  • IDIOT

  • nothing intelligent about the design of the universe or a human STOP CALLING IT INTELLLIGENT DESIGN YOU MORONS

  • I don't have the patience to reason with no minds like this. I'm glad someone does.

  • Matts hair is long and why did he shave his goatee?

  • There's an extraordinary claim that life on earth arose by random chance.Science demonstrates that life arises from life,and not from non-life.

    Extraordinary claims of life arising from nonlife requires extraordinary evidence.Actually there is none whatsoever:it is a claim based entirely on belief.

  • @TheEaglestar1 So, you are saying that chemistry is entirely based on belief. If you look up at the actual structure of DNA and RNA polymerases, you would realize that are, not only chemically possible, but also chemically probable. Maybe you need to reed more about amino-acids, proteins, enzymes, and polymerases.

  • @alelp My friend,chemistry is observable and repeatable and we can conclude scientifically of the results of chemical experiments.

    From a biological perspective,continuation of generations is observable and repeatable and we can conclude scientifically that life comes from living organisms.

    What cannot be observed or repeated is the origin of life.It is entirely a matter of belief,of speculation,of trust(faith).If you trust in the Bible,it refers to God creating life.

  • @TheEaglestar1 You are making a distinction where there isnt, DNA and RNA polymerases are molecules, they build up the blocks of life, but they are not a form of life in their-self, so your argument is fallacious.

  • @alelp If you trust in random chance,your belief is that life arose randomly from nonlife.

    The observable science which operates every day with births is that life arises from life.It is more scientific therefore to support the hypothesis that life originated from a living entity than randomly.

    If you are to question then,"who made God?",that is not the same issue as we do not observe God or gods being created repeatably over a statistically significant sample size.

  • @TheEaglestar1 Also, science did prove that life arise from life (birth, cell reproduction, etc), but didnt prove that life does not arise from non-life. You cant prove a negative...

  • i only waste so much time and effort to disprove theism because it is changing the way we live and it dramatically slowed down scientific development for thousands of years.

  • The caller is proof we need better science education.

  • Religion is like a soap opera (people actually believe it`s true)

  • I'm an atheist and I believe in logic.

  • "How we heal?" Starfish and lizards can grow back a limb. When we lose a limb, it's gone forever. Birds of prey have better eyes than we do.

  • Don't call a radio show unless you can speak properly.

  • God exist because I feel it..even thought there is no evidence otherwise. God will make us better in 1,000 years, you'll see, we'll be able to fly into outerspace without a rocket or spacesuit and also become invisible at will. He's working on it, give him time. I wish you understood my god like I do, he makes me feel good, it's like having an orgasm every time I think of how he designed the world just for us.

  • @cycorealm35 What you describe could be said the same for people who do heroin or LSD.

  • @cycorealm35 "He designed the world for us", but only less than 0,0000000000000000000000000000­000000000000000000000000000000­000000000001 percent of it is habitable for us...

  • MATT DILLAHUNTY! JEFF DEE! MARTIN WAGNER! You are all going to hell for being Atheist and you deserve it! But boy am I glad I'll meet you there so we can discuss the existence of our no longer existence and other cool sciency stuff. :S

  • @539forgotten I'll see you there too. Party time, instead of being all bored praising the evil Hebrew Mythology god for eternity. Can't wait for those intellectual conversations!

  • I think ppl are being unfair with their comments on this caller. He's not being ignorant. He's explaining his views and when he doesn't know something he just says "I don't know" and if you ask me that's a more educated answer than "Questions are the work of the devil!"

  • @Zaltor2 isnt ignorance not knowing? so i fhe dosnt know anything wouldnt that make him ignorant?

  • @gojoewhite1234 Point 1: If you're going to ask a question about ignorance it'd be in your interest not to make so many spelling mistakes.

    Point 2: Nobody knows everything, therefore everybody is ignorant.

    Point 3: I'm not saying god exists. I'm saying don't be too hard on those who says that he does

  • @Zaltor2 what?

  • @Zaltor2 1. you seem to want to attack my integrity by pointing out my spelling errors. By doing that you seem to think that will discredit anything i have to say

    2.if want to have a real talk about this show then pls send me a message. hard to talk with limited space.

