Why we do what we do.

[buckfushes]

I miss Carl Sagan.

[fria321agua]

here are some biologist who don't support the evolution: Dr. Dean Kenyon, Biologist, Prof. Gi-Tai Kim, Dr. John W. Klotz, Dr. Ian Macreadie, molecular biologist and microbiologist, Dr. John Marcus, Molecular Biologist, Dr. Gary E. Parker, Biologist, Cognate in Geology (Paleontology), Dr. Joachim Vetter, Biologist, Dr. Ken Cumming, Biologist, .... and many meny more.

[fria321agua]

Some modern scientists who have accepted the biblical account of creation; Dr. William Arion, Biochemistry, Chemistry; Dr. Paul Ackerman, Psychologist; Dr. E. Theo Agard, Medical Physics; Dr. Steve Austin, Geologist; Dr. S.E. Aw, Biochemist; Dr. Thomas Barnes, Physicist;

[eddygoombah]

@fria321agua any biologists in that mix?

[setheroon1]

@fria321agua argument from authority much?

[carrierform]

@fria321agua bibal is fake

[fria321agua]

@carrierform please, tell me what does something needs to not be fake? And tell me what evidence do you have to say that the hebrew and christian writings do not have that evidence?

[carrierform]

@fria321agua proof bro, not belief, and humans wrote it = fake, its good stuff but its made up.

[carrierform]

@fria321agua bible is fake

[lanceawatt]

@fria321agua that doesn't mean anything at all... it's not who believes what... it what you believe, and the substance and evidence of that belief.

If the entire population of the planet turned around and said that they believe that the Sun doesn't exist (with no claims of justification)...... would YOU believe it too?

[volound]

@fria321agua thats only evidence that people can hold contradictory beliefs. its called compartmentalization.

any biologists? that is, people who directly DEAL WITH evolution?

[Pilaf1984]

@fria321agua Is that all? There are more scientists who believe in Evolution named Dave than all the ones who don't combined.

[fria321agua]

if you have the time, please see this videos, and then let me know what do you think ww . answersingenesis. org /media/video/ondemand/four-pow­er-questions/four-power-questi­ons

[eddygoombah]

@fria321agua no, sorry. I won't. Simply because it's from answers in genesis. If you want me to see something that will change my mind, show me an entry from a peer reviewed scientific journal.... AiG has no credibility in the scientific world at all. You might as well have shown me an episode of mighty morphing power rangers.

[fria321agua]

@eddygoombah i THINK YOU ARE AFRAID TO SEE THE OTHER EVIDENCES, IF YOU CAN SHOW ME THAT THEY ARE MISTAKEN, I WILL HELP YOU AS NO BODY HAS DONE IT IN THE PAST.

[eddygoombah]

@fria321agua you know, writing in all caps doesn't make your point any less stupid.

[setheroon1]

@eddygoombah CAPLOCK IS CRIUSE CONTROL FOR COOL /cruise control

[fria321agua]

@fria321agua No, no, no. Your stupidity can see an argument, that is all. Because there is no argument, is just a challenge you and people like you wil never take.

[eddygoombah]

@fria321agua was that english?

regardless, all you are doing is using an argument from authority fallacy.  Well done.

[richwfd2002]

@fria321agua How arrogant. You are the one making huge claims, and the burden of proof is on you. Emotional attachment to belief, "faith", does not make it true. Your security blanket is full of holes.

[fria321agua]

@richwfd2002 So for you it is a little claim to say that there is no God. who is the arrogant? Not me. Besides, have you noticed your own arrogant claim: you are making profit of the emotional attachments to unknown probabilities you will never be able to probe. Your security blanket based on "scientific" suppositions will never make it true. By the way I am not trying to probe you creationism, the only thing is that there is no probe of otherwise.

Get it?

[eddygoombah]

@fria321agua probe? lol... 

[fria321agua]

@eddygoombah yeah right, proof, that is what happens when using voice recognition, to type instead of fingers.

[fria321agua]

Scientists: The Theory of Evolution is wrong (part1)

[fria321agua]

"But I could be wrong."

