''Is he a great scientist?..YES ''But thats all he is,a great scientist'' ''Proof and evidence belongs to science'' ''And FAITH belongs to GOD'' Therefore give to science what belongs to science and give to GOD what belongs to him When u remove all the 'knowledge of science'' that Dawkins acquired He becomes a simple ''antiChrist'' My point is..for those who believe,no proof is necessary and for those who do not believe,no proof is enough!! Dont be fooled by Dawkins!!
creationism only makes the question it is asking more difficult. If you think a god designed humans cause its too unlikely for humans to exist by accident, surly you think its even more unlikely for god to just randomly exist without any cause and this means a creator of god is necessary yet a creator for that creator is also needed and another, another, exc. onto infinity, then you realize you cannot define a single creator and the whole thing doesn't make any sense.
@deanmullen10 they (may) answer you with that "the best explanation needs no explanation", as william creig and many other theists do.The better way to debunk the cosmological argument is that it's self-contradictory: It starts with the assumption that everything has a cause, and it ends with introducing something that violates that assumption.
Atheists, Believers in NON intelligence developing into intelligent organisms is beyond,intelligent human reasoning. What ever you choice to call them, they are a group of people that DENIA the very fabric of molecular structure and the world around us. It is a position that is based on a closed mind, self pride and arrogance. To look at the leaf on a tree and hypothesis of how the seed of that tree was created is beyond stupid. If a atheist thinks he is smart without design get your own DIRT

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.

Richard Dawkins complete education and subsequent carrier is like looking at the leaves on a tree and trying to figure out the source of life for the tree. He needs to realize there are many dimensions of knowledge he doesn't understand and not hypothesis on the origins of life without evidence of the very energy that created the life. He does not know the life source in a single cell or understand the energy source for an atom. He was created whether he likes it or not!
Richard Dawkins was confused and could not respond intelligently to Ben Stein in the DVD EXPELLED.

He has no solid foundation for his belief system or he would be able to identify the source of life in a single CELL never mind the human body. There is a greater chance of a world wind going though a junk yard and causing a 747 airliner to fly out the other end.

