  • Hey Dick, Question! Does ASSASSINATION play a valid part in "Natural Selection"?

  • richard dawkins is a anal dwelling monkey,,,like his ancestors

  • LOL! poor darwin XD he caught his own horse haha!!

  • @1billion 1 deaths. What the fuck does atheism have to do with spiders ?

  • THIS COUNTRY WASENT BASED ON ATHEISM..LOOK WAT ATHEISM HAS TURNED US INTO.

  • @1billion1deaths1 Rationally thinking human beings? Not barbaric killers? People that have doubled our lifespan?

  • @LOGIC42369 more like ass fucking,aids dwelling ,fat ass drug users,,everyobody hates everybody..just like i hate u!,,heres a little logic for u..if i kill u and your familiy and burn your ashes how long would it take for your ass smell to disapeer??? smart guy figure that out

  • @1billion1deaths1 Well, considering theres no statistic showing that religious people are less likely to have aids, be gay or use drugs, I just did. Heres a little something for ya though, the vast majority of those in jail are religious. The vast majority of those in war are religous. I don't hate you, because i'm human and i like to figure things out. If you burned me and my family you'd just be another religious guy in jail, and our smell would dissapear whenever the rain washes us away.

  • @LOGIC42369 also, i guess its easy to see 'god' isn't keeping you in line from burning people and hating people, so you just threw any argument for god keeping morality here out the window. peace

  • @LOGIC42369 satistic will always just be satistics..everybodys religous..wtf are u ignoranus??? offcourse u are..u got a computer..use it, religoun is just a belief thats all..everybody has a belief...like u have your beliefs to believe not to believe..thers people that believe..u dont get it because 1 . your ignorant 2. your in imbecile 3. idolotry 4.no self control over emotions 5.homosexual 6. all of thee above.. if u awnser all of thee above u a correct my homosapien friend.

  • @1billion1deaths1 As usual, a believer not believing statistics because facts mean jack shit to you... im not ignorant thats why im an athiest... smarter than you... not gay... unlike you i think i've remained cool headed in this 'comment battle with a troll' so i control my emotions... and you gave me six questions, not 3...

    wow you're dumb, probly still believe in santa clause.

  • @LOGIC42369 as usual...i think that u are a queer...your just mad because the bible and most religouns are agains people like u..the truth stinks..and thers a stench coming out of your pants.you control your emotions so well your here arguing about your beliefLOL ridiculous...your a funny little man,you believe not to believe good for u...now leave the rest of us believers of the creator be...go start a church and preach your athiesim like a regular human being

  • @1billion1deaths1 whatever, brick for brains, im not a queer. you're just dumb for trying to believe in something that obviously doesn't exist on so many levels.. i used to be a christian then i grew up just like with the tooth fairy. what are u watching richard dawkins videos for anyway shouldn't u be watching something about supposed virgins having babies that raised from the dead or something

  • @LOGIC42369 UNTIL U CAN PROVE THAT THER IS NO GOD..THEN COME TALK TO ME...but u cant even understan quantum phisics...so anything u say will always be irrelevant to me and too billions of people..so stop trying,quit while your ahead..your just making yourself look like a complete A-hole ,,which is rather amusing i might ad.

  • @1billion1deaths1 Proof is the burden of the believer, so you'd have to prove him to me. But just a few examples... the earth wasn't 'created' six thousand years ago for two humans to come out of nowhere, eat an apple and therefore send everyone to hell to pay for god's mistake. It formed about 6 billion years ago and humans were in the making about 200000 years ago. we lived in the dark until science came and saved us from thinking we were sworn to damnation. asshole

  • @LOGIC42369 i dont have to prove to u squat, its one inner self,thats the diffrence in most religouns, in your religoun u just believe in wat u see , in most religouns people believe in wat they cannot see because , but feel in a mental/spiritual/unlogical state of view which of you dont understand, because u are matter over mind

  • @1billion1deaths1 PROVE TO ME THAT BIG FOOT DOESN'T EXIST. You can't? Therefore he exists. Done.

