  • for those of you who don't want to hear this bloke blab on just skip to 1:57

  • Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant.

  • He keeps begging the question.

  • This is not a matter of discussion, God is God whether you believe it or not. One day we will be in front of the Most High God...that day we will not even be able to open our mouth.

  • 3:54 Charmander.

  • Subhan Allah :-)

    Translation: Surah Al-Mumenoon

    "Man We did create from a quintessence (of clay); (12) Then We placed him as (a drop of) sperm in a place of rest firmly fixed; (13) Then We made the sperm into a clot of congealed blood; then of that clot We made a (foetus) lump; then We made out of that lump bones and clothed the bones with flesh; then We developed out of it another creature: so blessed be Allah, the Best to create! (14) After that at length ye will die. (15)"

    ~ Peace to all ~

  • @mannonova What is your point?

  • @Nikdimon316;

    Muhammad source is God and was always accused of copying Bible, but why did not he copied WRONG Bible version of Fetus development as mentioned in Job blelow?

    JOB: 10: 8 8 “Your hands shaped me and made me. Will you now turn and destroy me?

    9 Remember that you molded me like clay. Will you now turn me to dust again?

    10 Did you not pour me out like milk and curdle me like cheese,

    11 clothe me with skin and flesh and knit me together with bones and sinews?

  • Let no man tell me that the embriyo is not a human baby and that abortion is not child murdering.

  • Pro-choice people spamming the "like" bar.

  • This brought me to tears!

  • @SOSTacoJohnson willful ignorance as well as your own narrow-mindedness are revealed by your comment

  • god is awesome

  • Awesome!

  • whats the name of the song that starts at 1:57? please, i wanna know, i really love it

  • @ClairDeLune3 Gloria In D, RV 589 - Et In Terra Pax Hominibus by vivaldi, every one talks about this amazing video, but for some reason, no body says something about the song, i mean it is more than amazing, is like be touched by god, or something like that, i don´t know if u are the first asking about that amazing song. greets.

  • eye opening video.

  • "O People, if you should be in doubt about the Resurrection, then [consider that] indeed, We created you from dust, then from a sperm-drop, then from a clinging clot, and then from a lump of flesh, formed and unformed - that We may show you. And We settle in the wombs whom We will for a specified term, then We bring you out as a child, and then [We develop you] that you may reach your [time of] maturity. And among you is he who is taken in [early] death, and among you is he who is.." Quran 22:5

  • @farispt Dr Galin had this information jotted down centuries before Muhammad and his source decided to make it part of the Quran. And guess what.. Galin was WRONG. Which means that Muhammad and the Quran are wrong too.

  • For this complexity is of one design that is the source of life, our Creator Jehovah who out does any scientific creation or clone that will only by His command breathe His life into us that we may not in our own strength but in our weakness glorify God our Father, Designer and Source of Life!

  • You are all stupid. Shut up and learn.

  • Wow! Amazing! Precious gift of life! Devine creation! God is great, A

  • 332 people were no born,they evolved spontaneously !

  • The arguing to and fro about 'design' really doesn't appeal to me. It certainly is not what Alexander Tsiaras is talking about in this video. It seems to me that the ability to marvel, is getting obstructed, if not destroyed by a totally inefficient approach to science: either by those who fear science, or by those who play the game of claiming science as 'being their mindset' - as if rational theists are de facto incapable of accepting science. But science never excludes wonderment.

  • How Awesome Is Our God, Our Creator!!! His Gift of LIFE...

  • @mindyy92 (continued) The reason you can't see why your analogy fails is because you're using love. Love is inherently good. Without thinking too deeply about it, one might be tempted to say that more love is always good. However, "loving" the murderer in my previous example is simply wrong. It is unjust. Being loved more than you deserve is unjust, by definition. If it is just to love someone "more than they deserve", then they clearly deserve more love.

  • Whoa. Is all I can say.

    And by the way, to you people fighting, you all sound dumb.

  • @Laceylove303 not sure what they are fighting about, no matter who you are or what you believe if you can look at this and not understand that something divine is taking place then you are lost human being.

