no god) does not mean your expectations are true. That is called self righteousness and delusion. God is soverign and in control at all times. Life on earth basically glorifies him thru living and as we will eventually see our existence glorifies him in our free will and what we ultimately choose. All things work together for good in those who believe...romans 8 28.

Hubert Fitts I don't think the "creator" exists.
Do you exist? (Sure you do, I have enough evidence without any physical observations to boldly declare it so) I assume you will answer ,"Yes" So what or to whom do you credit your existence since I also assume you are not God. Like science, accept love, reason together, have faith in the true.
Thanks for sharing you research although I do disagree.
Hubert Fitts why does a being have to be the one to get the ball rolling? I was "created" when my parents had sex. I assume that's how you were created too. None of this points to a god as you know it. Couldn't we be a cosmic accident?
Our starting point is where we both agree. We both agree that the comment on our screen comes from an intelligent being even though we have no material evidence for the other ones existence. We recognize these letters come from an intelligent source and not from a self-generated comment by our own computer. This is super important to the further discussion. Can intelligence be recognized without regard to the medium upon which the code is imposed?
Yes, your parents were the precursor to you, but of course I was asking can you give me a genealogy/history back to the first cause of your life/existence?

+Sebastian Gulbransen couldn't sayed it any better. Those people finished stoped developing at the age of 11.
Yeah, I tend to say "you're a freakin' idiot" and leave the conversation. I don't know how he remains so patient.
So true. I believe the way Christopher does but I could still argue the other side's point better than most of the idiots he seems to be pit against. It almost seems like the more "credentials" the thumpers have, the dumber they are.
I can never understand whether he's bashing the idea of God (or a creator of any form) or just Religion. Because they are different things. I think most of his arguments are centred round laughing at Creationists and people who believe every word the Bible says. But not everyone who believes in God, is against science. Outside our Universe, beyond our short lives, who knows. And that's something I can't abide with some atheists that they condescend people if they dare mention even the slightest chance of God existing. Personally I'm an agnostic. I'm open to the idea of their being a God, but I don't get bogged down in organised religion and all its frills. I'm just curious as to what Dawkins would say to me. No one knows for sure, I don't feel that we can know, we're not meant to know. What lies outside our universe, the meaning of life, what lies before and after life - we can never know, not during our lives on Earth anyway.
Hence I refuse to belittle anyone - atheist or believer, because essentially I'd be barracking them with an argument that I don't even know is true. I think the world would be a lot happier and more peaceful if everyone was the same. Who knows we'll find out when we die, either there is something or there isn't. Only then will we know (or we won't, if there's nothing) ;)
There is a simple answer that God don't exist. There is nothing like God, during ancient times we as a species were ignorant and the things which we don't able to understand called it miracle or something Godly.That was our past why we care about something which was written 2000 or 3000 years back just WHY? Our universe is huge so huge that compare to the universe we don't even exist and still we are stuck in these kind of stuffs. I want a simple answer from those who says yes God exist, if they then show me where are they don't tell me they are everywhere because everywhere are molecules which are made of atoms and atoms are made of electron,proton and neutrons and there is no God in there.

Why do people hate Richard Dawkins again? Because he makes calls out religious bullshit? Btw that second video lady makes me cringe so hard.
No. Because when he asks for evindence, it is okay. When they ask him for evidence, people just laugh. He cannot show evidence that god does not exist, but people dont care. We always support those who think alike. I do not hate him for thinking religion is false, I dislike him because he looks down on people who believes. He is blindly stuck in his own way, just as they are.
Kristianthedane Yes, he is harsh, I don't believe anyone denies that, but then again religions are often very vocal as well proclaiming that they hold the path to some salvation. Dawkins just calls them out on what's just bullshit. His views are backed with evidence via many different branches of science. I wouldn't call that blindly stuck or arrogant, it's just correct, fact, etc. people who try to oppose and silence scientific truth should be given the blunt truth.
As far as "disproving god" goes, no one can. It is quite impossible to do so. However, it is the assumption of god that needs evidence. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
He's helped many people question their own insecurities about their religion, including myself. Sometimes the blunt truth is what people need to wake up, to expose silliness and bullshit where it is so often presented an unquestionable truth.