    3. point of this show is to open peoples eyes. show hypocrisy and ignorance in peoples faith. this man doesn't know what to say showing ignorance and believing what he/they want to believe.

  • @gojoewhite1234 1. That was just a suggestion, integrity was not in question

    2. I assure you we might end up realizing we have very similar opinions

    3. I love this show and I know faith is not a virtue, it's a way to control ppl by brain washing them since childhood. Unfortunately, calling them ignorants is not going to win them over.

  • @Zaltor2 1. i understand its a suggestion. but how it sounded by attacking my spelling

    2. im sure we are similar. but like said if want to talk more can message me instead of talking on here

    3.i like the show also. i belive that also. but lastly being called ignorant isn't a insult. im ignorant to how an engine works. im ignorant to how a video games are mead. dosnt meen your stupid, retarded or ect. just meens you dont know. not knowing has nothing to do with intelect.

  • @gojoewhite1234 1. Why r we still replying to each other by making 3 points? ;-)

    2. How do I message you?

    3. I was trying to message u and I ended up to your channel. Cool dude! I too like street fighter, dragon ball, one piece and halo is good, but I prefer Skyrim

  • Yeah the caller is ignorant, but I've heard WAY WAY worse on this show. He was one of the better callers.

  • I like the Atheist experience show, Jeff Dee is my favorite, then Matt, but I like them all!

  • I wana know if this dude doesn't care why did he call in in the first place? I like people who just utter inane shit and then they gotta use a shit ton of words to utter what is on their mind. Caller sounds like he's doing audible back flips he's two minutes from stttttuuutteering.. ah ah ahah haah or what ever...

  • John got his ass kicked.

  • I never cease to be amazed by the stupidity of Christians.

  • Continued... They should've taken the time to listen to this mans opinion. The truth is that no one knows the truth. In this case, the atheists looked like fools. There is proof that god does not exist, and there is no written proof that he does. Faith is what we all have in in common. Faith in god, and faith in science. Accept both and the world would be a better place.

  • @greaseizdaword

    science in testable.

    god is not.

    just because something is written, doesn't mean its true either.

  • @greaseizdaword I don't have faith in science, I trust science, there's a difference. Faith is believing blindly without asking questions. Trust has to be earned with facts and results.

  • The host do a horrible job of representing atheism. Instead attempting to belittle the caller, they should've taken to

  • Can you even see yourselves turning into angry little trolls?

    "this guy who believes in intelligent design actually has some ok points, he is an agnostic but not a crazy religious person, I can see his points" -SalyanPrincess18

    Finally someone who thinks responsibly, no anger at all, and no need to insult the children and families who believe in god. To the stupid ones, stop acting arrogant and pretending Christians are all homer simpsons. It's old and shows insecurity in your own argument.

  • this guy who believes in intelligent design actually has some ok points, he is an agnostic but not a crazy religious person, I can see his points,

  • lol christians are fucking silly

  • Great question by the caller. Still haven't heard a logical answer to the question.

  • The host is making a very crucial mistake. She says intelligent design is a "hypothesis" when actualy it's much less than that, it's only a believe. That would be the same as saying that "religion is an hypothesis". Religion and ID don't reach the level of hypothesis because they are not base on logical thinking but in religious thinking

  • I am so tired of this "everything is so perfect" design argument.

    If we were three feet tall with 7 arms and had blue skin, IDers would still say we are all so perfect.

  • Ahhhhhhh he has an imaginary fwiend howwwwww pwecious!!!!!

  • Linda's first response to John is fantastic. I've used this (not word for word of course) on multiple occasions.

  • Linda Raymond did fantastically. Why do I never see her on the show anymore?!

  • thank science <3

  • I dont think this lady did that good a job in trying to make this guy realise that his intelligent design idea was flawed. Matt would have wiped the foor with him.

  • This lady did an awesome job! Had not seen her before.

  • Ignorance and arrogance are a potent mix.

  • Comment removed

  • sorry, but Intelligent Design is not a hypthesis. It is an untested idea. A hypothesis is an educated guess. The key word is educated.

  • "I don't know what 'atheist' means so you should change the name of your show."

