Great lecture. Thanks for sharing.

Look how his religiosity is. We see a man believing that his faith is so more coherent than the one of the other he feels down in the right of being arrogant and ironic. Do you see the consequence of the ("pseudo") atheism? The people become uncommunicative, arrogant and, to the I contradict than it is waited of a rational person, HE IS ALWAYS RIGHT. After all, God doesn't exist. He then, continues to have faith: "in the beginning it was it anything, the nothing exploded, and here we are us."

[DrMontague]

Atheists point to the overwhelming evidence for evolutionary theory. If you do not know what this evidence is by now then you are pig headed ignorant. Atheists argue that there is no reliable evidence for a creator god. If you simply argue faith then this means there can be as many faiths and gods as there are people on earth. As regards the creation of the universe atheists simply argue they don't yet know. The difference between the theists and atheists is that theists claim they do know!

[DrMontague]

Further if god is omniscient then he must have known before he created the universe that I was sit at my laptop and type this comment. Therefore I cannot have free will., neither can you or any theists. Therefore child murders, rapists, etc cannot be held accountable or responsible for their crimes as it is god's will. He is the real culprit.

[Dhannyewllmetal]

That is everything that it is known about the evolution!It is a bad theory because it cannot make good pré-suppositions nor one can have good conclusions through it. What is wrong of the one what I spoke? (scientifically, please, don't give your philosophical opinion)

[blazereef]

@Dhannyewllmetal "presuppositions" if you mean predictions, then look up tiktaalik

[Dhannyewllmetal]

There are no evidences for the evolutionism! EVOLUTION is the unknown alive beings' formation starting from unknown chemical products in an atmosphere or composition ocean unknown under unknown conditions whose organisms went up a unknown scale evolutionist by an unknown process leaving an unknown evidence.

[DrMontague]

You're a fuckin fruit cake.

[sidexwalk]

You're so wrong, it's dizzying. Evolutionary theory explains the diversity of life, not it's origins. It would appear that you are confusing "Evolution" (biology) with "Abiogenesis" (chemistry). As for the scale and processes of evolution, those have been directly observed and recorded. DO MORE RESEARCH!

[rafaelhsouza]

The singularity which big banged was not "nothing". It was everything! Matter, energy, space, and time.

The ones who say everything was created from nothing, by magic, are the theists.

[Schizopantheist]

@rafaelhsouza Although strictly speaking it appears that the net energy of the universe may be zero (because of particles with negative energy i believe), therefore it's 'nothing' (in this sense) that sprang from nothing. Before the big bang time and space don't really have meaning, so you could say that eternity ended at the big bang, or that time began with it.

[ThePipersNicks]

That was awesome

Somewhat informative, I just used my bible supplement the missing pieces to this lecture and I think I have the entire picture now.

God made bees so that giant mechanical elephants could replicate themselves... indeed.

[cyberJamilonc]

I feel sorry for u, if it was a joke OK then, but if not, then oh my what a limited person u are.

[BlackApollo666]

It was a joke (not a very good one mind you); for a bunch of godless heathens we sure are a stuffy bunch!

[cyberJamilonc]

I guess. Its getting ridiculous to what level and extent they want religion to go: in school, and institutions that religion never touched before, its a kind of need for more power, religious power. Anyway, I'm playing "World Of Goo". I know for my age I should be the last to do this, but anyway, I enjoy it too sometimes. Try the game, its fun, just 60Mb.

Thank you.

[CurtHowland]

I hope you all took notes, there will be a test on Tuesday.

[robtul12]

Thank you very much indeed for this tremendous lecture.

[nethius]

Thanks for this! Old, but still great!

[PianoWallaby]

Thanks again.

[jjuran]

The conclusion, that living things exist for the purpose of creating more copies of their genes, is also addressed in Dawkins' book The Selfish Gene.

[arabonormanno]

Yes, that's a very amazing book, indeed!!!

[ukidding]

science has no proof for gods or goblins

[kankerklootzak]
