If my mother or aunt watched this they would freak out! LOL Yes, they are religious. I wish every class taught evolution in such a manner. It's science and it's the truth!
@dancthegr - actually, science does a fair job of explaining morals and ethics. It turns out, some behaviors are counterproductive for the species, or the familial gene group. If you produce thousands of offspring, it's okay to cannibalize them. If, on the other hand, you are a social animal with a low birthrate, (i.e. humans), such behavior produces a negative impact on the survival of your immediate gene pool, and your species.
@dancthegr - well, that's because genes are deterministic. Sorry. Yes, your environment plays a role, but to a large extent, who you are is largely who you would be at the moment of fertilization. The Neubauer and other studies, involving separated twins and adopted children, suggest strongly that even in significantly different environments, the same genes produce the same personalities. Even whether you like broccoli or not turns out to be genetic.
@47f0 genes are not deterministic. The only genes tell you is physicality, such as I colour. Even height is determined by environment as in world war 1 the officers were on average 6 inches taller than the privates
@dancthegr - Hey, I cited probably the most authoritative study, and there are similar studies in other countries. If you can't bother to become educated that's your call. As far as taller officers - guess what. It turns out that business managers also tend to be taller. You're looking at the wrong end of the horse mate - tall, attractive men tend to get promoted, both in the military and in civilian life. And I can cite those studies too. Wanna know about the broccoli gene?
@47f0 Oh no I am educated- look at education results.... is that to do with genetics or enviroment. If you say genetics then it is similar to nazi ideals
@dancthegr - "Oh no I am educated- look at education results" WTF does that even mean? Which education results? The ones where you can't even be bothered to check actual studies I mentioned? Great "education results". Much of who we are, not all, but much, is in the genes. But that idea disturbs you, so you're never, ever going to let the facts stand in your way. So have a pleasant, and thoroughly delusional day.
@47f0 Education results with the factors of working classes, race and gender taken into account. Even intellegence is based on socialisation and class; the more money you have, the better you will do.
@dancthegr are you really that dumb? talking about nazi ideals :-S ofcourse much of it is from genetics.. dont you know that? please dont go into a conversation which you know nothing about.. aquire information, facts then talk about the subject. dont trow something out there which is wrong
@oaaserud stop being absurd- a lot of intelligence levels are not genetic but are simply socialisation. If a child is born into a family of doctors and they later get a 1st class honours degree are you saying that the person achieved higher grades simply because they are more "genetically" able. Talking about "dumbness"- that's very one sided
@dancthegr 'Science cant prove everything', so what? That doesnt entail using unscientific random theories as a substitute...
As for there being no role of genetics in intelligence, i think ull find the brain is an organ like any other and therefore will always have some % of gentic weakness and strength passed down the line. U are right in that this isnt the biggest determining factor tho, education standard, willingness to learn, money, health and mostly curiosity will play bigger roles.
@OnlinePokerCowboy good point but what I am saying is that many arrogant scientists think that the only thing that matters is genetic coding; which isn't always the case= sociological, psychological and political theories are just as important
@dancthegr I dont know much about the subject, or the studies ur talking about, but i have heard of associating genetics with 'super genius's', with a possible outcome they were hoping for being able to predict if a child was capable of doing extraudinary things from as young as 3 or 4 through genetics and brain scanning.
This isnt arrogant, the fact genetics do influence someones base intelligence could render certain individuals incapable of accomplishing what people like Einstein have.
@OnlinePokerCowboy I agree= but if you look at these "super geniuses" most come from middle class upbringing suggesting that they would always push their child's intelligence. Therefore genetics is not the only reason for intelligence or anything else for that matter. in WW1, British officers were on average 5 inches taller than privates

The evidence is a personal expierience. Feeling the holy ghost, Seeing auras, hearing his voice, developing a strong conscience, losing interest in bad things, attracting different people and expieriences into your life, having an increased knowledge and understanding instantly, feeling more loving, feeling a presence, feeling content, feeling the hole that seems to consume everything become filled, noticing more coincidences, having strong intuition, seeing the effects of karma. all these.
@jasonwkeller76 The human mind is capable of many illusions. You would mistake a shadow for a robber yet not a robber for a shadow, and that's just the tip of the iceberg. Many people hear voices, when you believe you are going to hear a voice, it isn't a huge leap for your mind to create one.

