@BlongBlarble Remember being tired and weary about a lot of comments and watching "Expelled" - that piece of sh*t tasted bile. Ben Stein was in Ferris Bueller's Day Off - might explain some too.
@raulsnchez Ok.....you do realise that this evolution is no longer a theory....... there is enough evidence to pretty much prove it. I suggest you read more
@Teristar1 "you do realise that this evolution is no longer a theory....... there is enough evidence to pretty much prove it."
As an advice, be careful with your words. The Theory of Evolution (i.e. the body of facts and the explanation of them) is a theory. The process behind it, i.e evolutions, is a fact. Compare this with the 'Theory of Gravitation' as theory v.s. 'gravitation' as a fact. This similarity in words are used by creationist to misrepresent the words theory and fact.
@raulsnchez "Ben Stein is a boss... exposing dawkins theory for the rubbish it really is!!! "
Yes, Stein has a good point, however Dawkin's thoughts about the probability of the existence of god or intelligent design has no bearing on the truth of "his" theory (the theory is accredit to Charles Darwin not Dawkin).
you see Creations believe in what they believe. Atheists change with the breeze... " i can't put a figure on it" if he really believed what he Teaches he would have said 100% God doesn't exists.
@karamuH "if he really believed what he Teaches he would have said 100% God doesn't exists."
Being skeptics means you can cannot say you know anything with 100% certainty. Some question we can answer with 'yes' or 'no', but some question also have a third alternative 'don't know'. When it comes to the question if god exists it fall into this last category and the most honest answer a skeptic can give is 'I do not know'. Putting a number on a certainty for 'yes' or 'no' has no meaning.
Any other god would of course refer also to a designer from a distant galaxy! Typical. Strange no one else has been able to see where Ben Stein was leading Dawkins by asking him these questions. Stein's face at 4.29 sums it up; it looks like he's falling asleep listening to the ramblings of some naughty schoolby!!!
@BlongBlarble He says there is a chance that someone might have created us.. but it definatly wasnt any of the gods humans made up.... So he still denies the fact of any human made god to exist. From you comments in infer that you are confused about what intelligent design really is.
This video is quite clearly cut to show all the ermm.. 'bets bits' haha, Also you can see that all of Dawkins questions were cut out.. or he himself was told not to ask any? Hmm... strange, I'd also like to point out I poked holes in everything this Ben Stein guy said as im sure thousands of Athiests did.
i have seen all the arguments for atheism and i can sense a fear deep down inside of all them, a fear and denial.
They don't wanna be held accountable this guy practically goes on to say that there is a Creator, intelligent design by aliens or by God Creator nonetheless.
But it better not be the Lord Jesus no that would make me have to repent and be accountable.
Jesus said this himself in the bible he agreed with Muslims, and Hindus, Buddhist etc and disagreed with the atheist on this point.
@childofconvenant He never went on to say there was an intelligent design, he said that it is possible. Yet another example of blind faith ignoring reality.
@MareSwiss ... I think he was just trying to make it clear that Dawkins did not believe in any god of any religion. This was made for the public, so you can't assume that everybody knew Dawkins position as Stein did. Why should he be annoyed..if that is his belief then shout it from the rooftop. The problem is Dawkins' reasoning is faulty and arrogant and Stein unveiled it. Dawkins says we may have been designed..but not by God and he does not know who did it. SMH>
@bella50008 oh boy, i think you didn't understand very much of the interview...I'm not going to argue with you, for all the others out there, just watch the interview and make up your own mind.
Note that Dawkins won't admit that the supernatural force is all powerful and that supernatural force has no beggining and end but that, something else had to create this supernatural being for Dawkins to start to believe of it.
I admire Dawkins so much for participating in all of these interwievs by mentally changelled "thinkers". Ben "Bueller...Bueller...Bueller" Stein drones does not challenge Richard's position how many times the turd ask "IF god exist", "don't beleive in any God?", "No Hindu Gods"... goddammit Ben-tard - Richard has answered the question, move on already!... that stupid repeatedly God asking might impress your kind of "brains" - selfrighteuos #¤/#_!!!
THE ONLY REASON RICHARD DAWKINS IS ALIVE IS BECAUSE OF GODS GRACE AND LOVE..I WOULD LOVE TO SEE TO LOOK ON HIS FACE WHEN HE SEES JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD AND SAVIOR.
BY THEN IT WILL BE TOO LATE FOR DAWKINS.
THEN HE WILL GO TO A PLACE WHERE THERE IS NO GOD,ANGELS.
HE NOW BELONGS TO SATAN,THE EVIL ONE ,THE WICKED ONE.
@ponyboy1488 I'm not entirely sure if you're being serious, but here goes: "Faith-based" means based on blind belief without reference to logic or evidence. The argument that Richard Dawkins puts in The God Delusion is that there is no proper scientific evidence nor philosophical argument for the existence of God and that the god hypothesis is irrational and unparsimonious because it only restates the problem of explanation--and with a vengeance.
@Anomalous59 I'm not entirely sure if you're being serious, but besides paraphrasing Richard Dawkin's book, you haven't answered the question apart from using embellishing vocabulary. You have no idea what you are talking about it seems.
I'm still wondering when you will give a decent explanation of your own.
@ponyboy1488 You asked me to show that Dawkins's belief is not faith-based, and I did. It's a philosophical scientific viewpoint; we do not accept hypotheses for which there is no evidence. Dawkins's disbelief in a god is faith-based in the same sense that his disbelief in unicorns is.
@Anomalous59 I would be willing to bet that you're not as much empirical when it comes to other things. You don't accept any hypotheses for which there is no evidence? You're positive on every scope of the essence of your own life that this is case?
@ponyboy1488 What a preposterous objection! No, of course I am not; ideally I would be, but it is an unfortunate fact that a single human simply does not have the time to investigate every inch of the framework that makes up a worldview. I do strive toward it, of course, attempting to apply a healthy skepticism to everything, and theism is one idea that simply does not stand up to scrutiny, and it is one that I have devoted some time to investigating.
