SHUT UP SIT DOWN AND LISTEN: Dawkins Struggles to Sell Evolution to Creationist Wendy Wright

[SuperPeNat]

I love that.

''The evidence is there, go and look at it.''

''Ok lemme go back to Darwinism, and where it was spawned...''

Nice try, lady, but we see your game.

[ZZzzzzzWhat]

Creatard: "I see you have a picture of your great-grandfather and a picture of your father, but there is no picture of your grandfather! hahahah you can't prove your grandfather ever existed! So therefore you are not decedent from your great-grandfather! hahaha I win!!" (runs away with imaginary trophy)

[furryflippers]

@Socracea i dont think that she is presenting her idea as truth but is trying to establish a right to be able to debate darwin's theory in a scientific manner. It's not something that is accepted and she is only trying to create a platform for it, i consider myself unbias and would think that in a open ,free;will society many ideas that have scientific eviedence if any should be at least considered and not just dismissed because as you claim she is mad.

[Treyb3yond]

@furryflippers You need to know something about science to debate it first and foremost. This woman knows nothing and is just a disgrace.

[cutes22]

I can't watch this brain dead woman talk.

[jondibond]

''DNA is common in most species'' ????? WTF?????

[SmervinMervin24]

@jondibond With the exception of bacteria, who usually use RNA. But I'm not sure what species she was talking about.

[SuperPeNat]

@jondibond i know, how the fuck can you argue anything against science when you say that lmao

[DisforDubby]

Why is there so much extra shit going on all over this video? its fucking annoying.

[DisforDubby]

Woman: "Show me the evidence plz"

Dawkins: "ok here it is"

Woman: "ok but show me the evidence"

Dawkins: "FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUU"

[josmeijers]

It's like a deer in the headlights, really.

She expected a god-hating, dogmatic atheist who would attack religion at every opportunity with tons of bias. She found herself in a real debate and was screwed.

[Socracea]

I love watching this video because it is a perfect example of how the ignorance of the religious right simply ignores any reason. She is a complete idiot.

The worse part is - I would venture to say that 80% of religious people I know are this stalwart in their deluded beliefs... It is scary...

The Bible has been proven to be a fallacy yet they simply reply "It was not meant to be taken literally"... The Koran has been proven to have been falsified, yet the same occurs.

[StrikaAmaru]

The stupid bitch hasn't set foot in the Smithsonian in her entire miserable life. Less church, more school, idiot.

[wotters12345]

how can you possibly have a debate with someone as stupid as this woman , you provide her with evidence she rejects it and says she believes something else ,for me that is debate over really . she could do the same with anything ,you could say the world is round and show her evidence she would then say well i dont believe in your evidence and i believe the world is flat .

[MrReminisce78]

Astralpithicus & Homo Erectus are primates...period, not a connection between primates & man. She should've asked Dawkins why genetics speak against evolution. Evolution demands that new genetic information come from the constant mutating of cells over millions & millions of years. Genetics teach that new information cannot result from no information. Oh that's right, he was asked this before and asked that the camera be turned off.

[StrikaAmaru]

@MrReminisce78 She stated that only humans have distinct genomes which can be used to distinguish between people, and animals don't. That is, besides blatantly untrue, so ridiculously dumb that the English language has no suitable descriptors.

"Genetics teach that new information cannot result from no information" No, swindling televangelists and double-faced Christian apologists claim that. Genetics doesn't even define "information". It defines genes, alleles, and how they change in time.

[DiscipleOfMetal]

@MrReminisce78 Sorry, I'm a biology major and what you just said was completely wrong. Humans are primates because of both our genetics and our anatomy. Genetic information dose not come form mutated cells, but mutations in genetic sequencing in DNA and RNA. Genetics has shown that new information comes with different sequencing of different proteins. Also your Dawkin's comment has also been debunked many times. Dawkins told the camera crew to get out when he figured out that he was set up.