  • magnificent! 

  • Shut up. Give the ladies 3 weeks of choice. If they need more, 6 weeks max with a special legal permission.

    No MAN should tell any woman that abortion is not a choice.

  • @thesalamih Madame, that is pure BS. A man fathered the child that a woman wants to murder. He, as the father, has a right to have his views heard and entered into the discussion. After all, the child is half his doing.

    As for abortion, the Constitution does NOT give ANYONE the "right" to terminate innocent human lives. Period. End of discussion. Roe was the worst decision ever by the Supreme Court, resulting in over 40 million murdered human beings.

  • *This* is why mathematicians should stay out of biology.

  • ESTA CLASE DE VÍDEOS DEBEN DE TENER SUBTITULO EN ESPAÑOL SI NO PUEDEN SER DOBLADOS

  • @juce60: Deja de escribir en puras mayusculas. Es infantil.

    @estrellitamia01: Si hay subtitulos. Ve a ted.com/talks/lang/es/alexande­r_tsiaras_conception_to_birth_­visualized.html

  • ¿Pudieran decirme si se consigue en castellano por favor?

    ¡¡Grande Tsiaras!!

  • divinity my ass

  • marvellous!

  • MUY BUENO!! DESDE LA CONCEPCION HAY VIDA HUMANA. ABORTAR ES MATAR A UN SER HUMANO INOCENTE.

  • "God of the gaps" argument doesn't fly. The more scientists learn, the less they can explain how this happened by accident. This kind of complexity just can't happen without intelligence and design. Eons of time don't fill the gaps either. That's all evolutionists have to offer instead of intelligence: time and accidental mutations.

  • IT IS NO MYSTERY IT IS A GOD GIVEN 'MIRICLE. PRAISE THE LORD...

  • IN GODS IMAGE.

  • And [remember:] God creates [every one of] you out of dust, [8] then out of a drop of sperm; and then He fashions you into either of the two sexes. [9] And no female conceives or gives BIRTH unless it be with His knowledge; and none that is long-lived has his days lengthened - and neither is aught lessened of his days - unless it be thus laid down in [God’s] decree: for, behold, all this is easy for God. -  ( 35:11 Quran)

  • @aijazsayeed Shut the fuck up about your Quran

    Sincerely

    Science

  • Everytime he says that some thing is "beyond our current comprehension, therefore it's most probably supernatural" i rolled my eyes. By the end of the talk i was dizzy from it.

    Oh look a new knowledge gap, quick better fill it with God ASAP.

    It's like Europeans discovering the Egyptian pyramids, and instantly concluding that "Aliens did it" as if this is a perfectly reasonable assumption. wtf

  • @roidroid he mentioned the "divine" only once. Please use reasonable argumentation, not emotional reactionism.

  • @darrella2 nope, way more than that

  • @roidroid Oh look, another atheist pretending they have a monopoly on science. As usual, bedroom know-it-all's aka "internet scientists" criticize people who are way beyond their intelligence and knowledge by pretending they are authorities on all things scientific because they told mommy and daddy they don't believe in God, but instead in evolutionz durr. Meanwhile, almost all discoveries and great achievements came from theists while atheists #1 accomplishment was mass-murder.

  • @haterdrinkinhaterade What are you talking about? What roidroid said is absolutly worth noting. The human race has been doing the same errors since the birth of science. As soon as we're faced with something we do not understand at the time, or find to complex for our brain to comprehend we immediately put a god in the gap just so that we can sleep safe and sound at night, knowing that we know everything.

    Honestly, that's pathetic, the beauty of not knowing yet (if ever) is underestimated.

  • @MalcolmAkner And on second note: what qualifies as a "great achievment"? Cause before the 19th century hardly anyone was an atheist so of course people who discovered things would be theists.

    I can use the same argument against you and point to George W. Bush and say: Well he believed in a god and was retarded, therefore I assume that you're also retarded.

    You see how the argument just doesn't work in the real world?

    That last portion is not even worth mentioning.

  • @MalcolmAkner You will have to close the space I put between the .org

    It wouldnt let me put a website in the post so I had to separate it to make it not look like a website.