  • JOHN is just another DICKHEAD..he has no logic hence his belief in intelligent design. INTELLIGENT DESIGN is not theory nor is it a hypothesis, it is a guess, and a really bad guess at that..For those of you who support it you are just idiotic morons

  • This is classic ignorance and medieval mentality. The man knows nothing, refuses to learn anything, and then throws out beliefs about the universe which happen to be psychologically satisfying to him. It is a tragedy for a human being to miss the point and the importance of the scientific development we have experienced during the past several centuries.

  • Don't pray in my school and I won't think in your church.

  • @jeremythehuman Brilliant!

  • Why does a designer for life, or anything for that matter, HAVE to be intelligent? Why can't it just react with other things naturally, and design something out of total coincidence? Well..it can. We've proven it, and shown it several times. I wish religious people would at least understand that evolution is pretty much proven as fact, and things can happen without any direction.

  • This guy sure doesn't "care" a lot about pretty much everything.

  • Even though I don't believe in the devil, that song is still in my top ten of all-time best country songs ever.

  • "Omnipotent to SOME DEGREE?" WHAT did he just say???

    You CAN'T be ALL-POWERFUL to some degree - it would be like being "slightly infinite".

    And I love the idea that god has to have another go at designing us because his first crack didn't get it quite right. The guy's reason for believing ID - "humans are uniform and symmetrical" - is both hilarious and sad; if he found a perfectly round pebble at the bottom of a river would he conclude it was designed?

  • @pyrobryan You took the words right out of my mouth!

  • They should change their name because he doesn't understand what the words mean.

  • This video made me miss Matt Dillahunty's capabilities for clear, rational and convincing arguments. Because as much as I agree with the two host's position, they were pretty bad at making their point about Intelligent Design not being scientific...

  • A closed mind keeps the shit in and the good stuff out.

  • @sufian2k6 And then there is the stupid mind which cannot contain anything other than shit.

  • Yet another delusional caller who knows nothing about Evolution, the Scientific Method, or Reason for that matter. Sad. :O/

    Katalyzt

  • no fat chicks, except Linda, she is awesome

  • This call is either a put-on or he is a moe-ron.

  • Linda Raymond is HARDCORE. Where is she these days? We need her back!

  • painfully, painfully, PAINFULLY ignorant. This was torture!

  • @djb12030 Torture? It was hilarious!

  • @IFUCKINGLOVEYOUTOO It's torture to accept that people are actually this stupid

  • @MarcusEFN True. Hope for humanity is lost. Unless we can use reason and advance. We could have had people on Mars by now if it weren't for damn religion.

  • @IFUCKINGLOVEYOUTOO Religion has held back our scientific research for many years. Though Atheism is growing very quickly. There is hope so long as people will start using the brain that they have

  • I like this caller for 2 reasons:

    1) He's polite.

    2) He's honest.

    Also can anyone tell me the name of this song?

  • @MrReasonFTW The Devil Went Down to Georgia, by the Charlie Daniels Band

  • @Nidair Thanks

  • This caller is not as much of an idiot as most of the other callers...

  • That's the thing I don't like about religion. It teaches people not to think much. You have to teach kids morality some how, it's easy just to scare the shit out of them. In the end you can get some really myopic adults.

  • That caller was ignorant on theories and hypothesis.

    The only thing I have to call out the host on is that Intelligent Design can't even count as a hypothesis. It would barely count as an idea in science.

  • The stupid is strong with this caller. He just won't listen, will never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever listen to any evidence. How people like this, breathe on their own is hard to understand. Because by evidence someone would have to be there to tell him how and when to breathe.

  • Reason is your god. Now we can go on and on but a lots of things happen in life that defy statistics and reason. Life is full of million to one odds, and strange manifestations of higher consciousnesses. It is my belief, and it may defy your reason, but not my own, that life is a SEA of intelligence, both physical and metaphysical. But Metaphysics is not so whacky, when you consider all of the information that can be channeled by for instance a simple wire, or a wi fi signal through the air

  • So Atheists just have it all figured out I guess. The closest thing to God is man, and life is only what you make it. The Effect is really the cause, and Vice-Versa. And "I" am really just a bi-product of biological processes. This body was not made as a vessel for me to experience life, but "I" am just the result of the processes of this body. body, which for some reason my consciousness fits right into like a 5 pointed glove. Nice.