[SasuNaruCollection]

She seems to think that museums hold every single fact along with a physical manifestation of it...

[TheBrucew]

Homo erectus = a few gorilla bones and a human tooth.... found 50 feet apart..

[gmsimpson05]

Ow. That is extremely painful to watch

[theshredator]

Somebody please plug the hole in that blond sack of hot air.

[LowdenFretter]

I watched all of this interview and i think the frustration with Mr Dawkins is that he is trying to explain scientific evidence and facts to a woman who seems to have the mentality and understanding ability of a 5 yearold. Every time he presents her with intelligence she giggles and then starts talking about something totally different or just repeats something she said earlier that he agreed with her about.lol. He has a lot more patients with her than i would have had.

[TheMythBreaker]

Why cant Dawkins just point out to one SINGLE Transitional form between current living creatures and its immediate ancestors...As usual the Darwinian monk Dawkins resorts to Homosapies,Homo blha blah.. to evade the question

[13Penguins]

@TheMythBreaker That wasn't an evasion, it was a real answer. Nearly every fossil in the fossil record is an intermediate. The concept of transitional forms is muddled by people who don't understand that ALL species are in transition. Eventually, every species of animal that exists today will be either extinct, or have evolved into new species. Just as every species that has come before. These might not be superior, just different.

[RyuDarragh]

"There none so blind as he who will not see. None so deaf as he who will not hear. Put your faith in the Lord alone and ignore all evidence to the contrary. Whatever the intellectuals tell you, hold to the story of Genesis. No matter what evidence they present" - the former contradictory advice is brought to you by The Religious Right, paid for by donations that could have otherwise been used on charitable works or to just plain pay bills and debts owed.

[bulbinking]

Doesn't she realize that nations who are largely atheist/agnostic or at least half and half between them and theists have far far FAAAAR less crime per capita and largely THRIVING economies? (except for japan economic wise, but thats because america helped drag them down with us...)

[GodlessInfinity]

Wow this woman clearly doesn't know anything about science or history other than feel good propaganda and sunday school stories.

[sarojinius]

He is frustrated because he is wrong, why is he not confident in his beliefs? Wendy Wright is confident-it is obvious she is much more intelligent than him. He is frustrated, and always will be, see him hesitate at 5.50-he knows that his knowledge is incomplete-he is trying to convince himself. He is scared of God.

[Split539]

@sarojinius You are abjectly idiotic. Sorry for the terminology, but it is obvious that schooling failed in your ability to critically think.... or was it your parents who failed in teaching you to, likely just pushing a bunch of mindless bible verse at you? I have a feeling an actual discussion with you about this topic would flow very much like this one did, with you just not being able to grasp the simple concepts being put forward

[tstone2077]

anyone notice she finds "facts" and "evidence" very funny? maybe a little too funny. almost a creepy funny.

[nandanugent]

Owned by a blonde! Dawkins is not so bright after all. She is well switched on. She is brilliant!

[KiwiBrideCom]

@nandanugent Wow, you must be as moronic as she is if that's what you got from that. She continually ignored and interrupted him. She had nothing substantial to say.

[nandanugent]

@KiwiBrideCom Dawkins could not answer her question -listen carefully-he was stumped by the question-that's why he was so frustrated. He just kept repeating himself.

[KiwiBrideCom]

@nandanugent What video were you watching?!

[chewey]

@nandanugent Just because she refused to acknowledge he answered the questions does not make it so. He gave her stacks of evidence and told her where to find it and all she could do was laugh. I wanted to pull my hair out after sitting through this debate. She is a complete idiot.

[TheWersum]

@chewey It is just woman's style of arguing. Where is no proper logic there - only inside- out logic. You have to have little training before you are taking on such people. he he.

[sarojinius]

@KiwiBrideCom She did not ignore him, she defeated him intellectually-see how angry he looked. He lost his cool, she did not!

