  • How did got get there then? How do you perfectly know that gid even said that? THERE ARE NO ANSWERS TO ANYTHING. THINGS ARE ALL MADE UP.

  • I'm not crazy about the ideas, but u do gotta love the sound effects in this vid

  • Comment removed

  • were here to protect the earth!

  • Jesus said "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No man comes to God the Father but by ME" as recorded by an eyewitness named John...John 14:6 Call upon Christ ask for forgiveness and HE WILL SET YOU FREE OPENING YOUR EYES TO SEE IN THE DARKNESS TO SEE HIM

  • @woodardlinda25 So do about 2000 other gods, not just yours!

  • Atheism is the new religion ...it takes faith to believe in it...

  • @woodardlinda25 Actually, no. Atheism is the position that one takes because the evidence for a god is none. There is no faith involved.

  • @woodardlinda25 Eerr no, it's a lack of faith. A religion also needs an institution and time to be credible, while scientific knowledge is always changing and is only credible through evidence. Any and probably all theory isn't truth itself, but at least they stand upon facts, also facts cannot be denied and religion has none of it!

  • @gentileman23 If you know SOOO much about SOOO many things, why don't you just run for president...im not saying you're right or wrong, im just saying it can be such a pain to the ass listening to Mr.KNOWITALL

  • lubotsulat

  • Dawkins is God.

  • Dawkins is the MAN!

  • This Vid raised more questions in my head than the simple Q why are we here - moving to part 2 now ..

  • Physicist R. Feynman quotes are relevant here:

    "I don't know WHETHER IT MEANS ANYTHING to ask 'why we are here?' If you expect science to give all the answers to the wonderful questions like 'what we are'?, 'where we are going?', 'what is the meaning of universe?' and so on, then I think you can easily become disillusioned and look for some mystic answers to these questions."

    However we would have evolved we would have wondered with same surprise how can such chain of events would be a chance?

  • telling human beings we wevolved from monkey is stupid, according to this theory Africans are still evolving because they resembe monkeys the most out of all human beings

  • @gentileman23 Yes because God grabbing a handful of dirt and magically pooffing adam into existence then grabbing adam's rib and making a woman,and being the result of thousands of generations of inbreeding and incest, is much more dignified then evolution.

  • @Lubotsulat yea well u believe that evolution just happened, and we came into existence for no appraent reason what so ever, ur the one beliving in magic here, we believe God created us for a purpose, just like man made the computer for a purpose

  • @gentileman23 and what to purpose is that?,to create and do good in this life?whats the point of that,there's just an afterlife anyway,why not do good their? what is the point of this life if it is just a buffer before eternity?.Wouldn't it be sad and lonely if he created us just to witness his glory and brag about how awesome he is?,Why was it when in his time he killed a lot of people,didn't he say life was sacred,

  • @gentileman23 How delightfully racist. And ignorant, if I might add.

  • @blackmajic13 im a dark skinned person, it is the darwinian evolution theory which is racist

  • @gentileman23 The africans do evolve, same do every ohter living being on the planet, the humans is not the ultimate life form.

  • @gumme1234 if Africans evolved how come they still have dark skin?

  • @gentileman23 they evolved to have dark skin, because higher levels of melanin in the skin is a trait that helps humans survive in those environments. think about where dark skinned humans live in the world, and where light skin people live in the world. the fact that black is almost completely african trait is great evidence for evolution. they evolved to live in that environment. more melanin allows human skin to withstand the

  • @julunted024 (cont.) climate in africa, as well as mexico, and other places of similar climate range. look at skin cancer rates in people with dark, or black skin... extremely less than light skinned people.

  • @julunted024 there is no evidence for the theory of evolution, all you have is a few dots which some schientists connect into the evolution theory

  • @gentileman23 Geology, chemistry, a rudimentary look at the similitaries between current living animals, DNA that predicts new findings and lastly the plethora of transitional fossils isn't good enough for you?

  • @gentileman23 Yea, sorry bro. You have no idea how evolution works.

  • Dawkins is gay for Darwin

  • @ColorfulHyena Forget Darwin, Dawkins is gay for Dawkins!

    I mean no disrespect the man has a great mind but he is the slightest bit pretentious.

  • Why are there random, mostly naked women in the related videos?

  • The title doesn't go with the subject, it would be more proper - How we are here.

