I was just going to skim this video and see what it was about. Ended up watching the whole thing, and plan on watching the rest of the series. Amazing stuff. Liked and Sub'd.
i completely understand this lecture and am hoping to watch the lecture this year but the scientist is clearly trying to inspire young people to get into science; and yes,hes talking sense and this is very interesting but it seems that sometimes i feel like falling asleep; now dont get me wrong,he is speaking great truth but (after watching the WHOLE lecture) i think he should have made it so that the audience didnt look so bored while he repeats the same points over and over :L
Wonderful! I hope all these lucky kids grew up understanding that all religions are nothing buy myths invented by ignorant humans who barely made it out of their caves. Richard Dawkins - you are a treasure.
Why is everyone going on about the little baby ? Its not really effecting the lecture,and it should be OBVIOUS to everybody the baby is in the lecture room for a purpose. After Dawkins gives the baby back to its mother,they both leave. Oh,and Dawkins never fails to deliver..a great lecture.
@brindow1 Yes it really is affecting the lecture. It should be OBVIOUS to you this is not the place for a baby. Dawkins uses the baby for about a minute then hands it back. What's the point when he could have just as easily shown a picture of a baby.
@cupomash2 Hey look,I would have preferred it without a real baby..I simply meant that after just a short while the baby was taken away so there wouldn't be any further interruptions. They say not to work on tv with children or animals[and especially babies !] .. but some STILL DO. This lecture was 20 yrs ago and it may be that Dawkins thought he could make his point BETTER with a a real baby. I'm not aware he's used a baby in his lectures at any other time - are you?
@brindow1 I don't think he has ever used a baby in any other of his lectures. The rule is never work with animals or kids on T.V then why not abide by this rule. The result is a whining baby for part of the lecture and the payoff is - he gets to hold it for less than a minute! We all know what a baby looks like. It's like Dawkins telling us he came by car to the lecture and then proceeds in bringing a car into the studio to show us what a car looks like where by a simple picture would suffice.
@880330145789 I cant believe he is already more then 70years old! He look like max for 50 years... :-O ...but its good and better for him and his image:)