[nybgrus]

@nandanugent He was owned? She states "The Smithsonian museum would be filled with them" and he says "they are are there" and she ignores him. He gives the names of the intermediates, and she says "they aren't there" and he says "they are! Just look!" and she changes the topic to cultural and societal issues which have nothing to do with evolution. I have personally been to the Smithsonian and SEEN THEM MYSELF! She is absolutely, utterly, and unequivocally idiotic.

[sarojinius]

@nybgrus Why so angry? Knowledge brings peace and wisdom, ignorance anger.

[nybgrus]

@sarojinius Why so angry? Because lying, scheming, self promoting, people like her rant and rail loudly to maintain their power through religious lunacy, complete denialism, fear mongering, and hate. She had NOTHING to say to him except "no, i just choose not to believe it." That is fine - she doesn't have to. But she pushes an agenda to deprive people of civil rights, to impose HER values on others, and to teach our children to be stupid. And yes, that deserves some anger.

[MHJDenmark]

@sarojinius Go to a museum and see the evidence for yourself or stop trolling.

[bulbinking]

@sarojinius

Ignorance also anger others, especially when they make poor decisions based on their ignorance. Wouldn't you be upset if somebody wanted to bleed you because they thought it would cure your fever?

[nandanugent]

@bulbinking How did you know I have had a fever! But anger is also ignorance and leads to poor decisions. Science is cool up to a point, and I would certainly prefer science to help me with a fever. I have had a fever for 5 months this year (true) and visited various doctors numerous times and they found nothing wrong, very frustrating believe me. I have had to resort to alternative medicine for a cure, which has helped me immensely. I wish science did have all of the answers. @sarojinius

[SasuNaruCollection]

@nandanugent I know this is old but... you do realize that alternative medicine... was discovered through science right?

[nandanugent]

@SasuNaruCollection I guess there's some truth in that, but any ancient person/caveman discovering so called alternative medicine would not have been scientifically valid using statistical analysis for verification of results, so can not be be "scientific" in the true sense. The kind of science in early discoveries is empirical, and certainly has some validity- and all science has an empirical element. Empirical science has its own merits, but it is sensible to verify too.

[244Ohiro]

@nandanugent You are obviously as retarded as she is, LOL!

[sarojinius]

@244Ohiro See how Dawkins loses his temper! If he is so sure of his philosophy then why is he not relaxed and confident like Wendy Wright?

[244Ohiro]

@sarojinius That's not relaxed and confident my half-witted creationist special person, that's in fact DELUDED as you obviously are as well - LOL!

[nandanugent]

Owned by a blonde! Dawkins is not so bright after all. She is well switched on.

[nandanugent]

Owned by a blond! Dawkins is not that bright.She has got him on the run!

[mmmmmarcus]

@nandanugent up fuck the shut. The triple-post really shows how stupid you are.

[nandanugent]

@mmmmmarcus Lose your temper lose the argument-why so angry-chillout. Why are atheist so angry all of the time?

[mmmmmarcus]

@nandanugent because stupid, mentally bankrupt creatards like you piss us off. But you already know this, you stupid troll.

[nandanugent]

@mmmmmarcus I don't mean to piss you off, sorry, but I sense Dawkins is the spokesperson for many who are "pissed off" with something or other. I guess Dawkins is pissed off too, but he may actually have a valid point to share, but I sense he struggles to articulate what is causing his obvious distress.

[mmmmmarcus]

@nandanugent struggles to articulate?  Are you fucking retarded?

[nandanugent]

@mmmmmarcus OK, agreed his main agenda is clear, but there is also something else going on here, Dawkins is frustrated, look at his body language. He is obviously pissed off but he doesn't seem to be able to deal with it, to get it off his chest. Maybe I am dense, what do think is going on here? Does he crave acceptance or recognition or maybe he is pissed off with Christians who hold power in politics in America?

