Darwin's Legacy | Lecture 8

[OneWorldHistory]

Acmd7 copy/pastes his little spiel all over the place, and most assuredly would not have the patience, the open-mindedness nor the cognitive agility to sit through 20 hours of Darwinian discussion. Although the urge to respond is high within me also, it's best to merely relegate his 'copy/paste' to it's appropriate position... i.e. irrelevant.

4. In Bible, we find two (2) candidates to be called GOD, but atheists are arguing just

with ONE,not with other pretendent.

5. Mostly atheist, are against God's morality and justice

but never refer the same to other candidate: satan.

6. Bible maintans evolution after creation, earth have billions of years etc.

Atheism is a dead concept.

@Acmd7 You're clearly an ignorant person...

"The bible says the bible is true; so it's true!"

"Everybody will have what they ask" Seriously? How many amputees have grown their limbs back?

I continue to be amazed by ignorant people with superstition.

[Rexhungus]

@Frosttty I often think about how people who prove the bible is true refer to the book itself, like you quoted the bible is true because it says its true. Its like holding up Green Eggs and Ham and say there are green eggs and ham because this book says there is.

[Acmd7]

God exist! evidences:

1. In Bible we find a lot of prophecies which happened and are happening.

2. If anybody will follow what God asks (ex: praying), everybody will have whatever they (ask)

want (somebody can call it miracles).

3. Blasphemies: if anybody will do it, is puniched very soon and anybody is free to try it,

even right now!

When you were copy pasting this to every video in this series - did you take the time to watch the videos? I'm still split on weather your an athiest trying to make religion seem absurd - religion certainly fails tests 2 and 3, certainly.

The bible is extremilly vague on creation, an integral concept - the few details it gives (plants before the sun for instance) are as obviously false as deamons causing disease or the sun stopping in the sky.

Again, who's the other god you refer to?

@Acmd7

its weird you choose to talk about god... on a video referring to controversial health / cancer science. It blinds you to really interesting stuff :I

@unassumption By the by, it's been fun reading yours (and others) commentary through this series. With 4000+ views in a bit less than 2 years, it is comforting to know that the majority of people watching this series in entirety are those that are finding it illuminating and/or an enjoyable exercise in observing scientists/teachers doing their thing. Most of the comments add to the topic at hand.

Thanks everyone, and especially Stanford, iTunes and YouTube (and evolution) for the opportunity.

Cancer (accumulation of mutations in cell cycle genes) is common in animals and the only reason is so common in humans is because humans are living far beyond our programmed lifespan and people carrying dangerous mutations nowadays can survive and reproduce. Microbes rarely cause cancer and I am willing to bet that eliminating microbes wont reduce the incidence of cancer.

That was a clever hypothesis posited by Gary Schoolnik as to how human papillomavirus (HPV) may spread from the cervix to the breasts(mammary). That is if he was not joking. ★★★★★
