I'm 6 years old, and I am now an atheist because of Charles Darwin and Richard Dawkins. I spent many years studying all the major religious dogmas and was not impressed. Science and reason are my "religion" now.
i gotta go now, my mom is making pizza bites and I want to watch muppet babies.
If Richard Dawkins ever came to my class i'd be constantly asking questions and taking notes, not just sitting there in silence doubting his theories.
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 Jesuit Order completely altered the education system to suit their Evo-Hoax agenda to discredit the Bible. They cant have a Satanic society of 'Do as Thou Wilt' if people still follow the Bible
The ONE question no Christian,or other can answer is, Why is EVERY child born an ATHEIST!!? This is a question they can't turn around on an ATHEIST.They can't say why is every child born a CHRISTIAN! Christians are INDOCTRINATED to BELIEVE in a HUMAN MAN MADE STORY!! Christians are DOOMED by the invention of the INTERNET! They try and use it for their own goal,but ATHEIST easily topple the CHRISTIANS in numbers on the W.W.W! Now it's the WORLD VS. CHRISTIANS,not AMERICA VS. ATHEIST!!
@moviedude120796 That's because in a perfect world the two would merge like Voltron and bring reason and critical thinking to the masses. Add Carl Sagan and Stephen Hawking and the world would be a magnificent place.
hold your horses people. god has a low chance of existence based on what point of reference? I mean were on a rock flying throughout space so like... how the fuck would you ever even start to assume anything maaaan. seriously think about it

