'Why Evolution Is True' Jerry Coyne, Richard Dawkins, AAI 2009

[stevenhorr]

This is a great video for someone who wants to learn more but lacks the attentions span to read science books! I think I'll try to read his book again.

[robbegx]

I just wanted to say I'm SO grateful that this video is online. Think about it, this amazing information is available for us, for free. It's such a shame the religious miss out on the beauty of the theory of evolution and how it makes one appreciate the miracle of life so much more, as a history of billions of years that built up to the point where we are now, rather than a test, aspiring for the reward in the hereafter - the reward they can't be sure to get. This is the reward, wake up!

i m muslim and I agree Jerry Coyne is speaking according to Quran

[robbegx]

@PROUDASAMUSLIM The Quran may contain vague references to science, but the verses show nothing more than 7th century knowledge. Obviously, one could easily retro-fit an interpretation to those verses, but that's a delusion on your part. The thing is that today's science can be easily retro-fitted in any book. The Quran is not unique on this matter. Fact remains that the Quran is simply a century book, I see no reason to regard it otherwise. (Yes, I know the scientific 'miracles')

You can help by spreading it around. :)

"unless God made it ALL,all these millions of species, in 7 days"... is that... sarcasm? I would love to believe that it is, but the rest of your comment seems to be supporting this claim! And you're calling those who support evolution blind morons!??! "unless God made it ALL,all these millions of species, in 7 days" come on, read it with me a few more times.. it sounds more ridiculous each time you read it... wait, gotta stop reading it, it feels like my head is going to explode!

@willmu1996 I agree w/ you willmu. No need to provide any evidence in creation beyond what your imagination can conjure. Take me for example, I have irrefutable PROOF that Darwin himself made everything up- "What proof?" you ask- I had a dream (AKA, a "vision") last night, in which God himself appeared to me (as a Cheshire cat who had wings for legs and spoke in a southern-accent...but he said he was God, and I believe him). Anyways, he told me that Darwin was high when he created evolution!

@dog1dog2 please dont confuse the idiots, they will overheat. :P

[gr4ndhustle]

just because you think god exists.. doesn't mean he actually exists.

the universe is not enough proof for gods existence.. i'm sorry.

[Aryadei]

@bdw5000

Of course. willmu1996 says we need evidence. Of course.

So he says he needs evidence to believe us, alright. WATCH THE VID

If our argument requires evidence then why shouldn't his faith require an equal amount proof?

And to this: "MAGIC MAN DID IT!" XD

@willmu1996

Shut your eyes.

Close your ears.

Turn of your mind.

-And let god handle it.- And while god is doing that we get to laugh at you, and you can't hear us, you can't see us, and you bitch in run-on sentences on youtube.. :P

[Aryadei]

I love this, I love the person who posted this. And I also love the example of creationist thinking willmu1996 has provided for us.

Let's take a look at what's going on here. "10:12"- he says "you cannot do that". With the exception of: "wait for it morons that believe this crap".

Wait? That was why you can't do that?

I'm 14 years old, and I do not shut my eyes to reason. I know how to make an argument, and I have good... if not pristine, grammar. :D

Also- insults don't replace logic.

[davelantor]

@willmu1996 i like how you say

"evidence that supports evolution is fake" and then turn around and say "if it isn't, then it points towards creation". If you cant notice how idiot this statement is, i feel sorry for you.

Guess what, regardless of how much you claim something is supporting your idea that a magic sky daddy is responsible, unless you can prove it, it doesnt mean anything.

Evolution is a proven scientific theory, like gravitational theory, germ theory.

Remove your religion goggles.

[willmu1996]

@davelantor i'm saying if evidence of anything here is real, then it doesn't support evolution. and i CAN prove creation, actually its already been proven, why are people born, why dont we just keep evolving, why do we die? look around you moron, none of this happened by slowly evolving, if you believe that life is an accident you are the one who's blind. Evolution is proven bull crap. remove YOUR dumbass goggles

[davelantor]

@willmu1996 PLEASE PROVE CREATIONISM. write a paper about it, publish it for peer review (in short use SCIENCE), seriously i can understand that you been brought up thinking there is a this magic sky daddy that created everything out of nothing and it self didnt need creating (LOL) . BUT i cant grasp how you can claim its been proven, then fail to provide any sources, and then also go on to argue that contrary evidence is also counts in favor for your idiotic religion.

[davelantor]

@willmu1996 "why are people born", LOL, you see, mommy and daddy got together and decided they wanted a baby. lol.

"why dont we just keep evolving", we are evolving you idiot, ow right, forgot you have no idea what evolution is, so you might as well be one of those idiots that think evolution is like dog giving birth to a cat, lol, silly creationists, at least try to understand what you are trying to refute. Open a biology book or check "evolution" on Wikipedia. Learn what "DNA", "MUTATIONS" are

[willmu1996]

@davelantor wow, obviously you people are mentally retarded and lack the brain capacity to understand that you"re being lied to. open a bible. I'm done, you are too stupid to continue arguing with

[davelantor]

@willmu1996 When one understands the process and how evolution function, its obvious that its no fairy tale. When you witness it in everyday life. When you see it is used to find new cures for new strains of bacteria and viruses. Its no lie when you have mountain of scientific data backing you up, when you have models making accurate predictions.

You say open a bible, i say read the damn thing idiot. Its no good source for knowledge or morality. Only idiots looking for comfort like whats in it.

[tanoooj]

@davelantor hahahaha spot on!

[winterstellar]

@willmu1996 You are obviously totally ignorant of evolution, so you should wiki evolution. And maybe have a look at the chapter *fact of evolution*.,. Evolution is both provable, testable, observable and it's being used in practice in for instance medical science and industry..so you are like a century late if you believe there's any debate in science on evolution being true: )

[LsBaba]

The bit about the evolution of the horse's hoof and the finger to creationists... nice one :)

I wonder if an ID supporter would be able to endure this talk in its entirety.

[deadman12078]

That was fun :)

[SusanRenee49]

Very informative. Putting this on my favorites list.

[davelantor]

*Finger ... Thats for creationists .. lol

[MrJohnnyrace]

This is nice. No stupid comments from the creatards yet.
