Richard Dawkins Dismantles Religious Sillyness Regarding Evolution

[UncleMatt69]

I AM GOD ! That could be the shrooms talkin'.

[69jeffrow]

I ask myself why would they believe in a God 2k yrs ago and I can only think of for power. It seems the church and the Gov. go hand and hand and they each want and take our money. One threatens you will go to hell if you don't follow blindly. The other scares you with terrorist threats, global warming and other BS stories to make you think they are protecting you and in the end you pay more takes and lose more of your rights.

[wondergundy]

@SapphireDiamond19 JC did not die for our sins... He's up bouncing around 3 days later...by some accounts. This is a sick death cult... You can't kill yourself.. so that other peoples sins will disappear.... This is not moral!

[SapphireDiamond19]

Jesus DID die for our sins because He loves us and wants us to go to Heaven. And FYI Jesus is still alive today in Heaven waiting for people to come and confess their sins to Him because He is faithful and just and will cleanse us from all sin.(1st John 1:9) God loves you and wants you to go to Heaven thats why He sent His son to come and die on the Cross for us and if you just accept this gift that God has given us you will be saved as well

[mentalphysicalism]

@SapphireDiamond19 Is heaven a place that you could travel to in a spaceship or

is it within you as Luke says?

[whitefire1997]

@SapphireDiamond19 God loves you? Have you really read the bible? That is abuse.

[EGMAG]

evolution just happened as a reaction to a previous motivating action

[HoodedThis]

Why would a loving and omniscient God design evolution, when he knows beforehand that 98% of the species he designed will not even survive? Nature has evolved without the need of a designer. Why is it that we have to make room for Him in everything?

[talons2112]

Dawkins is lying to you.

[EGMAG]

The whole definition of evolution is that it is a result of cause and effect and therefore does not "just Happen" as Richard Dawkins states.

To use evolution one must use cause and effect endlessly until a true origin of all creation is proved or found without a doubt. Nothing can only "just happen' without a just happening origin. Get it?

[EGMAG]

Sorry Dawk. Shit just doesn't happen and neither does evolution just happen! Evolution has a very understandable series of complex actions in what we call nature. However Science and understanding of nature also has a series of evolutionary thoughts that become revolutionary eventualy with clarity. All of our knowledge still is in a quandry about the origin of "NOTHING into SOMETHING! If only nothing existed before something, then we would never have evolution unless you deduce God is "nothing"!

[wondergundy]

@EGMAG Funny how you say things can't just happen... when quite obviously they did. You are overlooking mountains of evidence that shows how everything evolved. You won't grasp it and try to figure out how it started... you retard yourself with religious non answers. Christians made up the idea that there was nothing in the beginning, a totally ignorant idea. 14 billion little steps... if there where only one tiny step per year. I think even your superstition limited scope can see potential.

[EGMAG]

@wondergundy Easy for you to blow people away accusing them of religious persecution eh? I studied evolution decades before you were born; & I know the mountains of most evidence for evolution, happen to be true & honest.

I also know that some religion is true & honest & some is dishonest! However the complete discounting

of even the "possibility" of the existence of a God is completely childish!

A true atheist is defined by their belief that Gods existence has not been proven to them as of yet!

[wondergundy]

@EGMAG I did not say there was no god... though nothing I have seen points to there being any. I can prove religious persecution exits. Believing things for no reason, other than, it feels good is childish. I guess I am not a true atheist... by your definition. Is it possible to be a false atheist? I think maybe your definition of atheist is wrong. Now True and honest religion... That, is a stretch!

[EGMAG]

@wondergundy by your definition. Is it possible to be a false atheist? <<

Agnostics don't care one way or the other. Atheists do care.

[wondergundy]

@EGMAG I'm an antiBSist.

[EGMAG]

@wondergundy antiBSist  <<

Ha Ha Pretty funny

[fishoutofwasser]

@EGMAG No that's an Agnostic, Atheists don't believe in god.

[EGMAG]

@fishoutofwasser Atheists don't believe in god. <<

Well you better change your interpretation. The correction is the letter "A" means away from; while it atheism means away from theism. Being away from thesim means one does not accept theism views. Not accepting theism views means there is always a chance there may sometime be acceptable proof presented to an atheist. Agnostics don't care one way or the other. Atheists do care.

