to look for a missing link doesn't make sense, evolution is continuous so every fossil is an intermediate and to assume everything that dies fossilizes is retarded enough. don't worry about fossils for now, they're aren't need to prove evolution to be a fact. have you heard of genetics? probably not. i hate how religious kids that don't know anything about the science that opposes their religion, but since it opposes it, they'll try to argue against it anyway. failing spectacularly.
Ethical Judaism View of God is slightly different. It says God created all there is: Time, space, matter, energy, dimensions, forms, ideas, emotions, death, life, etc. In that sense, God is beyond existence or non existence; beyond life & death. We can't say what God is, we can only say what He's not. He's not dead, he's not ignorant, He's not unjust, He's not uncaring, He's not merciless, He's not proud. But, at the same time, He's far much more than just wise, loving, humble & merciful!
@bella50008 Youre an idiot. Hitler was NOT an atheists. He murdered atheists just as he did jews/gays/gypsies and basically anyone else that wasnt in his religion.
@clayton9m ...I did not say Hitler was an atheist, genius. I was making an analogy. Like you - Hitler thought that when a certain group of people whom he hated was dead and gone, that the group he represented (Nazi's) would be the majority/master race, etc. Are you completely incapable of reasoning?
@bella50008 You read too much into my statement. Im talking about the ignorance of the generation needs to die off. Just like the ignorance of the generation before us needed to die off before America could have a black president. Just as a few more generations need to die off before gays can be equal as well.
@clayton9m hitler was a atheist! i can pull up quotes from him saying darwins theory of evolution was fact. he was against christianity because it arose from jews and any other religion from the jew.
@ReaLeZz1 Oh really? If Hitler was an atheist then why did he say he was doing Gods work in Mien Kampf? Why did every nazi soldiers oath begin with "I swear in the almighty god my loyalty to the fuhrer"? Why was it that the FIRST treaty ever signed by the Nazis was with the Vatican? AND why did the Vatican MANDATE the celebration of Hitlers birthday every year until the fall of his regime?
If you dont know that Hitler WASNT an atheist then you dont know anything (not saying he was catholic btw
@clayton9m he did not believe in god, he thought there might be a message for him in the bible for him and if he obtained it he will be a living god. he had the mentality of a deluded cult leader, he thought there was messages in the bible for him so that is why he mentioned the bible or god. it was not the first, it was the treaty of Versailles. i take back what i say about him being a atheist but does not mean that he was not. people are still unsure of his religion.
@ReaLeZz1 I like how my argument is based on evidence that anyone reading this can verify while your argument is merely your opinion, plus you answer the question why Hitler mentioned god as if you know.
Leave it to a catholic to ignore evidence and preach something they dont understand as if it is a valid argument. Im done talking to you now, dont expect another response.
@clayton9m Evidence? half i researched to see if was true and was false!! lol you crack me up. Everyone is uncertain about hitlers religion and this is a fact.he was deluded thinking there was a message in the bible meant for him. i am not catholic, i am protestant. what evidence do you have to prove that evolution is real? because i dont see nothing. your scared that i am going to prove evolution wrong? you should not worry if you blieve evolution is fact.
@ReaLeZz1 "dont see nothing" truly the words of an intellectual. and all the evidence to prove evolution is found in germs and viruses. ever wonder why you can still get sick from the same flue every year? yes that is evolution at work. evolution is true it is a fact.
@ReaLeZz1 Evidence? I wouldn't waste my time getting into specifics, but how about DNA relations, the fossil record, and the fact that scientists have watched evolution in action in the lab within creatures with short lifespans, such as bacteria or the flu virus.
@ripdoggie I can disprove evolution, but i am still learning about it so when i am done which is in 4 months i am more than happy to show you the missing links in evolution and how it is false. You can not disprove my belief also with your low iq. I could disprove evolution in a heartbeat, you can not disprove my god because you have no evidence to prove that he does not exist.
@nvshadowstriker4 on to Dawkins, though: clearly, he is more of a hardliner than you suppose him to be, and here's why: if he was really just concerned with religion standing in the way of scientific progress, then he shouldn't care about this issue at all, let alone write books about it. Most scientists are atheists, as he himself asserts. How then could religion ever hamper their work-- especially on a time scale as broad as Darwinian evolution?
@danielhmanning I will give you a translated quote of a comment on an article about the CERN: ''Oh man, how do these scientists dumbfound people, they just make excuses for the money spent'', many similiar comments are also on other such articles and most religious people do think that. That's what I and Dawkins are talking about.
@nvshadowstriker4 I see what you mean, but honestly, I don't think-- at least I hope not!-- that a person who begins their critique with 'oh man' is really a decision-maker.