  • Well if there is no intelligence behind life, then what's the point in reproduction?

  • @skytrooper1980: "if there is no intelligence behind life, then what's the point in reproduction?"

    Why does there have to be a point?

    Look, there is NO "master plan" or "ultimate purpose" to the universe. What you see is what you get, that's it. It may interfere with your desire to believe in magical omnipotent beings, but that's too bad.

  • @mikefromwa Well if there was no point to reproduction, I doubt that anything WOULD reproduce. You say that what you see is what you get? Well there seems to be a lot going on that we can not see. Just because you have personally never seen something or had an experience with something does not mean that you never will or that it doesn't exist. And who says a being has to be omnipotent to be magical? And who says magic is even what you think it is? Magic and Science are the same thing.

  • @skytrooper1980: "Magic and Science are the same thing."

    That's an amazingly stupid thing to say. It shows that you're incapable of rational thought or critical thinking. Or any kind of thinking.

    Hint: They're *not* the same thing. (Hmmm, maybe that's why there are two different words for them.) "Magic" and "science" are at completely opposite ends of the spectrum in terms of meaning.

    "You say that what you see is what you get?"

    Yes, that's right. Get used to it.

  • @skytrooper1980: "Well if there was no point to reproduction, I doubt that anything WOULD reproduce."

    Reproduction doesn't indicate some mysterious "intelligence behind life". Bacteria and trees reproduce; are you telling me they're intelligent? That there is some mystical force guiding their actions? Lol, please. Get a grip and stop thinking there's some special plan or master purpose to all of this. If so, please tell me what part do liver cancer and cavities play in god's Master Plan.

  • Science cures diseases?! I was told that was god. And what you mean the egg came first? God made all the animals the way they are, then they laid eggs. lol :)

  • Check it out! Around 10:08 it gets really funny. The people who designed the 1972 AMC Gremlin did the best they could do at the time & IN THE BEGINNING while designing mankind - Yahweh, did the best he could do - at the time.

  • Did this guy even listen after he asks a question?

  • I like this "Linda Raymond" They should have her on the show again.

    Katalyzt

  • This caller is a phaggot.

  • @TheOptimistPrime Actually, if you watch much more of the show you willl see countless people coming on praising (no pub int') the hosts for giving them the strength to 'come out'. Or, that the show at least let's them know they are not alone. Ultimately, even if only a few people are effected and they were even teetering on the edge -- the show has it's place and it is not chest thumping.

  • What a nice guy.

  • BIRDS DON'T HAVE BACKWARDS KNEES. THAT'S THE HEEL.

  • I AM SO FUCKING tired of what came first the chicken or the egg, so fuckign annoyng it was egg period

  • @kainniak1 It was proto-chicken.

  • @kainniak1 yea, i kinda think it was the egg as well. Nut WHY would egg goo turn into a chicken that lays another egg? The Blueprints for reproduction must have been in the egg from the start, because chickens are everywhere! they have arguments with each other and all kinds of crazy shit.

  • If it wasn't for religion this guy would be really smart.

  • Interesting, a thiest who admits he doesn't know...

  • @TheOptimistPrime They compare the IDEA of god to Santa, fairies etc. You would think if you where accused of the same "cutesy" terms repeatedly you would consider it rather than dismiss. Obviously you have not. Just persisted in the thinking that suits what is most comfortable/convenient to you. Unless you're a Poe's law. Which I'm beginning to wonder.

  • @TheOptimistPrime Oh brother. Could you make more of a strawman, red herring, ad hominem argument? I've seen your posts before and they are much the same.

  • @skytrooper1980 Clear evidence -is- everywhere, so I'm not sure why people(you included) seem to have this strange notion of the designer as this timeless, omni-capable spirit. The creator is clearly more powerful, and intelligent than we can comprehend, but he is not omni-anything. He is also not a spirit, he is pure energy. The creator feeds on spirits/ghosts, which would otherwise dissipate shortly after leaving the body. You'd be a fool to deny that.

  • @xRocketNumber9x lol. possibly.

  • In scientific terms, Intelligent is a theory, because I present the human being as evidence. It's not random. If I took you to a cave, and dug up a rocket ship from a thousand years ago, would you sit there and say, oh that just evolved by magic over thousands of years.  Evolutionary process my ass. The Designer was Alpha and Omega, He did not come from anything. He said, I AM. Energy cannot be created nor destroyed, and energy is what drives life.

