Please visit my channel for the unpopular truth about homosexuality.
A person does not need hatred or any kind of phobia in order to acknowledge important differences between heterosexual attraction / behavior / marriage / adoption and homosexual attraction / behavior / marriage / adoption. Even non-religious people know this.
Homosexual activists, with support from the media, have succeeded at framing themselves as noble victims; it's an effective way to push a social agenda.
For example, science may explore consciousness, but it never has and never will explain it.
It is a logical fallacy to assume that because it cannot be spoken it cannot be the truth.

@JAL19731 He does not make that assumption; he only argues that what cannot be explained ought not to be believed presently. And those examples are totally irrelevant to the extent that this is the first time in human history that religion has not occupied any real role.

@133maxiboy magnetic force is caused by and perpendicular to the movement of charged particles. Didn't you fucking pay attention in elementary Physics?
His test subjects are so bloody stupid a 5 year old could have done this documentary. Brain dead people are brain dead, move along. If Dawkins calls this science we're on the wrong track.
@1famekouby He calls it a simple trial.. this is only a simple test. He will have to do more tests and more complex tests to make it more accurate. ( i think that almost everybody understands that astrology is fake and you dont need tests to proof it)
@1famekouby You didn't say anything, except an insult, then a circular statement, then a dictatic command (which had no reason), and then another general insult. You sound religious yourself, or at least like everyone who has been religious or fascistic. Can you extrapolate upon what you refused to say at first?
@Thephyguy Oh sorry, maybe I didn't imply strongly enough that this kind of documentary is a waste of time, space and brain activity. I don't really see the point of a well constructed remark if the information we are supposed to review and/or comment on is so deprived of utility. This is bashing of stupid and/or ill people, there is no point to this. There is more scientific knowledge and investigation in an episode of South Park.
@1famekouby Confronting charlatans will always be important, and it is a never ending process. What you take as a priori is rarely posteriori for others even after evidence is shown.It's about unreason and illogical mechanisms underpinning human behavior, and taking up oh so much of that time, space and brain activity which you are concerned for, right?It's much more psychological and personal type of empiricism, so I understand your disgust if you are already learned enough to know them wrong.
It is really impressive that dawkins is able to stay so calm and rational during his conversation with the reader. I think i would punch a hole through his fraudulent face.
Adolph Hitler consulted astrologers. Back in the 1980s when Ronald Reagan was president, Nancy Reagan consulted astrologers. Kind of gives me the creeps just thinking of it. Most of the members of our Republican party are right-wing Christard Funny-mentalist morons, and they want to control everything from health care to public education. America is in deep shit!