  • when will these stupid arrogant christian creationists realize that there is no debate!!! You cant argue that 2 +2 =5! No matter what you say or how you say it it will always equal 4!!!! There is no debate over evolution- evolution is a fact, conclusivly proved- end of disscussion!

  • The reason is by the most random and slight chance of evolution, there isnt really a reason or what you were put here for, but that is for everyone to use their lives for whatever they want.

  • #1. I have come a long way in the past year. From truly doubting the existence of God, to a position of 'but maybe'. Dickens wrote the law is an ass. Perhaps he could have amended that to include science. With it's cold, clinical, uncompromising demand for proof, it makes no room for intuition. Dawkins says nature is indifferent. But is there not a consequence to cruelty and a true benefit to every kindness. That is not a measurable proof but something we all understand regardless -cont'd

  • #2. That the world comprises what we physically know by our senses is undoubtedly so. But couldn't it be more? I will never accept the God of a moldy, antiquated book from another age. That vengeful creature is the stuff of nightmares. But perhaps the physical world is only a single piece of the puzzle and when the time comes to leave it, we receive another. Science has not taught me God doesn't exist. Only that he will never be proven. And I can live with that. I don't need to know.

  • "Help me, Jebus!" - Homer Simpson

  • love these videos. thanks much

  • koala bear

  • I guess there's only around 40,000 people right now who care about their existence, compared to caring about Beiber (or however you say his name)

  • HAHHAHAHAHA 0:30 TROLLFACE XD

  • He looks a little bit like Roy Cropper in the beginning.

  • @345267348 he is a professor of science. you can teach law with out being a lawyer cant you?

  • @345267348

    Uhhhhh he actually does have a doctorate in science...and philosophy. He also has a Masters degree in Zoology.

    I'm fairly certain that ALL of those titles require a LOT of research. They don't just hand them out to men with clever sounding accents.

    He has even published several books based on his scientific research.

    Don't be silly :)

  • Natural selection indeed explains evolution once the law was set in place, but it does not, and will not, explain WHY it began to begin with.  From the moment the big bang began, in every split second, non-organic reactions requiring exact configurations of the trillionth degree, took place one after the other, each requiring an exact precision of the proceeding reaction, eventually leading to carbon, eventually leading to us. WHY does gravity, natural selection, electromagnetism, etc, exist?

  • @nicknock1987 lol, evolution is evolution, abiogenesis is abiogenesis, cosmogenesis is cosmogenesis, these are different fields of study and will never change the subject matter as i.e.evolution studying the big bang, you just show yourself that you are unimformed, if you can't explain why the laws of physics are like this, then it means that you can't explain them, not because there is an invisible sky daddy, science works to find the answer and doesn't blindly guess without evidence and reason

  • "If you know your reality, you will be able to know the reality of the world. It is a strange thing that most people do not care to know about their own reality, but are very anxious to know about the reality of the world. You realise your own Self first and then see if the world exists independently of you and is able to come and assert before you it's reality or existence." - Ramana Maharishi.

  • Animals, their purpose is to survive and reproduce. For people, I guess their purpose is to do what their emotions tell them too.

  • @Brazilboy101 Fortunately there is a guess word in your comments. There are plaint of evidences that non-human animals have emotions and feelings and of course to survive and reproduce as you have mentioned.

  • Interesting video Richard. I appreciate your effort. But could you answer this:

    Why was the universe organized enough to facilitate evolution?

    Simple matter evolved over milions of years and formed everything including us. But where did simple matter come from to begin with?

  • Riochard Dawkings the guy who told us that life was created by aliens guided panspermia it called and we must believe him.and thew perpose of life from a evolution theory prospective is to die and let the fitest to survive.Nice fuck that i believe we have a purpose and that it to become a better self of our self help the not so lucky then us and help the not so good in life and not to kill them like the nazi did havig darwin theory as a compass.

  • @MegaDimon1991 Don't blame Darwin's work for what the Natzis did. You can say the same about religion and "killing in the name of God". Almost all who believe in evolution, or rather "understand that it's right", it's not a theory, will agree with you that one should try to be a better person and "help the not so lucky". In one way one could say evolution gives this even more reason since all life is related in a way. It all depends on how you interpret it.