@MeepullStewray OK, I ask you a question. Neo-Darwinism claims the mechanism driving evolution is "mutation and natural selection". Serious question: what is the science behind that? When we observe what mutation do, they certainly do not bring any individual forward. Pretty much all mutations we see are detrimental or neutral. Now what is this theory "mutation and natural selection" based on? IMHO, it is not science, but the necessity to find something that explains life we see around us.
@MeepullStewray - I do not dismiss fossil evidence or any evidence. That's what I said below, evolution and creation have exactly the same evidence.
Evolutionists sort fossils by size and feature, their *interpretation* is common descent.
Creation looks at the same fossils and interprets this as evidence for a big flood.
Darwin already said, the missing links in the fossil record are a problem for the theory. So "punctuated equilibrium" was invented. Sorry, this is not science.
@MeepullStewray You say "this is more than any religion has to offer". This is not science vs religion, this is religion vs religion.
If anything, evolution is a religion, because you have to believe that species A evolved from species B.
Beyond similarities, what do you have? And similarities do not necessarily show common descent, they can be explained equally by a common designer., or creator. And that you deny a Creator has nothing to do with science.
@MeepullStewray - Actually, I forgot something in the other post. It is not simply ""mutation and natural selection", but ""mutation, natural selection and very long periods of *time*". Most evolutionists will freely admit they don't know how *exactly* life evolved, but they say that because we have billions of years, it somehow happened. Again - IMHO, this is not science, but a philosophy, a worldview. What they cannot explain, they attribute to "time". This is as religious as creationism.
@MeepullStewray Sorry - don't understand what you want to say.
But I guess you want to say evolution = science, creation = religion. Sorry, both evolution and creation are not subject to operational science, we interpret the evidence based on our worldviews and presuppositions. They are equally religious in nature.
@petermoel2 Erm no. Creationists have decided from the get-go that there is a creator or a flood and will pick only that which "supports" that position. That is not science, that is wishful thinking.
Evolution, as any good science, can be falsified by, as J.B.S. Haldane put it, "rabbit fossils in the pre-Cambrian". So far, no such fossils have been found.
@TomFynn There are plenty of problems with the fossil record in regards of evolution. But if there is anything that contradicts evolution (that is slime to man evolution) it is simply dismissed.
Also evolutionists believed in evolution from the get-go. Darwin pointed out eg the problem of the missing links, which is still a problem today.
Creation is religious, but so is evolution. Evolutionists say "long periods of time and chance" when creationists say "God the Creator".
@petermoel2 i know i will get little out of this exchange but do it anyways.
People aren't evelutionists for one if they accept evolution, which is indeed a fact. Change over time can actually be observed, and yes into a new species in fact with organism that reproduce rapidly, as it would be the case with virus or bacteria.
And no one dismiss anything factually real that contradicts evolution.. because there has not been anything yet..
@Dimajo When you are finished wasting my and everyones time with posting insults and attitude - what is the scientific fact that convinced you that evolution is true?
I am not talking *interpretation* of fact, but fact.
And to make sure we talk about the same thing, I talk "slime to man evolution" or "common descent". Nobody denies we can observe changes, changes/adaptation can be observed. However, common descent exists only in the heads of evolutionists, not in the evidence.
@petermoel2 It is funny seeing you make all the points as the other debunked creationists such as kent hovind etc. it shows that you have not learned anything other than what has been spoon fed.
I already explained macro evolution not only micro, the rapidly reproducing organism mentioned earlier is capable of becomming a new species in a persons life span, actually alot faster than that.
So Macro evolution is also observable. Btw you can't believe in micro, without accepting macro.
@Dimajo You seem unable or unwilling to answer my question. What simple scientific fact has convinced you that evolution is true? Not interpretation of science, but science? You keep you statements very general and I cannot see a simple fact from operational science. You also seem to display an arrogant attitude. Creation has not been debunked, if anything evolution has failed to "evolve" past a religion worldview.
Before I click on the next video, I'd thought I'd just stop by and say....creationist will never be swayed by evidence, they'll interpret it as god's greatness. Creation can't be fully debunked, because of peoples ignorance and overwhelming fear of dying. Evolution is a fact though, as much of a fact as you were once an infant. Just because your baby pictures were weathered away doesn't change the fact.
@petermoel2 if you need further education my number one recommendation is, get an ecucation. an easier step read books upon the subject, actually understand and learn evolution not just regurtitate what debunked criminal creationists claim.
An EVEN easier step, watch "why do people laugh at creationists part 19" and then read a small bit about the exact thing that confuses you.
Evolution is simply a fact, it has neverb been disputed by anyone who understands it.
@Dimajo What makes you think I am not educated? I believed in evolution longer than I believe creation. As a believer in evolution, you would have accepted my education as sufficient, because I shared your belief. But now I believe in creation, and you accuse me of being an uneducated idiot. See the pattern?
Science or education are not the issue. Worldview is the issue.
If you believe science is the issue, try scientific arguments for a change. So far you only show attitude.
those kids don't know how to argue about religion . They humiliated themselves in a sense because of lack of religious knowledge . Dawkins felt easy to argue with them since he was mature and older and can easily play with young minds . Most of you must have also been gullible enough to believe word to word exactly what dawkin said . Science and religion go hand in hand . The bible as is proven by history has been corrupted by wars, tampering , and much more . science brings people closer to god
@magicalgold010 I agree these kids cannot argue about religion very well and Dawkins uses his experience and training as an unfair advantage. These kids are derailed easily.
However, the Bible has not been corrupted, it is a solid basis. There are plenty manuscripts to assure nothing has been changed. Also (and especially) the KJV is a very true translation. But that is a totally different topid.
It's like watching a game of soccer/football, seeing the game end 5-0 (5 being science's score) and then trying to argue that you've won by having 0 points.
I'm not asking for *interpretation* of science, I'm sure there is plenty of that. I'm asking for actual fact or operational science.
Anyway, evolution and creation have exactly the same evidence and science at their disposal. But because of the different worldview and presuppositions, the interpretation is very different. I find that evolutionists often cannot see where evidence/fact/science stops and where interpretation starts.
Dawkins manages to confuse a few teenagers, great job for an Oxford professor. Why not get in front of the camera with someone "his own size"? Anyway, Dawkins sells people is worldview, not science. He just calls it science.
@sondano You can call my "moron" as often as you like. That just makes you look bad and shows you have no arguments.
Besides - did you even watch the video? He does not present evidence without interpretation and lets these students decide for themselves if evolution is true. He comes along a the great professor from Oxford and makes general statements, *claiming* evolution is true.
@MeepullStewray I watched a fair few of Dawkins documentaries and I have to say I find that almost painful. Dawkins has a talent to make his worldview look like "scientific fact".
Anyway, in this particular case he makes some Christian teenage school students look bad - great achievement for an Oxford professor.
When he still tried to debate Creationists, he looked rather helpless. That's I guess why he stopped this.
@shcnoozlebop You tell me what factual evidence convinced you that evolution is true. Try to leave out any interpretation, but present only the evidence. Let's see if what you say convinces me evolution is true.
These kids are forced to believe in their religion. They would never be able to tell their parrents that they no longer believe. So no matter what Richard says here, they will still stay religious. But im sure they know that he is right.
@Krauz85 probably deep down, you know, they're putting 2+2 together, but some peoples' minds just can't comprehend what other peoples' can. that's why you get people who run away from religious cults while a lot don't, and the same in a lot of other bad lifestyle situations.
by age 16 i was an athiest. I have my science teacher to thank for opening my eyes. Great guy. By this age they should really have their own thoughts developing. I find it so surprising and weird how people who you would think are smart, hold on to these old superstitious beliefs.