@nvshadowstriker4 when I was in my teens, I decided to read the Bible from the beginning; I got as far as Leviticus before I got depressed and gave up, because from what I read, God wanted me to be put to death. In my twenties, I started reading the Bible again, this time beginning with the gospel of John. We seem to have something in common, for while you see religion as a barrier to progress, I see religion as a barrier to knowing God.
@danielhmanning Yes we have something in common. I also do see religion as a barrier to knowing God, but, even if we leave religion out, it doesn't give any more chance that God exist, and I can't rely on my own would-be-in-future-perhaps revelation, because that doesnt make him true...
@gorilla199uncensored I'm not a fundamentalist, if that's what you're asking. I know about the contradictions, but to me, they are gnats, not camels. The question is, does a mistake in the order of lineage in a family tree, or the inaccurate dating of a battle have any bearing on the message? I didn't find God in the book of Chronicles; I found him in the gospel of John, and Matthew, and Revelation. Do I cherry pick? Well, I just admitted that I see the imperfections, didn't I?
@nvshadowstriker4 I'm not really sure how to respond except to say that I'm sorry, but you are wrong. Dawkins has said EXPLICITLY that he wants to do away with religion. If you want, I'll find an example for you in one of the videos here on YT, because there are many.
As for the book that has been proven wrong, which of the 66 books in the Bible are you referring to specifically? Who has proven it wrong? What exactly do you mean by 'wrong'? And what makes you think you know what I believe?
@danielhmanning Maybe I didn't explain as good as I wanted... So I'll try better... Dawkins wants religion out of the world, but not because he hates religion(or at least those good sides religion has), he doesn't want religion to stop our progress as a species(the church did that more-less well in the medieval age in europe for e.g.) because it says not to question what god devised, what he did do he did and no questioning.(look next response)
@danielhmanning I am also very sure you don't believe everything the church/bible says(you did write you aren't fundamentalist) and I respect that. Those like you aren't the problem, because you're a minority... Most people are extreme fundamentalists(If I would speak about me being atheist they would see me as a monster without actual reason, if you wish I can give you the example of my father) and they're the problem.I haven't read all the Bible so I can't comment John's and Matthew's gospel.
Hmmmm... Dawkins says that there may be no limits to our understanding, yet he is positive that since we have no undeniable scientific proof of God right now, God must not exist. Which is it: are there possibilities, or aren't there? Or is he just cherry-picking the possibilities that suit his beliefs?
@danielhmanning ????? When did he say god MUSN'T exist? Where? He says it doesn't exist, has a good amount of evidence for just the indication that god doesn't exist, so why would he believe in it... want more?
@nvshadowstriker4 Semantics, bro; the connotation I used was the same as you just said. No reason to get all confrontational. At the same time, I gotta ask if you are really trying to imply that Dawkins is as moderate in his view about God as you are representing? You aren't serious, are you?
@danielhmanning I am not representing anything, this is my view of him... I don't understand how you don't get that his goal isn't just to ''burn'' down religion and destroy it... he wants religion/religious people to stop interfereing into science and saving lives etc. Also, why would you believe in a book which is proved to be wrong?
@whatever54029 hahahhaha, evolution has not been proven fact? maybe it hasn't, but creationism has absolutely no evidence, you invoke the bible, bible has been proven wrong, you invoke god, I say there is a veeeeeeeeeeeeeery small chance that he exist, he has never showed himself in any subtle/unsubtle way, and to do everything what is described that he could do means that he would be too complex not to have been created by something else... want me to continue?
@FakePriest Don't do that dude, don't do that, I'm so atheist but that is a poor argument. Black people are the same exact species as white people. Anyways, you should be asking why are there so many fossils of previous species of human beings. Why do the birds on the Galapagos Islands evolve noticeably in just a matter of years? Etc..
@ZHZdaHZH ofc black people are the same race as white people, but there is a difference in genome, but far away from being a different species, probably even race, people who dont see this are ignorant, im right behind ya dude!
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
Papacy cant have their Counter Reformation 2nd Dark Age DESPOTISM til Bible's destroyed folks
''Is he a great scientist?..YES ''But thats all he is,a great scientist'' ''Proof and evidence belongs to science'' ''And FAITH belongs to GOD'' Therefore give to science what belongs to science and give to GOD what belongs to him When u remove all the 'knowledge of science'' that Dawkins acquired He becomes a simple ''antiChrist'' My point is..for those who believe,no proof is necessary and for those who do not believe,no proof is enough!! Dont be fooled by Dawkins!!