  • @staraffinity I don't blame Darwin i actually like him he was a rebel of his time he counter the other people stereotypes but he also wanted to include in his work a divine selector but he realized if he did that nobody would read his book that why he put the idea of natural selection.Whatever i just wanna the other side to have a chance to express them self we live in a free society i think so but not they have been silenced and kick out from the institutes that make me angry.

  • I'm glad Dawkins finds the watchmaker argument fairly convincing. It's the one that almost tipped me towards the theist side during the time when I still called myself agnostic.

  • @GuacamoleKun And now its been proven to be utter nonsense lol

  • Dawkins' first name is Clinton? LOL.

    That was the name of a kid I went to school with. He was always in detention.

  • Love your videos and Richard Dawkins

  • Why are we here? Plastic, assholes! ;)

  • Love you Mr. Dawkins!

  • we exist to survive and extend our species as far into the future as possible.

  • Why are We Here? And, the most important question... Who farted?

  • Why am I here? Because my parents and grandparents and great-grand parents had kids. Dawkins and God say the same thing: Go forth and multiply. Fuck yeah!!

  • If we decended from apes then why do scientist commit horrific experiments on them. If what Dawkins is saying true; we should bow down to apes not treat them horrifically. I love Jane Goodall.

  • @NorthNorth2009 Apes and Humans have a common ancestor. Not like- here is a chimp... now it stands up- that picture was misleading as heck.

    I don't think people do any experiments now on Apes unless they feel they must anymore. Most tests are done on rats- which are also remarkably close to humans! Which is why things such as depression/anxiety medication is often tested on rats. Rats are also used in cancer research. Not only does this benefit people, but also animals who get the disease.

  • @JoeyWheelerKaiba They just arrested a scientist in the UK who is experimenting on apes.  He is mixing human DNA with animals. His whole lab has been sequestered. It's really horrific.

  • To get rich; ask Richard Dawkins.

  • Dear Richard Dawkins,

    Please debate Dr. William Lane Craig in a public debate. He has debated the majority of your fellow atheists and now challenges you. Please stop running and make your stand. As one of the foremost defenders of the Christian faith, Dr. Craig has challenged you multiple times and you have refused time and time again.

  • @ApologeticsArsenal meaning:

    dear doctor in science that spend years studying and learning,

    please debate with one person with no education, that is the champion of bronze age superstitions. other educated people already agree to debate with him.

    he has challenged you multiple times in the same way knights use to do it in the dark ages, and you have refused time and time again.

  • @maximilianitoaguirre They'll never get it. I could challenge Richard Dawkins to a debate about the invisible elephant on my head and say I won when he denies me a debate just as easily as creationists would.

  • @maximilianitoaguirre WOW LOOK AT THIS NOOB. he still cannot get why the Empiricist Dawkins wont spend a time debating an Apologist WLC.

    Hahahahahahha YOU REALLY LOVE the kind of rhetorical styles WLC does huh? coz it supports your GOD DELUSION. go learn more and maybe one day you will see how CHILDISH WLC's arguments are :D

  • @ApologeticsArsenal Not going to happen dude. Look up the video: 'Why Richard Dawkins Doesn't Debate Creationists'. No scientist owes anyone who believes in fairy tales an ounce of their time.

  • dude.  Carl Sagan did this show 30 years ago.

  • There is no why...only how.

  • im here cause i popped out of my mom and dad.. so did u =D

  • Richard Sagan

  • Darwin has nothing to do with it.

    Evolution doesn't address the why, only the how.

  • PLEASE ADD GREEK SUBTITLES !!!

  • If god exist he is one sick fuck haha

  • the queastion is Why, not How. If you say that it's all evolution and meaning is to reproduce- well i could figure out that by my self. I know that it is impossible to answer Why, but you could try better

  • @suteners2111 There is no answer. We don't have a why. Why are there mountains? What purpose do they serve?

  • out of all the species we are the only ones who question our existance. will we ever find an answer? beggers in china cut their limbs off so tourists give them money. why do they want to live so badly when thier life is shit?

  • A character on the American television program "WKRP in Cincinatti" asked the question "Why are we here?" to which one of the other characters answered "As opposed to where?"

  • @michaeljpatrick As opposed to nowhere...

  • @sm1carnage you fucking genius. red vs blue

  • I am searching for an answer, a biological conundrum maybe I will find it in this place of learning...why oh why do I have a fourteen inch dick ?

