@spinolex DNA replication - the long and short chains are being generated in a different fashion because our 2 strands run anti-parallel to one another
@spinolex it's Translation. RNA polymerase translates the RNA strand into sequences of amino acids the building blocks of proteins and Life. Don't worry high school biology does not go extremely in depth to actually to show how Translation functions.
This words are so touching, they can easily make you cry and feel privileged and unique at the same time. It seems prof. Dawkins has found the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything. Prof. Dawkins, I bow to thee!
I'm an atheist but I do have my mind open to the concept of re-inception of my consciousness (less religious sounding way of putting it). I mean think of all the events that occurred before my life and how if just one of the countless things went different I wouldn't be alive. The odds of me being here seems too unlikely to be a coincidence. Simply cause we don't see reason for life after death doesn't mean its not possible.
What if time is looped? bt either way a life without god is beautiful!

Who said that science lacks spirituality? This is rational and yet spiritual.

@allcreditdue You can do that if you want, but you would be a fool of an atheist.
I would rather find the author, meet him if possible or at least identify him and then give him credit. But what I would never do is stand there like a blimp and say the painting was not painted by anyone, it evolved itself.
Look at all those stars, planets, a rounded earth, an endless sky, and an earth full of depth and meaning, evil and good, complexity, beauty, love, compassion, words, voices and 7 billion people who are not every one of them identical.
That's pretty amazing to have come from nothing. Maybe next time I go to an art gallery, I might invent a theory to claim that the painter didn't paint it and the clay made its own pottery? I might even get followers and call them evolutionists of art.
@Zwemer100 Is the image of zebras being strangled to death by lions,slowly and agonisingly "pretty amazing to have come from nothing" ? Is the image of a disformed child being born and dying minutes after birth "pretty amazing" ? Is the fact that every place in the Universe except certain places on Earth would kill us instantly if we could be there "pretty amazing"?Don't ruin this wonderful video with your nonsense please.
@Zwemer100 If you can identify a process by which paintings can arise from nothing, feel free to do so. The reality that underpins all that we can see is so much more beautiful than the mythologies invented thousands of years ago by understandably ignorant men. It breaks my heart that billions of people alive today will never be able to feel the honest wonder of being part of this vast, beautiful system because they cannot detatch themselves from ancient dogma.
@Sostratos On the contrary, it breaks my heart that many people cannot detach themselves from a modern and very inconsistent, intellectually dishonest and surprisingly shallow atheist dogma.