I agree that he is right, but that is not the point. He makes fun of them. It is as simple as that. When he asks a question "what proof do we have of winged horses?" The other one doesn´t answer. When he is asked "what proof do you have that what you say is correct?" he doesnt try to answer. He just makes fun of them, getting the audience to laugh, and thus turning their attention away from the actual question.
When I say he is blindly stuck in his own ways, it is because he cannot accept that people believes in something else. He is like a bully, if everyone does not agree with him, he makes fun of them. He doesnt stop to think about what they say.
Kristianthedane ok I see your point. However, is not just silly when he asks Dawkins that? I mean, I don't who could take that question seriously. It exposes just how weak and desperate some of his debaters are to speak. I've seen many of his debates and I've observed he really does try to answer the question with integrity. There are times like these however that beg for laughter, "can you disprove a winged horse exists?" I mean, could you take that seriously? Yes sometimes he misplaces these mockeries, but that shouldn't undermine his overall criticism and character.
As for your second point, he does accept that people believe in something else. He has stated that this is ok, but it's the imposition of beliefs on society and government that is unacceptable. His reasoned responses to arguments are simply blunt. Hard truths hit hard. If someone does not agree with scientific and mathematical evidence, I think their way of thinking should be made fun of to an extent because it is literally unreasonable. It may hurt someone's feelings but that's not really a concern when they want to argue over reality. If you still think that makes him, or me, an asshole, fine, but he's the kind of guy we need to keep imposing religion at bay, and for that I hope the gods bless him lol. If religion could still have its way, they'd kill anyone for questioning, let alone mocking their many ridiculous claims. They still do in Islamic theocracies.
But creationists never say anything worth thinking about.
I did upset one once when I told it that I was happy to accept that it had not evolved, however since we know that humans did evolve that would mean that it was not human and not subject to human rights. Also I would accept its claim that it was not an animal, but that would mean that it also not subject to animal protection laws.
Since it appeared to be a good copy of real evolved humans It would make an ideal test subject for medical experiments, and as it was not animal or human there could be no ethical objections to whatever experiments I wanted to conduct on it.

Talk about loaded assumptions. Please, explain how a non-created universe should look. And by all means please explain how this universe looks created by way of comparison to this whole cloth assumption you are making.
The Christian religion intimates that the world and indeed the entire universe is a mere 6,000 years old. We know this to be false.
The Christian religion's holy book also claims that the world is flat and rests upon 4 pillars and is covered by a dome. All false.

*An actual religion*
@F S she compared science to a religion as if it's automatically a bad thing
@F S she also wants to see the evidence
@F S and yeah, in what aspect is science like a religion?
F S Science is literally just a way of finding information using evidence. It isn’t a series of beliefs. If new evidence contradicts a popular scientific theory, that theory will be changed. Scientists can be wrong but science cannot be wrong. Most scientific theories have so much evidence behind them and that’s why they are treated as fact. Math and science are intertwined as well. Without math and science, you wouldn’t be able to comment on this video in the first place. Go educate yourself before you spit some bullshit like this again. You don’t even know what science is.
@F S you say religion is science? Lol

+Emi Other: No Emi, if by creationists you mean people who believe in the Creator God, they are not dumb... definitely not dumb. How can you look at the splendor and enormity of the Universe and not believe in God? Let me tell you who the dumb are: dumb are those who invented and built atomic weapons, which one day will be used by other dumb people to destroy the planet. That is how dumb people used the intelligence that God gave them.Don't be like them. God bless you.
Beautiful simplicity. Blessings
God is not real, you haven't got a single demonstrable piece of evidence to prove it. If God was so good why would he allow the ability for a nuclear bomb to be created in the first place, knowing how 'sinful' man is? Why would god condone slavery, witch killing and mass murder in the Bible? Or if you're muslim condone the killings and promote the killings of the infidels. The universe can be enormous and beautiful in our eye without the invention of a magical space wizard who is a moral thug might I add to create it.

@@andrewstillman3223 There is no difference except the time. Lots of small changes add up into big ones. We have demonstarted evolution under lab conditions and the only reason people call it micro evolution is because we have only been recording it for a few hundred years. Now imagine how much it can change with hundreds of thousands to millions. Why is this such a difficult concept?