[fishoutofwasser]

@EGMAG Maybe on your planet, on earth atheists don't believe in god and agnostics are undecided...i doubt there is a single person in the world who doesn't care one way or the other as you say.

[pinball281]

lol its just happens but why??????????

[sleepyeyeguy]

@pinball281 A very simple answer to that question. In order for something to exist, it must conform to the functional requirements of the environment in which it exists. If the system in which a function occurs can no longer support that function, then the function ceases to exist. It is a self organizing process.

[EGMAG]

The BB or Big Bang is as far as we can say origin evolution and therefore evolved as a reaction from some action (Newton)! Because Nothing from nothing is nothing. So Pre-BB

Theists [some] can correalate God as before the Big Bang and evolution following suit. Evolution happened after the BB and it seems quite reasonable to say some mysterious entity caused the BB; right so far? anyone

[scoreunder]

@EGMAG No. An entity is an extremely complex thing, how is that more likely than pretty much anything else?

Not that it discredits any part of your argument, but I also see a great misunderstanding of Newton's 3rd law right there... and of the English language too.

[EGMAG]

@scoreunder entity is an extremely <<

How do you know?

[scoreunder]

@EGMAG 1. It's a complex thing because it requires some form of cooperative nondeterminism, and in most religions, emotion and linguistic capability among many other fancy features.

2. It's unlikely because when there are infinite possibilities with regards to what could have happened, and you pick a hypothesis for which there is no evidence, then you are likely to be wrong.

[EGMAG]

@scoreunder complex thing <<

Your confusion lies within your over-complexity of analytical logical thinking! You may find a bit of simplification and more earthy determinations in your thought processes will lead you to a more peaceful calmer inner life in the long run future! NOT hypothesis; it's more fact then evidence-less fiction, as it is based on all historical known evolving behavioral sciences, theologies, physics, up to our present day knowledge and understandings of the same!

[AMikeOnLine]

There is no GOD. There NEVER was a GOD. There never will be a GOD.

The sooner people realize this the more saner and peacful world we wil live in.

[wondergundy]

@EGMAG This is true, god invented all that stuff to screw with us.... Had the power to make it all perfect,but no! I'm bored.. I'll invent masturbation, make it a sin, make it feel excellent, and make their arms long enough so that their idle hands can reach their genitals... Then i'll invent the internet so that everybody else can watch. God is so tricky... err sick.

[EGMAG]

@wondergundy stuff to screw with us <<

Your very entertaining. Seriously though; what previous motivating actions do you think pre-ceeded the Big-Bang?

Was it Super Plasma, Random Chaos, Divine Design? What?

[wondergundy]

@EGMAG How about... 14 billion years of contraction... The opposite of the expansion we are experiencing now.

The cycle repeats itself....???

[EGMAG]

@wondergundy contraction.  expansion <<

Not able to replicate of these are theories. Still in all what is outside the realm of the universe and what do we call that which was before the universe?

[wondergundy]

@EGMAG What is outside... or... What came before this universe, matters not... especially to us. I don't think you actually grasp how big the universe is.... We are totally insignificant in it. You, being the product of a chemical driven sexual altercation between your parents, who met purely by chance and logistics, may never find out the meaning of life.... But you have the potential to change the destinies of every single life form you encounter in your life time. Reality. or make shit up.

[EGMAG]

@wondergundy before this universe, matters not.<<

Of course it matters in the course of scientific research people like to know. Your not insignificant no matter what the size of the universe is. It is pure science to theorize on what the universe is expanding into and what was there at the pre universe. Stop bullshitting and get scientific will you?

[wondergundy]

@EGMAG OK... OK... I was bullshitting there.... I was just trying to keep up with you! You are using Pseudo science to blow smoke up my ass. My point is If you have to invent something to prop up your predetermined idea of creation... You are probably wrong.

[EGMAG]

@wondergundy

I have no idea except the ones given to me through modern day research and theories. Just investigate The Origin of Life - Abiogenesis - Dr. Jack Szostak

This has been CONFIRMED in Dr. Jack Szostak's LAB. 2009 Nobel Laurette in medicine for his work on telomerase.

watch?v=U6QYDdgP9eg The Origin of Life - Abiogenesis - Dr. Jack Szostak on you tube!