What Europe is he talking about; the Europe who worships Saints with huge festivals. They laughed him out of Europe so he needs to find week minds elsewhere.
@NorthNorth2009 I live in Europe, and I am an atheist, And I have never had any trouble or the sort of persucution that can happen in America. Most European countries are secular. Yes, religion is strong in parts, but it does not inpinge on the lives of unbelievers.
As for Dawkins being laughed out of Europe. Who told you that, your minister?
I can assure you that Richards Dawkins is very well repected here.
@Darwinsman What are you Brit.? I'm talking about the large chunk of Europe the fun part you know Spain, Portugal, Greece, Italy, France, Croatia, Turkey, Romania, Russia, etc...I don't have a minister so don't theorize like Dawkins. Dawkins isn't an atheist he believes in God and contiues to talk about him in a stupid manner. They may respect him in your country because Dawkins has an American bank account.
@Darwinsman RICHARD DAWKINS is promoting a world without order and personal responsibility. He doesn't even understand the basic function and source of life of the single cell, he has no foundation or evidence for his opinions. Ben Stein had him admit the possibility of intelligent design on the DVD EXPELLED. Ben made him look like a FOOL. He hesitated, stumbled and contradicted his own words in the interview.
@mrelgordoA Order and responsibilty? You only have to look at the global peace index to see that the most peaceful countries in the world are also the most secular.
As for not knowing the cause of the creation of a single cell. I suggest that you study the work at Harvard Medical school of Profs. George Church and Jack Szostak, who are close to doing precisely that.
As for EXPELLED. Most people, including honest Christians, Having seen the outtakes, agree that it was faked and edited to hell.
@Darwinsman THEY WILL NEVER be able to create LIFE to understand is to do. The next time you have to make a meal for yourself, put all the preparations on the table and then, DO NOTHING, just site there and wait to see if order comes out of disorder or, choose to make the meal, then see if disorder Evolves into ORDER. Then ask yourself what the missing ingredient for completion was? INTELLIGENCE!
@mrelgordoA Quote: "THEY WILL NEVER be able to create LIFE to understand is to do."
I suggest you look into the research of Profs. George Church and Jack Szostak At Harvard Medical School before youmake your cliched strawman statements again. No scientist has ever quoted the 747 from a junkyard argument or that dissimilar substances left on a table would assemble themselves. By saying that, you just demonstrate your complete lack of knowledge and the stupidity of your arguments.
@mrelgordoA I suggest you watch some other videos first if you think "Expelled" was a good movie. Ben stein is a complete jerk. The film has about as much credibility as using the bible as a history book. i.e. NONE.
@NorthNorth2009 quote: "They may respect him in your country because Dawkins has an American bank account. They laughed him out of Europe so he needs to find week minds elsewhere."
Well I suppose if your looking for weak minds. America is a good place to go. That's why it's so religious. After all Religion is a mental illness.
I think it's ignorant and wasteful to limit this man to one book of theology/philosophy. Dawkins is a brilliant evolutionary biologist. I mean..he's the DARWIN of our times! Yet most people don't seem to get that. I'd love to meet Dr. Dawkins and talk to him about evolution. I know I'd benefit a lot.
It's funny reading how much absolute conviction atheist have about their beliefs (or lack there of). I urge everyone to read up on G.K. Chesterton and G Shaw, the former a christian and the latter an atheist. They had heated debates but were very good friends; they were comrades against ignorance, searching for the truth. Shaw said this of Chesterton "He was a colassal genius".
Any religious person talking to me should start by apologizing for their ignorance and stupidity. After that I might let them speak if they promise to stick a tree branch up their ass.
Yes indeed, any supernatural Creator or God does need to be analysed, given thought to, examined and not just accepted or dismissed. Dawkins dismisses God with no proof which I find a little perplexing since he is an analytical Scientist. Even Stephen Hawkin dismisses God and that is even more surprising coming from a brilliant and rational mind.
Proof of God is more meaningful than faith in my view but paranormal incidences like spiritual experiences is the key to find that proof!
If you don't believe in God, I'll respect you. If you believe in God or a god, I'll respect you. If you don't know, I'll respect you. But once you call yourself an atheist, you typically find yourself in a deluded reality, thinking that you're mind is so rational and so intellegent. Of course religions can do this too, but the one thing that religions move you towards is a quest for wisdom and philosophical knowledge. Once you say your an atheist you typically throw the quest for true truth away
exactly "religion has gotten used to getting a free ride"..... look at what the POPE said this week on his 'visit' to London. That religion is being sidelined. YES and so it should be. We are in the 21st century. Perhaps religion played it's role in manipulated early societies. But today....we have moved on. Do you really believe in a magic genie who is going to JUDGE you in some imaginary court in the hemisphere. LOL. Take a seat next to the Scientologist, no difference.
The more I listen to Dawkins the less convincing I find him. He states.....' that in Britain & Europe you pretty much have to apologise if you are religious in intellectual circles.' simply not true. Dawkins coasts along on his popularity wave because no one ever asks him the hard scientific questions [ e.g. explain the bacterial flagellum ] for fear of being ridiculed ...he has created this superior, all knowing, smug intellectual persona about himself that most people find rather intimidating.
No-one ever asks him the hard scientific questions!? He's a member of the Royal Society. Do you know how hard that is for a scientist? You don't really have to apologise about religiosity in britain, but you can't really wear it on your sleave as most people would think you're weird. Even Tony Blair never mentioned religion while he was Prime Minister.
The bacterial flagellum is a creationist argument from ignorance, scientists have no obligation to explain it.
I live in Canada and I can tell here it is kind of a mix between Europe and the US, in between the 2. The excessive respect for religion is not there all that much but people still prefer dodging the subject. I hope Dawkins and atheists around the world will continue to raise people's consciousness about what is religion so that over time we might be able to erase that blind unfounded respect for the supposed truths of religion that defy science theories, like evolution, particularly.
A lot of people who are not religious do not label themselves 'atheist' because they simply don't want to say anything on the subject (how I used to be). Dawkins has raised consciousness about how religions seem to be the only things which people don't criticise. So yes, when people label themselves 'atheist' they're probably not gonna respect religion. However, a lot of people don't even label themselves such.
Whether one personally believes in a spiritual dimension and/or a 'cosmic intelligence' called God or not is inoffensive. The problem here is belonging to herds of fact deniers called religions that have done so very much harm to human brotherhood throughout history.
@cuevarap RICHARD DAWKINS doesn't even understand where the right and wrong forces of his conscience come from. He is promoting a world without order and personal responsibility.