  • @Nemesis000000 well he really does excist, thers alot more people ive met that believe in bigfoot then their is that believe in evolution, and billions and billions of years ago theorys.

  • @1billion1deaths1 Ok that backfired then. Ironically if Big Foot did exist it would prove evolution even more than it is already. Anyway...

    Prove to me that Lord Vishnu doesn't exist. You can't? Therefore he exists. Prove to me Zeus doesn't exist. You can't? Therefore he exists. Prove to me leprechauns don't exist. You can't? Therefore they exists. Prove to me there is not a teapot in orbit around Neptune. You can't? Therefore it exists. I could go on.

  • @Nemesis000000 mr nemesis come on we live in the same world, u and me know they dont excist and so does everyone else,on the contreier mr nemesis you know the truth as does everyone else, history shows us our true foundation,foundation that holds our present,and thats the reaction to our action were living in now.

  • @1billion1deaths1 Everyone knows Lord Vishnu doesn't exist? Tell that to 1 billion Hindus. Everyone knows Zeus doesn't exist? Maybe now, but there was a time when nearly everyone believed it (or Jupiter, the Roman version). To this day there are people who believe in leprechauns and fairies. People believing in something does not make it true.

    I know God doesn't exist just like Vishnu, Zeus, fairies and Big Foot. You don't seem to know that but it doesn't change reality.

  • @Nemesis000000 this is not just something, its 66 books written in 2000 years by men from all walks of life, from kings to slaves., each book very similiuar and overlaps or refer to each other, now wat are the chances in that happening? About one trillion to one. Try to get 5 guys to agree on anything today. You cant!And thats not even a percentage of why christianity is still alive today, according to christianity, our planet is the focal point of the universe. All eyes are upon it.

  • @1billion1deaths1 Thats amusing since the bible contradicts itself constantly. FYI, the Quran is much more consistent than the Bible and has the exact same claims about its veracity... what are the chances of that happening? "about one trillion to one" perhaps? maybe you should become a muslim.

  • @Nemesis000000 hahah yea right, your accually comparing both books, obvouisly u havent read neither of them, and if u did u probabolly skimed threw most of it ignorantly, touche' touche' thers a reason why everything should be like it is, just like the reason for your incapacity towards the understanding of your own present.

  • @1billion1deaths1 The Quran is more consistent because they rewrote everything to get rid of the contradictions. It's also even more violent and evil than the Bible so I'm not defending it, I'm just wondering if consistency is your criteria why aren't you a muslim?

  • @Nemesis000000 LOL i think u need to go re-read both books, and this time be more patient and less ignorant, just because your doing wat ever it is that u do , doesnt mean u need to bash on the ten commandments, 10 easy rules, yet u know u will never fallow them, how does that feel? knowing u really couldnt do everything?

  • @1billion1deaths1 I didn't say anything about the 10 commandments but now that you mention it

    The 10 commandments are a joke. Nothing about rape, child abuse, genocide, or racism, but you can't be jealous of your neighbors stuff or work on saturday, say bad words or build statues. Yeah, good morals right there. As for no killing and stealing, every society has believed that from day 1. You are damn right I don't follow the 10 commandments, I follow what's right. Watch this: /watch?v=o4s1nVm3mO8

  • @Nemesis000000 hey its your life, these are your choices, everyone will be accountable for ther decisions, religously & scientificly, everything has begining and end, thers reactions to every action,and nothing is certain so good luck.

  • @1billion1deaths1

    Why did you decide that an education wasn't something you need?

  • @odinata well because if was as eductated as you, i would still be in this conversation with you, but im insperated ther for i must go, arent u atheist? shouldnt u be somewhere else besides the computer, because isnt this it for you? you should be out ther discovering , thers still places & things that need to be discoverd

  • @1billion1deaths1

    "but im insperated ther for i must go,"

    Do you sniff a lot of glue, paint, or gasoline?