You can also find many other videos on the subject. I can only conclude after all is done the Primary Origin of evolution Is God.

[wondergundy]

@EGMAG Well, I can only conclude that, a god as an answer, would be like saying: Harry Potter conjured up the movie camera... How you make this leap is beyond me. You did not come to this idea through modern day research... You got your ideas from the mystic book of the Jews... The old testament. That is why you can't substantiate any of it with any science. The Jews don't take this stuff literally, and they wrote it!!

[wondergundy]

@wondergundy Did you watch Dr.Jacks vid? There was no god in it... Why did you recommend it?

[EGMAG]

@wondergundy conclude <<

Concluding potter with a camera and a giant leap has nothing to do with the subject matter here. I got my ideas from discerning good from evil and human history. Nothing to do with your accusations. Not all Jews take O.T. litteraly. You still don't make a universe from nothing; and if you think you do then explain it, because Hawkins tried and failed miserably!

[whitefire1997]

@EGMAG Actually they have momentarily created matter out of energy, in essence out of nowhere. This is the same process that we would have seen moments after the big bang as energy crashed into each other and created matter, atoms gravitated together smashing all about creating elements and then heavier elements and those elements created in stars exploding into the far corners of the universe eventually created everything. Everything!

[EGMAG]

@whitefire1997 out of nowhere <,

I read all about it. I will say "they" THINK they created matter from nothing. The "process", as you say, is one that is highly suspicious & NOT of any consequence. Who said you cannot create matter out of energy anyway. Energy and matter are interchangeable. What your saying is the Big Bang came in essence from ''nowhere''; and that is a scientific contradiction to the laws of physics no matter who disagrees with me!

[whitefire1997]

@EGMAG Newton knew the orbit of the planets were eliptical but he didnt prove it till someone dared him. He had to invent calculus to do so. So to that point the glimps of matter they see is enough for me to say yes, it can. Energy gave birth to matter. You say you researched evolution decades ago so why can't it be that your previous research is false and that new eveidence may shed light that previously left you blinded to truths. It is a virtue to accept change in our concept of reality.

[EGMAG]

@whitefire1997 new eveidence <<

As I stated your "belief" in the "new evidence" is false because the "new evidence" is a contrivance and is false evidence!

Matter gives birth to energy and energy gives birth to matter; something had to give birth to both energy and matter. Makes sense to you yet, huh?

[c6gunner]

@EGMAG

You don't understand evolution, you don't understand the connection between matter and energy, and you don't understand the laws of physics. I suggest you do more listening, and less speaking.

[EGMAG]

@c6gunner I suggest listening<<

I suggest "you" understand that others just may have more understanding and grasp of the truth then "you" do!

[c6gunner]

@EGMAG

lol. You should do stand-up :)

Also, you should stop abusing those poor quotation marks - they never did anything to you.

Oh, and grammar. Work on it.

[EGMAG]

@c6gunner quotation marks - grammar<<

You should learn more about the message then about English comprehension and criticizing

[c6gunner]

@EGMAG

Apparently you have long-term memory problems as well; I've already criticized your ridiculous "message". Pointing out your other shortcomings is just the icing on the cake. Now unless you have something intelligent to say (hah!) go play somewhere else.

[EGMAG]

@c6gunner

OKAY YOU DISGRUNTLED ATHEIST  BB

[EGMAG]

@whitefire1997 new eveidence <<

Because new evidence verifies all that I researched and suspected years ago!

[talons2112]

@AMikeOnLine the cloest the world has come so far is china where christianity is illegal where they are imprisoned beaten and used for their organs. perhaps that is your utopia. but in the meantime lets ask the aborigines from tasmania how they feel about your religion. oh wait you guys decimated them and there are no more left. the ones in australia however are still upset about you guys running them off cliffs and using them for your zoo, circus and museum displays.