@jasonwkeller76 karma comes from the Hindu tradition.. and Christ is the only TRUE God.. remember?? Jesus didn't say shit about karmas.. oh well I guess your intuition from the Holy Ghost just failed.. ha go figure.
@jasonwkeller76 - feeling, however intense, is not necessarily evidence. Being an old hippie, I've had not only feelings, but full-blown sensory experiences that FELT very real, but were just my neural circuitry and some assorted chemicals lying to me. There is no objective reason to justify your mysticism, nor is it required to be loving, content and moral. Too many old bastards living long and well to justify Karma, and noticing coincidences is what our pattern-matching brain does.
Lets face it, religion will most likely disappear in the following centuries. Let's enjoy the laughs and controversy we get out of it. Every story you know about religion will get demolished faster and faster with the years going by. During WW2 when Italy rose up against Mussolini and allowed Germany to occupy itself including Rome. The pope pretty much allowed the execution of Jews as it had no real power. Every example shows just how skewed or stupid the religion beliefs are and what goes on.
I believe children would be so happy to learn about evolution. Evolution makes me so happy in a way my religion never did. I got choked up to see the children say they enjoyed the lecture. Such a beautiful thing to see.
Obscure fact: The First chapter of Genesis no where mentions the word "day" in the Hebrew, from which the English is derived. Indeed, the word it mentions is more accurately translated as "lifetime or lifetimes; ages." Use a concordance.
But we wouldn't want to needlessly slander those horrible folks that want to keep us from doing the sorts of things we evolved morals to keep us from doing, like killing said children before they are born.
@UCBitter - not-so-obscure fact. Embryos are not children. It's pretty simple, really. You can't just call any lump of human tissue a human. Otherwise, your doctor could never burn off a wart. God is undoubtedly the biggest abortionist there is. Most fertilized eggs don't implant, and many of those that do implant end up as miscarriages. These are facts. Calling an embryo a child, or a baby is just overly emotionally loaded bilge.
The fact is that, even if "God" did exist, I would still rather be without that absolute nonsense.. and even go to "Hell". And "God" would necessarily turn out to be that monster of absolutism, anger, cruelty and stupidity that already is in the eyes of humanist and real science.
0:24 It looks as though DNA is working on his interactive fiction game there (though I don't recognize the part)... man, getting the Babel Fish was hilarious. :P
Did it arise out of nothing? The first question one would ask is "where did nothing come from" or "what is nothing" or, "if nothing can become somthing, CAN somthing become nothing" Does NOTHING even exist?
@paulio2293 Focus on the bit where I said *coherent*, as in the questions you posed aren't coherent; aren't cogent; are incoherent; unintelligible; gibberish - largely because you make the categorical error of mistaking, "nothing", for something. The *only* attribute you can ascribe to nothing, is the absence thereof. Evidentially, you don't even understand your own questions; you must be stupid (no offence).
beautiful, awesome, astounding :) Its so ironic people dislike you for you atheistic beliefs when you service to humanity is more than all the faith healers, mystic indian yogis, mullahs etc. Sir Dawkins, you're a real champ :)
In my lifetime, I can only hope to achieve a fraction of the postive influence that Richard Dawkins has provided the world. Instead of "the girl" standing in place for Jesus, it should have been Richard.
I must admit i'm a bit jealous of those kids (in a good sort of way). And they're being taught by Richard Dawkins no less. How cool is that. :-)
I wish somebody had taken the time to teach me about evolution when i was a child. The subject never even came up in my high school biology classes. And it's not like i was on a religious school or anything. I guess they just never bothered.
At least i got to read Darwin's book later; i'm happy about that. :-)
@kaimaster11 Well yeah, but David Attenborough is an atheist with similar views as Dawkins and he has been knighted. I guess it just isn't entirely fair, who get's picked...
@FLUSEM666 Why should he be knighted? What significant contribution has he given the people of the UK other than to bash religion? Personal opinion and attacks aside and no ad hominem opinions. Has he done something worthy of knighthood?
The first Professor for the Public Understanding of Science at Oxford University. He is a master at explaining scientific concepts and has authored best selling books to that end.
By far his most and important achievement is to encourage the ongoing struggle against belief without evidence. Combating illogical and non questioning attitudes in religion. In that he is unquestionably role model for us all!
@FLUSEM666 Why is it that some history reported is believed without refute yet Christianity while even mentioned by some secular historians has to be mythology.