  • @odinata nope just good ol oxygen, but u take care now.

    youll find somebody else to amuse, after all thers billions of people out ther.

  • @1billion1deaths1

    You had oxygen cut off at birth?

    Is that how you lost function?

  • @odinata u should be an atheist stand up comic, because jokes is all you will ever confess..

    haw..haw..haww.. veni vedi vici' good bye

  • @1billion1deaths1

    You shouldn't be straining yourself.

    Words don't seem to be easy for you......

  • @1billion1deaths1

    Fetal Alcohol Syndrome? Crack baby?

  • look for the cute lyrebird presented by David Attenborough watch?v=VjE0Kdfos4Y unless you don't already know, you won't believe this!

  • Phoelexi: No, I have a lot of nerve pain, and numbness in my hands and arms, so my comments got sent before I was finished. Thanks for your other messages to me!! :( I will not stoop to your level, I don't need to hatefully insult you, instead- I wanted simply to stand up for what Deceitful thing He is ALWAYS saying. GO LOOK SOME OF IT UP! IF you really want go cross-reference opposing scientific evidences for evolution, the Internet is full of thousands of articles, and videos from scienti

  • @TheWayandWordofLife i found your reply to me by accident you need to actually post to my name for me to receive it. stoop to my level !! listen anyone who preaches from a book that promotes acts of evil deserve far more than an insult. your fanatical mind virus IS an insult to humanity....

  • maxergud: I've just recently started posting on you tube, and did not realize most of my comment does not appear. So, you really can't get my over

  • @TheWayandWordofLife cant get my over ?????? errrr stoned are we ??????????? its ok !!!

  • ANOTHER ONE OF YOUR DECIEPTIONS! Creationists DO BELIEVE in design, and ADAPTATION - what you just said is evolution. There are MANY thousands of spiders, and they are all unique, but are still the same species- and Yes GOD did leave room for ADAPTATION WITHIN EVERY SPECIES, but it is called adaptation- OR MICRO evolution. MACROevolution = EVOLUTION FROM NOTHING, to the big bang, to the first ( EXTREMELY COMPLEX CELLS- THAT CANNOT EVOLVE INTO ANYTHING ELSE), to bacterias, to tiny wee-beasti

  • @TheWayandWordofLife You obliously don't know what you are talking about. Macro evolution is just a lot of micro evolution. not "Something appearing out of nowhere."

  • @maxergud listen mate theres no point in trying to make whats his name "thewankerwordoflie"understand such things he has a stagnant diseased mind virus unfortunately they creep in everywhere with there ignorance trying to infect people with logic and real understanding who want to learn scientific facts..

  • fantastic stuff from richard old news i know but the man gets that brain in to action also refreshing to see no comments from any god squad morons great stuff.

  • @phoelexi just had to say........ the very next comment after yours was indeed from (what appears to be) a god squaddie...

    made me chuckle :)

  • @frackcha they are like waking up in the morning to find a zit on your nose :~{

  • @phoelexi hehe... or perhaps.. like waking up to find your nose...... is a zit.. ;)

  • @frackcha lol or maybe waking up to find you are a zit with a nose.... oh sorry this is getting silly now :~0

  • @phoelexi LOL.... no apology required... i would carry it on, but i cant think of anything good..  :)

  • @frackcha well whatever you find just dont wake up & find jesus in your life if that happens you have contracted a mind virus :~0

  • @phoelexi agreed, and a real nasty one at that...

  • I'm terrified of spiders... Yet I watched the whole thing just because RD made them so interesting.

    Now I think I might have a few spider nightmares tonight...

  • WOW! Fantastic!

  • The problem with Intelligent Design is it makes god look like a cowboy and a douche.