@dan11009 The point is to pass your genes down so as a part of yourself lives on. It's not all about reproduction. A part of your character is also mimicked by your closest relatives. Some bio cultural characteristics of you will live on
@dan11009 And living your full life span is not good enough? Believing in a fairies and the afterlife s a better option than living this life? Do you know how many versions of the afterlife there are? What make you think yours is true?
@TemplarX2 But philosophically, why not? There's no reason to replicate a DNA molecule or a cosmic mechine. The only reasons are based on theism and metaphysics. Atheism, philosophically should be more than just denouncing a deity, even though it's going to relate to things like nihilism.
@TemplarX2 A theistic agnostic, it seems. No, it isn't moot especially on Earth, but hey you're an agnostic. Is God telling you to reproduce? No, generally a DNA molecule is for no apparent reason even in a messy enviroment like this and for you to use a theistic word like immortality, yeah right.
There can be a catatraphic circumstance and everyone will be dead so that's relative and a pretty useless term, most humans live in places not even worth to exist in, you as an individual will simply die, and there is no evidence of an intelligent creator. Reproduction leads to no where. We're not immortals if you're implying it - we're nothing but a complex form of a single cell and matter.
@Tetzukai You really don't understand the power of DNA. It is a formed of selective intelligence by itself. Through billions of recombination over millions of years, consciousness, intelligence arises. Mother nature truly exists and is the closest you'll get to a God. DNA has one purpose and one purpose only to spread itself beyond even planetary boundaries. We all have the potential to become gods. With tech, one day we'll relocate planets. The nature of DNA?RNA give it a purpose.
@TemplarX2 Power - another theistic word. "It has power and therefore we must do it," nope, not an intelligent explanation for why we need to. DNA isn't just a form of intelligence. Philosophically, DNA it isn't sentient but intelligence made humans better in their circumstancial enviroment because of evolution.
That's why some species who seem to haven't developed an intellect like our, even some mammals because they didn't need it generally in their type of enviroment. Intelligence is relative to evolution.
It's just a tool and most humans haven't been using it much since we acquired it.
The merit is has between reproduction because it is intellect that can stop it reasons why anti-natalism, the condom or and other types of birth control exists and other thing that moots it's reason to exist - through lour intellect. Demonstrating more that life is unintelligently designed and therefore it's unreasonable to continue the mechine. You going to think that it's a way to control the enviroment?
Somewhat, but intelligence could just end reproduction completely if humans were not such idiotic animals making that a dangerous selection for reproduction. Even if we have intellect, we're still stuck in the game. Power is a relative word, especially when an organism is biologically stuck in it's selected enviroment for billions of years.
Maybe not seeing how retarded must humans are. Maybe we'll be all dead and even so, most likely the rich can afford it.
"We all have the potential to become gods."
More theism, I am doubting you're an agnostic. We're not gods, we're complexed forms of DNA and ultimately energy that has no apparent ultimate purpose because it's ignorasnt and has no conscious or sentience. It means nothing.
For an agnostic, you sure are quick to bounce to theism in porder to give purpose to your existence, which is just the same dribble. An agonostic would stop and question and use science to explain existence because agnostiism isn't a conclusion. Atheism and theism and such are. And I think you reached a conclusion to theism. As an agnostic, you don't know a God exist or not and you should talk about things like this and not to a conclusion.
@Tetzukai It is intelligent if you take the time parameter and every single living organism all together into the equation. DNA and the mechanisms behind its replication is basically a super computer. It can express itself into a conscious form. I'm not being religious! I'm agnostic ffs! You know there are mind boggling theories out there such as chaos theory. What seems chaotic actually has a pattern to it. I'm not saying God created it! It's mathematical. Worm, human, same thing.
@TemplarX2 If you're an agnostic, in the least bit, you shouldn't conclude that to be reasonable and not use such words that you're not sure of as an agnostic. Whether a God is involved or not that isn't an intelligent reason to do it and be controlled by a stupid DNA molecule, especially obvious factors I mentioned.
It's a meaningless equation that doesn't have to exist and there's nothing intellectually apparent to pursue it. The "mathamatics" is already there - we know what we are and where life isn't in terms of theism and the only thing that matters are sentience and intellect in general.
Where's your proof that a DNA molecule has a sentient conscious and it's intelligent, where's your proof that the DNA molecule has a reasonable purpose, pove that intelligent design exists if you're going to refer to it as a super computer and show how intelligence isn't capable of breaking that reproductive cycle completely. Intelligence can do more than just break that cycle.
You seem to be claiming or implying there's more to life than consumption, reproduction, sadism, and addiction and that their something of merit in it which is an hypocrisy. You'll only find that in theism. It's a mechine that doesn't know right or wrong, dumb or intelligent, not a conscious. You as a sentient organism that is intelligent enough to be aware and to feel isn't a mechine.
@dan11009 if you truly think that is the best way to spend your life, certainly, but something tells me if you examine this you won't agree with that yourself. :)
@xaxoxaxi The "point" of this video is to raise much-needed awareness as to our almost hopeless insignificance, and yet the awesome, eloquent, beautiful machinery of a product forged through conditions met through absolutely absurd, astronomical odds -- complex life as we know it.
Humanity is so laughably arrogant and self-important, and so saddeningly concerned with such petty, trivial affairs. Many, many more people ought to recognize this, and that's what this video is for.
@JDvzs I dont know why I even try the hard way with you scumbags ... I hope your parents die in front of you ... also I want to dig up your father after that and fuck him then clone your little sister so I can hang her on her guts 1 more time while I am recording it so I can watch it an masturbate to it later .
Richard is very smart, and the story he told is true. However, the defining part of the "moral" of the story can be taken two ways. One, that we arrived here only with luck. Two, that we were "put" here either divines or aliens. (I can't believe history channel made aliens mainstream)
I wish we could put a number on luck. The chances for a useable amino acid to form (given all the needed particles are present in a single spot) is 1/(10^72), or 1 with 72 zeros after it. A Trillion has 9 zeros.
The truth about HELL in the bible- ECCLESIASTES 9:5-6"For the living know they will die,but the dead know nothing;they have no further reward,and even the memory is forgotten. Their love,hate and jealously have vanished;never again will they have a part in anything that happens under the sun." Verse 10 "Whatever your hand finds to do,do it with all your might for in the grave there's no working,planning,knowledge,nor wisdom." LOOK IT UP!
WE ARE GOING TO DIE... so make your of life a wonderful experience... dont waste time in stupid things that you may regret in the near future... earn the highest form of happines posible for you IN THE SHORT TIME BEFORE YOUR EYES CLOSE FOREVER
This is such an inspirational video. Only when we give some serious thoughts about death, can we really grasp the meaning of life, the inner-felt gratitude for being created in such a way that we are able to perceive, think and experience. It's a shame that in modern society we have been literally locked up in our own steal and concrete prison, out of touch with the beauty of nature.
It's funny how someone like me, who has a huge fear of death can simply watch a video like this to remind themselves how special life is and how worrying about death is so pointless. Thank you.
Ironic that his followers are ok with abortion. And there were some of his same sort that murdered so many in the 20th Century. I guess they were clearing the way for some more of their own. They got tired of the ones who were here already. Dawkins likes to hear his own words rattle between his ears.
@staffsgt7 yes and i quess all the people that were murdered in the dark ages were just clearing the way for more christians good job thats why they call it the dark ages.
Dead-to-the-spirit deluded "God Delusion" author & blithering fool scientist goon Richard Dawkins another "leader" given 2 the profane masses is another useful idiot 4 Jesuit machinations
Jesuitical; pertaining to the Jesuits or their principals; designing; cunning; deceitful; prevaricating
The Jesuit Order completely altered the education system 2 suit their Evo-Hoax Agenda to discredit the Bible
Papal Rome cant have their Counter Reformation 2nd Dark Age DESPOTISM until Bible is destroyed
Let me paraphrase: The reason we're here, on a planet well-suited to us is because we evolved to be well suited to it. By the same token, nine-tenths of the earth or more are utterly uninhabitable by humanity, and yet in almost every corner we find something living there.
Hot springs. Glaciers. The deep sea. Even upon the very clouds. Other creatures live there because they evolved to; simple natural selection at work.
Has God given the USA 9 strong warnings for her treatment of Israel?
You are invited to my channel to see a feature video that tells of 9 occasions.
Y would God do this? So that we turn around from a wrong path.
We should know that God created Israel for His Holy purposes, & He said He would raise up Israel in the end. If we don't know this, we are in darkness, and we should not be in darkness, because God has done too much to give us light.
@GuyWithKohones It's from the movie "Contact" from 1997.This is the starting scene but ran backwards.In the movie you start off from Earth and move away from it but here whoever made the video ran it backwards so that it seem you are traveeling towards our planet.You can notice that when you see the blue galaxy spinning in the wrong direction.
How beautiful and how true. Prof Dawkins' understanding of the reality of life and existence, based on what we humans have so far discovered through empirical observation and scientific endeavour for knowing the truth, will always move those who have the capacity to think and feel.
My uncle had a massive heart attack this morning, and his lungs are filling with fluid. He probably won't survive through the night. These words, which I've heard so many times before, have brought me immense comfort during a time when I am losing one of the greatest men I have ever known. Thank you saganesq for posting this, and thank you Richard Dawkins for your inspiring words.
I would rather die with the animals in this world, than live with the ones in heaven.