@drjackflash It isn't. And if someone does believe it without refute, they should be smacked. But Christian history is mythology because it is presented as such. What might be facts about that religion, is buried within concepts no more serious than a Marvel comic book.
@drjackflash It isn't. And if someone does believe it without refute, they should be smacked. But Christian history is mythology because it is presented as such. What might be facts about religion, is buried within concepts no more serious than a Marvel comic book.
'Some' history is constantly under the scrutiny of the historians ( lack of evidence for the evidence – I guess ?) and, 'some' history is accepted because of overwhelming evidence for the events.
Christianity is an extremely well documented event in the history of our civilization ( ( it lasts well established till nowadays ) and, there is no reason for refuting it. It is there, alive and kicking healthy. Possibly – the greatest historical mythology ever existed.
Even much older Buddhism and Hinduism and several hundreds of other religious mythologies and theistic faiths - are not as well documented and described as that of Christianity.
No historian ever could argue about the existence of Christianity. It’s there. Around us. Incredibly disturbing historical event for every thinking mind on the planet. A myth, with its middle finger stretched out far and high. A 'gotch'ya" myth. Offensively stinky myth.
Compare these 10 second to the entire time you've spent on your knees, praying and begging, and apologizing in a total humilation, among thousands of other people doing exactly the same.
Degrading yourself to a being so primitive and undeveloped that needs a god's whip over his/her bent forward back, just to know how behave, to act, to live, to breathe, to think.
Christainity is here to stay for a quite some time, yet. There are billions like you for not to feel lonely.
I must say Dawkins is doing a very good job making the subject interesting and getting through to the children. For a lot of them I think this lesson will present them to a whole new view of the world and of humanity, something that they will take with them for the rest of their lives. It must be quite rewarding to get to do that kind of teaching.
That's only if it's ever allowed to be taught to them in the way it should. I only wish I'd been taught these things when I was growing up. I have no doubt in my mind that I would be an evolutionary biologist right now.
Obviously there is no such thing as god. But the developing nations dont know that. Im athiest but we need to spread christianity through developing coutries so they dont become muslim and start bombing us all.
I like my western rich lifestyle thankyou very much.
Are you (perhaps) religious?(if so that's your problem!)
"Monkey see, monkey do." Well of course they are indeed young apes these young humans and they were learning(facts)so good for them and well done to Dickie!
Its okay. I just hear too much of it in this day and age.
1) I'm into astrobiology. Read around, and you'll see better ways of illustrating evolution than what he did.
2) I am religious. How's that a problem? The founding fathers, while not all Christians, were all deists, and took theology VERY seriously. A lot of our politics are in fact built around theology, even if not cited.
3) Facts in the wrong hands are terrible things. Of course, these are kids, but still.
There may well be "Better" Ways of explaining evolution but he was addressing kids(so he tried to make it entertaining)encouraged participation and as long as he got the basic concept accross then the jobs done!
Being religious means you are prone to delusion.
Morality and ethics exist inspite of religion!
It stultifies peoples capacity for rational thought.
"Facts in the wrong hands are terrible things."
Like the knowledge of how to make explosives in the hands of a murderous religious nut?
I see where you are coming from, but I'm pretty sure "coveting" is something more along the lines of "thinking about stealing." Saying "I'm going to go get an possession that is the same thing as what a neighbor has by my own toil" is not covetous at all. Though honestly, I think one should take the role of the Bishop from Les Miserables, and use what is not needed to give what is needed to those who don't have. "He must increase, but I must decrease."
6) Be honest yourself. I think you need to look into the hippies who tried to start their own commune.
7) Like Hollywood plots?
8) What exceptions? When talking to a third world dictator? Not even then! Tell him the truth: "Our guns are pointed in your direction."
9) I'm surprised you passed Kindergarden with a mindset like that. And yes, it does hurt people. It causes distrust, envy, and strife, and even subconscious body language proves that.
10) That one actually means "don't be a socialist."
Evaluation of the ten commandments: 1. No other gods. Useless. 2. Not misuse the name of your god Unimpressive language advice 3. Sabbath day Useless, it is wise to work on the days which best fits both ones employer/customer and ones private life 4. Honour your father and mother Poor advice. Parents should be honoured only if they deserve it. 5. Thou shalt not kill OK, except in self defence. Not invented by the bible...