  • @MalcolmAkner To show the stupidity of your remark: George W Bush rose to become President of the United States. To what high office have YOU ever been elected by "We The People"? Your assertion is merely an opinion, and without proof (FACTS!) it has no value whatsoever. Now go back to your sandbox and grow up!

  • @DeedsResearcher He started an entire war based on a dream he had where God told him to. Are you telling me that that's sane?

    Ok, maybe it was a bad example, but I was trying to show that generalizing an entire group of people based on whether you don't believe in God or not is stupid.

  • @MalcolmAkner The war vs Saddam was brought on a valid point. Desert Storm ended with a ceasefire agreement, with the USA being granted unlimited weapons inspections. After 9/11, Saddam said "no more inspections", an abrogation of the Ceasefire terms. As Red Auerbach once taught me, "If a man's word is no good, his signature is no good, too." Saddam went back on his signed word, and considering the events of 9/11, we had little choice but to go after him, once and for all.

  • @DeedsResearcher

    Some sense at last! I was beginning to think that history can be re-written. Too bad most idiots still believe that the US went after Iraq because of oil, though.. and that belief isn't just confined to US citizens.

  • @DraughtOfPeace Nice to see that someone recognizes it. Iraq does not have enough oil for us to justify going to war over it. As it was, the security of the USA was potentially at riskj, and Bush did what he HAD to do. Yes, he delayed, giving Saddam almost a full year. But this shoots down the charges that President Bush was a "war monger"... something he never was!

  • @MalcolmAkner Both the belief in God and Evolution are religion. I base this on the fact that they are both comprised of beliefs with ''proof'' and beliefs without ''proof''. These videos I am giving you a link to is what made me realize that evolution and science are not as sound as I once thought they were. Please give it a chance. Get back to me.

    Start with the third video down called ''Bones in Stones''

    Here is the link: walterveith. org/walter-veith-genesis-confl­ict-series.html

  • @GettingThinAgain88 I will definitely check them out. But please, don't call evolution a religion. I bet that you don't call gravity or plate tectonics a religion either.

    For something to be called a "religion" it needs a set of belief systems which evolution do not have since it's science. And of course science won't always be 100% correct, it's changing all the time depending on our equipment and our minds. But with science we can learn to better understand our universe and it's occupants.

  • @MalcolmAkner after you watch a video or two from The Genesis Conflict Series you will understand why I call evolution a religion :) I apologize if I have offended anyone with that comment, it is how I veiw it based on the facts I have learned. Get back to me and tell me what you think after you watch the Bones in Stones vid (if you want to of course)

  • DragonSlayer/ It's outrageous to tell someone not to bring a soul into this conversation. Look at the picture. dah, dah, It's a living being -a soul. an intellect. Therefore discussion stands.

  • Simply sublime...

  • I'm gonna puke...brb

  • Its really an amazing video...but that guy went beyond using just jargons...it became a bit too technical with all the terminologies but, still, it was a great video-I learnt something.. :)

  • Water4Jeremiah, hay sí sacerdotes católicos que están en laboratorios de aceleradores de partículas subatómicas. ¿Estás trodavía tan atrasado como para pensar que la ciencia se opone a la fe o que la fe se opene a la ciencia? Decía Pasteur (¿lo coonoces?) que la poca ciencia aleja de Dios, y la mucha ciencia acerca a Dios. ¿Cómo estamos por casa?

  • For all 'pro'-lifers there is the ultimate christmass present:

  • One day we are a rock tehe an nex one we are alive?? that would be similar to an adult human being, who through an accident loses the ability to think, or lose the sense of pain or loses the intelligence .. Now he is dead?

    I repeat, humans can not be and then be ... we are from the beginning ... from conception!

  • A stone is a stone from the beginning, a plant is a plant from seed ...

    Humans are humans since the embryo (sperm and egg together) are a pair of cells that we have everything necessary to develop and grow, to be human, all we need at this stage is food and care of our mother, as any newborn child ... we have life ...

    Why we insist on believing that humans have life since our nervous system is formed: 12 weeks or after our birth, 9 months? Is not this an aberration?...