RICHARD DAWKINS - "OUR COLLECTIVE FREE TIME NEEDS TO SHIFT AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE TO EDUCATION. WHETHER YOU'RE A YOUNG STUDENT OR FINISHED SCHOOL LONG AGO, GET OUT TO THE LIBRARY WHENEVER YOU CAN AND WORK HARD TO LEARN EVERYTHING YOU CAN ABOUT THIS WORLD. EACH INDIVIDUAL AND SOCIETY WILL BENEFIT FROM BEING ABLE TO SOLVE MORE PROBLEMS AND MAKE BETTER DECISIONS. EDUCATION IS AN AMAZING DISCOVERY PROCESS THAT REPAYS YOU ENDLESSLY."
pcgamer010 - what century have you've been spawned in? Girls and no potential??? How archaic thinking, I bet Hanna will object, too...if we have the pleasure to learn what she's doing now, 20 years since these Xmas lectures. I hope this lecture series has impressed her deeply.
I don't think the theory that primates ate the dino eggs sounds right. I mean, it wasn't only the egg layers that died off, it was the large sea living creatures as well.
I think it was a combination of the meteorite hitting and causing a tremendous change in the earth's atmosphere, which affected the equilibrium so the dinosaurs not only dealt with temperature changes but an increase in parasites etc. which affected food sources and it ALL contributed to the extinction-so it's was a combo.
it is amazing that twit mother managed to distract this lecture so many years since. And did she even hear a word spoken? I probably would have enjoyed listening to it - why did she not take a seat in the rear?
You Internet athiests never disappoint in being a joke. Dawkins is talking about embracing the life you have and understand how lucky you are and you decide to waste your time nitpicking over an innocuous baby. Get over yourself.
@thejobloshow Come on, man. Use your common sense. No matter what the reason might be for you to state "You Internet athiests never disappoint in being a joke", it's not enough to say it's because Atheists say the same for Christians. You can't expect that to be a logical reason for people to take that specific statement seriously. The same goes for any stereotype. The remainder of your initial response is valid, however.
Women, I have the utmost respect for anyone who births and raises a baby. However babies are not appropriate for certain situations, such as important one-time events which are not improved by the addition of your crotch-spawn shrieking their heads off. If you can't bear to part with your child for such events then the proper thing is to simply not attend. To willfully bring the child is equivalent to performing the disruption yourself, and makes you a massive cunt. That is all.
13:09 on the probability of being alive I think that one will automatically find themselves in the time they are alive & the time before they were alive seemingly never persisted from a personal perspective of the universe as that individual had 0 experiences hence no time seems to past so in some sense now is now because it is the time we are alive its hard to wrap your mind around, it gives the illusion of controlling time but that is because we experience time at personal levels not universal
Note to self, avoid been eating to increase probability of joining the elite. ha but seriously this video is fantastic, Richard has pointed out some great wonders of evolution in this video. Fantastic work as usual.
So to say that the earth is only 6000 or so years old is like saying that walking from there to moscow... is either only 4 steps ... or that only 4 steps mattered. Good lecture.
@BelieveandtrustJesus There are not hating there are simply not believe him has a concept of truth. How do you not know your good isn't the real evil and evil isn't the real good. You don't and will ignore what I just said in a blind ignorance.
@BelieveandtrustJesus thats me! im a god hating demon! and i sure do love evil!! and that fornication is just great! im off to the shops to buy some pringles and fornicate a bit..................
@BelieveandtrustJesus I'm an atheist. I've been a vegetarian for 30 yrs. I was secretary of the Anti Apartheid Society at Uni, active member of Third World First, Amnesty International and a great many conservation organizations. Most of the other people I met in these organizations were also atheists. Is practical hands-on campaigning/marching/fund raising/letter writting evil if performed by atheists. Should we have spent our time on our knees instead and left the real work to others?
@darrylsweetland According to Billy Ray Cyrus, it's pretty scary when atheists do things that are good for the earth, for animals, or for mankind in general. I mean, he was terrified when he saw a sign about atheists cleaning up a highway as he drove by. So, it wouldn't surprise me if others felt just as frightened at atheists doing good works. ;)
@believeandtrustJesus Well done for attacking gays. I'm bi, and I think you're doing us atheists a great service. Keep being a bigoted fool, we'll get thousands of de-converts from Christianity that way.
I can't believe how STUPID Christians are-and I WAS a Christian- but then an amazing thing happened to me... I grew up.
To put all your faith in a book written BY MEN because you're afraid your "loving God" will send you to hell for not loving him back (?) is so very sad. What a waste of your brains.
If God knows everything- why do you pray? Doesn't he already know your heart's desires?
Then you insult a learned man of science which is governed by truth- ACTUAL truth. You ARE the missing link!
@BelieveandtrustJesus Over a period of 10 years, those executed in Sing-Sing Prison for murder were 65% Catholics, 26% Protestants, 6% Hebrew, 2% Pagan, and less than 1/3 of 1% non-religious.
"Dead-to-the-spirit deluded "God Delusion" author & blithering fool scientist goon Richard Dawkins another "leader" given to the profane masses is another useful idiot for Jesuit machinations"-C.O.
Jesuitical: pertaining to the Jesuits or their principals; designing; cunning; deceitful; prevaricating
The Jesuits completely altered the education system to suit their evolution agenda to discredit the Bible. They cant have a Satanic society of 'Do as Thou Wilt' if people still follow the Bible.
Please visit my channel for the unpopular truth about homosexuality.
A person does not need hatred or any kind of phobia in order to acknowledge important differences between heterosexual attraction / behavior / marriage / adoption and homosexual attraction / behavior / marriage / adoption. Even non-religious people know this.
Homosexual activists, with support from the media, have succeeded at framing themselves as noble victims; it's an effective way to push a social agenda.
@BelieveandtrustJesus I hope you'll agree with me that in many people's eyes, Hitler was one of if not the most "evil" person in history, he was a catholic, and i guess evidence would be him creating Christian Rehabilitation camps; his repeated use of at least the term "the Creator" in his speeches and in his book and the fact he never renounced his faith after being baptised. Just putting it out there. Also Crusades, a horrible event caused by belief in God.
@jutheto Not only was Catholosicm responsible for helping Hitler to convince that the Jews had something wrong with them, but at the same time this was going on the Sino-Japanese war had been raging on for years. The Japanese were even worse then the Nazis, by FAR! They did not cause the death toll that the Nazi's were responsible for, but their war time atrocities are the most despicable in the history of the Human race - and all of it was as a result of religion.
If you have read the Bible, it is impossible to equate Roman Catholicism with Christianity. Jesus Christ, despised Organized Religion and idoltry in any way, shape or form. "Where two or more shall gather in My name I shall be there amongst them" - Jesus Christ
Two Primary Categories of people, make up all of humanity. Those who Sustain a fundamental commitment to the Truth (SANE) and those who Fail a fundamental commitment to the Truth (INSANE).
I feel this man is a truly modern mind after reading much from him and researching what he has put forward. Not until I started to watch many videos containing him did I realize what an odd individual this man is. His mind is brilliant though.
@surtur55 there are children there to learn, adults there to learn as well. but a baby has No place in a lecture of any sort unless it is being used as a demonstration. if you don't think it is distracting and or irritating. you re lying to you re self.
The word "homosexual" is more appropriate and accurate than the word "gay".
A person does not need religion, hatred or any kind of phobia in order to acknowledge important, qualitative differences between heterosexual attraction / behavior / marriage / adoption and homosexual attraction / behavior / marriage / adoption.
Homosexual activists, with support from the media, have succeeded at framing themselves as noble victims and martyrs; it's an effective way to push a social agenda.
1) Lunchtime discussion on Oxford on the 'Oxford Debate'
2) "Is God a Delusion?" lecture with panel response (unless Dawkins shows up to debate!)
Run, Dawkins, run!! Keep running from Dr. Craig, from debate, from truth. That's the best thing you can do to keep your followers!!!!!!!!
In case you followers don't know, he's been avoiding Dr. Craig, for he... is afraid to death of debating him!!! LOL... Even an atheist publicly accused him of cowardice!!!