  • @skytrooper1980 Humans are only proof that humans exist. What proof do you have that says that humans, or for that matter all other organisms, were "created"? Where humans (actually many species) came from however, is quite well understood. Just because you decide to ignore the evidence that is there doesn't mean it doesn't exist

    Energy is matter, and matter is energy (e=mc^2). So simply put, why couldn't the universe exist without the need for a creator? Maybe the universe is an eternal cycle

  • @LemUUU yea maybe

  • @skytrooper1980 We wouldn't dig up a rocket ship and say it evolved by magic. You clearly need to read an actual science book. rocket ships aren't alive which is a key part of evolution. Without life, something can not evolve. Also, and more importantly, evolution isn't magic. The last flaw is that if we found a rocket ship our first reaction would be to question who put it there and why. We would assume it was placed by man. anyways, prove your god or don't but straw mans won't fly here

  • the designer is spiritual. Spiritual ghosts are eternal. His evidence is everywhere. Human beings are evidence, and you'd be a fool to deny that.

  • @skytrooper1980 Life demonstrates the existence of life, nothing else. If you start with the "look at the trees" argument, you need to go back and do your homework.

  • The Designer was spiritual.

  • I agree with this caller. These people are shoving their close minded lack of belief in everyone's face. What's intelligent about going so far as to create a show to shove in everyone's face your lack of belief? They are not scientists. They are a cult. Lol. Well if intelligent design is not a theory, then neither is evolution. Intelligent design is proven!! If I found a picture of a house in a cave, I would not say, Oh this is just the result of erosion. Human beings ARE proof!

  • once again, I agree with the caller. lol.  This show is its own worst enemy! I love it.

  • @TheOptimistPrime I think a better question is, why do you keep trolling AE videos? Obviously you don't care what they have to say. Maybe you could find a more constructive way to spend your time?

  • Don Baker and some random woman. WEAK TEAM!!! Jeff Dee and Matt Dillahunty all the time. ATHEIST FTW!!!!

  • Wow Linda was such a great host! I wish she could come back.

  • Can't we just be human?

  • This aired on my birthday!

  • if they arent there to try to disprove God, then why are they there at all? to say "look here, im an atheist! i dont believe in anything!"? if people complain that christians go around preaching christianity, then why arent they also complaining about this? oh and @HILLIAN74 just because some people do terrible things for God doesnt disprove God. he wouldnt even approve of that anyway... and were not all full of shit, just the crazies...

  • @pianoboypiano Because christians say our god wrote a book and our book tells you of god. Why are you upset when people say but thats stupid?

    It is stupid, because it contradicts itself, bible god is EVIL. What better reasons to say bible god is FAKE?

    Maybe a deist god exists, but then no one will know what he wants or thinks.

    Why do crazy stupid ignorant fucks get to say whatever they want unopposed?

  • @adolthitler if i wrote a book about myself, it wouldnt mean that im fake, it is an autobiography... but the Bible wasnt written by God, it was written by man about God... there are probably some mistakes in the Bible but that would be expected being written by man...

    How is the Bible God evil? yes, the Bible may say that he ordered some things that would seem to be not fair to us but what are WE to say that he is evil? sending his only son to suffer and die for our sins doesn't seem evil...

  • @pianoboypiano Its totally evil. His son was innocent of any crime. He could have just forgiven. Why does he need suffering and blood before he can forgive? Because he is evil. Thats what evil does.

    We are the ones to judge because if you don't judge the scribblings of a man in gods name then you will do anything evil and you will call it good.

    Abraham sacrificing his son, pure evil, bible god calls him good, because of course bible god is pure evil.

    Judge, or you too will be evil.

  • @adolthitler in the old testament, people had to sacrifice animals to be forgiven of their sins... they also had to have a priest as a go-between... God (for some reason or another) decided to send his only son to die for our sins so we would no longer have to sacrifice animals or need a priest as a go-between... I think that is loving, not evil. now we can ask forgiveness without having to have suffering or blood. I dont get your next argument... also Abraham never sacrificed his son

  • @pianoboypiano "In the old testament" that does not make it true or moral. Think about what they are doing, is it moral? Thats the key.