@ponyboy1488 Unless half of the discussion has been taking place inside your head, I have already answered your question. As far as I'm concerned, this conversation's over.
to use your words...'atheism is the absence of belief in deities'. correct. now, this is a perfectly reasonable scientific position since there is NO evidence to give us a reason TO believe in deities. The fallacy you are making is that you are trying to equate belief in the absence of evidence to the lack of belief in the absence of evidence. These are NOT the same. The latter position makes sense. "You do not need evidence to refute that which has been asserted without evidence"
Ben Stein is the biggest fucking moron Ive seen. Wrong about the GFC annoying voice a fanatic believer in GOD. Cant interview properly without stupid questions that he falsely believes are going undermine Richard Dawkins. Stein stop talking over the interview with his crappy eery music. Not an intelligent man.
@apacheslim They weren't stupid questions, they just proved the arrogance of dawkings by his reactions and that he was forced to come out of the closet and proven agnostic, but in a weird science fiction way.
@caruya He isn't agnostic, it just means he's looked at both points of views realistically.
The point he was getting at was that it is possible for maybe an alien life form to have sprung up through evolution and maybe put bacteria on this planet, but even that is still naive because it's more realistic for life to have sprung up on it's own rather than alien life to have sprung up on it's own and then starting off our evolution. So in this case he says it's possible, just extremely unlikely.
Gotta admit, editing this interview to pull Dawkins' statements out of context was really done masterfully in this video. Then suggesting that Dawkins' has an agenda against Christianity (by asking him whether he believes in a Muslim god) is a very smart, but also evil move and then the music... good job guys, but in 200-300 years an entirely Atheist humankind will smile about these last breathes of religion.
@Chris197980CH That is exactly the point. Our deepest yearning which is the objective truth of the human nature is to seek for happiness that only something infinite can fulfill. What does it matter if you gain the whole universe, you still wont be fully happy, because the void in the human heart cannot be fulfilled with nothing else but something eternal. God put that void there in order to draw us to him. It's very logical at the end.
@caruya I understand that in your personal case that "void" you speak of could be filled with something you describe as "god" and if a believe in something supernatural is enough to fill that "void in your heart" I'm happy for you. However, you are making a logical error when you assume that it holds true for everybody else and that a believe in "something eternal" is the soley way to achieve full happiness when it just happens to be the way that you took.
@Chris Look it does not matter how you fill that void, even if it is with atheism, you still need to pursue or have some kind of "ultimate" meaning. But if that meaning is not objective(God) you will replace it with with something else. The difference is that only objective truth has hope and trust. Don't worry you will get your "happiness" one way or the other. You know why we all have those addictive habits? Because we try to suck "infinity" from things. They become our "god" our idols.
@caruya The imaginary world you created in your mind seems to do you well, it just bears all logics to think that just because it does you well it is true. I do however hope that it's your personal "world" which isn't indoctrinated by some sort of a church or another person because that's when it can become dangerous and that "happiness" you're talking about transforms in something very negative and you become manipulable.
@Chris But it is logical to rebel against an imaginary being? It's clearly now your ignorance in the differences between religious philosophies and use inductive reason for anything faith based. Being a faithful Catholic Christian is a life lasting mission. How it could be dangerous? was mother Teresa manipulated to care for the poor and sick and when she had her own doubts she still stood faithful. When the pope was shot, was he manipulated not to hate Muslims? who is this "manipulator" anyway?
@caruya Caruya, it's funny that you should mention Mother Teresa because there are very critical voices that she was corrupt and sent the money to the Vatican instead of the poor and her goal was to make people Catholics. She would also refuse people painkillers because she thought that when people suffer they're closer to god because Jesus suffered too. She confirmed herself that she'd do it for the Church and wouldn't see herself as a social worker. So yes, she was manipulated indeed.
@museblock You're right, it is a philosophical view, but it is derived from scientific understanding. Modern science has largely displaced the archaic gods we have been satisfied with for thousands of years.
@carlsm95 But the existence or nonexistence of god(s) cannot be proven with scientific testing. We can draw conclusions from test results towards what we would consider a rational guess, but what is considered rational is debatable...back to a philosophical grey area. Science is the search for truth with empirical understanding. Neither atheism or religion are based on any empiricism other than personal conviction/logic. Either atheism should stay out of science or god(s) should be let in.
@museblock Actually, you are wrong here. Atheism is a rejection of theistic belief systems. Theistic belief systems have absolutely zero evidence going for them. It is quite scientific to dismiss theories cannot be backed up by evidence.
@dnanalahcnap Actually, you are wrong. The definition of atheism is "the absence of belief" in deities... from the Greek atheos meaning "without" or "lack of". However, in order to have an absence/lack of belief in something one must have no knowledge of it to begin with... knowledge cannot be unknown. Evidence cannot be submitted for or against god(s)... therefore the idea, which is rooted in man's desire for understanding through logic, well constructed or not, is a philosophical one.
I like that he brings up the ancient astronaut theory. A concept thats really reaching when talking about a creator. intriguing, but definitely reaching. to me its vastly more believable/possible than a god or creationist concept.
Creationism is an easy way out thinking critically