@TemplarX2 A theistic agnostic, it seems. No, it isn't moot especially on Earth, but hey you're an agnostic. Is God telling you to reproduce? No, generally a DNA molecule is for no apparent reason even in a messy enviroment like this and for you to use a theistic word like immortality, yeah right.
Tetzukai 1 month ago
There can be a catatraphic circumstance and everyone will be dead so that's relative and a pretty useless term, most humans live in places not even worth to exist in, you as an individual will simply die, and there is no evidence of an intelligent creator. Reproduction leads to no where. We're not immortals if you're implying it - we're nothing but a complex form of a single cell and matter.

@Tetzukai You really don't understand the power of DNA. It is a formed of selective intelligence by itself. Through billions of recombination over millions of years, consciousness, intelligence arises. Mother nature truly exists and is the closest you'll get to a God. DNA has one purpose and one purpose only to spread itself beyond even planetary boundaries. We all have the potential to become gods. With tech, one day we'll relocate planets. The nature of DNA?RNA give it a purpose.

@TemplarX2 Power - another theistic word. "It has power and therefore we must do it," nope, not an intelligent explanation for why we need to. DNA isn't just a form of intelligence. Philosophically, DNA it isn't sentient but intelligence made humans better in their circumstancial enviroment because of evolution.
Tetzukai 1 month ago
That's why some species who seem to haven't developed an intellect like our, even some mammals because they didn't need it generally in their type of enviroment. Intelligence is relative to evolution.
It's just a tool and most humans haven't been using it much since we acquired it.

The merit is has between reproduction because it is intellect that can stop it reasons why anti-natalism, the condom or and other types of birth control exists and other thing that moots it's reason to exist - through lour intellect. Demonstrating more that life is unintelligently designed and therefore it's unreasonable to continue the mechine. You going to think that it's a way to control the enviroment?
Tetzukai 1 month ago
Somewhat, but intelligence could just end reproduction completely if humans were not such idiotic animals making that a dangerous selection for reproduction. Even if we have intellect, we're still stuck in the game. Power is a relative word, especially when an organism is biologically stuck in it's selected enviroment for billions of years.

