Richard Dawkins' books, one of them is 'Selfish Gene' which I read about a decade ago, which changed my mind about the way our ancestry and offspring have been developed for ages. His book, God Delusion is too a superb one though religiosity forbids what this book propagates. I have read books about other scientists: Stephen Hawking, Sam Harris, Christoper Hitchens, Darwin, etc. and listened to scholars: Islamic - Dr Israr Ahmad, Mufti Menk, Professor Haleem in Oxford, etc. and broadened my thinking and the way I could change my life by making good decisions. Richard Dawkins might never be called to Pakistan to share his ideas, which is understandable, as our country begotten in the name of Islam, could not tolerate a mere scientist. Our Prophet Muhammad PBUH welcomed non-religious delegations in Medina and initiated long discussions and debates and presented the religion in a subtle and organised way without waging war on non-believers. During my schooling in Pakistan, no one ever mentioned those books, thinking that those books and scientists might change our minds to atheism. I had an immense interest in science but could not follow it due to not having proper guidance and awareness, which I sometimes regret, for the books and teachers were so boring that I changed my career toward something else along with hefty fees for getting into a reputed institution. In fact, nothing happened save I became more educated about other views and tolerance for the odd ideas, the world over. I was a Muslim, I am a Muslim, and I will be a Muslim. Alhamdulillah. This is such a stupid notion that by reading those books and deities any sane, educated, and experienced who is duly aware can change the religion; instead, it can cement the faith, if you ask me. The opposite is possible, too, which is not because of religion but lacking the real teaching of it. Thank you for reading. Learning is powerful... Those who prefer knowledge over entertainment are the ones making waves in the stagnant water.
Sixty to Seventy thousand years ago we were all living in Africa and were all black. It is the distance from the equator that resulted in skin color and the diet the original genes environment and diet that resulted in all the different type of humans due to local environmental adaptation. Environment and our choices such as diet and weather shaped us thru different gene expressions.
Selfishness is obviously governed by selfish genes . But selfless service by humans , I think is dictated by selfish genes too. Because the person helping others feel good because of appreciation. First selfishness is bad for society in a way. The other is good
Very idiotic comment about mosquitoes. Mosquitoes play very important role in nature’s ecosystem both directly and indirectly. Just few examples include they act as pollinators and also very important food source for other important species.
Yeah but his point was why did an intelligent designer need to create mosquitos. Hypothetically a God can create an insect like mosquito minus the blood sucking part & spreading disease
@@terryknight6817 why then you impose this restriction only on a mosquito. You can then say that Why not Intelligent designer created such a strong human who could not be affected by a mere mosquito. It will then be an endless list of “whys”. I being a Muslim (ALHAMDOLILLAH) believe that this world is an examination hall and we are living under certain restrictions. And in next life we will get our result and rewards InshaaALLAH. Science is only to answer “how”it still hasn’t answered the “Why”bit. Only Quraan answers “Why”
@@am1475gr8 Restriction is imposed by nature according to evolution. Doesn’t make sense why your all powerful Allah had be to create flawed restricted designs 😂. For example it doesn’t make sense why Allah sent his last message in a time when books could be corrupted just like Bible was corrupted ( according to you ). If I was Allah I would send my message now and to a good person and not a pedophil% mass murderer like Muhammad. The character of Muhammad which Allah chose has led many people to leave Islam. Allah is pretty stupid. The bullshit about examination hall is a non sequitur to my argument.

Great seminar though i disagree with Dr sahab when he denies that genes dont modify and carry forward to the next generations.
Awaz nh aa rhi

Hawk (musali) aur Dove (Hind) ki kahani two nation theory se milti h.

Hurts so much when he says there is no one there who he can discuss this with. :) kash divide nahi huye hote hum bc