Im very glad my mother were as liberal christian as she was, alowing me to deicide for myself when i questiond religion at age 5 or 6 when i learned that there were more than one religion. I feel really sorry for any kid who is brought up in a onesided enviorment.
Lucky bastards, i'm 13 and if i was ever in the same room as Dawkins i would lose my mind. His book "The God Delusion" is the reason i became an Atheist.
I understand the vital nature that propels RD's forceful presentation to these students. But it is also plainly visible how strident the parents will be when they find out about his visit. This isn't just school, this is intellectual/spiritual war.
It is so simple to understand how many high school science teachers feign away from teaching against generational belief... even if it's the only way we are going to save our damn species from ourselves. This isn't new, Socrates died for it.
You will realize that if the Divine light of truth shone in Jesus Christ it also shone in Moses and in Buddha. The earnest seeker will arrive at this truth. This is what is meant by the Search after Truth. Science must be accepted because Faith without Science is nothing more than religous tradition! Evolution with the help of natural selection is the best way to explain human origins and all of life origins
Science must be accepted. No one truth can contradict another truth. Light is good in whatsoever lamp it is burning! A rose is beautiful in whatsoever garden it may bloom! Be free from prejudice, so will you love the Sun of Truth from whatsoever point in the horizon it may arise!
@lisanti42 reminds me of all the kids in my old high schools stance on scientific proof. Could he go to my old school please and knock some heads together? Or better yet come to my college and give a lecture.
I so a tree man thas this person evolv ?...but was it about sickness or simply they are born that way or was it that the body of a person it self was born to form/evolv?
The true beauty of Evolution is that it dispels the myth of race. If we all come from a common ancestor then we are all the same race. We are all brothers and sisters.
If we were all created in our present form then we are all separate races. The evidence is truthfully astounding that race within a species is a myth.
@atchisrj1 well, you see "race" is just a term to separate individuals within the same species, that have significant differences :) and whether 2 individuals are the same species requires them to be able to reproduce with each other! however, scientists have proven that THERE IS NO GENETIC RACES within the species of the human being! :)
We also have common ancestors with kangaroos and sharks, even with avocados. By your logic, species, genus, phylum, and kingdom would also be discarded.
Race is real. It's just not a decent basis for how to treat people.
@jursamaj What? What a perversion of logic you're statement was. I never said anything about genus, phylum or, kingdom. If you read my comment again you will see that I said race in species. Do the world a favor...
What difference between "If we all come from a common ancestor then we are all the same race" and "If we all come from a common ancestor then we are all the same species", or genus, etc.? I merely extended your statement to it's natural conclusion:
I & a black man have a common ancestor, therefore we are the same race (your claim).
I & a fish have a common ancestor, therefore (same logic) we are the same race. To be the same race, we would have to be same species, genus, etc.
@jursamaj Race and species are interchangeable terms. ie. Human race/Human species. Get it? We "humans" are cousins to fish, plants and, all other life on this planet. You are far over reaching with you're interpretation of my comment.
Wait, I thought we were talking about science. You *did* make the scientific claim that "Evolution ... dispels the myth of race". In biology, race and species are *not* interchangeable. For instance, Key lime and Mexican lime are the same species, but separate races.
Me too, but I gotta say though, I would be a shuddering fuck tard if I were speaking to Dawkins. They are actually exchanging in a convo with him, a back and forth dialog, even if what comes out of there mouth is crap, I;m still impressed.
i have a kind of scary feeling that these kids would face some kind of domestic abuse if they came home atheists after talking to richard dawkins, like the video were the mother screams in a child's face after learning that he had become an atheist!
I seriously do believe, that if I came home telling my mother I had impregnated a female (let us assume a girlfriend I had secretly) my mother would not react as violently (not physically) as if I had told her I had become an Atheist. No doubt in my mind exists about that.
feckin' 'el, these kids are so unbelievably stupid. Especially the Jewish dork who really ought to have just sat at the back of the classroom and kept quiet. Then again, maybe the blonde kid was the dumbest with that "I believe it cuz I go to church every week". Urgh, fuckin spastic children, they all need slapped about!
I feel sorry for them though - their parents obviously raised them that way. I was lucky enough to be raised in a non-brainwashing family, and to have an extremely good scientific education (particularly at the age these kids were).
Yea the public school kids beleive what theyre told. I went to catholic school when i was young and that i beleive is the fastest way to convert kids to atheists. Once they realize the contradictions and nonsensical teachings in the bible.