  • @sm1carnage me too, I'm always pondering things like that. Everything is so fascinating. Sometimes I get so fucking freaked out, like what the hell am I and where the hell am i and what is all this stuff? ugh im freaked out now.

  • I didnt watch the whole video, but your sure hope science can answer the question. Your not sure

  • its definitely a nail in the coffin now

  • I don't believe in god but the evolution theory is also a bullshit.How the fucking fish came out of the water and lived?The fish became frog,the forg became dinosaur,the dinosaur became ape and the ape became human?I don't believe in god but i also don't believe in evolution,i don't know what the fuck i am :D

  • @Seduc3r Maybe you just need a better understanding of how evolution works is all.

  • @Seduc3r An idiot, probably. You obviously don't have a clear understanding of how evolution works, so why deny it? Research something before you come up with an opinion of it, otherwise you look like an unintelligent, bigoted religious person.

  • @MrAashiq12 i respect others opinions. evolution is a proven fact, so you cant dispute that we come from apes. apes come from smaller life forms that have evolved over millionsof years. i hope you werent asking me to illustrate some sort of point or argument...all you illustrated is how little you know about the subject of evolution and science. and this ignorance is probably why you've chosen to turn to a God. but you've probably been brought up believing and share your parents beliefs

  • @MrAashiq12 No. You can't say something GOT TO BE LIKE THAT before you actually know how it come to being. Thats what science is. Find the answer and shut the fuck up until you do.

  • @MrAashiq12 it has been proven that these things got here through millions upon billions of years of evolution...no scientist is saying it "just got there", there is no leap of faith here. However, although we cannot prove there isn't a creator, there is no proof to say that there is. And i'm guessing you believe that creator is Allah, or God?. I agree with your points about materialistic lives. I dont live a materialistic life at all, and I understand it is illogical to say we were created.

  • the answer is 42 lolz

  • I'm sorry richard I can't help my self.... THE ANSWER TO THE ULTIMATE QUESTION IS 42..... sorry i need to say that when i ever hear the question... lol hitch hickers guide to the galaxy

  • @MrAashiq12

    No sir, the point is: YOU do believe, not me.

  • @MrAashiq12

    This earth isn't created by a human. It isn't 'created' at all.

    And where is your evidence for your statements?

    "...universe has to be creations of God..." I don't think so, nothing points towards that.

  • @jabe55

    Huh? And there you are again... You don't keep your promise. Like a real christian...

    You promised me to leave. So: leave!

  • @jabe55

    You said this before, but every time you come back, unfortunately.

  • @butterchicken4

    ...and he doesn't see it for himself. :-)

  • @dawkinschannel Darwin was a sick twisted incestuous fuck who married his cousin and tried to convince himself that God wouldn't punish him for this incest, hence the evolutuonary theory. You and Dawkins are both lovers of incest and pedophilia.

  • @jabe55 If Adan an Eve were the first people in the world created by "God", and they had kids and those kids had more, arent we a product of incest??????? Religious DumbFuck

  • Also Darwin never said there was no designer, he was an agnostic who said he didn't know and his letters straightly reveal this.

  • They're all made up? So high-end philosophy, ethics, and natural philosophy of ancient societies which were the building stones for science were all made up?

  • the answer is why would we not be here

  • i love this fucki nchannel !

  • Im going to hang myself, theres no point to life...

  • I may not have evidence for God, But i just believe in God.

    All we are doing is describing everything that is already there, we did not put it there so it must have got there some how....

    I don't believe in a religion, but i do believe in a Creator.

  • I hate when religious people use the watch maker arguement. Of course when we see a watch it had a designer. It is not an organic living being. A watch is forged metal and intricate metal gears. Metal gears and the such do not form themselves. Protein strands and simple cells can make themselves.

  • If you can't enjoy life without having a purpose you need to refocus.

    we don't know everything in 2010 so meanwhile do something you enjoy!

  • but what was so special about darwin, that he knew the answer to "why are we here" ?

  • If god created everything, then who created god?

  • What's with all the ridiculous electrical 'zapping' sounds?! Ha ha.

    I'm on board though.

  • aaahhh what i wouldn't give to be dawkins apprentice.......lmao how cultish is that

  • When mankind will be able to answer that question without any doubt we will be gods.