My god is real and powerful because only he could make magic talking snakes and 600 year old doods who build boats with HVAC before such technology existed !!
Ok, to everyone who replied to my comment in a sensiblle manner thankyou, and I am intrigued by some of their arguments. I Would like to add that most of the rules / laws provided by religion are of course valuable and moral. However I agree with dawkins when he says why should mankind need the threat of an almighty in order to be moral. Surely a person is not truly moral if under duress. I don't kill people from fear of god, I don't kill them because it is wrong ie immoral. Discuss
"God" haters are a ridiculous set. Certain people will seek out thought-structures which allow them to hate, to persecute others, physically, emotionally, etc. Human institutions change; human psychology doesn't change. There is an upsetting (and a subtle) symbolic link between the old Spanish inquisitor and a modern day atheist on the offensive.
Good people don't hurt others, whether or not they believe in "God."
RICHARD DAWKINS - "OUR COLLECTIVE FREE TIME NEEDS TO SHIFT AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE TO EDUCATION. WHETHER YOU'RE A YOUNG STUDENT OR FINISHED SCHOOL LONG AGO, GET OUT TO THE LIBRARY WHENEVER YOU CAN AND WORK HARD TO LEARN EVERYTHING YOU CAN ABOUT THIS WORLD. EACH INDIVIDUAL AND SOCIETY WILL BENEFIT FROM BEING ABLE TO SOLVE MORE PROBLEMS AND MAKE BETTER DECISIONS. EDUCATION IS AN AMAZING DISCOVERY PROCESS THAT REPAYS US ENDLESSLY."
@BothGabor you aren't that intelligent so don't act like you know anything about anything. Dawkins had made mistakes as well in his book. Jefferson was not a Christian, yet he was a deist. look it up
@zzaarker The issue with any religious person's argument as a defense or attack on someone whom they feel is threatening their belief is that they approach it with a very closed mind (you can look up any definition of that if you wish) and are predisposed to believe in their religion so stepping outside of that believe to have a reasonable argument ( as any reasonable argument calls for self-criticism and acknowledgement of its own flaws so that they then can be discarded). Religion is circular.
@MrBearMia What is called science by the *science-worshippers* of the present age and regarded by them as equivalent to the sum total of *reality*, is simply a collection of laws applicable to a single dimension of the world. The result of all human effort and experimentation is a body of knowledge concerning a minute bright dot comparable to the dim light of a candle-surrounded by a dark night enveloping a huge desert of indefinite extent.
All praise is due to ALLAH, the Lord of the Universe.
@MrBearMia How could some of the scientists permit themselves to make a claim that would necessitate knowledge as extensive as the scheme of the universe, when their knowledge of the total scheme of being is *close* to zero, when confronted with a whole mass of unknowns concerning this very earth and tangible, lifeless matter, let alone the whole universe?
@1tabligh How could you, or your book or your Imam? lol exactly. But anyhow, you can't prove that god doesn't exist as much as you can't prove that he does. that's understood. But everything besides that, any answer any human (a.k.a the writers of your fiction) can come up with is a guess and nothing else.
If you claim the divinity of anyone besides God *or anything for that matter*, you need to prove your claim. If someone claims that you are an angel, he has to prove it. I do not need to prove that you are a man because you appear as a man and have all the attributes of a man.
The one who claims that you are an angel is supposed to prove what he claims, because his claim is contrary to the common sense and to what appears as the actual fact.
>The animal translated from Hebrew in the Bible as "unicorn" is not the mythical horse found in fantasy movies and fairy tales. Please don't confuse the two like so many ignorant of this fact do.
When a person says that Jesus or Mohammad is a man, and not a God, he agrees with the accepted definition. Jesus lived like a man, looked like a man, slept as a man, ate as a man, and was persecuted like one. None of these facts need proof. This is not the case with the one who claims his divinity.
His claim is opposed to the common knowledge. Therefore, he, and no one else, has to provide the evidence for his claim.
Although the Muslims are not supposed to provide any evidence for the
denial of the "unicorns" or an *"individual devised god"*, they can present more than one evidence.
If numerous gods ruled over the world and each of these gods acted and gave commands in accordance with his own will, the order of the universe would dissolve into anarchy.
If there were, in the heavens and the earth, other gods besides Allah, there would have been confusion in both! but glory to Allah, the Lord of the Throne: (High is He) above what they attribute to Him!
@1tabligh Lol dude you just did exactly what I told you not to do. Im not saying there are many I'm saying the world does not require ANY gods. The thngs your Holy Book explains metaphorically and inaccurately are better explained today. Also Want me to quote Lord of The rings? it doesn't mean much when you quote the book from which you get your biased ignorant ideas from buddy. Exactly, no evidence.