There is a very well known clicke' in professional circles, that from personal experience as a CEO for 4 decades I find has a lot of truth to it "IF YOU CAN'T DO, TEACH" Quote from Einstein "know GOD, the rest is details". Dawkins comments on EXPELLED are RIDICULOUS HE CAN NOT EXPLAIN THE ORIGIN OF LIFE. IF YOU THINK YOU CAN, I GIVE YOU THE CHANCE RIGHT NOW TO EXPLAIN THE SOURCE OF POWER FOR THE MOVEMENT OF ELECTRONS AND PROTONS IN THE ATOM! or a single CELL
If science is the way for you, then stick with it, and if religion works for you stick with it. Your mind is built with its freedom on choice. Countless people all over the internet trying to prove the other wrong. :S Life has only 2 principles, Choice and Death.
What a refreshingly normal TV segment. In Australia the compares wear their ignorance like a badge of honour....half the time, just to be cocky and smug.
Dear goodness! This aggressive-religious atheism of late is as boring and lousy as any visit by the witnesses of Jehovah is! Some pseudo-scientific quack preaching no religion as religion, based on a blind belief in the vulgar perception of modern science! Claiming the objectivity of things and even the human reasons in a way no scientist or philosopher would ever do; but I wonder if this is as lousy as it seems to be, why do they do it? The girls? The rubber? The machismo?
lets face it religion is for people that are of a weak will and of a constant need for direction in there lives .
sad, as this arrested developement of mankind,is like a ball and chain on most societys, in the meantime, it is for us athiests to continualy forgive them for there shortcomings. maybe just maybe one day they will free themselves of there shackles logic and intelligence will hopefully prevail in the end.
Atheists are more educated and are free thinkers...Atheists were the pioneers of the 21st Century inventions...there is nothing wrong not to believe in someone who doesn't exist...no evidence that god exists! Accept the fact
All religions are a threat to human kind. Crusades, Slave trade, forced colonial conversions, spanish inquisition, and many current political injustices wouldnt have happened if it werent for christianity.
All religions are equally ridiculous. Especially a religion that based its idea on a man spilling his blood for the sins of humanity (human sacrifice). I despise it
for instance, we try to treat animals humanely and to develop humane ways of slaughtering them for food. Humanely killing our food doesnt give us any advantage in terms of fitness and it doesnt make sense that we should evolve a trait for this...
i think that there're also things about our nature that support God's existence - our high intelligence, deductive reasoning, the ability to predict and plan ahead, and our capacity for empathy. Genetically, we are most related to primates - we share 98% of our genes with them, but we're so different; our capacity for empathy doesnt really make sense evolution-wise either --
I have...I'm a biology major in college right now so I've read texts on genetics, cell and molec, etc and actually first heard of Dawkins in Kenneth Miller's "Finding Darwin's God", a book I had to read for my Evolution class.
idk i think Dawkins is a brilliant scientist and i believe everything that he does, except about the existence of God. Instead of being mutually exclusive, i think that religion and evolution are compatible and can support each other...