  • but why something rather than nothing

  • It's a shame that religious people don't embrace the emergence of the atheist movement as a chance to rethink their ways.

    Probably because of all the money that their books so forcefully condemn

  • I wanna thank poster for Dawkins vids. I completely share his opinion. Religion is plague from past. I can`t see how come it is still there.

  • @ssflip

    you have not any proof for this statement, poorly.

  • @ssflip

    Please elaborate...

  • @ssflip Dawins "theory" makes a whole lot of sense to the current state of our existence. Multiple tests have been done to prove that life can come from stars energetic sources of light. And that life does not have to be organic on order to be considered "life". Life takes time to adapt to a environment, and the term Christians use "the Earth is in the perfect distance from the sun to form life". It is incorrect. hydrothermal vents can produce life without having a source of sunlight. 170F

  • @ssflip Tidal flexing=Geological activity=Geothermal=extremofil­es. No need for sunlight.

  • @ssflip

    for simple people that's indeed a sufficient answer.

  • @dawkinschannel for simple indeed, but can you explain why the quran can explain from what humans we're made, which is over 1600 years back? I don't think that time they had science to prove that. the quran is a scientific book in itself

  • @dawkinschannel EAT SHIT!!!!!!

  • @MVT44

    Hahahaha, you're sad.

  • @dawkinschannel. I actually don't even know who that comment was meant for. Dawkins in an amazing man who should come rule America.... If only he was born here.

  • @MVT44

    So... who has to eat shit then?

  • @dawkinschannel

    Where can I buy this DvD?

  • As my favorite author Terry Pratchett put it: Where else should we be?

  • Better to evolve from a primate, then to be made out of dirt, and mutilated ribs.

  • "Im not an aminal, i'm a hyumen!" "God put fossils in the sediment to confuse you!" "Vaccines cause autism!" "2012 will bring the antichrist" "Mayan calendar!" "Atheism is a religion!"  "I think I know what you did last night! --Send me a thousand dollars and I won't tell your wife!" Famous creationist words.

  • @mmmmmarcus

    L.o.l. (and c.o.l.)

  • @mmmmmarcus they are good entertainment in their ignorance. Very Funny. LOL

  • @cynballard Indeed they are. Did you see the video where that muslim claimed a man was happy that a scorpion stung his camel, then the man gets happy, kicks the camel, and the man's leg melts? PhilHellenes has a video about him. Creationists are funny.

  • @mmmmmarcus and regrettably, not creationist last words.

  • @mmmmmarcus why would a Loving God want to Fuck with are heads mate, putting fossils in sediments

    Dear god you are a retard!!!!!

  • @yxrcbszg Five exclamation points, no question-mark, and you manage to put a fucking comma there. LOL I'm so sorry. Your parents fucked your head up.

  • Interesting point of view, but, did they found something??

  • I watched many of his documentaries......it seems he use Darwin theory for attacking religion all the time rather thn thinking abt anything else frm his own mind.......it seems he is one of the fundamentalist extremist who dont want to know or hear anything else thn his accepted view abt the world and all living beings !!!!!

  • @Samiitd Because there's no evidence to support all the other claims, it's as simple as that. Give me scientific evidence of the divine and i'll believe you, and don't give me a passage from an ancient book. If someone came up to you and claimed he was the son of god, would you believe him? No, you'd ask for evidence to support his claims...

  • Not opinion, actual legit fact that the universe is made from energy and cluster of energy.

    Evolution is a mod and NOT creation itself. Think of it like someone taking a game console and mod it into a computer tower. Is the mod what created the console? No. Only improves or alters the trait and use of the console.

  • If something is claimed to exist but does not impinge on man in any way whatsoever, we can safely say that it does not exist as far as human existence is concerned. This purported mirage may still exist somewhere in the universe or another universe. However, since this alleged object or event does not manifest itself to us, it does not affect us in any way whatsoever and we must simply state that it does not exist as far as human beings are concerned.

  • @PersianPaladin

    "Nature is god?" What's that supposed to mean?!

    That's a religious statement and says, in fact, nothing.

    It's your opinion - and that's fine - but nothing more.

  • @dawkinschannel Richard dawkins says we are all apes. Thats not very inspiring...

  • @AegeanKing

    We ARE all apes you dumb shit. lol. We are members of the primate family!