well, stein is a jew, that can tell you why he refers to money when he talks about meeting with his god, he is grown by the old testament's system of beliefs in which a god has given to them the jews, "the chosen ones", money, lands, and slaves to rule the world. lovely beliefs! lol
what a low and cheap technique of interviewing, making the guest wait purposely so he can be easily aggravated from the start, stein is a bias manipulating son of a bitch
@iExperiencedit 'Any god anywhere would be completely incompatible with what I've said'. Somehow to me this doesn't sound like a rigid belief system moreover a system of viewing the world which has structure. The point is to believe in god would contradict his whole theory, which is completely the opposite to the jumbled, hypocritical, contradictory messes that are most religions.
Ben Stein is seething with arrogant rage in this you can just see it pushing out of his fucking eyeballs. As if GOD SHALL NOT BE MOCKED and Stein is the one to champeen that defense. What a pin head. He sits there and challenges Dawkins to speak about legit science and when Dawkins cant entirely formulate (given the time he has and scope of the question) Stein rigteously smirks as if hed just one upped the teacher or something.
@cycophile Ben Stein is like my Jewish relatives. Coy, smart, slick and foxy. He made Dawkins read all the hate and trash he wrote about Judaism and the Jewish God, proves that he hates religious Jews, then shows that Dawkins is not only a militant atheist, an egotistico ass and prick, but is ignorant. Dawkins' can't answer the big questions of science. How did the universe begin? How did life originate? Dawkins doens't know the answers and is a liar. Stein actually proved he is an agnostic!!
@boblackey1 dont make me laugh. Steins a dipshit and a bad actor. Jews matter as much as any other group of arrogant ethnocentric morons. You dont even know what a militant atheist is. The day a punk like Stein is more educated on reality than Dawkins is the day santaclause lands in NY because hey its not a 100% odds he dosent exist. Santa agnostics keep a look out. Yea good for a laugh.
@boblackey1 like me dawkins could care less about jews dont act like you are worthy of hatred. typical crybaby response to a logical ass beating. its Monotheism thats the scourge and filth of the world. it only so happens the romans rode christianity like a trick pony. if it were some other religion causing all the ignorance and carnage it would be them the athiests were after. now go look up militant atheism and learn something about history.
@cycophile You must be living on another planet. How can you even say Christianity is the religion causing all the carnage in the world??? Was Billy Graham flying one of the planes that crashed into the World Trade Center? Did Pope John Paul bomb the World Trade Center in 1993? Did Jerry Falwell set his underwear on fire over Detroit trying to blow up a plane on Christmas day? Did Mother Teresa suggest that the Jew's homeland should be in the artic circle or was it the President of Iran?
@boblackey1 monotheism is all filthy dog shit. the dark ages right on thru the bigotry and ignorance of today. christianity was the plage of the world right thru Hitler. do those people not count? did you say you were jewish. im confused now. wow what planet are you on?
@cycophile Monotheism existed prior to the dark ages and HItler couldn't possibly have been a Christian and I've found much evidence that even at times claiming to be a Christian, he actually trashed Christainity verbally on several questions and desired to uproot Christianity and Judaism from the earth. I'm confused now too. Do you like Polytheism? Do you pratice one of the ancient Greek religions?
@boblackey1 hitler professed roman catholocism, if you want to get technical but its not much of a difference other than "my monotheistic garbage is better than yours so die you swine". you still dont get it do you. all religion when taken at face value is pure ignorance and is one of the banes of humanity and thats precicely what Dawkins is talking about. Stein is just a self righteous moron devoid of science that cant see past the tip of his fat nose.
@cycophile Well Stein, a righteous Jew, could see past his nose far enough to make Dawkins look like a fool on this video, something that Stein did rather well in my opinion. That is why many are so pissed off at Stein. He did it over and over!! One poster said he wasn't fare. That he even made Dawkins wait which contributed to giving Stein the advantage. BS!!! And Stein was slick enough of a Jew to get Dawkins to read his own words about Judaism showing his total lack of respect toward Jews.
@boblackey1 yea stein made dawkins hesitate a bit, woopie, praise the lord. you satisfied now? Now lets see Stein actually do something except for sit on his thumb and be a bad actor. You really think its about Jews still? Which Jews for that matter? the ones that are only surviving in Israel due to US support? well, guess theyd all be dead by now otherwise. & The jewish 'god' is horrific, you read the old testiment at all or do you just talk about it? Its full of violent death by 'god.'
@cycophile Hesitate? He slicked Dawkins into reading his own scathing attack on the Jewish God and Judaism showing his complete hatered toward conservative Jewish people around the world. If people like Dawkins were running the world, Judaims and all religion for that matter would be banned and those who refuse would be killed. Dawkins is a "little" Hitler. Then Stein moved Dawkins into saying NO God had anything to do with the creation of life and the universe but he doesn't know how it happned
@cycophile So now lets get this straight. Richard Dawkins is CERTAIN NO GOD had anything to do with the creation of the universe and life but Dawkins doesn't KNOW how the universe was created or life either!!! If that isn't making Dawkins look like an idiot and a fool I don't know what does. And indeed Dawkins IS an idiot and a fool!! A DAMN fool!
@FlashmoreGash Thank you. Dawkins doesn't know if God exists or no. On a one to seven scale he gives it a six which shows him to be a fool!! He claims to be this hardcore God hating and Judaism hating ATHEIST and he is actually an AGNOSTIC!! And he doens't know how the universe or life was created so how in the hell can he know God didn't do it???? He just hates the God of the Jews. Dawkins is striking out against a religion in his book. He needs to stick to science and shut the F*** up!!!