God isnt here 4 an explanation of things, thats 4 science God is here 4 LOVE. Jesus may have lived, may have been just a story. Its the MESSAGE that is the most important. Always put out Love-positive energy & its up to US 2 put out that positive energy. I only need God 4Love. U still need science 2 explain everything, figure out the truth, continue to shape our beliefs & knowledge. All LOGIC. God is just a supplement LOVE. Thats it. I hate religion btw.
Religions is build just on HOLY BOOKS. Nothing else. This is a fact!! Wake up man!
No, you wont. You are ignorant.
Atheists and scientists are the only ones capables of answers questions with PROOF, EVIDENCE. The same kind of evidence that made possible that you have a computer and an internet connection.
So, next time you may think in going to the hospital, stop yourself; be at home and pray for jesus.
Yeah but our books have this little thing called a 'reference list'. Also they dont conradict their own content.
I do like the bible though, its great to take camping. Great as kindling for getting the fire started, and doubles as shit paper when you go for a crap.
What are sniffing? The Bible/Koran are collections of fairy tales. How can such books contain any evidence. That's saying Jack and the bean stalk is proof for a ladder to the moon.
Or maybe you are a Bible thumper and ignore reality.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
When you deny the authority of the Bible, you also ignore all of the archaeological evidence, the scientific accuracy, complexity of scripture, and the fullfilled prophecies(that includes Bible Codes) that support it.
I may respect certain kinds of authority, but I ultimately deny all of them as sources of knowledge. Only the actual evidence matters. In the case of the bible, the evidence shows that it is not this perfect scientific, historical, or moral guide that you apparently consider it to be. I have studied the book of Daniel in quite some detail, and the evidence in this case clearly shows that it is not prophecy at all, but written well after the historical facts that some claim it predicts.
Ah, yet another criticizing comment from someone I don't even know. You judge others on youtube comments, which I don't give a shit about. I hate watching Dawkins speak, or any other atheist babble around about his ideas. Dawkins is wrong.
I will re-state the fact that, while you are entitled to your opinions, the fact that you are making posts critical of evolution and atheism while not bothering to learn the first thing about either of them leaves you wide open to criticism.
How exactly is dawkins wrong?u can't just say hes wrong,all he does is base his life on science and the great things in science,evolution is fact whether people like it or not,PEOPLE DEAL WITH IT!
First off, please learn how to form a proper sentence, and secondly, I do not want to waste my time, because I know I have won the argument. Most of the people here seem to want to correct my spelling instead of answering a question they themselves are dumbfounded on.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Atheists are always ready to criticize, but do you yourself know much about all religions? No! And yet you have the nerve to say I don't know about atheism, because I don't care about it! You guys are such assholes, so stuck up into being the best it seems. I am not saying it is only atheists, as in all faiths there are people who recognize themselves as being better educated than others, but look at all of you guys.
I spent over 20 years of my life as a very religious person. After leaving the religion I was raised in, I spent another 5 or 6 years studying countless other religious. So yet again, I will remind you that the true asshole is the one who mocks ideas of which he knows nothing at all about. That you know nothing about evolution and atheism (two completely separate things) is obvious from the comments you have left here time and again.
@CambridgeHeights I am more intelligent than I once was. One of my main goals in life is to never stop learning and thinking critically about new things...I hunger for challenging ideas. It's not so much that I was stupid during my former religious life, it's that I was ignorant of so many well-founded ideas and arguments. As a dogmatic theist, I was taught to think, but within limitations set by the culture of the religion. There should never be limits to thinking.
Most atheists study religions as a hobby, so it's rather foolish to assume none of us know anything about religion. I myself have studied all of the major world religions for the past 5 years.
Demographically speaking, non-theists are generally more educated than theists. If you have a peer-reviewed source that says otherwise, I am sure many of us would be glad to see it.
And yes, we're generally assholes to people that try to cram their morality down our throats.
Truth hurts doesn't it, buddy. A belief in a God is a proposterous, mind-shrinking falsehood. Religion teaches us to be satisfied with not understanding the world in which we live. When are you going to wake up to your own indoctrination you thoroughly naive fool of a man?
@retadinftw You might consider to stop saying atheists know nothing about religion. That is because surveys have actually been conducted (quizes) on the knowledge of religion and guess who scores best on them? That's right, atheists, better even than christians or other religious groups themselves. You can look it up for yourself I am not making this up just google or youtube it.