Thomas "Tom" Paine (February 9, 1737 [O.S. January 29, 1736[1]] -- June 8, 1809) was one of the Founding Fathers of the United States. He became notorious because of The Age of Reason (1793--94), his book that advocates deism, promotes reason and freethinking, argues against institutionalized religion and Christian doctrines.
@gostchiken It is funny about how a company will brag about an improvement in their product measuring up to the least known possible distance in the universe.
Right everyone lets save the world! absolute science and reason is the way...blaahahahahahahaha lets invest more money on space expeditions that has already cost hundreds of billions to justify our own curiosity...blaaaahahahahahaha...what have we found? some rock samples hahahahahahahah
@133maxiboy im not physicist but one pole of the magnet is positively charged and the other pole is negatively charge the earth is one big magnet thus the north pole and south pole
The reason people say Dawkins is arrogant and vulgar is because he actually dares to stand forth and identify something that is provably idiotic as nonsense. The problem lies in the fact that there are so many people believing in that bullshit that come out as offended victims. It's ridiculous, he's actually seems like a very polite person. The truly aggressive - and the arrogant ones as well, more often than not - are the ones pushing their religion down others' throats.
My God this is just like the psycics claiming they cant turn a page in a book if we put something in front of it making them un able to blow on the book. If people indeed have powers, or astrology is true, it shouldnt be able to fail because we WANT it to fail.
So..there is no ENEMY of REASON..there is simply -OTHER kind of reasoning according to what side of your brain is mostly active. The title in itself is very misleading and demeaning to one type of personality. Rather like being a racist.
what it is is a question of left brain functioning people vs right brain functioning people. Both are needed. to the left brain people, right brain people seem illogical and irrational for trusting other senses other then raw cold logic, and to right brain people the other seems cold and cynical. Still, to make a functioning world, both are needed. Without the right brain there is no art, no films, no music, no culture. And without the left brain there is no medicine, no architects, a.s.o
Arbitrary conclusions.I liked until in a paranormal way it jumped from newspaper horoscope to paranormal phenomena and supernatural..like all phenomena are bound to be normal and all nature is bound to be observed and explained by human direct mundane perception and the science it creates and man is the center of everything.Fools.......
I agree w/ some of the points Dawkins made in The Root of All Evil, about how certain attitudes handed down by organized religion have negatively impacted mankind. But in this special, these are just silly people amusing themselves. He seems like a crotchety old Scrooge, intent on convincing kids there's no Easter Bunny.
@hemmedup4bud haha. Yeah, we should always take sn's literally. I guess you are....well, you probably are always up for some bud, actually, haha. My sn's a line from a song. I have zero belief in the tarot cards (though I wouldn't go ahead and just blanket-statement that I believe in no psychic phenomenon whatsoever, must of the stories I hear aren't impressive.) So, no I do not believe in tarot cards,it's just a line from an awesome song.
It's not that I don't agree with Dawkins. But he hasn't really produced any work that i would say is original to him. He has presented it in a more "out there" sort of way. There are a lot of philosophers who say scientific truth actually has some element of belief. The fear, i think of the general population, of taking scientific truth as absolute truth is that we can't say where scientific observations and reason will lead us. A mixture of religion and science always seems more comforting.
@SuperNerd707 ..comforting to the general public that is* And to clarify, I meant that we don't know what we will find as we conduct experiments and such. With religion it's easy. We can bend it and create it ourselves, for good or bad, thus we know where it will lead us. So maybe it's good to see science as an absolute truth; something that's not bendable that can fit certain dogma when humans find it necessary. The truth is scary is all I have to say. Scary but maybe we should pursue it
Then you misunderstand his position. He repeatedly states that science is the persistant review of evidence by peers. When a new scientific idea is presented, it too has to be tested by other scientists to see if it contradicts other theories and if so, why? So much of science is retesting other people's work and finding answers to gaps in knowledge. He simply chooses not believe in things where there is no evidence.
I never get tired of seeing the looks on the people's faces when Dawkin's exposes them as frauds -knowingly or otherwise. They all have that same look of "Oh shit, I've just been caught, get that camera out of here!" just like all those sick pedophiles on "To Catch A Predator."
The fact that humans can believe something as ridicules as religion alone is proof were just stupid animals. Humanity will probably kill itself off dozens of times. It’s all part of evolution. Were still evolving and have a long way to go. I know what happens when we die. Its just like before we were born. . But at least I’m not spending my life sucking ass to a god that isn’t there.I cant understand how people can be so blind/brainwashed and ignore the facts. really sad.
I completely agree with you. It makes perfect sense that what happens after death is similar to before birth. It's pretty sad how some people are so blind and believe and things like hell and paradise.