Man's religious ties are an outgrowth of his nature, and materialism is something opposed to his nature. In accordance with his specific make-up, man will create his own god if he does not discover the true God, and the god he discovers may be nature or historical inevitability. This fa;we god takes the place of the true God with respect to comprehensiveness of authority, effectiveness of decree, and capacity to guide man on a certain path and propel him forward, unhindered by anyone's desires.
@1tabligh Um, "produce the evidence" what, scripture? Who is to say that there isn't scripture "proving that unicorns exist". Lol also it is a well understood principle that you cannot disprove a negative, I can't prove to you that your fake-god doesn't exist based on evidence because there isn't any evidence for it or against it, hence the negative.
Funny how Dawkins never had a debate with a knowledgeable muslim and eloquent speaker, he only likes to hear what his own mind has to say about God, religion and e.t.c. Surely, a debate with someone from another religion than Islam is another thing. But a debate with a muslim such as Abdurraheem Green, Yusuf Estes, Hamza Tzortsis or one of the other well known speakers would make Dawkins fall on his knees. He probably knows this because the media has "warned" him of debating with smart people...
@zzaarrker buddy, Dawkins is smart.....he doesn't bother arguing with apparently knowledgeable muslims because they're so ignorant up on their pedestal. Eg of a brilliant interview: Dawkins vs Hitchens. I respect Hitchens for his acceptance, intelligence and logical arguments. If only all religious people were like him....Dawkins would be able to die a happy man.
@AmateurVisions Ok so what is your proof of them being "ignorant up on their pedestal"? Have you ever seen them debate Dawkins? Have you even heard them giving a speech? Just search those names on youtube and listen to some lectures they give before making statements. Sorry but your arguments are illogical friend, if Dawkins is so smart when it comes to religious issues than why has´nt he proven it in debates against muslim speakers? He should stick to evolutionary questions if he cant prove it.
@zzaarrker dude, I have seen those muslims speak at lectures on youtube. Don't say my arguments are illogical, when muslims believe it is okay to kill a child because they don't want to be religious. I heard that from one of your knowledgeable muslims. Come on man, no matter whether it is 'acceptable' as told by a spiritual entity that has never been observed....there is no justice, no humanity, no pride, or even logic in killing a young child.
@AmateurVisions WHO said a young child should be killed? Youre making statements without evidence, a child in Islam is considered free from all faults. The angels havent begun writing the childs deeds before it has reached puberty. And a child usually dont even understand what faith is, so whatever it believes, the parents or the ones close to the child has taught it. You must have seen the video where dawkins "refuted a muslim" during a 10 sec. clip out of CONTEXT. Open your mind, dont adoreCNN
@kickmeout1 that is ridiculously ignorant. How can you say something that broad and offensive? I am an atheist but your stupidity just offended me too.
"Dead-to-the-spirit deluded "God Delusion" author & blithering fool scientist goon Richard Dawkins another "leader" given to the profane masses is another useful idiot for Jesuit machinations"-C.O.
Jesuitical: pertaining to the Jesuits or their principals; designing; cunning; deceitful; prevaricating
The Jesuits completely altered the education system to suit their Evo-Hoax agenda to discredit the Bible. They cant have a Satanic society of 'Do as Thou Wilt' if people still follow the Bible.
Please visit my channel for the unpopular truth about homosexuality.
A person does not need hatred or any kind of phobia in order to acknowledge important differences between heterosexual attraction / behavior / marriage / adoption and homosexual attraction / behavior / marriage / adoption. Even non-religious people know this.
Homosexual activists, with support from the media, have succeeded at framing themselves as noble victims; it's an effective way to push a social agenda.
If god was smart he would've shown himself to all before other religions could've been made, but for some reason didn't decide to do so and instead killed many people. Was it really the peoples fault in that case? I would've done so, so as to stop any confusion or disbelief of my existence.
@SikhDonya I think it may have something to do with the audiance he was targeting, I mean I dont know anyone who has a problem with the hindu's or the buhdists or the janes or the seiks, etc
The word "homosexual" is more appropriate and accurate than the word "gay".
A person does not need religion, hatred or any kind of phobia in order to acknowledge important, qualitative differences between heterosexual attraction / behavior / marriage / adoption and homosexual attraction / behavior / marriage / adoption.
Homosexual activists, with support from the media, have succeeded at framing themselves as noble victims and martyrs; it's an effective way to push a social agenda.
It seems like his research and his book focus largely on debating and contradicting the existence of God from an Abrahamic perspective. Which is slightly dissapointing, I expected a much more well rounded argument.
@DebunkingEvolution Prove it. Give ample evidence of this claim. You'd do well not to quote a similarly crackpot source while doing so.
While you're at it. I'd also welcome evidence for your magical sky daddy (I make the assumption that you are a theist based on your user name, please correct me if I am wrong).