I was hoping at ending of our conversation on a neutral note, but no, every Atheist I meet is a complete asshole. Nevertheless, you do not understand yourself or what you believe.
That's pretty funny, because you're the one who has obviously never opened an evolutionary biology textbook, and yet you seem to believe that you are well-informed on the subject and are worthy of belittling those who do study it. As for ending on a neutral note - you're the one who mocked atheism and evolution while making statements showing that you know nothing about either of those subjects. I was simply stating a fact about your eduction; hoping that you would get some in the future. Cheers
According to the evolution of human beings, monkey's or gorillas are part of the last step of the process. I'm done commenting here, atheism is just as ill thoughted as religion. Done
Either you are extremely bad at comprehending English, or you purposely mis-read everything I write. I can only hope your future attempts at education do not fail as horribly as your past attempts. Best wishes.
Well, in response, its illogical to belief that we evolved, because, as many do say, wouldn't animals still be evolving to human beings? Or, wouldn't we ourselves be evolving to some mammal better suited for our living environment? So your thought is also illogical to some sense.
Your comment betrays your complete lack of understanding when it comes to evolutionary theory. Humans are not a pinnacle of evolution that all other forms of life strive towards. Life on Earth is presently evolving as it has always done. Homo sapiens has not "completed" its evolutionary path...we evolve just as other life does. Some examples of fairly recent evolved traits in humans include blue eyes & lactase persistance (allowing some of us to break down lactose well into adulthood).
Pardon me, when referring to animals I meant monkeys, as they are the final step towards the complicated process of evolving into a human being. Why are they not evolving still?
There's no rule in evolution saying that primates all must eventually evolve into humans. Also, what is this final step you refer to? Do you seriously think that humans are the end-game of evolution? This is a highly anthropocentric attitude. If I were to misunderstand it as you do in your question, I might ask why humans haven't yet evolved into gorillas, as "everybody knows" that the final step of humans is to evolve into gorillas. It's pure silliness.
I will say one thought that occurs everytime this discussion occurs. Atheists always backfire with, "What created God?!" We get it, you think your smart because you have dumbfounded leaders such as Dawkins who says, "Evolution of life began when life began." What the hell are you saying? You never answer this question, what a terrible, unthoughtful answer to a question that literally states your beleif has no base.
The question "what created god" is useful in displaying the logical inconsistency of your ideas of creation. On one hand, you cannot comprehend how things could possibly come to be without a creator, so you claim they must be created. On the other hand, you claim that the creator being itself does not require its own creation. You can't have it both ways; either things necessitate creation, or they do not.
Before life arose there was most likely a lengthy period of chemical evolution. Many of the plausible steps between inorganic and organic have been determined, and most of them have been demonstrated in the lab environment. The self-organization of basic polymers is just one such example. There's a lot of extremely interesting work that has been done in the area of origins of life research.
Excuse me, once again I ask you to answer a specific question. How did it all begin? Believers at least have some sort of answer unlike Dawkins himself whom roams around critically questioning all believers when he himself is lost.
The simple answer is WE DON"T KNOW! Why is it so hard to say that? It does not mean will we never know. It also does not mean because we don't know, god it. That is a false dichotomy. We are working on it. There was a time when there was a rain god. We now know EXACTLY how rain occurs. That made Mr. rain god go poof. Gone. To say believers at least have "some sort" of answer is just asinine. You are so insistent on having your question answered, why aren't you addressing the replies? I know why
I agree with newcoyote's comment. I would also like to add that retadinftw's assumption that there was a beginning may, in fact be false. There's no evidence to support the idea that the universe or meta-universe had an ultimate beginning. Even if it did have a beginning, the idea that it was created by something that itself had no beginning is illogical.
Apparently many people care what Dawkins beleives in, or else he would not be so popular, no? And clearly he beleives he is more intelligent then us beleiviers because in some interview's he calls beleivers stupid or others similar classifying words. Atheism has no higher power involved, maybe it is classified as a beleif, but what kind of beleif is that? He makes money off this crap!
Some believers ARE stupid, just as some atheists are stupid. However, I think the point Richard usually makes is that the people who are stupid or ignorant are the ones who accept a literal creation story and discard evolutionary theory. I certainly agree with him there.
are you thinking? Evolution has no friggin beginning! How did everything begin? How are we here, how did anything start? There has to be some creation story, as you clearly do not see.
The evolution of life began when life began. I should also note that if you claim that everything must have a beginning, than you can not claim that an infinitely existing being created everything. By postulating a divine creation, you are simply moving one step backwards in your attempt to explain complexity and existence. If everything requires a creation, than what created god? If god was not created, than is it not possible that our universe and "everything" was also not created?
Another thing you are confused about. Evolution has nothing to do with the origin of life. Get out of you ignorance on the subject. Educate yourself, then come back and make arguments that have to do with the topic. Till then you are a bit embarrassing. And it's belief, not belei...however you are spelling it.
It's interesting that you, as a believer, are continuously spelling 'belief' and its derivatives wrongly... Did you notice? You keep switching the "ie" 's around to "ei" 's. That's not religion, that's plain carelessness.
Okay, so in your hysterically dumbfounded view you put my faith into question because of the way I mispell belief? Wow, you might be just as mentally ill as Dawkins himself.