@cycophile Gee it seems to me that Stein DOES "one up" the scientist on this video. Dawkins says with absolute confidence that Stein's God didn't created the universe or life and doesn't even exist and that the prospect of the Jewish God existing is the most horrible of thoughts. Then when Stein asks Dawkins how certain he is God doesn't exist, he hedges and backs off from being 100 % certain AND can't answer how the universe and life began!! Stein shows Dawkins really doesn't know the answers-)
@boblackey1 Leviticus 25:44-46 "Both thy bondmen, and thy bondmaids, which thou shalt have, shall be of the heathen that are round about you; of them shall ye buy bondmen and bondmaids." Recognize this bigoted trash? Its the same filth brought to the americas by Protestant Christian slave handlers. Still think christians are innocent? How about the treatment of the indians and their total dehumanization on religous grounds. That religion is trash. People can be good if they choose.
And how can you say this "and when Dawkins cant entirely formulate (given the time he has and scope of the question)"? Did you miss it?? Dawkins couldn't answer Stein's questions if he had an entire WEEK to formulate an answer!!! Dawkins CLEARLY says he DOES NOT KNOW HOW THE UNIVERSE WAS CREATED and he DOES NOT KNOW HOW LIFE ON EARTH BEGAN!!. The man is ingnorant of the answers!! Dawkins does NOT know!! And claims that NOBODY knows. Yet he is certain Stein's God didn't do it. He needs prozac!!
"Dead-to-the-spirit deluded "God Delusion" author & blithering fool scientist goon Richard Dawkins another "leader" given to the profane masses is another useful idiot for Jesuit machinations"-C.O.
Jesuitical: pertaining to the Jesuits or their principals; designing; cunning; deceitful; prevaricating
The Jesuits completely altered the education system to suit their evolution agenda to discredit the Bible. They cant have a Satanic society of 'Do as Thou Wilt' if people still follow the Bible.
Good for you judie. Glad you feel so free from God. The liberation you feel, I don't wanna feel.
If anything Judy, I continually expand my mind by placing faith in intelligence. The lack of intelligence is, you guessed it, on your behalf. Not mine.
So everything just HAPPENED? Yeah?
Ahh...I see.
So then, life is pointless? We're just here? Please. Is that the best you've got? Let me tell you something pal, takes a lot more faith not to believe, than it does to believe.
after this life is over, and that there was some purpose to my life; that I didn't just exist for the purpose of providing the earth with organic waste.
No, I think there's a bigger picture here that Dawkins refuses to see.
So if there's any liberating here that is to be had, I think it's his own self liberation from the constraints of his arrogance and pride.
I wrote a book, so that makes me right :D! (right?)
Wrong. Sorry Richie...thanks for playing, try again.
@AbcSesameStreet1 I feel liberated,you would not know beacause you continue to restrain your intelligence by believing in fairy tales...but you would know about taking up an entire page of comments with your silly religous rant
How are you liberated in any way shape or form by coming to the realization that God doesn't exist and life we know it is pointless?
So you're telling me that kansas was right, and we're all just dust in the wind?
Lame. Get a grip Dawkins.
I'll tell you what; I can't prove that God exists, anymore than you can prove that he doesn't exist. But rather than going through life, believing we're just here, I think I'll take the more logical and reasonable approach and believe, I'm going somewhere
So with that being said, Richard Dawkins admitting he doesn't know where this self replicating molecule came from or WHY it came about in the first place, is simply a way of him admitting, in an indirect manner, that which he doesn't want to really come out and say, which would be "I'm most likely wrong about all of this, and God really does exist, so in order to piss a lot of people off and make millions in the process...I'll pretend he doesn't exist and is just a magical fairy tale :D!"
Take note of something here ladies and gentleman; there is a fine line between "Atheist" and "Religion Hater"
Richard Dawkins, the great prophet sent by the "self replicating molecule" is here to save us all! So don't worry about a thing just, buckle up and enjoy the ride.
Because it will be a "relatively" short one.
He is not an Atheist. He simply hates religion. Hates it to the point that he has to use a thousand fancy words to summarize how deep and passionate his hatred for it it.
Mr Richard Dawkins !! you r such a stupid Dumb-Ass if you believe GOD or GOD loving people are responsible for Blood thirsty ethnic cleansing, Genocide & Holocaust etc Mr Richard Dawkins there were always a political motive behind the all these bullshits and always a dumb-ass like YOU were involved in the form of Hitler, i will suggests you to read about genocide, Holocaust & Politics before writing bullshits on the paper and balm GOD! i am so surprise you r making Million for writing these BS
Ben Stein is a terrible interviewer. With regard to Dawkins admitted that ID was a possibility was merely him making a point that any "creation story" is as ridiculous as any other. So, any person who lends credence to the Hebrew God creating the Earth must also lend credence to fairies in my garden having done it.
This invterview is painful to watch sometimes. Dawkins is just getting annoyed at the terrible questions Stein is asking. Talk about beating a dead horse.
Is it really so hard to accept that the atheist hero, the one that most take every word from as truth, has admitted that of course it is a possibility. Though, surely I will get comments that say that he didnt....just watch the video again.
@KesslersCross Watch it again, he said it's a fascinating possility that an alien civilisation of the past put life on Earth. He in no way said it was the work of a god or that aliens waved a wand and we all appeared.
@KesslersCross Watch it again, he said it's a fascinating possility that an alien civilisation of the past put life on Earth. He in no way said it was the work of a god or that aliens waved a wand and we all appeared.
@michaelwuzthere Oh of course not, he left it open to anything but God. This to me, and this is just my opinion, is completely ignorant. Evolution has nothing to do with God but everyone wants to make it a debate...just seems foolish to me.
he have no proof for evolution yet he believes in it but when it comes to intelligent design he thinks of an alien ?? what does he have a god allergy ? . over time science proved the existence of a higher intelligence that is not bound by time or space and that intelligence is no doubt God. and this deluded satanic so called professor can't even reason with himself or even be logic.