  • I was reading ''climbing mount improbable' last year, which is mostly about evolution. The book uses the metaphor of a mountain with being at the top equalling improbability or a complex organism. He shows that to go from the bottom to the top of the mountain in 1 big jump would be impossible but evolution occurs graddulary, step by step, moving up the mountain. Part of the book though spends a whole chapter on the spiders & their webs which was totally fascinating.

  • Wow! spiders are way more intelligent than i am when it comes to obtaining dinner. There is no way in hell i could build somthing like this just based on instincts. I dont even know how to get food like a human. Riight now im being hand fed by a supermarket.

  • @CantWeedThis Sadly many humans have no idea how to get food out in the wild anymore.

    And i have seen some disturbing things, Chimps have now started to actually use sharpened stones in order to cut food in order to make it easier to eat, and they havent yet be seen accidentaly cuting themselves yet, thus they have better craftmanship skills than quite alot of humans :O

  • I can't believe Dawkins would try to use the Bolas spider as an argument against Intelligent design. In his explanation he even corners himself when he speaks about design and purpose.

  • @yptim I cannot believe that you believe in Intelligent Design, I thought that philosophy died out in the 19th Century. Evolution is a scientific fact of which no one can dispute, because it has evidence to back it up.

    Intelligent Design has no evidence, it is religious nonsense.

  • @roac7777 I agree with you about religionbeing nonsense, but philosophy is an essential social science which helps to disprove religion amongst other things.

    Not being argumentative like these religious fuck-wits, someone who might change your opinion on philosphy is Richard Dawkins' friend A C Grayling, hope this helps friend.

  • @mrcwalk You are preaching to the choir, to coin a phrase. I admire Richard Dawkins works very much.

  • @roac7777 have you taken offence to what I said?

  • @mrcwalk No. quite the opposite. Have you never heard of the saying "preaching to the choir". It means to agree wholeheartedly.

  • @roac7777 I apologise as there seems to have been some crossing of wires between us. My perception of that idiom was that of "a preacher trying to convert those who already believe", that was why I asked if you'd taken offence to what I said.

    Because I was merely mentioning that philosophy was good practice (if you look at it from David Hume point of view that everything needs questioning), as I'd percieved your statement as to mean you hoped philosophy was gone and glad of it.

    My mistake

  • @mrcwalk You're right about philosophy, however, most philosophers came to the conclusion that either an all powerful eternal entity exists or at least we need him to exist to make sense of everything.

  • @yptim sorry, but respectful modern day philosophers like a c grayling and sam harris have come to quite the opposite conclusion, they profess that science provides a perfect, unbiased platform for understanding the universe, and that belief in god was our first attempts at science, e.g. what we now know as wind, we once thought was a god puffing up his cheeks and blowing, or that thunder was in fact the gods walking on the clouds.

  • @yptim All the philosophy professors I have ever had have been atheists (as far as I can tell, they don't advertise their beliefs), and two of the most famous today are AC Grayling and Daniel Dennet, both staunch atheists (Sam Harris would be a third, even though he does not have a PhD in philosophy)

  • @roac7777 really? a)philosophy is the love of wisdom - that shouldn't die! b)Evolution is a scientific theory, not a fact. It would have to be reproducible to be considered a "law" or fact. c) Intelligent design has incredible evidence ie design by very nature has innate intelligence. A dandelion seed with its parachute design shows intelligence. It certainly does not show stupidity. d) Intelligent design does not have to be "religious". You've swallowed the Bill Mayer koolaid

  • @yptim muppet, evolution is a fact and is backed up backed modern day DNA analysis, just because its called "the theory of evolution" doesn't mean it's not a fact, what about germ theory? is that not a fact? if not, how do we have modern medicine?

    You believers really piss me off with your ungratefulness of the success science has achieved, just because their are gaps in our understanding, doesn't mean you can fill them in with your ridiculous stories, you'll always come unstuck and look stupid

  • @yptim you are a douche

  • Brainfood :)

  • I bet the Bolas Spider is thinking every time it swings and misses "There has got to be an easier way than this to catch flies, I keep hearing about this Web thingy, I really must get a computer"..lol.