[Rockster969]

dumb cunt

[chopao11]

I AM CREA-TOR! I WILL DESTROY YOU WITH MY ENORMOUS WALL OF IGNORANCE AND MY CLAWS OF FACT EVADING!

[avth76]

I wonder if he gives satanists and wickans this much of a problem? I wonder if all atheists do.

btw, the blonde chick was D-U-M-B. She frustrated me just listening to her.

[h6hfelie]

@avth76 everytime she laughed dismissively at Dawkins i just wanted to reach through the monitor and kick her in the shinns!

[Saaur2]

OMG...the dumb bitch made my ear bleed....:|

[GodKillerAtheist]

She's reciting Kent Hovind propaganda word for word. What evidence is there for Creationism? Magic? this chick fails beyond failure.

[60dl355]

Fake smiles piss me off.

[livinginoneness9]

there should be a tv show bringing creationists to museums to show them the actual fossals in order of evolution, then again they'd probably just say the devil planted them there.

[GodKillerAtheist]

@livinginoneness9 Creationists don't want facts. even when you show them facts they Reset to their fear of no God and no afterlife and all the lies that Evolution is racist sexist and creates war murder drug use and all the falsehoods that The propagandists implant in their minds

[chairde]

This bitch is dumber than a sack of hammers.

[JoeStunner]

Poor old Dawkins. Imagine having to waste an hour of your life with such a cretinous, delusional hole in the air as this sad woman. What's most disturbing is the fact that this ludicrous Stepford Wife has acquired an apparent level of authority.

[axsimulate]

@axatoramus

Thankfully America is a Republic not a democracy.

[axsimulate]

Wow! That blonde chick has a rock for a brain.

[kkuzucuk]

Her key question : Why is it so important to you that everyone believe in evolution? His untold answer: Because I don't want some people to enjoy the Heaven while I am burning in Hell in case I am wrong! Who has a hidden agenda?

[HalfLifeFan91]

@kkuzucuk - No, because Dawkins cares about education and the truth.

Imagine if NASA tomorrow declared that Turkey doesn't exist, and that it is a myth and you can't visit it because it isn't there - you would also be angry and want everyone to believe that Turkey is real.

[jacobromu]

@kkuzucuk who sayz beleiving in evolution prevents you from going to heaven? Not Muslims, Buddhists, Zoroastrians, Pagans, Hindus, Sikhs, Animists, Native Spiritualists, Atheists, Dischordians, Pastafarians, Rastafarians, Anglicans, Catholics, Orthodox Christians, Conservative Jews, Reform Jews....

[Spetsop]

Richard: "You have blond hair"

Stupid Wendy: "Show me the evidence"

Richard: "Look in the mirror"

Stupid Wendy: "Again I go back to... blah blah blah... show me the evidence that I have blond hair"

Richard: "LOOOK... IN... THE... MIRROR"

Stupid Wendy: "I have, and I don't see this blond hair you're talking about"

UTTER STUPIDITY AND IGNORANCE!!!!!

[Spetsop]

Funny, those societies that are predominantly religious (in the Middle East, USA, South America, Africa, etc.) are some of the most violent ones in the world! Either within themselves, or to other nations!

Most, if not all, nations in Europe are non-religious (if you don't take into account those that immigrate from Middle East now), and their standards of living are much higher! When was the last time they commited violent acts?

[Heroj23]

ignorance is a bliss

[hertzum]

does anyone know a creationist or non-evolutionarist who have good arguments? Names?

[HalfLifeFan91]

@hertzum - There is no such thing.

Evolution is a scientific fact, it is even stronger than gravity. The only reason this woman denies it is because it doesn't work with her Bible.

[kurumako]

I want to slap her.

[DrewsAnimation]

Oh my god, do I pity the guy who is married to that Shit Grinning Zealot Idiot.

[SecularTechnology]

@antjam666

I would approve of your comment but not the "blonde idiot " part.