[SapphireDiamond19]

How wrong you are. There IS a God there always WAS a God and there will ALWAYS be a God. The sooner people realize this the less people that Satan will have to drag people down into Hell with. JESUS IS REAL. If you look into His grave site His grave is EMPTY because HE HAS RISEN! Which destoyed the works of the devil. Jesus is in Heaven RIGHT NOW waiting for people to come and confess their sins to Him so that people can go to Heaven and be saved but pretty soon that door will be CLOSED

[wondergundy]

@SapphireDiamond19 That door has slammed shut. The dark ages are over... The internet has arrived to save you from your stupidity... but you must have free will. Look up Dr. Jack... recomended by EGMAG.I am impressed with logic. You only feel stupid because you are... using your perfectly functioning gourde for stupidity..Just grasp something every day. You will be cured.

[SapphireDiamond19]

The only reason why the Internet exists is because Jesus said that it would in Bible propecy and its being used to spread the word of God around to everybody. And I am not stupid you dont even know me yet you call me stupid. If anything is "stupid" I would say turning your back on the Lord Jesus Christ now THAT is stupid

[JAWZxz]

@SapphireDiamond19 How do you feel knowing that 99.9% of intelligent and rational people are atheists? Only fools are taken in by the church's promises of "eternal life." Religion is for the meek, for people who can't think for themselves and accept that THIS life, is the only one we'll have. Christians spend far too much time trying to get themselves into an imaginary afterlife that they neglect this one. I hope you one day see sense. Look at the evidence, there is nobody looking out for us.

[SapphireDiamond19]

The Bible says in 1 Corithnthians 3:19, that the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. The Bible also says that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of the knowledge.(Proverbs 1:7) If anything is foolish is putting your etenral soul under the wrath of God for all eternity esp when you dont have to

[JAWZxz]

@SapphireDiamond19 So this all powerful "God" is encouraging ignorance. I'd rather chance burning in "hell" for eternity than live through this life in ignorance and stupidity. If your "God" is so loving and powerful, why is there so much suffering in the world? If this so called God does nothing to stop this suffering, I'd rather be a Godless heathen.

[ScottishCaledonian]

@SapphireDiamond19 "If anything is foolish is putting your etenral soul under the wrath of God for all eternity"

This shows me how much of a vile, sadistic, violent, possesive, spiteful, vengeful, evil monster your disgusting god is.

I do not respond at all to your horrible, horrible Christian threats. Your religion is disgusting and you disgust me.

[AmericanPatriot53]

@AMikeOnLine Proving God is beyond current scientific abilities. Even though we are still very early in the study of quantum physics, M theory and other scientific evidence dealing with questions of existence, time and consciousness. We can put forward reasonable scientific evidence for Omniscience, Omnipresence and Omnipotence (not in the religious sense but in a non local sense.) These 3 qualities are quite possible, this does not prove God but removes the impossibility arguement.

[AMikeOnLine]

@AmericanPatriot53 I have a couple of problems with that.

If any entity has these properties then it can limit its own ability to perform actions and hence it cannot perform all actions, yet, on the other hand, if it cannot limit its own actions, then that is—straight off—something it cannot do. This implies that an omnipotent being’s ability to limit itself necessarily means that it will, indeed, limit itself therefore it could not be Omnipotent in the FIRST place.

[AmericanPatriot53]

@AMikeOnLine The omnipotent arguement is not based on omnipotence in the religious sense as I am not making a religious arguement. It is simply the demonstration that one action can result in a reaction in the non local sense at the quantum level (Einsteins spooky effect) Your arguement is more along Satans arguement to Eve in Miltons Paradise lost. "God can not harm you for partaking of the fruit because it would not be just and if he be not just he can not be God." This more philosophical.

[JaytheOstrich]

@AmericanPatriot53 Heh heh.. a "just" God.. that's a funny one.

[AmericanPatriot53]

@JaytheOstrich I always thought that Milton portrayed Satan in a very interesting way. Satans arguement was interesting just as the philosophical implications of quantum realities leave us with more questions than answers.

[TheRoninshaman]

I had to watch this three times to see how bad his argument realy was. Here are the two key points and my responses.

First: Evolution by natural selection just happened.

R: It just happened is not an answer to anything.

Second: The system created complex entities that can create anything.

R: Where are the living organisms that were created from inorganic or inert materials that scientists have created.

A very curious way to do your science indeed!