  • "When we no longer look at an organic being as a savage looks at a

    ship, as something wholly beyond his comprehension; when we regard

    every production of nature as one which has had a long history; when

    we contemplate every complex structure and instinct as the summing

    up of many contrivances, each useful to the possessor [...];

    when we thus view each organic being, how far more interesting [...]does the study of natural history become!"

    -Darwin

    Don't idolize ignorance. Knowledge is exhilarating

  • @PBDPBD “The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed.” -Albert Einstein

    If Darwin knew about the complexity of life down to the "simplest" living cell he would have scrapped his theory as rubbish. It was a theory founded on imagination but mostly on ignorance, not unlike an adult fairy tale.

  • @tubular618 "The word god is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weaknesses, the Bible a collection of honourable, but still primitive legends which are nevertheless pretty childish. No interpretation no matter how subtle can (for me) change this." -- Einstein

    Are you a biologist? That is utter BS. OVER 99.9% of biologists worldwide not only accept the fact of evolution, but do not even consider creationism to be a valid alternative. google "CA/CA111.html"

  • @tubular618 The only thing that is founded on ignorance is your argument, creationism, (although by far it seems to be MISinformation, not just ignorance), and religion as a whole.

  • @PBDPBD Not really. Naturalism ("if something can't be analyzed by science, it doesn't exist") is not proven correct because science continues to be correct. The assumption that religion is wrong because atheism tries to equate naturalism with science is ridiculous.

  • @GruntLogic 1) huh? are you replying to the right person? I never once mentioned naturalism nor implied that religion is wrong because atheism does anything. Your reply is a complete non-sequitur.

    2) Google "naturalism". If anything, you're talking about logical positivism, NOT naturalism. LP is not widely accepted, and I don't.

    3) Religion (BELIEVING something on faith) is wrong because it is by definition illogical and fallacious. The content could be true, but the belief is wrong.

  • @PBDPBD How adorable, leave it to someone who is an 'internet scientist' and has no knowledge of bio-algorithmic functions to tell a genius not to idolize ignorance.

  • @haterdrinkinhaterade I am a scientist (a biologist), but that's beside the point. The point is that your comments are worthless ad hominems. Either make a point or shut up. Don't attack people you don't know for talking about things you know nothing about.

  • @PBDPBD How dare you say this man is ignorant? His whole presentation is bringing knowledge to anyone who views its mind. And just because Darwin had a theory doesn't make this video's invalid.

  • @kittysaurusRAWR I didn't say he is ignorant, If you're talking about the top post, I never even MENTIONED him. However, I would say that he does idolize ignorance. Just listen to how he literally equates "mystery" (ie. ignorance) with "magic" and "divinity" at 7:50.

    He is not a biologist. Hell, he's not even a scientist. He might know a lot more about human development than your average person (which knows almost nothing), but doesn't compare to the knowledge of an expert.

  • @PBDPBD ITS GOD

  • Pharyngulated. TEDtalks legitimizing woo? Fail, I am disappoint. :(

  • Great footage. Terrible talk.

  • also: the wolf spider mommy carries her babies on her back. amazing.

  • This is an outrage! It is "Intelligent Design," aka "Creationism," masquerading as pseudo-science! It is not "magic," or a "miracle;" it is evolutionary biology. No "intelligence" went into brain folds. The woman's body does not "know" how to sustain a fetus! This is also anti-choice propaganda! The 1st division of cells of the "baby?!" This entire presentation is disrespectful of the TED audience, of scientific research and of women's rights to choose! SHAME on TED for this propaganda video!

  • @rriverstone1 "it is evolutionary biology."

    It's simpler than that. It's chemistry.

  • @coasterpro Yes and no. The principles of chemistry are fundamental but the emergent properties cannot be deduced solely from the chemical properties. As example, natural selection has no connection to the chemistry.

  • According to Tsiaris, mistakes are not made in human development. Has he never heard of spina bifida, anencephaly, etc.? Only in his computer world is everything perfect.