— Carl Sagan

[eddygoombah]

@fria321agua as anyone who is intellectually honest would say. but do you think any theist, especially the fundamental christians or muslims, would ever even think to say that?

[fria321agua]

@eddygoombah see this video, is kind of sceary how the non Scientists try to atack us, we who know that we don't need any evidence to beilive in evolution: The Theory of Evolution is wrong (part1)

[eddygoombah]

@fria321agua excuse me, are you spamming on my channel?  also, who said I believe in the theory of evolution in spite of having no evidence? I believe in the theory of evolution BECAUSE it has over 150 years of substantiated evidence. Mountains of evidence.

[GFaithProductions]

I wonder where he is now, I would bet he dose not think what he said then, now.

[eddygoombah]

@GFaithProductions

i would think he doesn't think about anything now...

[Glo0myWizard]

wow the awesome DJ Shadow and the omipotent Carl Sagan in one video!!! this demands 5 stars ;D

[2plus2is9]

Carl Sagan is the man. So is Charlie Rose!

[Symbaoe]

Awesome video. What is the song playing in the background.

[fywacia]

Carl Sagan is squatting on the same lava rock as abortion doctors, pot smokers, sissy boys, democrats, progressives, and anyone else who doesn't love the Lord. And when God finally invades earth on flying jet propelled horses, Carl Sagan will be left out of the Lord's heavenly kingdom as he burns in everlasting hell fire as Satan's personal table lamp, praise Jesus! Lol, just a joke folks. Carl Sagan was a true scientific pioneer who will not be forgotten.

[ScientiaVeritasEtLux]

haha, i'm surprised people took the time to read your full comment rather than giving it a thumbs down after reading the first sentence.

and I agree. Carl Sagan was great. He is one of my heroes (even though I hadn't even heard about him until about 10 years after he died : (

[zenmonk420]

Dr. Sagan was and is one of my heroes. His ability to teach and inspire was amazing and he showed millions how awe inspiring the universe truly is without magic and superstition. I'm currently rereading "The Demon-Haunted World Science As A Candle In The Dark" and I advise anyone who has not read it to pick it up and do so.

[2plus2is9]

I'm about the start reading "The Demon-Haunted Wrold" and I've read more than half of "Billions and Billions".

The last chapter and the epilogue in "Billions and Billions" is about Carl's death. It's very sad yet worth reading as it shows how Sagan was during his last days on this pale blue dot.

[MasterOhSo]

Thanks for the upload...Carl was an amazing man and the world is that much more poor with his passing. I wonder how many of us can attribute our understanding of how things really are to his insightful series "Cosmos"? Thanks again you have more than earned a sub and 5 stars...peace be with.

[fonna]

% starz faved and featured.

Very interesting.

[MasterOhSo]

Thanks for the share....big fan of Sagan.

[phenixwryter]

Ah, a brilliant man.

I can still recall watching the Cosmos series on public tv-the music at the opening of each show is so beautiful.

One of my astronomy courses was a study of his series and his book, taught by a professor who was brilliant in his own right (he looked a bit like Wolf Man Jack.)

I seem to remember reading an article about Ann (his wife) making a point of telling the reporters that he remained an atheist until he was gone. : )

Tx you for this vid-its def a fav. : )

[phenixwryter]

May I correct myself...I double checked my own info and found I was incorrect. He said he was agnostic. In the article done after his death, the in magazine-The Humanist, his wife said that neither Carl or she believed in a traditional God, or an afterlife.

: )

[Textra1]

I hate to spam your comments, but I think people really need to know about an anti-votebotting programme a guy called joshthegoods has been working on.

watch?v=g30EtJt2vII

The work he has done is, imho, an excellent way to combat the votebotters that plague YT. Josh seriously needs to publicity for he programme. I can see how anyone who has been attacked would greatly benefit from Josh's TubeGuardian programme.

[8journey8]

What a wonderful, elegant, literate man Carl Sagan was. I miss him. How patiently he would explain these new ideas to his listeners....I remember how he seemed so awed by the universe, but refused any foolish superstitions about it. Seeing this made me feel melancholy.