Yes indeed, any supernatural Creator or God does need to be analysed, given thought to, examined and not just accepted or dismissed. Dawkins dismisses God with no proof which I find a little perplexing since he is an analytical Scientist. Even Stephen Hawkin dismisses God and that is even more surprising coming from a brilliant and rational mind.
Proof of God is more meaningful than faith in my view but paranormal incidences like spiritual experiences is the key to find that proof!

If you don't believe in God, I'll respect you. If you believe in God or a god, I'll respect you. If you don't know, I'll respect you. But once you call yourself an atheist, you typically find yourself in a deluded reality, thinking that you're mind is so rational and so intellegent. Of course religions can do this too, but the one thing that religions move you towards is a quest for wisdom and philosophical knowledge. Once you say your an atheist you typically throw the quest for true truth away

The more I listen to Dawkins the less convincing I find him. He states.....' that in Britain & Europe you pretty much have to apologise if you are religious in intellectual circles.' simply not true. Dawkins coasts along on his popularity wave because no one ever asks him the hard scientific questions [ e.g. explain the bacterial flagellum ] for fear of being ridiculed ...he has created this superior, all knowing, smug intellectual persona about himself that most people find rather intimidating.

A lot of people who are not religious do not label themselves 'atheist' because they simply don't want to say anything on the subject (how I used to be). Dawkins has raised consciousness about how religions seem to be the only things which people don't criticise. So yes, when people label themselves 'atheist' they're probably not gonna respect religion. However, a lot of people don't even label themselves such.

Your comment betrays your complete lack of understanding when it comes to evolutionary theory. Humans are not a pinnacle of evolution that all other forms of life strive towards. Life on Earth is presently evolving as it has always done. Homo sapiens has not "completed" its evolutionary path...we evolve just as other life does.

Pardon me, when referring to animals I meant monkeys, as they are the final step towards the complicated process of evolving into a human being. Why are they not evolving still?