@1rought I completely agree with you. It makes perfect sense that what happens after death is similar to before birth. It's pretty sad how some people are so blind and believe and things like hell and paradise.
Totally agree with Dawkins on these fraudulent psychics, but what about NDEs? When someone has left their body and can come back and describe what they saw from above the room?
@KelleyMcGuireCurrie There is a female doctor in California who tests this. She placed an electronic billboard sign on the top of the cabinets in the OR, facing up, with a message. (I wish I could remember her name, but I am sure her study has been repeated by others). Anyway, of the people who had near death experiences and claimed out-of-body experiences, none ever mentioned the sign. :\
@KelleyMcGuireCurrie There are ways to induce or imitate what ppl have said to have seen in a NDE, with: lack of oxygen in the brain, certain chaemicals, electric shocks, putting someone on a centriguge. Neuroscientists know that the brain can act awkwardly in extreme circumstances. NDE's are pretty much debunked as a proof of the supernatural.
I was in a chinese food restaurant talking about the barnum effect and how it relates to astrology. When we finished our meal I got the bill and the fortune cookies (for shits and giggles) Mine was " you tend to see the reasonable side of arguments"
The POWER of "Auto-suggession" is indeed a VERY powerful tool that can be used for good and evil motives.But,just like you I believe that there is God and YOU are answerable for your own action.You are given choice between good and evil.We have more power than we thought we had.Don't let some Biologist to apply "auto-suggession" to you !!Your brain is more powerful than any computer.God is fair to everybody and HE does not allow some "Biologists" to dictate on how we should think !!
So,Yes 99.9 % of the spiritual healers are liars based on what Ive just said,but can you blame them? the main goal is to cure,and if you can cure by lieing to your patient because you want that "Endrophine"to be release,why not!!! If the falsehood is being made known, the patient will not be cured.The mind works wonder! If a man come to you and say,"you look sick"and you believe him,I bet my last dollar that you WILL be sick.Thats the reason i will "FUCK those" who utter such NEGATIVE words!!
@D4K0T4375 Heeeeehehehh I believe that there are those who really have that "X" factor and really gifted with the ability curing others spiritually !! Prophets and sages and really holy individuals not "pseudo" preachers ,are those gifted individuals.Its like those magicians who recognized truth when they confronted Moses.Those magicians who dependent on illusion accepted the religion of Moses when they realized that Moses performance was not magic or illusion but reality.
@D4K0T4375 One of these Sages said,"O people!Abstain from learning and learning and believing in astrology,Accept only those facts(of Astronomy)which will guide you in land and sea,because astrology will lead you towards magic,witchcraft and charlatanry An astrologer is like a magician(who practice in black magic) and such a magician is an infidel and all infidels shall go to Hell.You should commence your journey in the name of Allah.
@111256able you said "I believe that there are those who really have that "X" factor and really gifted with the ability curing others spiritually".... thats fucking magic
This is a very powerful knowledge and if abused,can also be fatal to people.Its all about faith and the ability make the other party believes in the "falsehood"to be a reality.Most spiritual healers relies on this!! if you can Chant mambo jumbo to an average hockey player ad covinced him that he is NOW the greatest hockey player,he mericulously will performs like a champion.This is used in some training courses such as sales and motivational courses.Some call it salesmanship,I call it faith!
A doctor who does not have a particular pill,lied to his patient by giving him a placebo(false pill that has no medicial content.)The patient swallowed the pill thinking its the real thing .He got cured from his stomach ache! Why ?Faith !!! How you explain that scientifically?A gland near his brain releases Endrophine,a natural opiate numbs all pain i his stomach.It is that hormone that ease his pain not the pill!!! Without "faith" that the pill is real,the endrophine will not be released.!!
A man who does not believe in God,believes in nothing! More often than not they mistaken "pseudo-sciences" with reality (science)They love mixing truth with falsehood ,a potent weapon to misguide people.They generalize everything they do not understand and attack mistakes of others,not in the pursuit of truth but for their own self-gratification to boost their egoistic goal.They are generally rude and immoral and their insecurity is obvious in their constant display of arrogance while talking .
@111256able I believe in God but nevertheless and do drugs, but I believe that you smoke good weed to " see " the devil in the eyes of this man. Show me proof of what you stated besides the bible or the Qu'ran
@brazeau2009 Good question. Richard Dawkins is a well respected member of the scientific community because of his findings and conclusions. However, what people do not understand about Dawkins is that he uses his own speculatative science blended with hard facts, smooths it over with his own theories, and calls it Proof. He'll find Proof that the Bible is wrong, later quietly refuted. This has occured several times. It seems the only constant is- The Bible.
This fool only considers it mischief because he knows that his reputation is going to be wrecked. How can he not believe in experimental testing? What a fool.