this is interesting to me for no other reason than to see prof. dawkins taken off balance. yet his point at 5:00 is, in my mind, infallible. unless, of course, you do believe in an infinite number of divine entities (each coming to existence by some "ultimately explicable process", and in turn creating a successor). in that case, what does that make us? also a fine point at 6:08
Science has not been able to explain to humanity HOW the origin of life began then why should evolution be considered an argument that God does not exist, the dumbest argument I have ever heard from certain atheists is the idea that theists are dumb and schizophrenic and deluded, it that is the case then the human race has been led by crazy people since the beginning, because theists outnumber atheists since early history times, so i guess being a theist is not so bad eh? lol
The fact that a person is a theist does not imply stupidity, there are atheist out there who are as dumb as a post and believe in evolution to death, the fact is that Richard has had his fair shares of interviews and debates before to have been able to speak with Ben, and he showed that he is in fact biased about God, and he simply does not want to believe in God, at the end of the day that is his choice..
if dawkins has really solid arguments no amount of stein's manipulating can make his answers look foolish or unconvincing.. the truth is it just shows how weak his arguments are
no body knows how it started..... that's not science.... that's not experimentation and OBSERVATION...... this man is a fool .... and if you bought his book, so are you.
i'm agnostic and charles dawkins is a joke oa human being...... he speaks of "science" and really only hates what HE see's as the politics of religion..... a complete moron .... contradicts himself non stop.
What i can't grasp is the amount of maggots commenting this video like a bunch of lunis that don't understand what he just said. Lmfao if you seriously can't grasp what RD said then maybe shouldn't be using a computer at all.
No he said it was a possibility you dumwit, and that if so was the case.. it would've been a civilization that by itself somehow evolved naturally even if they created us or seeded life here by un-natural means. That being said its not the same thing as an almighty god that knows/sees/has/andalways/will/be/everywhere/
Just by the questions being asked by Stein you can see he actually knows a 'little' bit about how science works. Now this isn't a positive point, as it just proves he intentionally deludes his flock
What the purpose of this biased interview? To keep religious people in line? To persuade the atheists to convert? To make money from delusion? Making a heavily edited and manipulative interview, where one side needs to rely on cheap tactics in order to appear intelligent, rather than tackling the core issues between truth and falsehood, shows me how deep a delusion can go. Even if one side or both sides are wrong, we should rely on honesty instead of manipulation.
Rubbish. Stein is manipulating, asking questions that have a strong suggestion in it. Pure demagogy! Intelligent design doesn't mean personal god. It is like symmetry in nature, our mind just make an illusion of it. It is not really there, but we believe it is there. We even create a model of ideal symmetry, we draw, build, design something that is symmetrical, it is ok. Nature - no symmetry. Body - no symmetry. Even if god created something, it wouldn't mean the rest of his imaginary functions
"There are only two ways of living, one is as if nothing is a miracle. The second is that everything is a miracle. I believe in the latter." --- Albert Einstein
"I used to be a atheist till I thought I was God." --- John Lennon
To be a Atheist, thus claiming absolutely that there is no God. Like Dawkins does, one would have to have absolute ultimate knowledge to make such a claim. Thus, one would be claiming to be God himself.
Dawkins also believes the first cell came from aliens.
@awesomeness1367 If you believe that a god started evolution, then you disprove The Bible, The Qu'ran, The Torah and any other holy book and are worshiping the wrong god.
It's sickening how slanted this movie is. Just the editing work from the beginning... the make up being put on Dawkins while Stein is seemingly taking his time walking there... being the 'every man'
What a crock of shit. I'm sure Stein got the same treatment going in there. Dawkins may be every bit as pretentious as Stein, but at least he isn't a fucking liar.
@BonBon3589 Richard Dawkins an elitist, pretentious loser, with no proof, only theories to suggest a God doesn't exist! Yet believes in intelligent design. Ok, so not a God but aliens possibly? Fuck off evolutionist scum
@SynthPC Thank you, so much, for proving my point. It seems that every right-wing extremist thinks the exact same thing: I can curse you and offend you as much as you want for speaking your mind, because what you say offends me, and that is NOT allowed to happen.
I'm guessing you're against gay marriage and are Pro-Life, waiting for zombie jesus to come back in 2012. Enjoy your fantasy while you can, because once you are put back in the dirt you'll realize how much you have wasted your life.
@BonBon3589 Correct I am against gay marriage. I am also against abortion (depending on the circumstances), and many other liberal ideals. I will however say that despite my belief in a God, I do not believe in about 95% of what the bible states. I do believe that biological changes did occur amongst people, i do not however believe the popular scientific theory that homo-sapien emerged from Africa. I'm sure this seams ridiculous to you. But there is certainly debate for any of these topics
@SynthPC Hi Synth, Interesting comment you have there. Why is it that you don't believe in 95% of what the Bible states in God? What most people don’t understand is God, being omniscient sees everything from the beginning to the end and His ways are higher than ours. It's like He and I are looking at the same parade going by the Chrysler building. I see a little at a time as it goes by because I am at the bottom on the side walk, whereas God is on top of the building and can see it all. (cont)
@SynthPC We don’t always understand why God said to do something that is seemingly so harsh such as wipe out a whole race of people. Sometimes the answer is plain as day in the scriptures when it talks about God’s wrath toward sin. A good example was when God gave the Israelites another people’s land. It was because that people’s sins had reached a limit that was so disgusting in the eyes of God that it was time to take the land away. (cont)
@SynthPC When Israel did not obey God and wipe out ALL of the people as God had told them when they conquered the land, those same people that remained have become thorns in the flesh of Israel ever since.