[TheKattttt]

@TheRoninshaman Evolution by natural selection DOES just happen...that's how the process works. Certain traits are favoured in species that allow them to have increased fitness (reproductive success). They can therefore pass on their genes, and have offspring that have similar ADAPTIVE and BENEFICIAL traits. Ta-da! Natural Selection!

[DYTisOver]

@TheRoninshaman I had to read your response three times to see how bad your argument really was.

[TheRoninshaman]

@DYTisOver Back at ya sunshine. Peace.

[JungleJargon]

You did not prove that objects or forces order anything because mutations certainly never order anything.

[alracgabu]

why do they try to put creation on a god in such a fucking romantic way like if they are telling a truth or something first of all. if there is a god who made evolution to happen then there is no perfection then all the killings by the strongest are simply that, no punishment no prize, if it did evolution then there is no point at all of the salvation garbage they think the planet earth is about don't you see your god is perfect but evolution stands on imperfection. weakness is the root of cult.

the title of this video is almost as arrogant as the foolish man speaking on it.

[andromidius]

@STU7849 Your basis for this statement? Personal belief? Oh okay then, on your way.  This isn't the place for you!

[STU7849]

@andromidius My basis for my remark is the diplorable lack of any conclusive scientific evidence that would allow one to state so dogmaticlly that this all ''just happened''. But if I have overstayed my welcome with that one comment, I understand.

[llieno]

@STU7849 There is a universe full of conclusive scientific evidence that what is is, that what has happened has happened and a great deal of evidence as to what will happen. Nowhere, however, in the immensity of time and space have we come across evidence of any kind to suggest anything other than that it just happened.

[STU7849]

@llieno What is the scientific basis to state that life formed from non life? That it all, ''just happend''?

[mehico33]

@STU7849 Essentially yes, that the laws of physics/the universe shaped matter into a self replicating cell. Enriched particles belched from the sun onto the spherical petri dish we call earth. We currently do not have detailed knowledge on the origin of life but scientific knowledge grows everyday.

This is a lot more convincing than "Magical sky daddy did it"

[STU7849]

@mehico33 Ok, 2 questions. First, who wrote the laws of physics? Second, If our knowledge regarding origin of life is so limited, what is the scientific basis for dawkins to state so arrogantly that it all just happened? And that is the whole idea of evolution? Without evidence , that is a ''curious way to do your science''.

[mehico33]

@STU7849 You beg the question, "who" implies a person which is an unneccessarily complex way of accounting for a natural law, a mindless force. "arrogantly"? All evidence points to its having "just happened", as soon as their is evidence for an eternal conciousness it will be considered. On the other hand magic is an easy answer, some people simply cant handle the fact that we are a tiny speck in this vast cosmic arena and must tell themselves we are some special magic creation

[STU7849]

@mehico33 Cause and effect. We have natural laws. What or who caused them to exist?

Science is supposed to be based on evidence. Things you can physically see.

You say that all evidence points to, "it just happened". To which evidence

do you refer?

[STU7849]

@mehico33 Where do babies come from? Life comes from life. That is a

"natural law". That is the only evidence that we have for how life begins.

And it is far more reasonable to believe in something based on evidence,

than to believe that it all "just happened". "magically". Don't you agree?

[mehico33]

@STU7849 "Dont you agree?" Agree? I said that before you did. "Life comes from life" sure it does, but on what do you base the assertion that it comes from nothing else? Its like saying "fire comes from fire", its true but the initial ignition can come from numerous sources. (Life is a process just like combustion)

You are the antagonist here, youre the one who believes in magic (as opposed to natural laws), silly you.

[STU7849]

@mehico33 Young man, I have repeatedly asked for evidence that it ''just happened''. I have been told that there is abundance, but nobody can provide a single shred. So i's comical that you have the nerve to patronize me.

[mehico33]

@STU7849 Hey you started it! lol. What exactly do you want evidence for? The evolution part? Or the "just happened" part? Because "It just happened" is the logical conclusion one would draw in absense of any evidence whatsoever to support fantastical claims such as the creation myths. I would love to believe the universe has a purpose for me but I need evidence, the kind of evidence that evolution has in abundance. Im right on line with deism but I call myself an atheist

[STU7849]

@mehico33 Before I can provide ''the kind of evidence evolution has in abundance'', I need to know which evidence you are referring to.