[bshieldsbb01]

Carl Sagan's life was cut too short; but he has attained true immortality.

He is remembered with admiration and respect.

His words are heard beyond death and continue to teach and inspire.

[HonestDiscussioner]

Was that interview specifically on religion?

[eddygoombah]

no, but most of it was

[sinner175]

Carl Sagan kicks ass!

[redcollargedeon]

I happen to believe in "Good". I do not believe in God as such, but good people have been proven to exist. Good people are found everywhere, of all race, creed and religion.

I happen to believe in the good values of my Catholic religion. It gives me hope.

The day religion proves science wrong, I'll give up science.

[obsleet]

There has not been another educator of Carl Sagan's caliber since his death. Society sorely needs his type of guidance now more than ever.

[godlessbob]

^Saganite^

[miksedene]

Excellent.

[loltacgnol]

awesome

[silverstream314]

It's a damn shame that we lost Sagan and his brilliance so early...

[RyRyVids]

Thanks that's cool, music is a bit loud though.

[eddygoombah]

lol... i couldn't get it any lower.

If you want to see his conversation without the music, I recommend watching the entire interview

[RyRyVids]

hey thanks eddy you didn't have to do that, but I'll definately watch it. By the way I liked the music in the background

[Leadman1989]

don't mean to bother but can you give me a link or put one in the description

ill google it anyways but just in case i can't find it : )

[tskaface]

Great apart from the music.

[Atheistblindchick]

Wise words from a wise man.

[golddigger159]

Good video, Eddie.

Thanks for digging this up and sharing it.

[BalthazzarCH]

just 4 stars this time... the background music is a little too loud :-/

[limpnail]

I miss Carl & his wisdom.

[PhaTboyBLIIM]

Dj Shadow and Carl Sagan, two of my favorite things. 5 stars

[ILYIAB]

You are missed Carl.

Thanks for posting Eddy.

Most excellent!

[bezboznik84]

It makes me sad to think he's no longer with us. One of my favourite people, ever. Cosmos and Pale Blue Dot changed the way I view life and my place in the Universe. Peace.

[draagon66]

Artistic licence or not, the addition of a dominant music track was very distracting.

[eddygoombah]

I completely disagree with you , so rate this video one star and be off...

[GumbaMasta]

Bit touchy today?

[eddygoombah]

no, I just think people protest too much over nothing.

[GumbaMasta]

That's what she said.

[Textra1]

I wish Carl was still with us.

[ComradeAgopian]

Awesome vid Eddy , my thanks for posting it . Doctor Sagan was the hero of my youth , and sparked my life long interest in science .

[xqyzii]

damn that's EXACTLY what I think.

I really can't accept that somebody wants to make the world fit their belief instead of base their believe on what evidence there is. If your belief contradicts existing evidence, it's BS. It's like a scientific hypothesis: It was accepted, many believed it might be true, but in the end it wasn't. MOVE ON PEOPLE!

[TheIrrationalAtheist]

The funny thing about science, is it's a slave to philosophy.

BTW, wasn't Sagan an agnostic???

[eddygoombah]

does him being an agnostic or not make what says any less true?

[TheIrrationalAtheist]

haha no, I agreed what he said, I just never knew if he was an atheist or agnostic, I was pretty sure he was an agnostic but not positive

[eddygoombah]

well, to be quite honest, I have no idea. The only thing I do know is that he abhorred the idea of dogmatic rule usurping critical thinking...

[TheIrrationalAtheist]

speaking of which, doesn't hovind get out of jail soon?

[eddygoombah]

2015

[TheIrrationalAtheist]

HAHA! I guess not so soon.

[RHYMEMAIDEN1]

Oh damn! That means he's going to miss the Rapture in 2012.

[MagnusIan]

Yes, Sagan described himself as agnostic.

[dhcrazy333]

wonderful job eddy, i liked the soundtrack, it added a nice affect. Carl is missed

[mrowepat]

Sagan and Shadow?  Nice!