    "the complexities are beyond human comprehension" Tsiaris parades his ignorance as evidence of something being miraculous, magical, and divine. Does he really have no idea that all mammals, in fact all animals, develop in similar ways? This talk is far beneath the usually high standards of TED talks. How disappointing.

  • I expected less religious mysticism from TED.

  • An embryo/foetus can be considered to have his/her own rights so long as he/she can live independent of the mother, otherwise that embryo/foetus is as much a part of the mother as any other of her organs and thus is subject to the mother’s right to decide to keep or remove said organ. An embryo/fetus that has been aborted prior to achieving a level of development that would allow it to exist outside of the womb has not lost anything that it wouldn’t have had if it never existed at all.

  • @AmericaN8marE I don't see how degree of independence or level of development can be of any relevance to whether or not the embryo has a right to life. Born baby's are less developed than adults and depend on other persons for their survival but that decrease their right to life. Its just arbitrary, moreover the embryo is a distinct human being with it's own unique DNA and therefore it is not analogues to 'any other of the mom's organs'.

  • @AmericaN8marE Moreover, how can the location of the unborn (in the womb) be of any relevance to whether or not that human being has a right to life? how can a trip of a few inches down the uterus magically transform a non valuable tissue bulp to a valuable human person with a right to life when first it had none? its just arbitrary.

  • @AmericaN8marE You said "An embryo/fetus that has been aborted prior to achieving a level of development that would allow it to exist outside of the womb has not lost anything that it wouldn’t have had if it never existed at all. " but it has lost something,namely his or her life and the potentiality to keep on living

  • Did this idiot really call a fertilized egg that divides for the first time a BABY? By this logic many babies die and their last resting place is on a sanitary napkin. Maybe we should have a religious ceramoney and bury the napkins and tampons in the church yard.

  • @OurFadedGarden

    Don't be ignorant, the cells in the napkins are just the leftovers of the unfertilized eggs, which obviously will never become babies unless fertilized, duh.

  • @ImpmonX

    pls remember there is a period between fertilisation (in fallopian tubes ) and implantation (in endometrium). Fertilised eggs may fail to implant for a variety of intrinsic or extrinsic reasons & so fertilised eggs may appear naturally in menstrual fluid

  • PS What is that beautiful music?!

  • God aside (Whom I love with all my being), BOTH cells are alive and they create a living human being at the moment of conception.

  • @DonMeaker. You have confirmed my worst fears. I rest my case.

  • Amazing! Wonderful! That video clip was a work of art it is so important for a woman to always take multi vitamins because even the basic multi vitamins for women contain folic acid and by the time most women realize they are pregnant (sometimes 30 days into pregnancy) the fetus has already done so much growth

  • Amazing video, shows the truth that life begins at the point of conception, and that most abortions are done when the heart is beating. To quote Thomas Jefferson" We hold these truths to be self evident;that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their creator with inherent & inalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, & the pursuit of happiness...." It is sad that some people feel abortion is okay, I pray their is a realization that killing humans is inhumane : (

  • How can any woman who ever saw a video like this one still wanna have kids? Instinct is so strong, unbelievable...

  • Was the making of this movie associated with the death of any of the embryos or fetuses?

  • Surely I should request approval from man to propose what is and what is not life; as do I with all my beliefs. Why should I consent with the divine about what the mortals do not know? Surely man is the judge and it is God who is in question. I will trust in my own logic which is my own creation and is perfect, for my reasoning is supreme to the supreme one himself. I know this. I will not listen to anything that I can not make sense of, for surly I understand all that is true.

  • @CountryGrandma1 Prove it. What's that? you can't? you have no evidence whatsoever to support your claims, instead you rely on faith?

    THAT is the epitome of arrogance. What could be any more arrogant than thinking so highly of yourself that you do not think you need to test your beliefs against reality? To think that your own stupid gut feeling and wishful thinking is all that is needed to determine the TRUTH? Faith constitutes an unimaginable amount of arrogance.