I do not believe in god, but I tend to believe in the supernatural because I think maybe there are still elements that form the universe we do not yet know which might explain the supernatural. Of course, until they prove the existence of this I will not defend it, but still I am open to ideas only if they have some basis in logic
Religion is poison, creationism is the pinnacle of human stupidity. We have to end these embarrassing bronze-age cults before they end us. We owe many Atheists a massive debt of gratitude for their efforts to free humanity from religion.
We would have been is space 300 years ago if we never had organised religion. We would have been terraforming mars for a century by now. Thank goodness for the internet, knowledge spreads all over the planet now and it kills superstition where ever it goes.
God is loving and just in the OT. You all just demonstrate the folly of self wil and self glory. You are in competition with God for glory as you resist His will, so naything that remotely gives any basis to charge God, you all heardily embrace. Present your argument all you weak lemmings and prepare to be humiliated.
@j919or Loving and just. Just not to the Amalekites, the Midianites, the Gibeonites, the Eglonites, the people of Makkedah, the people of Lachish, the Canaanites, the Moabites, the Debirites, the people of Ai...
Richard Dawkins is a gawd...just kidding, but he IS a genius and perhaps the best and most intelligent representative of reason against the idiocy of religious ignorance
To the believers, have you ever read the bible? truly read this book, once you have, please make sure that you armed with a full load of Explanatory ammo to explain all the discrepancies. The old testament talk about killing your son or daughter, having slaves ect. Most religious people have never read this book in great details, only the passages which they are read at the Sunday Worship.
the guy's confuse, god does exist. Everything in nature was born of something...a spider, from another spider, a star from the death of another star, and star, from the remnants of a singular point of energy we called the big bang...Throughout nature and the universe, the principle of an something to emerge from something else superior is dominant.This fundamental principle is proof that god exist...in the quran, their is proof of the big bang, of the natural miracles, of true scientifiic facts
@wazfrmoz moron does the quran have evolution?quran says humans come from adam and eve when we know we dotn we r evolved primated quran is false mythology book
@wazfrmoz well, someone's confused here, and it's NOT Dawkins (your ridiculous statement about the existence of Gawd is xtremely ignorant, wake up from your delusions fucking moron
@oneirishpoet duude, why this is a debate, no need to fucken insult people because of their beliefs, im just providing my opinion,your defensiveness is quite alarming, why dont you first convince yourself of the untruth first. I'm just trying to inform you guys that athiest can be wrong. what i see from so many in this debate are uncertain and emotionally charged individuals who cannot tolerate someone else opinion, because of their own doubts, i suggest you sir to look into yourself real hard
@wazfrmoz hey don't worry about me moron, I am VERY certain of who I am in this world and it's NOT a retard like you and/or the other fucking delusional, mentally retarded assholes walking around asleep with their heads up their collective asses...also, too! :)
@oneirishpoet well aren't you an adult...hey i got something for you, why don't you just go to ur little dawkins to justify ur beliefs because you don't know why you wanted to be an athiest in the first place except to be a real arsehole....anywyas for those confused, or feeliong God has ignored you, be open minded, look into urself...athiesm is a last option...its for those lost hopeless souls.
@wazfrmoz - way to share the godly love, man. how does degrading someone's beliefs convince them that you've got the Truth they need? why would they even want what you've got? who wants to become like someone who attacks another out of disagreement?
@misslibertygal look dude, you havent seen the other comments the guy made....it was borderline abuse:
@wazfrmoz hey don't worry about me moron, I am VERY certain of who I am in this world and it's NOT a retard like you and/or the other fucking delusional, mentally retarded assholes walking around asleep with their heads up their collective asses...also, too! :)