1) Depends on your definition of a God. Not useless.
2) Actually, it says "You shalt not take the Lord's name in vain," meaning "Don't call on the Lord when you're not Christian." But of course, in any sense, it means don't be a vulgar idiot.
3) Not true. The body works best when given a 1 day out of 7 break.
4) You misunderstood it again. Honor doesn't mean obey OR respect.
5) Actually, no surrounding culture came up with that on their own. Most of them were quite brutal.
As for science being "uplifting," what a joke. Science isn't supposed to be uplifting---its quite literally a gift from God, and gifts from God aren't uplifting ones. They are ones that dwarf humanity, and drive him to the brink of insanity. They are ones that when abused can kill you.
And he's wrong---evolution isn't gradual. Its sporadic. Its sudden. Only when a species has no selective pressure applied does it move along slowly. That's because progress is death. What we need is reformation.
I have yet to find even one real piece of general wisdom coming from a religious book. I asked friends who read a lot in the Bible to come up with one piece of advice that would be generally useful. However, they failed even to find anything to suggest to me.
The golden rule might have qualified, but it was mentioned in writings by Confucius long before the Bible was written.
If anybody has found any general wisdom in the Bible or Quran, please let me know! :-)
UCBitter, it does not really matter if we use the word "common" or "general" wisdom.
I cannot find any useful piece of advice in the ten commandments. Of course, there is the "be honest" parts but that is not very original. The advantages of honesty must have been known long before the bible.
Note that I would happily accept any useful advice taken from any religious book, regardless of whether everything else in that book is false and/or evil. I am just curious.
1) Yes it does. General means basics, common means accepted. And yes, I can. I will get to that in a moment.
2) The only source we have on whether or not that second paragraph is true is the Bible.
3) What is your definition of useful advice? If you want useful advice, I'd suggest starting a pyramid scheme. Those are useful. They are not, however, honest. Though honestly, anyone who would fall for one would deserve it (as it takes a predatory mind to think you'd get away with that.)
You know, 'cuz if you get sick on sunday (or saturday..sometimes even monday) You should just die. KILL THOSE DOCTORS WORKING ON THE SABBATH!
All them famous people need to die too...bastards becomeing idols.
Oh you want your neighbors car? saveing up to get it? OH GOD YOU'VE COMMITED A SIN!
Yes, the 10 commandments are awful. Depending on which religion you follow at least 3 of them are completely ignored today, even by christians. The sabbath was originally a Saturday, but that got moved.
@Yoshimiko951 I think you have committed the same error the Pharisees did in your interpretation of the Sabbath. The Sabbath is to be a day of general relaxation from mundane tasks, to purge oneself of worry and regret.
As for famous folk, the punishment I had in mind was mere anonymity. Your satire of my perspective is ridiculous on this front.
"Coveting" means desiring to acquire from their hands, to better yourself above them.
@UCBitter "I think you have committed the same error the Pharisees did in your interpretation of the Sabbath. The Sabbath is to be a day of general relaxation from mundane tasks, to purge oneself of worry and regret"
And if you don't rest on the sabbath, what is the punishment prescribed by god?
@Yoshimiko951 Funny how the enlightened puritans of today, those being the left wing, are SO FREAKING OBSESSED with the material world, Puritanical hedonism, the perfect concoction to wreck a society.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
oh HE is a FOOL? HAAA! I think Dawkins can be called far worse.. For him to teach this As FACT, like he is doing, as if mankind KNOWS it to be TRUE IS WRONG., WE DON'T know it to be true,.But you wont HEAR HIM SAY ANYTHING LIKE "This is what scientists THINK".Listen to the childrens answers. They are taking it as FACT. And NOBODY KNOWS how life got started Even if it WAS Bacteria, THAT had to come from something that was LIVING. LIFE cannot come from nothing. Life ONLY comes FROM LIFE.
If evolution is not a Fact - then nothing is knowable. 10's of thousands of individual pieces of evidence/facts join together to support a hypothesis which then we call a theory -- And then when even more facts/evidence support the theory then we call the theory a fact. Do you know about the 10' of thousands of pieces of data that support our understanding of evolution? Give me a break - this is not just opinion.
Psalm 14:1 The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God.
Romans 1:20 For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse.
Or... Try obtianing a degree from a prestigious university that takes years to achieve just to understand a little bit of what actually goes on in the world.