    Abraham does not need to murder his son. God asked it, Abraham knew god would really want his son murdered and so was going to do it. God calls Abraham good, because Abraham was going to murder his son, and because Abraham knows god is like that. God wants immoral fucks to follow him so when he wants someone killed he has a tool to do it. Are you that tool?

  • @adolthitler God used that as a test... before Abraham sacrificed his son, God stopped him and sent a ram to be sacrificed instead... I dont get your deist argument... please clarify... besides, arguing God's character with an atheist is stupid and pointless so I am getting out of this debate...

  • @pianoboypiano "but the Bible wasnt written by God, it was written by man about God... there are probably some mistakes in the Bible but that would be expected being written by man..."

    And here you even admit you believe the bible is suspect as its written by men. Yet you refuse to look at what men wrote and judge the word of men. Don't confuse these ignorant clowns that wrote the bible, with what a real god would write. Question it, because it is written by men.

    Are they portraying your god?

  • Respond to this video... and not all Christians are crazy stupid ignorant fucks- many christians and atheists are but there are extremely intelligent people on both sides...

    also deist ideas are extremely ridiculous... a lot of our founding fathers were deists and it seems to me that they tried to keep their popularity by catering to the atheists and christians views...

  • @pianoboypiano Deist ideas are the only valid god views. Any god view that comes with a book demands the suspension of your judgement making you an easy tool of evil men. You will do god's work regardless of how evil it is as you refuse to judge good from evil.

    Thats how jews got pushed into gas chambers, the boss said do it, and so it was done. Judge or you cannot be moral, you will just be a handpuppet of some other being and your morality will depend on their goodwill.

  • @TheOptimistPrime hey, if these beliefs were not affecting other people, people that did not share the faith, it would be fine. but the fact is that christians and other theists around the worlds take it upon themselves to alter other people's lives according to their beliefs. and if someone is going to do that, they better have A DAMN GOOD REASON. and that is what the show is trying to establish. you will notice that the show never ridicules people for beliving in the tooth fairy or big foot.

  • The caller is so ignorant, keeps asking questions yet never listens to the full answers, so frustrating, very intellectually dishonest. Evolution, change over time, IS a fact.by the way.

  • For some reason--don't know why--but I find that the female hosts on this show are often the most level headed, calm, and articulate in dealing with these idiot callers.

  • So she's saying that people should be able to live on Mars or Venus? Ok

  • go eat a HAM you FAT ASS

  • That lady was awesome. And I know the date says 04...but it kinda looks like something from the 80's.

  • @theespankee Yeah, the quality is atrocious. At least it looks better nowadays.

  • What they needed to mention to the caller is that evolution is a FACT, and that the Theory is the drawn-out explanation that just shows how it's happened.

  • @UnderlordZ Evolution is not a fact, if it was that would end all debate period. It's not so it won't.

  • @OmegaFujin What about Creationism? Is it a proven Fact? Before talking, please, make a thorough research on evolution. Oh, I forgot, you won't see any evidence! Stick your head in the bible. There IS PLENTY of EVIDENCE in IT!

  • @flightkiller09 I have thoroughly research and know my facts, evolution is not one of the facts sorry. In any case what about Creationism? Did I mention that? I don't recall that part, or are you simply so against it that any person who doesn't believe in Evolution, must believe in Creation? Typical Atheist hell bent on debating with and angry at all else non Atheist.

  • @OmegaFujin Give some of the evidence that you have that evolution is not fact instead of just asserting that it is not. This is why I hate people like you. You just assert that evolution is not a fact with ABSOLUTELY no evidence to even suggest that your claim is true.

    If you think that evolution is not true, you have not truly researched evolution.

  • @OmegaFujin There is no debate; evolution (change in lifeforms over massive expanses of time to accomodate to an ever-changing environment) is. A. FACT.

    The only opposition is from fundamentalist religiots who want their fairy tales taught in schools as fact, in an effort to retard children and the progress of humanity as a whole. They offer nothing in support of their ideas, seeking only to TRY to discredit ACTUAL knowledge, then cry and lie like children when they don't get their way.