@Teristar1 "you do realise that this evolution is no longer a theory....... there is enough evidence to pretty much prove it."
As an advice, be careful with your words. The Theory of Evolution (i.e. the body of facts and the explanation of them) is a theory. The process behind it, i.e evolutions, is a fact. Compare this with the 'Theory of Gravitation' as theory v.s. 'gravitation' as a fact. This similarity in words are used by creationist to misrepresent the words theory and fact.

Yes, Stein has a good point, however Dawkin's thoughts about the probability of the existence of god or intelligent design has no bearing on the truth of "his" theory (the theory is accredit to Charles Darwin not Dawkin).

Being skeptics means you can cannot say you know anything with 100% certainty. Some question we can answer with 'yes' or 'no', but some question also have a third alternative 'don't know'. When it comes to the question if god exists it fall into this last category and the most honest answer a skeptic can give is 'I do not know'. Putting a number on a certainty for 'yes' or 'no' has no meaning.

@ponyboy1488 I'm not entirely sure if you're being serious, but here goes: "Faith-based" means based on blind belief without reference to logic or evidence. The argument that Richard Dawkins puts in The God Delusion is that there is no proper scientific evidence nor philosophical argument for the existence of God and that the god hypothesis is irrational and unparsimonious because it only restates the problem of explanation--and with a vengeance.