@Lloyd Zed you are correct. They believe that rocks and rain made primordial soup and that is your grandparents...Notice I said believe.
I don't think people realise.
Scientists need evidence to be credible, that's how you know its 100% true.
Religous people have books written thousands of years ago by people they didn't even know.
That's why modern science has more credibility.
Nothing is 100% true. That is unscientific
I'm not getting into deep conversation on how we know things are 100% true, thats just the definition of scientific fact.
It's really not and good scientists would never claim to know something with 100% certainty. Evidence is collected and analysed to give the best possible explanation of phenomena, but if new evidence comes to light that contradicts the previous then scientists must adjust their theories. That is the difference between science and faith - science doesn't claim to know everything and science is ready to completely change its idea of what is true, entirely based on empirical evidence, human reasoning and logic. Faith/religion claims to already know the truth and doesn't require evidence to back it up, save ancient texts and the interpretations of religious scholars (often with their own non-religious agendas).
Well said, Nelson Inn. One of science's greatest strengths is that it doesn't ever claim 100% certainty. Everything is up for revision. That being said, some scientific theories have so much overwhelming evidence that the chances of them being substantially revised are close to 0%. Ironically, one the theories with the most evidence going for it is the theory of evolution, which some religious people have decided goes against their belief system and therefore must be incorrect. They really should have picked something else to have a problem with.
Nelson Inn
My point exactly but also notice how in this debate neither side is scientific so to add to your statement, I would say that it's not just religious scholars that establish faith or Religion, it's also Directed Undisputable Scientists that establish Faith and Religion... One believes in this Holy Ghost the other believes in these X-Men with genetically modified DNA to give them powers and strength over others...have you ever seen a spasticated (retarded) person??? Yeah...that's what genetic mutations look like...and there's all kinds of variations of them...all proving to be disadvantageous for survival...now if you take the super mouse that was genetically modified and became stronger, you'd be proving that without specific guidance by some supreme being, natural genetic mutations are disadvantageous.

"Ad hominin"
"Mental factories"
My favorite tactic of creationists is admitting that microevolution is real, but denying macroevolution and saying there's no evidence of it. What they don't understand is they are the exact same mechanism over different periods of time. If you admit to the one, you automatically concede the other must be true.
I think some of them actually think it happens suddenly. Like one day a Spider Monkey just spit a human baby out it's vagina or something. They don't understand that "microevolution" over time will lead to individuals who couldn't reproduce with their ancestors from tens of thousands of generations ago because the DNA is too different.

The wings on the horse come from the imagination of uneducated primitive people, the same types who listen to talking snakes and donkeys, or watch someone walk on water.
+Wendy Blue: Very well said Wendy... about uneducated primitive people.... However, there are educated modern people who believe that the snake talked to Eve in the garden and told her a lie, and Balaam donkey spoke to him and saved his life, for the Angel of the Lord was about to kill him. And not only that, but I also believe that the snake has grown into a dragon and still lies his head off in the middle of every social interaction, even today. I am one of those modern people, and I also believe that the Word of God is the How-to Book that the Lord has given us to order our social and spiritual lives in accord with His Will, for our benefit.

@@kamtarbol there is no god... see the difference between atheists and religious people is that. Atheists are usually open to have their minds changed. If I found out tomorrow that there is a god then I'd be like cool.. but if it was proven that there is no god.. You would not be fine with that. You see I believe many religious people try to avoid critical thinking when it comes to a creator. If they have been brought up strongly believing and having that naive comfort. Then it's very hard to suddenly drop that. It's why so many people make barriers and walls around them. Life is simpler that way, no need for deep scientific and highly complex thoughts. Some people like their universe small some like it big and that's fine. Maybe they are scared of death? Alot of people go to god because the humans species is very narssastic in nature.. how can I possibly stop existing? That's not as good as enternal paradise "heaven". God is appealing in times of struggle you can fool yourself that by praying maybe he will help. All these things bring comfort, security. The harsh reality of the universe may seem scary to most. I find it the opposite. We can trace ourselves to stars that exploded, they formed planets and etc. We always go back to the big bang... what came before? How can something come from nothing it's completely illogical... I agree. But does that make it not possible? We are using human logic for that Our brains are not made for that complicated stuff. They are made for running away from tigers on a savannah. Some us are capable of doing complicated physics but most of us can't. You cant look
at the creation of the universe with a logical mindset. We have to use tools of mathematics etc to take away the handicap. We have evolved very specifically on a planet in the milky way. God is a human creation that was used to explain stuff. Greek gods and roman gods are prime examples. We no longer need them because we know that it's all bullshit. So chances are you're god is bullshit too. I had to write this quickly so feel free to point out any mistakes I made logically etc.
