Richard Dawkins - The Greatest Show on Earth (3/7)

[ikawpipa]

is it rational that Richard Dawkins is running away from William Craig?!?

[PaleHearse]

@ikawpipa

It's not that he's running away.. he's simply identified that Craig, though a professional debater, has nothing to say of any value. All he does is back pedal to philosiphical arguments about what kind of universe outside our ability to detect it... might exist. Well.. nothing to see there eh? So?

Dawkins isn't in that game. He's an educator and will be happy to produce evidence where there is evidence.. such as for evolutionary biology. He's not out to "disprove" god.

@ikawpipa What is this obsession with you Craig "junkies" wanting to see a debate between Craig and Dawkins? Dawkins only wrote one book on his thoughts of the God hypothesis, and has written many educating and stimulating books on evolution. If you want to see each of their views on that irrelevant God question, just read their books! The debate shouldn't be "does God exist?" Rather, it should be, do ideologies like religion harm the human species, both physically and intellectually.

lovely to finally see one of my heros in an interview where the interviewer is not retarded

[sponsoredwalk1]

I think the steady decline in views of this series of videos from part to part is similar to Hamiltons Rule (that thing they are talking about);

rB>C

Where;

r = Atheistic expectation

B = Actual scientific understanding and willingness to engage in the subject

C = Cost

I'm sure you can do the math :p

[gnulen]

@sponsoredwalk1 perhaps more something like :

where r = 1 and V = decline in decimals. V = r / B*C

or

V(r) = ( P * BC ^ r )

if 0 >B you will see decline.

r =overall number of atheist who watches the first video.

B = Actual scientific understanding

C = spare time and willingness to engage in the subject

P = parts

V= views..

@sponsoredwalk1 The trend toward declining views applies to most playlists on YT. Spot check a subset and see what you find. The irrational belief in an imaginary friend, shared by so many, is nonsense, of course. And I respect Richard for being willing to confront and deal with the religious nuts. But I prefer hearing hearing him speak on biology. Group vs gene selection, and the related semantics, is far more interesting. Dredging up the "group selection" phrase makes little sense to me.

The interviewer moves like a Jim Henson puppet. XD