There's no rule in evolution saying that primates all must eventually evolve into humans. Also, what is this final step you refer to? Do you seriously think that humans are the end-game of evolution? This is a highly anthropocentric attitude. If I were to misunderstand it as you do in your question, I might ask why humans haven't yet evolved into gorillas, as "everybody knows" that the final step of humans is to evolve into gorillas. It's pure silliness.

I will say one thought that occurs everytime this discussion occurs. Atheists always backfire with, "What created God?!"

You never answer this question, what a terrible, unthoughtful answer to a question that literally states your beleif has no base.
retadinftw 2 years ago
The question "what created god" is useful in displaying the logical inconsistency of your ideas of creation. On one hand, you cannot comprehend how things could possibly come to be without a creator, so you claim they must be created. On the other hand, you claim that the creator being itself does not require its own creation. You can't have it both ways; either things necessitate creation, or they do not.

Answer the question. What happened before life began or the process of evolution, how did it start? This question not any other.

Before life arose there was most likely a lengthy period of chemical evolution. Many of the plausible steps between inorganic and organic have been determined, and most of them have been demonstrated in the lab environment. The self-organization of basic polymers is just one such example. There's a lot of extremely interesting work that has been done in the area of origins of life research.

Excuse me, once again I ask you to answer a specific question. How did it all begin? Believers at least have some sort of answer unlike Dawkins himself whom roams around critically questioning all believers when he himself is lost.
retadinftw 2 years ago
The simple answer is WE DON"T KNOW! Why is it so hard to say that? It does not mean will we never know. It also does not mean because we don't know, god it. That is a false dichotomy. We are working on it. There was a time when there was a rain god. We now know EXACTLY how rain occurs. That made Mr. rain god go poof. Gone. To say believers at least have "some sort" of answer is just asinine. You are so insistent on having your question answered, why aren't you addressing the replies? I know why

I agree with newcoyote's comment. I would also like to add that retadinftw's assumption that there was a beginning may, in fact be false. There's no evidence to support the idea that the universe or meta-universe had an ultimate beginning. Even if it did have a beginning, the idea that it was created by something that itself had no beginning is illogical.

Apparently many people care what Dawkins beleives in, or else he would not be so popular, no? And clearly he beleives he is more intelligent then us beleiviers because in some interview's he calls beleivers stupid or others similar classifying words. Atheism has no higher power involved, maybe it is classified as a beleif, but what kind of beleif is that? He makes money off this crap!

Some believers ARE stupid, just as some atheists are stupid. However, I think the point Richard usually makes is that the people who are stupid or ignorant are the ones who accept a literal creation story and discard evolutionary theory. I certainly agree with him there.
br0k3nglass 2 years ago
are you thinking? Evolution has no friggin beginning! How did everything begin? How are we here, how did anything start? There has to be some creation story, as you clearly do not see.

The evolution of life began when life began. I should also note that if you claim that everything must have a beginning, than you can not claim that an infinitely existing being created everything. By postulating a divine creation, you are simply moving one step backwards in your attempt to explain complexity and existence. If everything requires a creation, than what created god? If god was not created, than is it not possible that our universe and "everything" was also not created?

Another thing you are confused about. Evolution has nothing to do with the origin of life. Get out of you ignorance on the subject. Educate yourself, then come back and make arguments that have to do with the topic. Till then you are a bit embarrassing. And it's belief, not belei...however you are spelling it.

There is nothing left to talk about, because atheists themselves are confused. Done!

It's interesting that you, as a believer, are continuously spelling 'belief' and its derivatives wrongly... Did you notice? You keep switching the "ie" 's around to "ei" 's. That's not religion, that's plain carelessness.

Okay, so in your hysterically dumbfounded view you put my faith into question because of the way I mispell belief? Wow, you might be just as mentally ill as Dawkins himself.
retadinftw 2 years ago
You also misspelled misspell. It's worth noting that you're doing nothing to molest the point that religion is inversely correlated with intellect.