"Scientists are now claiming that they're the only ones that can speak on this issue" -- Albert Einstein was completely unknown to the scientific community when he developed his famous E = MC squared equation. So to claim that only scientists can comment on this is completely absurd.

I was quoting Wendy Wright and criticising the fact that she said "Scientists now believe that they're the only ones who can comment on this". I believe this to be completely untrue and that's what I was attempting to show when I talked about Einstein. Again, I completely agree with the contents of your reply.
In all fairness religion does try to act as if it itself is the supreme and final authority on morality and conduct. I wish people wouldn't be so childish sometimes, but I do it too. No matter what is said in this conversation I think it all ends up absurd. Science is a good thing and so is faith. Science is not in a fight with God. Not even science can beat It. God is like the energy that science refers to in its laws. It cannot be Created. It cannot be Destroyed. Who made God? I guess in some way we humans did, but what we used to describe It is what we refer to as religion. We gave this Great Cosmic Reality over to a simplistic human definition, complete with petty human characteristics. We even refer to It in masculine terms. God has no need for gender. I have to assume sometimes to grow. I see no problem with this. I welcome debunkers. I believe science can agree that it has never been observed in nature an event in which life has come to bear without life assisting it. I believe there are some theories associated with evolution as to how this can happen, but it requires faith to believe this. Science says faith is illogical so according to what we observe in reality, whatever brought the universe into existence could very well have been sentient. Yes , questionable is the fantastic flying horse of islam, science has other dimensions and infinite parallel universes though that allow room for such absurdity. Each system can easily be corrupted. The real battle being fought is between liars. God made the Laws that govern matter/energy. Men only discover them. That does not mean religion is not ridiculous. It is. Look at the condition of our species because of it - not God but religion.
In all fairness religion does try to act as if it itself is the supreme and final authority on morality and conduct. I wish people wouldn't be so childish sometimes, but I do it too.

Einstein was a scientist though, and he had his PhD in physics when he published his paper.
The term scientist is being misconstrued to mean "someone with a degree in a scientific field". You don't need a degree to be a scientist; you just need to use the sciences to discover the world. So yes, only scientists can speak on this issue. If you don't value scientific observation and testing above theology, then you are not a scientist. You are not using your mind to pursue truth.
That Christian smile that the blonde woman has is exactly like the Waco cult had.
Yeah, she's first class cult material for sure.
Right? Creepy as phuck
''Lets asume I'm wrong''
''Yeah lets''
pure gold!!!
Yeah, let say he is wrong. And there is no god at the end and everything was a fake idea. I want to know what is the consequence for the guy who believed in god. I am sure that he will just become dirt at the end and he won't feel anything anymore because he has become one with the dirt. But now let's turn it around to Richard, what would be the consequence if god turns out to be real. It's funny how people easily throw the idea of God out of the window without taking a second thought.
If your argument is that if you believe in god, you will miss out on things. I want to know what I will miss out on?? PLs, enlighten me. I dare you.
@@sm3717 That's Pascal's wager and it never proved the existence of God,. I don't mind is you are a fool, I mind if you are an unoriginal fool. What will you miss on? You will miss out on not having to live your life being ruled by an invisible tyrant who damns you for not obeying him exactly as he commands
@@gabrielmaul At the end of the day. I live a normal life like anyone. Have a family, friends, Job, vacation etc. Anything normal activity that doesn't harm me or anyone around me. what are you talking about when you mean living a life I want. I get to do what I want. unless you are referring to drinking alcohol, or have sexual immorality or gamble. well, let's take look, shall we, all of that get you nowhere but pain and suffering. u get killed by these things. God doesn't restrict you from anything good. He restrict you from the bad. So that you may live a happier life. Your argument seems like all you want to do is be the fool u clam to be. You want to do anything you want. It doesn't matter if it will hurt you or hurt others around you.