so, you see, i just called him an arsehole becuase, well he is an arsehole
And then there is the question; What force created the 'Random factor' that just happened to create all this diversity?..Uh it created itself..It seems Atheists are too busy bitching over the beliefs of others to adress the ugly holes in their own arguments..They hide behind the concept of 'Reason' as much as the Religious hide
behind Dogma [Oh, but at least ours are based on facts..Bleeeerk..]
@niallobinghe The "random factor" you're talking about is caused by environmental, breeding and other causes. Each creature is born into an environment that is somewhat different. That makes the creature different in some way. The stronger ones survive to breed- and those slight differences are passed on through generations until they become something very different.
How about this for a delusion; the big bang created the universe (and the big bang "just was") and its just a HUUUUGE coincidence that all the forces of physics allowed earth to be created in such a way that supports an environment that allowed random molecules to form into living beings that are self-aware. I'm not pushing the idea of the Gods that religions support, but even Einstein believed in a supreme creator.
@ReachDeep1 The big bang is the best that science could come up with and those whose god is science applaud that outlandish theory. The big bang is contrary to everything else we know about entropy and the 2nd law and makes our existence nothing more than a purposeless accident. Men will think whatever it takes for them to continue in lust w/o fear of consequences...until its toolate.
@ReachDeep1 Einstein did not believe in a personal God, his use of the word "God' was purely poetic. Also, if you want Dawkins to have an answer for your questions on the Big Bang, or a viewer watching his videos to answer you, you're not going to get it. Do your own research. Check out "Neil deGrasse Tyson".
@AgowTisro Wow. You're not very bright, are you? I clearly stated that I was not speaking of the personal God that many religions teach, but you did not seem to pick up on that. Einstein's use of the term God was not poetic in any way. He understands that there is/was a force at work in the universe that put the laws of physics in place without following them. Science clearly states that matter cannot be created or destroyed, right? Well then what created all the matter in the universe?
@ReachDeep1 Why such a condescending tone to your comment? If you had inferred what you meant about Einstein's God before the comment I replied to, I apologize for not reading back far enough, if you hadn't, then I don't apologize because it was not "clearly stated". Also, I gave you a source/reference to check out, he's quite entertaining to watch and listen to. If you want to do the research then please, go ahead. Or, you can make another condescending remark to this.
1984Lizardking; Firstly i am a pagan, secondly i do not smoke anything. i have also noticed you resort to assumptions instead of adressing any of the isues i raised; namely that Athgeists often talk about the role of religion in warfare whilst conveniently ignore the ugly fact that many atheist scientists work for the Arms industry..Do you have anythin intelligent to day about this, or is that beyond your capabilities?
@niallobinghe What is your source for the claim that there's many atheist scientists working for arms industry? Wasn't that resorting for assumptions too?
There's people out there beheading infidels while saying "Allah Akbar" (God is great); we know about problems within some religions, and we aren't going to stop criticizing it just because some people don't like or understand it, those atheists who criticize liabilities in religion are doing what the religious people should be doing.
dicemanstyle; hmm, i wonder how many atheists work for the arms industry; it takes more than religion to make war possible, the American economy would crash without it. it seems atheists do not believe in accountability..
@niallobinghe atheists dont believe in accountability? what the fuck are you smoking? you christians have a fucking cheek.your cults the most murderous cult ever shat into civilisation what the fuck? and you always plat the persecution card somehow.go fuck yourself you screwball.you are the mob that stole the pagan religion then killed them all,stole the jews religion and decided to persecute them for 2000 years and you are talking about your number one enemy atheists taking blame for your crap?
@1984LizardKing You misunderstand Christians. The Catholic church didnt stop at murdering pagans, they murdered and tortured christians as well. You all have fallen hook line and sinker for satans lie ..AGAIN! Satan does his dirty work under the guise of chrisitainity and then blames God. You all fall for it. But now u know and no longer have an excuse at the judegment.
I highly recommend taking the time to listen to the entire talk both parts in this case. It is Dawkins at his brilliant best. Thank you Dr. Dawkins the world needs you.
Lots of Brits were born in the former Empire, went to Oxbridge and studied the sciences before becoming a fellow. A disproportionate amount of hysteria and faith placed in one ill-informed (once he gets of his speciality) angry man.
Most of the questions make me, and I believe richard too, a little discouraged about higher education in America.