[Katalyzt]

Indeed ★★★★★

[yo1o2eggs]

wow....what a breath of fresh air.

[hairyreasoner]

Enough is enough.

Let's move on.

[djarm67]

Awesome vid Eddy

5 star and fave

DJ

[farvision]

The music is in the way of the discussion.

[premed2]

So true. Sagan doesn't require a sound track.

[eddygoombah]

I felt it added to the inspirational undercurrent of the message.

sorry for adding a little artistic license. I still think it is pretty cool.

[Muchodelcrazy]

I enjoyed it very much and found it appropriate, so you're not alone.

Anyways, wow, that makes me miss Sagan. Reflecting on all the great minds passed makes me wonder who are the next voices of reason?

[soundscapenyc]

this is great. could u repost another version of it w/o Midnight In A Perfect World. the music is kind of distracting and hard to make out what segan is saying in some spots. cheers.

[eddygoombah]

no, I feel that it adds to the emotional effect of the video. This wasn't a video showing a discussion, but a collection of inspirational words from one of my heroes. If you want it without the music, you can watch this discussion as a discussion somewhere else.

[MrCHR0N0]

Long Live Sagan!

[ReclusiarchGrimaldus]

This video made me tear up.

We miss you Carl.

[bootrous]

Carl Sagan you were, and are a freakin legend!!!

[lothrazar]

I hope nobody has this copyrighted, it is really cool to see this summarized.

[reasonnotgod]

We can outlive our deaths....just watch cosmos. karl is very much alive in my life. What a legend. thanks for the vid.

[bshieldsbb01]

Thanks Eddy

That was perfect.

[TruthSurge]

I saw this interview a while back. Seemed like the interviewer wanted to jump in to quickly b4 Sagan could finish a thought.

[funkyplayer4212]

This video gave me goose bumbs for some reason. This video is more than good. Five Stars for goombah!

[torpol]

awesome clip - thanks for posting!

[buzzausa]

Good stuff....good stuff indeed.

[phillippi2]

strangely, as I was listening to this, I kept thinking of one of the beliefs held by Owen Barfield.

That being the idea that Imagination plays an important part in how we know. He rejected the idea that science is the only way to truth. He even felt that imagination was behind science.

If you don't mind, I would like to hear your thoughts on this.

[ThaGMan51]

Imagination is a good motivator and can inspire you. However, whatever you come up with about this world needs to be tested. And that is where science comes in. You might not need to follow the scientific method in coming to the truth, but if it has no empirical basis and cannot be tested then it should not be regarded as the truth.

[FSAthe1st]

I'm not sure I agree. In order to determine "truth", we need to have a basis on observable fact. Imagination may help us to make assumptions, but if those assumptions turn out to be false after examination, then they MUST be tossed out. In the end, the only way to "truth" is the evidence.

Science is essentially the search for evidence.

[MistertheSpike]

I wish I had appreciated Carl Sagan more when he was still alive.

[ScottishAtheist]

I didn't know about him until a few years ago.

I think this pretty much proves that god doesn't exist; some true shits get to live a long life, but we are robbed of great men like Sagan.

[CousinoMacul]

Dog bless Carl Sagan!

[hellshade2]

carl sagan was a great man and he will be missed....

[bossman103]

Sagan is an important figure and a much missed scientific figure actually I saw cosmos when I was 13 and really enjoyed it. Also there is a another documentary that hlped me understand human behaviour and evolution more called the human ape. There has been on channel 4 here documentaries made about christianity, which were really good. Religion is more now about moderation uiits just the yokeups vfxs of this world who keep trying to kepep it in the 20th centy and not the 21st

[djarm67]

Hi bossman,

I have "The Human Ape" in my playlists.

DJ

[erkmedia]

Amazing words and an amazing video. Thanks for sharing.

[AmGoDDoGmA]

Sagan is my friend. Yes he is a friend of mine. I have a friend in Sagan.

[eddygoombah]

zap!

[TheReasonWhyGuy]

Excellent video