Every story you know about religion will get demolished faster and faster with the years going by. During WW2 when Italy rose up against Mussolini and allowed Germany to occupy itself including Rome. The pope pretty much allowed the execution of Jews as it had no real power. Every example shows just how skewed or stupid the religion beliefs are and what goes on.

@tonymontana1996 Overly emotional, much?
Obscure fact: The First chapter of Genesis no where mentions the word "day" in the Hebrew, from which the English is derived. Indeed, the word it mentions is more accurately translated as "lifetime or lifetimes; ages." Use a concordance.
But we wouldn't want to needlessly slander those horrible folks that want to keep us from doing the sorts of things we evolved morals to keep us from doing, like killing said children before they are born.

@UCBitter - not-so-obscure fact. Embryos are not children. It's pretty simple, really. You can't just call any lump of human tissue a human. Otherwise, your doctor could never burn off a wart. God is undoubtedly the biggest abortionist there is. Most fertilized eggs don't implant, and many of those that do implant end up as miscarriages. These are facts. Calling an embryo a child, or a baby is just overly emotionally loaded bilge.

'Some' history is constantly under the scrutiny of the historians ( lack of evidence for the evidence – I guess ?) and, 'some' history is accepted because of overwhelming evidence for the events.
Christianity is an extremely well documented event in the history of our civilization ( ( it lasts well established till nowadays ) and, there is no reason for refuting it. It is there, alive and kicking healthy. Possibly – the greatest historical mythology ever existed.

Even much older Buddhism and Hinduism and several hundreds of other religious mythologies and theistic faiths - are not as well documented and described as that of Christianity.
No historian ever could argue about the existence of Christianity. It’s there. Around us. Incredibly disturbing historical event for every thinking mind on the planet. A myth, with its middle finger stretched out far and high. A 'gotch'ya" myth. Offensively stinky myth.

I see where you are coming from, but I'm pretty sure "coveting" is something more along the lines of "thinking about stealing." Saying "I'm going to go get an possession that is the same thing as what a neighbor has by my own toil" is not covetous at all.

As for science being "uplifting," what a joke. Science isn't supposed to be uplifting---its quite literally a gift from God, and gifts from God aren't uplifting ones. They are ones that dwarf humanity, and drive him to the brink of insanity. They are ones that when abused can kill you.
And he's wrong---evolution isn't gradual. Its sporadic. Its sudden. Only when a species has no selective pressure applied does it move along slowly. That's because progress is death. What we need is reformation.

Note that I would happily accept any useful advice taken from any religious book, regardless of whether everything else in that book is false and/or evil. I am just curious.