Yes through the Mainstream Medias and book publishing companies they own, they brainwashed Americans and the world's citizens to accept their ways. They thus control the mindset of the world!! Through CRR ,Bilderberg group.Trilateral commissions ,United Nation WHO,FED,WORLD BANK,IMF,these bastards stop at nothing!!Their Godfather is Mr Evelyn Rothschild in th "City of London" and all is big boys like Rockerfellrs ,Morgans,Schiff, Warburg,Onasis,Kennerdys<Lehman,Solomon,Sassons !!WAKE UP!!
These "Pseudo scientists" create the "AIDS- viruses" and under the pretext of controling Polio ,Malaria and othe diseases,they put it in viles labelled as vaccinations viles and injected them to the Africans!!!Thats the reason millions of Africans contacted HIV .They are really evil people!!They are the one responsible for SEPT 11,a covet operation ,an excuse to occupy Iraq and Afganistan.Now they are planning to make Christians kill or be killed by Muslims by drumming for war against IRAN!!
Frederich Engels,Karls mark,Einstein,Darwin were intellectuals that came from this school of thought.Ever wonder that Karl Marx's Das Kapital and Adam Smith's"Wealth of Nations" were financed by this school of thought!!.Ever wonder why the schhiff bankers financed the "Bolservick" revolution. Those revolutionists were Atheistic JEWS!! and the send christians(Russians to Siberia) to work in labour camps!!Millions of Russians Christians Perished.You dare to say that not evil??!
Since the formation of he "illuminatti" in 1May 1776,under the first President Adam Weishaupt,there are many intellectuuals had sold ther souls to forward the idea of "New world Order"backed up by International Bankers like the Rothschilds ,the Schiff,Warburg,Morgams,Solomon,Rockerfellars and others.Disguised as Christians,Judaists and Muslims they hope to break all religious beliefs.They control Banking ,finance,mainstream medias,Drug businesses.weaponery industrial complex and others
He has sold his soul to the devils.Disguised as a scientist,he is in actuality working for secret society and Satanic groups who are now busy in demonizing all religions including ISLAM Their goal is the NEW WORLD ORDER where secularism is the religion.And behind the false front of Secularism is Satanism,They are heavily financed bythe Zionists international bankers.Ever notice he rediculing Judaism?No because he was told not to confuse the supporters of Israel. heheheheh they brainwash others!
He believes in little "greenman"(Lucifer) eventhough he never openly say so and deguised it as(alien) from outer space.What not ask him whether he is a member of FReemason" His education in Oxford ,his exposure to masonic lodges and Darwin's theory of evolution ,made him a "preacher" of the Luciferian school.He enjoy the "Bohemian like gathering where pledges of obedience to Lucifer were made bi-annually.He is an agent of the Devil!! Just look at his EYES ,it!!He IS the "Harry potter" !!!
@brazeau2009 Sorry dude!we are not in the "pot "culture.You and your make-believe world of yours is in another dimension.... far below us ! heheheheheehh.Ask Dawkin to join you in your pot" party! Heheheheh
It occurs to me that the spread of religion can be likened to the new age propagation of chain emails. "Pass this on to 20 friends or receive bad luck" is again exemplar of man's tendency to feel the need for the existence of a supernatural. And although these may be harmless communications (that like religion may be associated with financial gain) they may be likened to the onset of mainstream religion. Indeed I consider them essentially as malicious memes as proposed by Richard Dawkins
@yourass117 Some of the absolutely nicest people I've ever met believe in one or more kinds of mumbo-jumbo. I try not to judge them too harshly but I do my best to inject some rationality into their thought processes
@yourass117 You could have just tried to change her way of thinking and help her build up her defence, when the truth reveals, she will end up helpless... =/
That's funny as I was sitting here just then thinking: "God I used to bloody hate trying to eat breakfast & read the paper whilst my ditsy ex-girlfriend was trying to relate the daily horoscopes to how everyone was feeling, and sadder yet, she genuinely believed it was some sort of breakthrough."
His intention is definitely mischieve ,He is trying hide very best to make people believe that he is a smart by being sarcastic...... He is a real BASTARD!!
He is smart, and he wants people to realize that they are living a lie and realizes that humanity would be better off if we eradicated the superstitions, like astrology and religion, that so many of us still believe in
@LopatoBeats He is the devil himself.And nobody deny the fact that the devil was given all kind of knowledges by God .It is arrogance that had made him out of FAVOUR. Only the Prophets or the genuine followers of those Prophets can overcome the knowledges of Setan or devil.that are full of deceit ,deceptions and lies!!Here,Dawkin portrayed himself as not to believe in psychic capabilities which to him is nothing but nonsense and hocus pocus of some spagetti Monsters!the reality :He BELIEVES!!
The horoscope test may very well have been accurate, but it does not look like Dawkins used a "random" sample, as he claims. Picking people off the street is convenience sampling, and it is notoriously inaccurate, especially in small sample sizes. Furthermore, as no one reported here said they don't believe in the horoscopes (75% of the British population) then I must conclude that purposive sampling was actually used. That is very far from being random. Hardly scientific.
@college12003 - and where did you take this definition of random sampling from? You have no idea what you are talking about. Picking people from anywhere is at your convenience. Using your definition of 'random' would mean taking people from every single age from almost every country. There is no science involved in any type of sampling my dear.
I like how they always say 'change'/'changes'.