to look for a missing link doesn't make sense, evolution is continuous so every fossil is an intermediate and to assume everything that dies fossilizes is retarded enough. don't worry about fossils for now, they're aren't need to prove evolution to be a fact. have you heard of genetics? probably not. i hate how religious kids that don't know anything about the science that opposes their religion, but since it opposes it, they'll try to argue against it anyway. failing spectacularly.

Ethical Judaism View of God is slightly different. It says God created all there is: Time, space, matter, energy, dimensions, forms, ideas, emotions, death, life, etc. In that sense, God is beyond existence or non existence; beyond life & death. We can't say what God is, we can only say what He's not. He's not dead, he's not ignorant, He's not unjust, He's not uncaring, He's not merciless, He's not proud. But, at the same time, He's far much more than just wise, loving, humble & merciful!

@nvshadowstriker4 on to Dawkins, though: clearly, he is more of a hardliner than you suppose him to be, and here's why: if he was really just concerned with religion standing in the way of scientific progress, then he shouldn't care about this issue at all, let alone write books about it. Most scientists are atheists, as he himself asserts. How then could religion ever hamper their work-- especially on a time scale as broad as Darwinian evolution?

As for the book that has been proven wrong, which of the 66 books in the Bible are you referring to specifically? Who has proven it wrong? What exactly do you mean by 'wrong'? And what makes you think you know what I believe?

@danielhmanning Maybe I didn't explain as good as I wanted... So I'll try better... Dawkins wants religion out of the world, but not because he hates religion(or at least those good sides religion has), he doesn't want religion to stop our progress as a species(the church did that more-less well in the medieval age in europe for e.g.) because it says not to question what god devised, what he did do he did and no questioning.(look next response)

I do not believe in god, but I tend to believe in the supernatural because I think maybe there are still elements that form the universe we do not yet know which might explain the supernatural. Of course, until they prove the existence of this I will not defend it, but still I am open to ideas only if they have some basis in logic

Religion is poison, creationism is the pinnacle of human stupidity. We have to end these embarrassing bronze-age cults before they end us. We owe many Atheists a massive debt of gratitude for their efforts to free humanity from religion.
We would have been is space 300 years ago if we never had organised religion. We would have been terraforming mars for a century by now. Thank goodness for the internet, knowledge spreads all over the planet now and it kills superstition where ever it goes.

God is loving and just in the OT. You all just demonstrate the folly of self wil and self glory. You are in competition with God for glory as you resist His will, so naything that remotely gives any basis to charge God, you all heardily embrace. Present your argument all you weak lemmings and prepare to be humiliated.