Amature,
@@sm3717 HE RESTRICTST YOU!
See, you are restricted from doing any you want or may not want to do by an imaginary ruler, how pathetic is that. You HAVE to kneel every day to an imaginary being, you HAVE to behave a certain way so that you don't get punished in the end. You buddy, are a pathetic coward who bow down to superstition, you are just another sheep who is scared about what might be. That is a pathetic way to live. You're lucky your imaginary friend was invented a long time ago, or he might have forbidden the use of UA-cam or other social media.
You are ludicrous 😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@gabrielmaul Again, Kneeling to the almighty is me showing gratitude to him for what I have. If I notice a higher power that created and controls the universe. I rather keel to it than go against it like a moron.
God has restricted me from doing anything bad that could be harmful to me or to anyone else. If you say I want to live a life I want, I could, but I will end up hurting me or anyone else around me if I do it for my pleasures and desires, for example desires to gamble, I gamble day and night only to lose everything I have at the end. Or do drugs only to destroy my life. Where is the benefit of that?? where is the benefit of drinking alcohol or sexual immortality? these are a temporary benefit with long term consequences. Which is religion is prohibited for the fact it has long term consequences. I am grateful that God seems to have the best interest in me than my tempory pleasures and desires. The reason I keel every day.
Another example.
let say, I am a big mafia. I have control over the police and the government and I want to do drugs and rape people using that power. However, nothing is restricting me from doing it according to what you say. What should I be afraid of? The police, or the government or the law. I am in control of them. Guess what, I can do whatever I want without fearing consequence. According to you I get to whatever I want So now tell me why I should be good to people? I am a big mafia, I have control over the government and the police, what should I fear now?? According to you, what should I have to fear so that I can stop killing or selling drugs to people? pls let me know what stops me from doing what I want. be more specific this time???
Creationist: "let me ask you this: are all people who hold beliefs in god and miracles and the supernatural, do you regard them as intellectually inferior to you?"
Me: "PLEASE SAY YES"
Totally
No.... I just find them to be ignorant of truth.
I find that to be sad, but something that could be corrected by the spreading of the facts of the Truth and NOT doing the same with idiotic nonsense about an invisible super guy who lives in the sky and watches everything you do.
Absurd totally.
And you came up with that insult and conclusion using the same logic you use for...... ????? It is one thing to be foolish, but another thing to open you mouth and prove it to the world. Thanks for your "opinion". @AAH Replies
@AAH Replies By the way... look at all the other responses and you will see that I am not (Quote) " the almost only one who believes he has the truth"............. that is not what YOU believe is "truth".
After burning her about indoctrinated ignorance, I'd rebut by asking her if she thinks people of other belief systems are inferior and bound for a lesser fate?
That woman is insufferable. A perfect example of willful ignorance.
CampingforCool41 Its beyond perfection my friend, its what you may call divine :')
+Akshay Kumar Horray for somebody who questions and critiques instead of just believing what scientific authorities tell us to believe. Wendy Wright is right to not accept the status quo. Think outside of the box sometimes.