This is bashing of stupid and/or ill people, there is no point to this. There is more scientific knowledge and investigation in an episode of South Park.

@1famekouby Confronting charlatans will always be important, and it is a never ending process. What you take as a priori is rarely posteriori for others even after evidence is shown.It's about unreason and illogical mechanisms underpinning human behavior, and taking up oh so much of that time, space and brain activity which you are concerned for, right?It's much more psychological and personal type of empiricism, so I understand your disgust if you are already learned enough to know them wrong.

Adolph Hitler consulted astrologers. Back in the 1980s when Ronald Reagan was president, Nancy Reagan consulted astrologers. Kind of gives me the creeps just thinking of it. Most of the members of our Republican party are right-wing Christard Funny-mentalist morons, and they want to control everything from health care to public education. America is in deep shit!

The reason people say Dawkins is arrogant and vulgar is because he actually dares to stand forth and identify something that is provably idiotic as nonsense. The problem lies in the fact that there are so many people believing in that bullshit that come out as offended victims. It's ridiculous, he's actually seems like a very polite person. The truly aggressive - and the arrogant ones as well, more often than not - are the ones pushing their religion down others' throats.

It's not that I don't agree with Dawkins. But he hasn't really produced any work that i would say is original to him. He has presented it in a more "out there" sort of way. There are a lot of philosophers who say scientific truth actually has some element of belief. The fear, i think of the general population, of taking scientific truth as absolute truth is that we can't say where scientific observations and reason will lead us. A mixture of religion and science always seems more comforting.
SuperNerd707 10 months ago
@SuperNerd707 ..comforting to the general public that is* And to clarify, I meant that we don't know what we will find as we conduct experiments and such. With religion it's easy. We can bend it and create it ourselves, for good or bad, thus we know where it will lead us. So maybe it's good to see science as an absolute truth; something that's not bendable that can fit certain dogma when humans find it necessary. The truth is scary is all I have to say. Scary but maybe we should pursue it

Then you misunderstand his position. He repeatedly states that science is the persistant review of evidence by peers. When a new scientific idea is presented, it too has to be tested by other scientists to see if it contradicts other theories and if so, why? So much of science is retesting other people's work and finding answers to gaps in knowledge. He simply chooses not believe in things where there is no evidence.

The horoscope test may very well have been accurate, but it does not look like Dawkins used a "random" sample, as he claims. Picking people off the street is convenience sampling, and it is notoriously inaccurate, especially in small sample sizes. Furthermore, as no one reported here said they don't believe in the horoscopes (75% of the British population) then I must conclude that purposive sampling was actually used. That is very far from being random. Hardly scientific.

@college12003 - and where did you take this definition of random sampling from? You have no idea what you are talking about. Picking people from anywhere is at your convenience. Using your definition of 'random' would mean taking people from every single age from almost every country. There is no science involved in any type of sampling my dear.