Proselytism.
Dawkins fights against religions, but at the same time he acts like a religious zealot. Attacking other peoples religious views and trying to convert them into his own ideas.
Sadly it seems we British cherish our eccentric folk a little too much. Just think of us as California with more rain and considerably less sunshine ;-)
sigmund freud wrote a book called 'the future of an illusion' nearly a century before the publication of the god delusion. History keeps repeating itself yet people dont listen and just carry on living in their comfortable little fairy tales.
The start of this video is sooo damn scary. "Yes it's alright to believe something only because you were told to, even though it's massively unsupported".
I think, who don`t understand evolution.... is someone who never live as human, because never ever use is brain. Dawkins is right when he says "that people never die, because they never live by themselfs"
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
If we came from monkeys lets all go and rampage the world and rape all the nice girl women and butcher everyone, forget even going to work lets butcher people and take their daughters for pleasure
If you consider rampage, butchery and rape pleasurable, then I seriously pity you and fear for those around you.
Our moral intuitions are innate within us, which is a demonstrable fact. Read 'the selfish gene', look up Kohlberg's stages of moral development, or go to google scholar and type in "moral development". Puka is another good source. We most certainly do not get our moral intuitions from any holy book or supernatural source.
turntochrist says: "lets all go and rampage the world and rape all the nice girl women and butcher everyone, forget even going to work lets butcher people and take their daughters for pleasure"
I just had a creationist on another thread tell me:
"I know all about Pangea... The Bible, too, suggests ONE LAND, while humans did exist! Under that one land were reservoirs of water, and the Flood catastrophe made the oceans' valleys were the Flood waters went into. There is still water under the surface. The Genesis Flood was what caused the continental drift, which happened quickly during and after the Flood. Earthquakes and faultlines are results of that Flood."
This is so sad. A creative, enlightening and important video has (at the moment) less than 1,000 views whereas crap about aliens, evil Jews and symbols on the dollar receive millions. It is really true that only a few individuals stand above the others and take the lead.
Keep up the good work, which explains so much clearer and easier than all the absurd myths requiring caveats, exceptions and nonsense.
yah, but if it had millinos of veiws, creationist would have flagged this vid like crasy, and youtube would remove it because its offensive, thats youtube for you.

@MeepullStewray I watched a fair few of Dawkins documentaries and I have to say I find that almost painful. Dawkins has a talent to make his worldview look like "scientific fact".
Anyway, in this particular case he makes some Christian teenage school students look bad - great achievement for an Oxford professor.
When he still tried to debate Creationists, he looked rather helpless. That's I guess why he stopped this.

I understand the vital nature that propels RD's forceful presentation to these students. But it is also plainly visible how strident the parents will be when they find out about his visit. This isn't just school, this is intellectual/spiritual war.
It is so simple to understand how many high school science teachers feign away from teaching against generational belief... even if it's the only way we are going to save our damn species from ourselves. This isn't new, Socrates died for it.

The true beauty of Evolution is that it dispels the myth of race. If we all come from a common ancestor then we are all the same race. We are all brothers and sisters.
If we were all created in our present form then we are all separate races. The evidence is truthfully astounding that race within a species is a myth.
atchisrj1 1 year ago 10
@atchisrj1 well, you see "race" is just a term to separate individuals within the same species, that have significant differences :) and whether 2 individuals are the same species requires them to be able to reproduce with each other! however, scientists have proven that THERE IS NO GENETIC RACES within the species of the human being! :)

We also have common ancestors with kangaroos and sharks, even with avocados. By your logic, species, genus, phylum, and kingdom would also be discarded.
Race is real. It's just not a decent basis for how to treat people.

What difference between "If we all come from a common ancestor then we are all the same race" and "If we all come from a common ancestor then we are all the same species", or genus, etc.? I merely extended your statement to it's natural conclusion:
I & a black man have a common ancestor, therefore we are the same race (your claim).
I & a fish have a common ancestor, therefore (same logic) we are the same race. To be the same race, we would have to be same species, genus, etc.
jursamaj 1 year ago
@jursamaj Race and species are interchangeable terms. ie. Human race/Human species. Get it? We "humans" are cousins to fish, plants and, all other life on this planet. You are far over reaching with you're interpretation of my comment.

@atchisrj1
Wait, I thought we were talking about science. You *did* make the scientific claim that "Evolution ... dispels the myth of race". In biology, race and species are *not* interchangeable. For instance, Key lime and Mexican lime are the same species, but separate races.

If you consider rampage, butchery and rape pleasurable, then I seriously pity you and fear for those around you.
Our moral intuitions are innate within us, which is a demonstrable fact. Read 'the selfish gene', look up Kohlberg's stages of moral development, or go to google scholar and type in "moral development". Puka is another good source. We most certainly do not get our moral intuitions from any holy book or supernatural source.

"I know all about Pangea... The Bible, too, suggests ONE LAND, while humans did exist! Under that one land were reservoirs of water, and the Flood catastrophe made the oceans' valleys were the Flood waters went into. There is still water under the surface. The Genesis Flood was what caused the continental drift, which happened quickly during and after the Flood. Earthquakes and faultlines are results of that Flood."