"Mother nature truly exists and is the closest you'll get to a God."
Which proves, if one exists that he's a sadist and evil. And Earth's theism and sense of purpose means nothing to that in that context.
"DNA has one purpose and one purpose only to spread itself beyond even planetary boundaries."
And you don't have metaphysical evidence we we need to, since you're in doubt of a God.

Maybe not seeing how retarded must humans are. Maybe we'll be all dead and even so, most likely the rich can afford it.
"We all have the potential to become gods."
More theism, I am doubting you're an agnostic. We're not gods, we're complexed forms of DNA and ultimately energy that has no apparent ultimate purpose because it's ignorasnt and has no conscious or sentience. It means nothing.
Tetzukai 1 month ago
For an agnostic, you sure are quick to bounce to theism in porder to give purpose to your existence, which is just the same dribble. An agonostic would stop and question and use science to explain existence because agnostiism isn't a conclusion. Atheism and theism and such are. And I think you reached a conclusion to theism. As an agnostic, you don't know a God exist or not and you should talk about things like this and not to a conclusion.
Tetzukai 1 month ago
@Tetzukai It is intelligent if you take the time parameter and every single living organism all together into the equation. DNA and the mechanisms behind its replication is basically a super computer. It can express itself into a conscious form. I'm not being religious! I'm agnostic ffs! You know there are mind boggling theories out there such as chaos theory. What seems chaotic actually has a pattern to it. I'm not saying God created it! It's mathematical. Worm, human, same thing.
TemplarX2 1 month ago
@TemplarX2 If you're an agnostic, in the least bit, you shouldn't conclude that to be reasonable and not use such words that you're not sure of as an agnostic. Whether a God is involved or not that isn't an intelligent reason to do it and be controlled by a stupid DNA molecule, especially obvious factors I mentioned.
Tetzukai 1 month ago
It's a meaningless equation that doesn't have to exist and there's nothing intellectually apparent to pursue it. The "mathamatics" is already there - we know what we are and where life isn't in terms of theism and the only thing that matters are sentience and intellect in general.
Tetzukai 1 month ago
Where's your proof that a DNA molecule has a sentient conscious and it's intelligent, where's your proof that the DNA molecule has a reasonable purpose, pove that intelligent design exists if you're going to refer to it as a super computer and show how intelligence isn't capable of breaking that reproductive cycle completely. Intelligence can do more than just break that cycle.
Tetzukai 1 month ago
You seem to be claiming or implying there's more to life than consumption, reproduction, sadism, and addiction and that their something of merit in it which is an hypocrisy. You'll only find that in theism. It's a mechine that doesn't know right or wrong, dumb or intelligent, not a conscious. You as a sentient organism that is intelligent enough to be aware and to feel isn't a mechine.

Richard is very smart, and the story he told is true. However, the defining part of the "moral" of the story can be taken two ways. One, that we arrived here only with luck. Two, that we were "put" here either divines or aliens. (I can't believe history channel made aliens mainstream)
I wish we could put a number on luck. The chances for a useable amino acid to form (given all the needed particles are present in a single spot) is 1/(10^72), or 1 with 72 zeros after it. A Trillion has 9 zeros.

The truth about HELL in the bible- ECCLESIASTES 9:5-6"For the living know they will die,but the dead know nothing;they have no further reward,and even the memory is forgotten. Their love,hate and jealously have vanished;never again will they have a part in anything that happens under the sun." Verse 10 "Whatever your hand finds to do,do it with all your might for in the grave there's no working,planning,knowledge,nor wisdom." LOOK IT UP!

This is such an inspirational video. Only when we give some serious thoughts about death, can we really grasp the meaning of life, the inner-felt gratitude for being created in such a way that we are able to perceive, think and experience. It's a shame that in modern society we have been literally locked up in our own steal and concrete prison, out of touch with the beauty of nature.

Ironic that his followers are ok with abortion. And there were some of his same sort that murdered so many in the 20th Century. I guess they were clearing the way for some more of their own.

Let me paraphrase: The reason we're here, on a planet well-suited to us is because we evolved to be well suited to it. By the same token, nine-tenths of the earth or more are utterly uninhabitable by humanity, and yet in almost every corner we find something living there.
Hot springs. Glaciers. The deep sea. Even upon the very clouds. Other creatures live there because they evolved to; simple natural selection at work.