Watching this I was struck by a parallel with a church - the feeling of community and of a continuous institution, readings and speakers. Imagine if every week around the world, for just an hour or two the minds of entire communities were being so enriched instead of filled with violence and stone age nonesense, yet were also afforded the 'warm glow' of community engagement that religious gatherings give.
We all have to live and die, so the truth about life and death concerns and applies to us all. True or false? Search "TRUTH CONTEST" in Google and click the 1st result, then open The Present and read what it says to learn the Truth. Let's get serious and honest about the truth of life.
Nevermind aliens looking down on us for our superstitions, think about future generations !

I don't think the theory that primates ate the dino eggs sounds right. I mean, it wasn't only the egg layers that died off, it was the large sea living creatures as well.
I think it was a combination of the meteorite hitting and causing a tremendous change in the earth's atmosphere, which affected the equilibrium so the dinosaurs not only dealt with temperature changes but an increase in parasites etc. which affected food sources and it ALL contributed to the extinction-so it's was a combo.

Atheists believe that objects made them what they are.
Evolution is an absolute disgrace to science.
Objects never order anything, mutations never order anything and natural selection will only select what has already been ordered.
Evolution is so irrational that it should be removed from all classrooms.

@thejobloshow Come on, man. Use your common sense. No matter what the reason might be for you to state "You Internet athiests never disappoint in being a joke", it's not enough to say it's because Atheists say the same for Christians. You can't expect that to be a logical reason for people to take that specific statement seriously. The same goes for any stereotype. The remainder of your initial response is valid, however.