The scientific "authorities" aren't telling us to believe ANYTHING without evidence. They are telling us their findings from years and years of rigorous research and INDEPENDENT peer review. If you don't understand the significance and effectiveness of the scientific process, please educate yourself before you applaud someone you think is "critiquing" science (hint: she's not). Scientific progress DEPENDS on attempting to falsify hypothesis. Wendy Wright is not thinking outside the box, she is refusing to step outside her creationist bubble and take an honest look at the mountains of evidence. She keeps saying "there is no evidence! there is no evidence!" , and yet when Dawkins offers up evidence she refuses to stop plugging her ears like a child and actually listen for a moment. No one has to take Dawkins' word for it though; investigate it thoroughly for yourself, be honest and unafraid of where the evidence might lead you. Kristen Michelle
+CampingforCool41 You said that the authorities in science have evidence but have you checked how detailed it is? Have you read any of the peer reviewed papers to see how much is really known and what is assumed, what the facts are? Because I have and it is the peer reviewed literature that is the most condemning to Evolutionary Theory. For instance, read this paper which has found the genetic coding system fits all criteria to be considered an intelligent signal, irreducible to natural origin. Read the abstract which is non-technical and easy to understand. So here is an example.*The WOW Signal of the Terrestrial Genetic Code*www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0019103513000791
Kristen Michelle
I believe I said the scientific process was *effective* not flawless. This quote from biologist PZ Myers in his debunking of this article (which for some reason always seems to make creationists salivate) sums this up nicely: "I don’t care what journal it was published in. The prestige of a journal does not confer infallibility, and even the best of journals will occasionally publish crap. They will be especially likely to publish garbage when they stretch beyond the expertise of their reviewers. Icarus is a journal of planetary science that publishes primarily on astronomy and geology. This particular paper conveniently falls between the cracks - it’s a weird paper full of trivial arithmetical manipulations for arcane purposes with no scientific justification for any of its procedures." Here is the link: freethoughtblogs.com/pharyngula/2013/03/15/the-genetic-code-is-not-a-synonym-for-the-bible-code/#comments
Hell, even IF the article was credible and proved that there was some sort of "intelligent signature" in the genetic code, it would still do nothing to contradict the fact that species evolve, nor would it support the notion of a Christian god.
"Because I have and it is the peer reviewed literature that is the most condemning to Evolutionary Theory."
Let me guess, you cruise some creationist websites that link you to a few articles that have slipped into otherwise careful journals, all the while ignoring the thousands upon thousands of articles whose studies and experiments concur with the Theory of Evolution. In fact, in order for a hypothesis to become a scientific theory (such as the Theory of Gravity or Cell Theory) it MUST be a "well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world that is acquired through the scientific method and repeatedly tested and confirmed through observation and experimentation."
"You said that the authorities in science have evidence but have you checked how detailed it is?" Again, what is with this obsession with the idea of "authorities"? Scientists aren't dictators, if you haven't noticed. Yeah, there are people who know a lot about their particular area of study, and no, I don't have the time or interest to verify for myself every single minutia of the conclusions they draw from a lifetime of study. I have, however, compared between the "evidence" of creationism and the evidence of the Theory of Evolution plenty enough to know which aligns most with reality.
Even a homeless stoned out of his mind on crank would think I man flying on a winged horse into heaven would be too far out
“Yes, I believe prophet went to heavens on a flying donkey” (by the way it wasn’t a horse, was a donkey) and this is the guy people look up to for truth
I wish i was able to believe in a winged horse flying to heaven...
why??
Because life would be waaay more interesting.
Godoat the goat.
How would believing in ridiculous bullshit make life more interesting?
You don't have to deal with the inevitability of death (because they say there's an afterlife) and the fact that life is senseless, so it's pretty neat imo
Godoat the goat.
As far as I'm concerned, I'm certainly not afraid of death, the events leading to my death may be frightening, but once I'm dead, that's it, it's lights out, gone, there's nothing more, and that's all folks. My body will be turned to ashes, and I will no longer exist.
Who are "they", and why would you believe what they say?
Why is life senseless?
"where is the evidence?" It's called the FOSSIL RECORD you hockey puck.
Fossil record refutes evolution.
Alpha Beta no it doesn't...
both of you morons, read the bible and ask the Q for yorself before you talk...
Marina Explain the fossil record then.
Creationsists = there is no evidence of any "transitional fossils", case closed on evolution.
Its like they think there should be millions of people back then and therefore millions of fossil evidence showing the transitional state of humans to current day specimens. How ignorant is that? We're talking thousand and thousands of years ago, before the first civilization and they expect there to be "transitional fossils" aplenty? First of all, evolution is mutation, and mutation is extremely rare which is why evolution is so goddamn slow (on average, unless theres an extreme amount of stress on the specimen). If you understand what a mutation is, then you're not going to find all sorts of transitional fossil states. The mutation could be something unseen by fossils. Or the mutation can be a sudden drastic change that it would look like it was always there and that the thing that came before it is classified as something else entirely. I don't want to go on rambling but goddamn it I hate stupidity.