  • @UnderlordZ No debate... hmm this video says other wise. Can you send me a link that says and proves Evolution is fact? I don't think so. There are other reasons besides "fairy tales" to explain it also. Quit being so arrogant for a minute and actually consider for a second that evolution has flaws. The video mentioned them, and till this day they are not addressed. Is it logical or rational to believe Evolution with unexplained theoretical holes, same as religion you hate?

  • @OmegaFujin Wow, it took you a month to come up with that.

    Change-over-time-in-accomodati­on-to-ever-changing-environmen­ts has been observed in both the fossil record and genetics. That is evolution. It is a fact.

    Holes in the record do not equivocate to holes in the overall thesis: qualities of large groups of organisms change over vast spans of time, causing diversity known as speciation.

    Go check the FAQ page on TalkOrigins. It's explained there.

  • @UnderlordZ Excuse me if I don't camp youtube videos, that's an Atheist thing. These changes by fossil and genetic records are assumed and not concrete at all. If you study genetics or even had a simple college biology class you would know this. Even professionals admit that Evolution has problems and do not agree with it. I don't need one bias website. I have google. Many credible sources are better than 1 source. It is not fact stated nor reality. By your own rules, the entire Bible is fact.

  • @OmegaFujin "Even professionals admit that Evolution has problems and do not agree with it."

    Who? Name ONE credible authentic biologist who doesn't "agree with" the SCIENTIFIC theory of evolution (which, as has been discussed before, is DIFFERENT than a theory about why your car won't start). If you don't want to look at a genuine site about evolution, go to Wikipedia and look up "Evolution as fact and theory". Read a biology book, for crap's sake!

  • @OmegaFujin "These changes by fossil and genetic records are assumed and not concrete at all." Nothing in science is assumed nor is it absent of objective observation and evidence.

    Biological evolution is the change in allele frequencies within a population over time. We have observed this in multiple instances. If you are seriously looking for multiple independent evidences of the fact of evolution, please check out the 280,000 peer-reviewed articles on pubmed about this topic.

  • You can't disprove something that doesn't exist. Atheists are not trying disprove God.

  • This is the same ignorant troll that threatened to punch Matt in the head for Jesus.

  • It's really ridiculous that she won't admit that there is monumental evidence of Design and where there is Design, there is a Designer. It is a mathematical impossibility that life could have arisen randomly and even hundreds of scientists are not satisfied with Darwinian evolution, and have gone on official record stating so. There is a "missing mechanism" that inputs information into each and every cell, and science has no valid explanation of what it is. Christians believe it is God.

  • @ACloserFriend Please share your evidence of design. Also, mathematics does not state that it is impossible for life to have arisen at random. The Miller-Urey experiment showed that life can come from non-life given the right conditions that are not improbable on early Earth.

    My other points are: Abiogenesis and Darwinian Evolution are not the same thing; Dembski, Behe and Kenyon et al are not hundreds of scientists; your final point is a logical fallacy of argumentum ad ignorantiam.

  • @ACloserFriend It is not a mathematical impossibility that life could have arisen. Look up Natural Selection, why don't you?

  • @TheOptimistPrime Except rationalists are prepared to change their view, given the light of EVIDENCE. Theist are simply NOT prepared to change their view AT ALL. This is not a two way street. You can call a shit a rose, if you want, but it is still a shit.

  • @morningstomper123 EXCELLENT POINT! CREATIONIST WILL NEVER NEVER LOOK AT the EVIDENCE! They JUST Won't Accept IT!

  • I've said it before and I'll say it again; have any of these callers been to school? And if the answer is 'yes' then how messed up is the school system they attend!

  • @TheOptimistPrime Even if god were real, which we can pretty much establish that the probability of that is next to zero, he would never show himself on American Idle. He likes revealing himself in less obvious ways, such as burning bushes and the gaps and limits of our knowledge. If we can't explain it, he is right there, willing to step right in. Plus Simon would hurt his feelings.

  • @TheOptimistPrime The difference being, the hosts would change their opinions and beliefs if the callers provided good evidence to support their claims. I've not yet seen a believer call in and acknowledge that they might be wrong in response to very clear arguments from the hosts*. All you ever get from the believers are simplistic arguments such as "look at the tree's" or "look in the book"!

    *I apologise to the ex-Christians who have actually de-converted, I was speaking in general terms.
