Using that mined Darwin quote is incredible; hard to decide whether it adds weight to the hypothesis that Ray's a cynical, lying scum-bag or simply that stupid himself. And I'm not sure which would be worse.
Even if you only see that quote without the sentence that followed it, come on! If you don't know that "seems, I freely confess, absurd" does NOT mean "IS absurd", you're seriously lacking in English comprehension skills and clearly not qualified to debate your way out of a paper bag.
Darwin's undeniable link with Hitler: 1) AH did not, as most creationists repeatedly lie, refer to Darwin in Mein Kampf - not even once. 2) AH denied speciation was possible and called such ideas an affront to the Lord. 3) There is no record of AH ever mentioning Darwin, in public or private, but he must have done as Darwin's famous book, along with all writings referring to it, was on the Nazi forbidden reading list, removed from all libraries & wherever it was found and burned.
Ray Comfort is an odd sort. Why are some personality types prone to this one road thought process? That's the key. There are folks who behave this way who haven't gone the religious route but 'see' only one way in other core beliefs/behaviors. Weird psychological phenomena in my opinion. Thankfully most of these folks never get to be a huge threat. In this amateur analysis I equate a Hitler with a Ray Comfort. Same one track...diff. message maybe but same unyielding 'one-way' thought process.
oh, I just visited your t-shirt store. Those are wonderful examples of communicating without being "over-the-top". They incite questions and dialogue. I wish you all the best in this new business venture. :D I love it when Richard Dawkins' wears his crocoduck tie.
If the offending part of the book is just the introduction, how about just tearing it out?The torn out section would make good campfire lighting material, but likely too rough for toilet paper.
But do we care what a man who came up with the foundational idea of the Theory of Evolution believed. Today his ideas are still around, they are not biased through ideas of faith. Like Qdragon says, it does not matter.. It does not matter how you think, just how accurate your thought are, and if they are not they are not wort thinking, at least that my take on this.
Darwin began his adult life studying for the clergy (there's an irony!)
But when he was offered the once-in-a-lifetime chance to travel around the world on The Beagle, he changed his mind when seeing the natural world and also the terrible treatment that humans were capable of meting out to each other.
Deism was probably where he was until he really researched his new theory.
When his 1st daughter died of a genetic disease caused by his marriage to his cousin, he lost all faith in a God.
good video, but I don't like the way you nearly didn't qualify the statement about science knowing a lot. Science does know alot about what we can observe, but there may be something different going on that would explain things in more detail, even in things that there is a lot of evidence, we still may yet to say "this was a decent model, but it wasn't correct"
You neglected to mention Hitler's undeniable link with mustaches. Anyone with a mustache is a threat to the Jews. Music, too. Every time I hear Wagner, I feel like invading Poland.
It sounds like you are talking about [virtual particle] which is revealed by the Casimir effect, and which has a slight relation to zero-point energy...
Well, if anyone had any doubts about their bias before, it should be totaly clear now!
They've used every old debunked argument in the book which anyone who actualy reads the book beyond that introduction will understand how full of shit they are!
What if Comfort very well knows that he's talking about a thesis without basis? I can't believe someone who has actually opened a book about evolution or genetics actually could sit there and truly believe evolution says such silly things. Like the latest video I saw of him, where he states a dog must have evolved next to a female dog to be able to breed and seems to imply dogs evolved directly from something without eyes, tail or genitalia.
They asked him if there was any way creationism could have happened. He said aliens that came about by Darwinian means could have seeded things here. It was when they lied to him about his interview for "Expelled."
He said that it was a possibility, posited by some, though he doesn't think that's how it happened. They then quotemined him to suggest that he thinks aliens put us here.
3:10 There is also an "undeniable link" between Hitler and art since he was a painter before becoming a dictator! Art caused the holocaust! GASP! Art is EVIL! Destroy all art!
Oh, man... Darwin was no more a racist or sexist in his day than any other progressive thinker of the time. In fact, he was very much against slavery, and wrote about how it disturbed him. But like you said, it doesn't even matter.
And how many of us have to debunk the eye argument before the creationists get it through their thick skulls?!
I wish Ray and Kirk would use actual arguments and points so people wouldn't have to make these kinds of vids... not to say that this isn't a good vid, it's another great one Q, nice job!

To give Comfort his due - he begins the introduction with a potted history of Darwin's life which seems to ring true.
Then the bullshit starts.
And by the end of the 50 pages, it's all "be saved through Jesus or burn in hell" stuff - any pretense to impartiality is completely gone.
It really is pathetic.