[mehico33]

@STU7849 Physical evidence of biblical claims would be nice (however unreasonable a request), perhaps a decent argument? I mean this is the reason I am here, arguing with several believers on youtube. I am just dying to know if anybody has anything compelling to say, as of yet im quite dissappointed with my species buying into these brands (christianity, islam etc) exclusively and yet unable to justify it whilst all to happy to tell me im wrong, a sinner and to be punished. I just dont see it.

[STU7849]

@mehico33 Your comments sound hypocritical, for you request a ''decent argument'' and complain that nobody can give evidence, but you continue to deny me the same request. WHAT IS THE EVIDENCE?? Why do you buy evolution? If you don't know say so. But your dodging the question is tiring.

[STU7849]

@mehico33 Answer my question and then I will answer yours.

[mehico33]

@STU7849 So what exactly was your question? What kind of evidence do I want? I wouldnt want to limit you to any specific type of evidence, any at all will do as long as it is affirmative. Any observable reality suggestive of design that is not explained better by other means.

Or did you want my evidence for evolution, there is the issue of geological dispensation, molecular similarities(family tree) and fossils, all presented right here on youtube. Or did you want me to demonstrate abiogenesis?

[STU7849]

@mehico33 How do DNA similarities disprove a common designer? What does the fossil record actually show? And yes, I would for you to demonstrate ''abiogenesis. Because if you can't prove that life ''just happened'' , the theory of evolution has no foundation in fact.

[mehico33]

@STU7849 "If you cant prove that life "just happened", the theory of evolution has no foundation" That is complete nonsense, evolution has never accounted for the spark of life, the book was called "On the origin of SPECIES" not "On the origin of LIFE". Abiogenesis is the strongest presentation of our understanding of Lifes origin, how can I demonstrate it to you in text? Youtube it, theres a good video with Carl Sagan somewhere.

Why should I disprove your teapot? you are the one asserting it.

[STU7849]

@mehico33  k.

[mehico33]

@STU7849 I confess I cannot formulate a solid argument as to the nonexistence of God, in fact I find intentionality kind of compelling. I refer to myself as an atheist because when one calls themself anything else, others tend to assume you believe in the "supernatural" or a specific religion. I can fathom a super being fine tuning reality but to think that it has dealings with puny humans or created ALL OF THIS with us in mind asks too much of me. Peace

[llieno]

@STU7849 The fact that life obviously happens combined with the lack of any evidence of a 'creator'.

[STU7849]

@llieno That's an oxy-moron. The fact that life happens IS proof of a creator, just like a computor is proof of an intelligent programer.

[llieno]

@STU7849 Using your 'logic' the existence of a creator is proof of a creator of the creator ad infinitum. The simplest explanation is that life just happened.

[STU7849]

@llieno You may find it to be the simplest explanation. But is it the most scientific? 

[llieno]

@STU7849 Unless you have evidence to the contrary it is the most scientific explanation.

[STU7849]

@llieno What is the only evidence we have for how life begins? For example, how did YOUR life begin? If I told you that you were some random accidental mutation, how insulting to you and your parents! And that is the only visible evidence we have. So how is ''it just happened'', scientific?

[llieno]

@STU7849 Unless you have evidence to the contrary it is the most scientific explanation.

@chancenieland Where did he say that? I must have missed it...

[VinterVandring]

Yet he still claims the greatest mystery is the origin of life. Looooooooooooooooool.

@VinterVandring Evolution =/= Origin of Life

Evolution is about the progresses life undergoes, and how it becomes more and more complex and explains why there are so many species. The origin of life is a non factor for Evolution, and we do not know how it happened in our case. There are different theories about that though (Abiogenesis and Panspermia)

Thanks for posting this.

Personally, I find evolution by natural selection, or at least natural selection itself, to be a process that 'logically' happens. If we can accept that the survival of an organism due to its superior fitness to be natural and not in need of a designer, then natural selection is obviously going to follow.

yeah i know exactly what you mean, it seems only logical that this is how it would happen

[drongovids]

He has an amazing way of speaking.

[RobertBalto]

I agree

Putting everything else aside (though it is quite relevant and true)...I have to say, he is an incredible public speaker.