  • @PBDPBD And what makes you think I have NOT tested my faith against reality? I have lived this faith for 40 years, and seen miracles from God that YOU would say is just coincidence! Just look around you. Even the TREES are evidence of an intelligent design! How can YOU believe that all life, indeed, even the UNIVERSE, just 'happened'? There had to be SOMEONE Who brought order out of chaos! Someone Who had to create the ATOM , the building blocks for everything! They could NOT create themselves!

  • @CountryGrandma1 As for how I can believe what I believe- because as a biologist, I have spent years studying these matters in much detail. I HAVE "looked around me" at trees/etc very closely. There is a reason why biologists have the lowest rates of religiosity among any scientists (~40% belief in god, compared to ~90% among laypeople). No, there didn't have to be someone who brought order, and the best to illustrate why is to ask- who brought order to that someone?

  • @CountryGrandma1 The Bible is not evidence for the existence of God. That is a circular argument. You fail at logic.

  • @coasterpro Just look around you. There is order in the Universe. Order does not come by itself, there has to be SOMEONE to bring order. Your BIG BANG theory creates chaos, not order! The DNA of humans is different than that of the apes! Their bone structure resembles, but is not alike that of humans.Darwin's Finches from which he postulated his theory, were not an example of evolution, they were examples of Adaptation! All the so-called 'missing Links", have been proven to be NON-HUMAN.

  • @CountryGrandma1 Presumably, god is a highly complex, ordered being, right? so therefore BY YOUR OWN LOGIC, he must have a designer. And that designer must have another designer....ad infinitum. The fact is that the only way to avoid this problem is to go from simple to complex, from disordered to ordered. Human DNA is 98% identical to that of chimps. Adaptation, BY DEFINITION is evolution. OF COURSE all "missing links" MUST be non-human! The point is that they're in transition.

  • @CountryGrandma1 "Order does not come by itself, there has to be SOMEONE to bring order."

    Cold is not a "someone" and yet it brings order to water; in the form of lovely ice crystals, sometimes snow. Gravity is not a "someone" and yet it brings order to interstellar gas leading to the formation of highly ordered planets, stars and galaxies. Granted, life is more complex, but not more mysterious when you begin looking at the chemistry of it. Simple rules lead to complex order.

  • @coasterpro I Think you're missing the picture... Something needs to bring the order in the water, as you acknowledged. What brings order to water is the cold. But someone is still using that cold to bring order to water (in her theory)

  • @coasterpro why do we have to feel like we are so rightous, there is a king, there is a creator, there is GOD, JESUS REIGNS!

  • @CountryGrandma1 "Darwin's Finches from which he postulated his theory, were not an example of evolution, they were examples of Adaptation!"

    No. Evolution is a general term encompassing all of the many processes of adaptation in nature; ie. natural selection, genetic drift, hybridization, gene flow, etc.. Another way to think about it: evolution is what occurs, adaptation is how it occurs. But these terms can be easily muddled, as you've so willfully demonstrated.

  • @CountryGrandma1 I'd argue with you but your understanding of concepts is all wrong. There is nothing to debate but ignorance and misunderstanding. You will probably never admit to your misunderstanding and like an alcoholic forever be in denial. Until you you are willing to put aside your indoctrination you will never understand biological processes but simply gasp in wonder. I feel sorry for you and all those like you. I'd pray for you but that be hypocrisy of the highest order. :)

  • @CountryGrandma1 Apart from that, I'm just not impressed with the threat. I fear things that actually exist because those things actually affect me. I don't fear hell or eternal damnation or whatever you think you have in store for me because, those things are imaginary. You do the same thing if you think about. You don't fear the non-existent troll under the bridge, do you? Then why should I fear the wrath of your non-existent god?

  • @coasterpro and it was not a threat. It was simply an observation. YOU think God is non-existent...I know He is real. Can YOU prove He does not exist? HOW? I can show you the evidence of Him all around you, but you cannot show me ONE thing to prove He does not! All YOU have is your own pride and arrogance , the refusal to accept the knowledge of a Higher Power. THAT is not proof that God doesn't exist. That is simply that YOU do not want Him to exist!

  • @CountryGrandma1 "and it was not a threat."