To the believers, have you ever read the bible? truly read this book, once you have, please make sure that you armed with a full load of Explanatory ammo to explain all the discrepancies. The old testament talk about killing your son or daughter, having slaves ect. Most religious people have never read this book in great details, only the passages which they are read at the Sunday Worship.

the guy's confuse, god does exist. Everything in nature was born of something...a spider, from another spider, a star from the death of another star, and star, from the remnants of a singular point of energy we called the big bang...Throughout nature and the universe, the principle of an something to emerge from something else superior is dominant.This fundamental principle is proof that god exist...in the quran, their is proof of the big bang, of the natural miracles, of true scientifiic facts

@wazfrmoz Just because it helps you sleep, that doesn't ean there is a god.
Just because you like to pray when you probably wont succeed, to comfort yourself, that doesn't mean there is a god.
If you rationalize thusly, in any case:"There HAS to be a god because X,Y,Z," the part that matters is "There has to be a god".
Because for whatever reason, you ned a god. Your probably not stubborn, just too quiet to really think. Too timid. Sorry mate, it doesn't work.

And then there is the question; What force created the 'Random factor' that just happened to create all this diversity?..Uh it created itself..It seems Atheists are too busy bitching over the beliefs of others to adress the ugly holes in their own arguments..They hide behind the concept of 'Reason' as much as the Religious hide
behind Dogma [Oh, but at least ours are based on facts..Bleeeerk..]
niallobinghe 7 months ago
@niallobinghe The "random factor" you're talking about is caused by environmental, breeding and other causes. Each creature is born into an environment that is somewhat different. That makes the creature different in some way. The stronger ones survive to breed- and those slight differences are passed on through generations until they become something very different.
crazytuffie 7 months ago
How about this for a delusion; the big bang created the universe (and the big bang "just was") and its just a HUUUUGE coincidence that all the forces of physics allowed earth to be created in such a way that supports an environment that allowed random molecules to form into living beings that are self-aware. I'm not pushing the idea of the Gods that religions support, but even Einstein believed in a supreme creator.
ReachDeep1 7 months ago in playlist Random Media
@ReachDeep1 The big bang is the best that science could come up with and those whose god is science applaud that outlandish theory. The big bang is contrary to everything else we know about entropy and the 2nd law and makes our existence nothing more than a purposeless accident. Men will think whatever it takes for them to continue in lust w/o fear of consequences...until its toolate.
j919or 7 months ago
@ReachDeep1 Einstein did not believe in a personal God, his use of the word "God' was purely poetic. Also, if you want Dawkins to have an answer for your questions on the Big Bang, or a viewer watching his videos to answer you, you're not going to get it. Do your own research. Check out "Neil deGrasse Tyson".
AgowTisro 7 months ago
@AgowTisro Wow. You're not very bright, are you? I clearly stated that I was not speaking of the personal God that many religions teach, but you did not seem to pick up on that. Einstein's use of the term God was not poetic in any way. He understands that there is/was a force at work in the universe that put the laws of physics in place without following them. Science clearly states that matter cannot be created or destroyed, right? Well then what created all the matter in the universe?
ReachDeep1 7 months ago
@ReachDeep1 Why such a condescending tone to your comment? If you had inferred what you meant about Einstein's God before the comment I replied to, I apologize for not reading back far enough, if you hadn't, then I don't apologize because it was not "clearly stated". Also, I gave you a source/reference to check out, he's quite entertaining to watch and listen to. If you want to do the research then please, go ahead. Or, you can make another condescending remark to this.

1984Lizardking; Firstly i am a pagan, secondly i do not smoke anything. i have also noticed you resort to assumptions instead of adressing any of the isues i raised; namely that Athgeists often talk about the role of religion in warfare whilst conveniently ignore the ugly fact that many atheist scientists work for the Arms industry..Do you have anythin intelligent to day about this, or is that beyond your capabilities?
niallobinghe 7 months ago
@niallobinghe What is your source for the claim that there's many atheist scientists working for arms industry? Wasn't that resorting for assumptions too?
There's people out there beheading infidels while saying "Allah Akbar" (God is great); we know about problems within some religions, and we aren't going to stop criticizing it just because some people don't like or understand it, those atheists who criticize liabilities in religion are doing what the religious people should be doing.