[jacobromu]

@anolmec What does this have to do with biology?

[CheiniBzzz]

Why has this woman been recorded? Maybe she's O'Reillys (Fox-dude) sister, stupid, only friendlier.

She has been to a museum. In Torino, Italy?

[SAHBfan]

Dawkins:

"I am frustrated because you are ignoring what I am saying"

Stupid woman: "Why are you so afriad of people not accepting evolution?"

Answer: Because morons like her could get the opprortunity to indocrinate our kids so that they grow up as blinkered, close minded and incapable of rational thought as she is...

[GentleSavage1]

this woman is really blonde...

[vinmorin]

good example for people who can't think for them selves.....don't read the bible unless you reach true consciousness

you can do this by small steps like analizing fables first and then when you stop confusing the story to reality you can then start by having a somewhat understanding conversation.

[gravityhatfilms]

At what point do Atheists go and say "Ha! Evolution shows there is no God." They are just stating that creationism and evolution are mutually exclusive. Atheists however have a habit of believing in evidence, they see Evolution as proof that there was no creator who made man, they see our knowledge of science to explain the universe as opposed to religion.

[MementoExpose]

"Have you seen Homo Erectus?" lol

[hartejoseph]

looks like the fanatic has met his match I will stay in the middle and tell you about Atavism putting the design in the the hands of the being and the creator.

[uhf21]

[covertbabo12]

@Smith

Do you know who Abu Bakr was

[covertbabo12]

She has only seen the erectus

[resistanceunion]

Its a part of a documentary OWNING Creationists ... But the movie itself is old thought ..

[covertbabo12]

Well, the real questions are. 1) Why isn't this Palin supporter wearing a hijab if she is religious.

And for Mrs. Dawkins: 2) What is the purpose of being alive if everyone winds up dead forever.

Those are what really needs to be answered.

Instead of just listening to an atheist *triumphantly* announcing that life is meaningless,

and then listening to a Cross-worshipper babbling about DNA.

[JCJ77]

@covertbabo12

1)Palin's religion dictates that the Creator gave her self ownership and she doesn't need another human being to tell her how to dress to comply to some other human being's interpretation of the Word. The authority of God speaks directly to everyone through the Word and it doesn't need a mere human being with a title or funny hat to exercise that authority.

2)Dawkins doesn't study purpose he studies method. Dawkins can be condescending to people who ignore obvious truth.

[covertbabo12]

The obvious truth is that Christianity is a joke.

Especially the American teabagger brand

[JCJ77]

You seem to have little command of whatobvious is,what truth is,what Christianity is and what a joke is.Something that is obvious is something that can be observed, truth is something that isn't false,Christianity is a religion, and a joke is funny. Saying Christianity is a joke is a subjective opinion. Obvious truths can't be based on opinions and can only be based on reality.The"teabagger"movement isn't a religious movement and so can hardly be related to your first sentence.You are the joke.

[csmain]

Science does not work on the notion that something greater made us. if people accepted this then its like whenever we cant explain something or our does not fit in our religion then we just put this creation thing which destroys the purpose of science.

[BeAwareToAvoid]

Quran doesnt contradict science. You can read it if you want and see.

[BrodyLuv2]

Maybe you hadnt' noticed that the Scientists and the Religious folks agree on a moment of Creation called "The Big Bang"..Also,something greater did make us-The Universe-whether or not you consider that Greater than us-We are a part of it and for Me the definition of a G_d is something that without which I would cease to exist-The Universe.

Science just trys to divide the Whole into parts to understand the nature of the Whole.

[csmain]

@BrodyLuv2

yea i was trying to get somewhere there that is science cant prove God exist doesn't mean he doesn't exist its just that science in core works on evidence and if the evidence is wrong then science will throw it away and make a new theory to find out if that way was true you know what i mean.

[BrodyLuv2]

Got Ya'..Yes, I know what You mean.

Peace'n'Stuff.