The fallacy you are making is that you are trying to equate belief in the absence of evidence to the lack of belief in the absence of evidence. These are NOT the same. The latter position makes sense. "You do not need evidence to refute that which has been asserted without evidence"

The point he was getting at was that it is possible for maybe an alien life form to have sprung up through evolution and maybe put bacteria on this planet, but even that is still naive because it's more realistic for life to have sprung up on it's own rather than alien life to have sprung up on it's own and then starting off our evolution. So in this case he says it's possible, just extremely unlikely.

@Chris197980CH That is exactly the point. Our deepest yearning which is the objective truth of the human nature is to seek for happiness that only something infinite can fulfill.

God put that void there in order to draw us to him. It's very logical at the end.
caruya 3 months ago 2
@caruya I understand that in your personal case that "void" you speak of could be filled with something you describe as "god" and if a believe in something supernatural is enough to fill that "void in your heart" I'm happy for you. However, you are making a logical error when you assume that it holds true for everybody else and that a believe in "something eternal" is the soley way to achieve full happiness when it just happens to be the way that you took.
Chris197980CH 3 months ago
@Chris Look it does not matter how you fill that void, even if it is with atheism, you still need to pursue or have some kind of "ultimate" meaning. But if that meaning is not objective(God) you will replace it with with something else. The difference is that only objective truth has hope and trust. Don't worry you will get your "happiness" one way or the other. You know why we all have those addictive habits? Because we try to suck "infinity" from things. They become our "god" our idols.

She confirmed herself that she'd do it for the Church and wouldn't see herself as a social worker. So yes, she was manipulated indeed.

Either atheism should stay out of science or god(s) should be let in.

However, in order to have an absence/lack of belief in something one must have no knowledge of it to begin with... knowledge cannot be unknown. Evidence cannot be submitted for or against god(s)... therefore the idea, which is rooted in man's desire for understanding through logic, well constructed or not, is a philosophical one.

Is it really so hard to accept that the atheist hero, the one that most take every word from as truth, has admitted that of course it is a possibility. Though, surely I will get comments that say that he didnt....just watch the video again.

@KesslersCross Watch it again, he said it's a fascinating possility that an alien civilisation of the past put life on Earth. He in no way said it was the work of a god or that aliens waved a wand and we all appeared.

@michaelwuzthere Oh of course not, he left it open to anything but God. This to me, and this is just my opinion, is completely ignorant. Evolution has nothing to do with God but everyone wants to make it a debate...just seems foolish to me.

he have no proof for evolution yet he believes in it but when it comes to intelligent design he thinks of an alien ?? what does he have a god allergy ? . over time science proved the existence of a higher intelligence that is not bound by time or space and that intelligence is no doubt God. and this deluded satanic so called professor can't even reason with himself or even be logic.

this is interesting to me for no other reason than to see prof. dawkins taken off balance. yet his point at 5:00 is, in my mind, infallible. unless, of course, you do believe in an infinite number of divine entities (each coming to existence by some "ultimately explicable process", and in turn creating a successor). in that case, what does that make us? also a fine point at 6:08

Ben is quite manipulative here. For those who think Dawkins is arrogant, take a good look at Ben Stein...