Women, I have the utmost respect for anyone who births and raises a baby. However babies are not appropriate for certain situations, such as important one-time events which are not improved by the addition of your crotch-spawn shrieking their heads off. If you can't bear to part with your child for such events then the proper thing is to simply not attend. To willfully bring the child is equivalent to performing the disruption yourself, and makes you a massive cunt. That is all.

13:09 on the probability of being alive I think that one will automatically find themselves in the time they are alive & the time before they were alive seemingly never persisted from a personal perspective of the universe as that individual had 0 experiences hence no time seems to past so in some sense now is now because it is the time we are alive its hard to wrap your mind around, it gives the illusion of controlling time but that is because we experience time at personal levels not universal

Most of the other people I met in these organizations were also atheists. Is practical hands-on campaigning/marching/fund raising/letter writting evil if performed by atheists. Should we have spent our time on our knees instead and left the real work to others?

@darrylsweetland According to Billy Ray Cyrus, it's pretty scary when atheists do things that are good for the earth, for animals, or for mankind in general. I mean, he was terrified when he saw a sign about atheists cleaning up a highway as he drove by. So, it wouldn't surprise me if others felt just as frightened at atheists doing good works. ;)

I can't believe how STUPID Christians are-and I WAS a Christian- but then an amazing thing happened to me... I grew up.
To put all your faith in a book written BY MEN because you're afraid your "loving God" will send you to hell for not loving him back (?) is so very sad. What a waste of your brains.
If God knows everything- why do you pray? Doesn't he already know your heart's desires?
Then you insult a learned man of science which is governed by truth- ACTUAL truth. You ARE the missing link!

The Jesuits completely altered the education system to suit their evolution agenda to discredit the Bible. They cant have a Satanic society of 'Do as Thou Wilt' if people still follow the Bible.

Please visit my channel for the unpopular truth about homosexuality.
A person does not need hatred or any kind of phobia in order to acknowledge important differences between heterosexual attraction / behavior / marriage / adoption and homosexual attraction / behavior / marriage / adoption. Even non-religious people know this.
Homosexual activists, with support from the media, have succeeded at framing themselves as noble victims; it's an effective way to push a social agenda.

@BelieveandtrustJesus I hope you'll agree with me that in many people's eyes, Hitler was one of if not the most "evil" person in history, he was a catholic, and i guess evidence would be him creating Christian Rehabilitation camps; his repeated use of at least the term "the Creator" in his speeches and in his book and the fact he never renounced his faith after being baptised. Just putting it out there. Also Crusades, a horrible event caused by belief in God.

They did not cause the death toll that the Nazi's were responsible for, but their war time atrocities are the most despicable in the history of the Human race - and all of it was as a result of religion.

If you have read the Bible, it is impossible to equate Roman Catholicism with Christianity. Jesus Christ, despised Organized Religion and idoltry in any way, shape or form. "Where two or more shall gather in My name I shall be there amongst them" - Jesus Christ
Two Primary Categories of people, make up all of humanity. Those who Sustain a fundamental commitment to the Truth (SANE) and those who Fail a fundamental commitment to the Truth (INSANE).

The word "homosexual" is more appropriate and accurate than the word "gay".
A person does not need religion, hatred or any kind of phobia in order to acknowledge important, qualitative differences between heterosexual attraction / behavior / marriage / adoption and homosexual attraction / behavior / marriage / adoption.
Homosexual activists, with support from the media, have succeeded at framing themselves as noble victims and martyrs; it's an effective way to push a social agenda.

Watching this I was struck by a parallel with a church - the feeling of community and of a continuous institution, readings and speakers. Imagine if every week around the world, for just an hour or two the minds of entire communities were being so enriched instead of filled with violence and stone age nonesense, yet were also afforded the 'warm glow' of community engagement that religious gatherings give.