    Of course it's a threat. You're saying that if I don't conform to your concept of reality then I will suffer eternal agony. Certainly I would not want that, so I better conform. How is that not a threat?! It doesn't have anything to do with your god existing or not. That's completely beside the point. Threats like this have a good track record of working whether they're genuinely real or not; that's a psychological fact.

  • @CountryGrandma1 "YOU think God is non-existent...I know He is real"

    Supernatural claims are inherently unfalsifiable meaning that the existence of god(s) can never be proven true OR false. Therefore, though one may believe that god(s) are definitely real or not real, these beliefs are not based on knowledge, but rather, on faith. You're also misrepresenting my position. I do not assert that god(s) do not exist. I assert that there is no reason to believe that they do.

  • @CountryGrandma1 Ummm no we won't. But your god, if he existed, would probably not appreciate the curse word. Any why are you here when you should be trying to limit the rights of others?

  • Wonderfull...

  • 7:45 "how do these instruction sets not make these mistakes as they build what is us?..."

    Our instruction sets DO make mistakes. People are born with strange and terrible diseases and defects every day. Cells become cancerous, organs fail. The human body is far from perfect and we didn't get here through some instance of magic or divinity, but through slowly being whittled down from the vast scope of genetic possibilities to this, our most reproductively viable and environmentally dominant form.

  • What IS THE MUSIC FOR THIS!!!!!??????

  • Comment removed

  • this Athiest believes in magic @ 7:25! How come God doesn't receive credit for any of this?

  • Complexity that advanced mathematics and even computerized genius can't conceive . . . couldn't possibly be any intelligent Creator behind that, right?

  • well, it's not just us

    the same thing is true for those flies that destroy mammalian eyes

    they're magic too... amazing in complexity and all

  • What song is being played in the background?

  • como é fantastica a gestação, como é incrivel que as vezes, nossa fé ainda não é tão firme, mesmo sabendo que Deus, quem criou e "coordena" a vida consegue tanta perfeição neste espetáculo que a concepção de um ser humano na terra. Isso para nos atermos no que vemos.

  • so creepy to think we all looked like that before. holy shit,...did i just make a comment that has no controversy?

  • Whats the name of the song???

  • amazing.. ;)

    THOMAS E. WOODS, JR.

    It's in the library if your too cheap to purchase it.

  • @tailgator113 I think a better title would be how the Catholic Church stagnated Western Civilization for 2,000 years into the darkest age of the 50,000+ years of human civilization.

  • @Water4Jeremiah Might want to check your numbers. Your thinking is as murky as your math.

  • @dp8651 Christian math is a bit ... limited. I mean you guys always use decimal numbers like the 10 commandments. Ten is an important number. It's where our decimal system rolls over. Do you think if computers believed in a God they would come up with 2 commandments instead? Or perhaps 16 commandments?

    I would come up with 7 commandments. I would have then recurse: 1 + 2 + 4 . After 4 I can't see them as groups anymore so perhaps if I build a pyramid in a desert I can see them recurse better.

  • @Water4Jeremiah I'm sure Isaac Newton, Blaise Paschal and Robert Boyle would be interested in your conception of "Christian math." Sad, really, how bitter and peevish critics of Christianity become. And you still didn't deal with your original dating errors.

  • @dp8651 I am far more intelligent than Isaac Newton, Blaise Pascal, and Robert Boyle. Those men simply didn't have access to the information I have.

    And what errors did I make? I said two things: The world is 4.5 billion years old and that human civilization began 52,000 years ago. Problem?

  • @Water4Jeremiah

    Your ignorance precedes you.

  • @tailgator113 That's usually how it works :)

  • @water4Jerimiah

    But you forget that Western civilization came out of the Church. Do you research facts or just rewrite history?

    Development of the sciences, school's for the masses, hospitals etc etc.... Just because you deny the existence of God with the brain He gave you, doesn't mean He doesn't exist. Likewise with the influence of religion on the development of the sciences.

  • Its really interesting that abortionists think that's it ok to kill something that's doesn't look human. However, that same logic is not applied toward animals. Animals are not human, but to many people, animals are more precious than a human fetus.