Title is wrong: He doesn't make them look dumb as rocks, THEY ARE!
cubansoy Rocks are way smarter xD
hahahha yes bc of gravity ! oh wait not even your god Neil Degrasse Tyso can 'prove' that one... school lol its the best brainwasher ive seen ever forget churches
Dave - seems you successfully avoided the brainwashing as it's clear you skipped school.
school is a propaganda factory designed by the same pharisees who run the 'federal' reserve. You are just a commodity and you have been bought and sold without even realising it... please send me a link to a photo of the earth from space (that is not cg)... if you can do that - you 'win' the argument - otherwise just bite your serpent tongue - thanks
Dave - I'm confused. What argument do you think I am making that requires me to send you a photo of the Earth from space?
To be religous is to supress logic with interpretations
If Wendy Wright and myself were the last humans on earth our species would die off . . . quickly
sage ohio , or you would just make half human-half neandrathal.
or you could just do it with another species and it would be smarter than her
That's because two men can't procreate.
Who knows, in such desperate times your body may mutate to allow you to reproduce asexually.
Would anybody else actively make a choice In ending her existence so that I would at least know such stupidity had died with her, sadly along with the human race.
She would just pray a baby inside of herself. Isnt that how it works?
So much joy reading the comments
Scrap Engineer I know
Same
Have to amit it its my evenings entertainment!
Atheism is a personal relationship with reality.
Atheism is the denial of God and lack of philosophy
Alpha Beta
Denial of a fantasy and a lack of a theistic philosophy.
Philosophy came mostly from religious people. Ancient Greeks believed in Gods and founded civilization.
Alpha Beta
Yep. It was the first attempt. Religion was the first attempt at many things, Philosophy, law, morality, science and even medicine etc. But no one sticks to first attempts ignoring all subsequent developments. Unless they're complete morons that is.
Even in modern age there can be smart believers, like the fathers of modern physics. Einstein (Pantheist), Planck (Deist) and Heisenberg (Lutheran) for example.
Richard, you won me over. Reading your books and listening to your views was inspirational to me. For that, as I'm sure is true of many others, you can claim success. You have my absolute respect.
Unicorns are real! I know so because I saw an overweight unicorn which was called a rhino for some reason.
ashleigh chance, Actually, if you look up the origin of the word “ Unicorn”
It was a Rhino.
No,you just saw the average american woman.
How the journalist still had a career after this effort is amazing.....
cause he is a journalist dude. you ask all the questions and explore scinerios. that's is the job description
Because the large amount of humans is too dumb to be intollerant.
He writes for people who really believe in what they say they believe.
Pure masochism listening to her speaking about evolution
I tried so hard to persevere but I had to stop. I got all the way to 10:15, though! A real accomplishment!
It's a pity about Medhi Hassan. He such a fantastic journalist, who always cuts out the bs in his interviews, has his facts infront of him, calls out bs that the interviewee tries to peddle, yet when he tries to defend something as ridiculous as we saw in the video, all his rationale and factual based logic seems to go out of the window. Just highlights the danger of religion
Its weird that people wants witness to evolving of an animal to believe evolution but they are believing in mythical things like fliying winged horses because its written in a book...
I beat 40 scholars with an single proof, I could not beat one ignorant with 40 proof.
Emre Ozcelik it is also weird that they claim there is no evidence for evolution, just because they can't understand it
literally if you can see that children look like their parents, you see proof of evolution
I think you are severely lacking critical thinking skills. Think about it a bit harder.
Give me 40 things that prove winged horses didn't exist.
It's literally impossible to prove something didn't exist...
"Have you seen Homo erectus?" Oh, Richard you are naughty.
When I listen to her,I see a hamster on the hamster wheel in her head
Hahaha yeaaaa she looks like she's missing a bit
That poor hamster why would you put it in such a vast empty dark and cold space alone like that. It deserves better than that
And that hamster is stumbling on the wheel horribly!
A wheezing asthmatic hamster with joint problems.