Science has not been able to explain to humanity HOW the origin of life began then why should evolution be considered an argument that God does not exist, the dumbest argument I have ever heard from certain atheists is the idea that theists are dumb and schizophrenic and deluded, it that is the case then the human race has been led by crazy people since the beginning, because theists outnumber atheists since early history times, so i guess being a theist is not so bad eh? lol
OneIsrael77 7 months ago
The fact that a person is a theist does not imply stupidity, there are atheist out there who are as dumb as a post and believe in evolution to death, the fact is that Richard has had his fair shares of interviews and debates before to have been able to speak with Ben, and he showed that he is in fact biased about God, and he simply does not want to believe in God, at the end of the day that is his choice..

say we clone a bunch of humans and drop them off on this planet to become what they become in a way to them

No he said it was a possibility you dumwit, and that if so was the case.. it would've been a civilization that by itself somehow evolved naturally even if they created us or seeded life here by un-natural means.

What the purpose of this biased interview? To keep religious people in line? To persuade the atheists to convert? To make money from delusion? Making a heavily edited and manipulative interview, where one side needs to rely on cheap tactics in order to appear intelligent, rather than tackling the core issues between truth and falsehood, shows me how deep a delusion can go. Even if one side or both sides are wrong, we should rely on honesty instead of manipulation.

Rubbish. Stein is manipulating, asking questions that have a strong suggestion in it. Pure demagogy! Intelligent design doesn't mean personal god. It is like symmetry in nature, our mind just make an illusion of it. It is not really there, but we believe it is there. We even create a model of ideal symmetry, we draw, build, design something that is symmetrical, it is ok. Nature - no symmetry. Body - no symmetry. Even if god created something, it wouldn't mean the rest of his imaginary functions

To be a Atheist, thus claiming absolutely that there is no God. Like Dawkins does, one would have to have absolute ultimate knowledge to make such a claim. Thus, one would be claiming to be God himself.
Dawkins also believes the first cell came from aliens.

@SynthPC Thank you, so much, for proving my point. It seems that every right-wing extremist thinks the exact same thing: I can curse you and offend you as much as you want for speaking your mind, because what you say offends me, and that is NOT allowed to happen.
I'm guessing you're against gay marriage and are Pro-Life, waiting for zombie jesus to come back in 2012. Enjoy your fantasy while you can, because once you are put back in the dirt you'll realize how much you have wasted your life.
BonBon3589 11 months ago
@BonBon3589 Correct I am against gay marriage. I am also against abortion (depending on the circumstances), and many other liberal ideals. I will however say that despite my belief in a God, I do not believe in about 95% of what the bible states. I do believe that biological changes did occur amongst people, i do not however believe the popular scientific theory that homo-sapien emerged from Africa. I'm sure this seams ridiculous to you. But there is certainly debate for any of these topics
SynthPC 11 months ago
@SynthPC Hi Synth, Interesting comment you have there. Why is it that you don't believe in 95% of what the Bible states in God? What most people don’t understand is God, being omniscient sees everything from the beginning to the end and His ways are higher than ours. It's like He and I are looking at the same parade going by the Chrysler building. I see a little at a time as it goes by because I am at the bottom on the side walk, whereas God is on top of the building and can see it all. (cont)
thesacredcowtipper 10 months ago
@SynthPC We don’t always understand why God said to do something that is seemingly so harsh such as wipe out a whole race of people. Sometimes the answer is plain as day in the scriptures when it talks about God’s wrath toward sin. A good example was when God gave the Israelites another people’s land. It was because that people’s sins had reached a limit that was so disgusting in the eyes of God that it was time to take the land away. (cont)
thesacredcowtipper 10 months ago
@SynthPC When Israel did not obey God and wipe out ALL of the people as God had told them when they conquered the land, those same people that remained have become thorns in the flesh of Israel ever since. Islam has come out of those people and terrorism now reigns on Earth because of Israel’s disobedience. God sees the whole picture. That was under the Old Covenant. (cont)
thesacredcowtipper 10 months ago
@SynthPC We also must remember when reading the scriptures that there are different covenants. We are now under the New Covenant and Jesus died also for the Muslims including the terrorists to pay for their sin penalty. This is called by many “the dispensation of grace”. (cont)