  • I'm a Gaucho :D

  • hahahahahaha. Richard Dawkins makes me laugh, but he's got a point.

  • geez i'd fuck him

  • When he said bola spider and showed the gauchos riding, i imagined a huge spider running across the field throwing silk bolas at horses.

  • Wow this is my favorite Dawkins program/speech/moment I have ever heard. This was beautiful, everyone should watch this.

  • May I add, mankind invented the concept of PURPOSE as well.

  • good comment,

    i had someone ask me as an athiest

    "what do i measure my morality against if theres no celestial being to judge me"

    its as you say, mankind created the concept of questioning and morality. Thats why theres millions of debates on youtube etc... lol.

  • Why? 

    To survive.

    Any Questions?

  • I find that Bolas Spider Hilarious!

    C'mere you little bugger! Ya! Ya! Ya! Aw! C'mon!  Get back over here you little! *Wack!* Ya, gotcha! Yeehaw!

  • I question one point, and that is this: The Darwinian natural selection theory explains How we are here, and not why. Why is more of a metaphysical question with little or no answer. Anyone care to respond?

  • "why" is a question with no relevance, if you think life has no meaning if it was not made by intention, i do hope you find your own meaning before you hurt yourself (or others and then suffer the reaction from them)

  • that is a big IF. I think god is a weak argument to explain the unknown. The question 'why are we here' in my understanding does not equal how we are here. The notion of god (again in my opinion), is a weak, simplistic answer to many of human kinds greatest questions. Should we stop hunting for the reason because some people thousands of years ago decided there must be a divine designer?

  • it appears that you assume religion only causes harm to both the believers and others, this would be an entirely subjective notion. One may argue you have caused yourself (and others) harm through not believing.

  • I'd say good things are done by both religious and non religious alike, but the atrocities in the name of Gods have never been committed in the name of atheism. An atheist doing bad things does them in no relation to beliefs, just like a religious could do them the same way, but in religion is involved, the outcome is equal or far worse, so my choice is a simple one

  • you mean no relation on his/her beliefs on god or not but what he is after

  • fullywoolly The rsn why we are here is 2 swap genes and survive, at this point we no longer need to survive we can now live. We created music, poetry, we r thinking more creatively, we r caring for the weak, we have established government, we r allowed to think freely without persecution or fear. Why is not metaphysical. Why is the reason we have declared dominance over all species, because of our questioning nature we have come to understand a lot of things.

  • @questionsamson Someone needs to remind the animals that EAT people that "we have dominance over all species".

  • @slippy441 I don't understnd your statement.

    I stated:"Why is the reason we have declared dominance over all species, because of our questioning nature we have come to understand a lot of things."

    How do animals that eat people have to do with our debate, or with our species?

  • @questionsamson Because we dont have true dominance over other species you egomaniac. We are simply smarter.

    Are you one of those creationist weirdos??

  • Comment removed

  • atheism FTW! ;p

  • i am trying to phyically eplode

    WATCH OUT.

  • What is a wonder is a purely a matter of subjective assertion. It's belief based.

    Design is a concept based on belief not facts.

    Design is a myth. All meaning is a myth.

  • you dont mean that;)

  • :) yeah

    But seriously, applying Dawkins line of reasoning to achieve his atheist view, one looks for the facts and finds there are none. Therefore these things can be dismissed as belief/myths.

  • ^^ I was not doubting you, meerely playing with words... you said all meaning is a myth. Thus you could not have ment what you said;)

  • Really cool!

  • Dawkins, is really amazing. I have such man love for him

  • I know the feeling, I absolutely love Carl Sagan.

  • we should burn all spiders

  • Wow, those spiders are fascinating!

  • Amazing

  • Man, Richard Dawkins is the shit yo XD

  • actually...

    man appeared 200 000 years ago, you're off by 14600000000%

    it takes a dumbass like you to actually reach such errors...

    our DNA is about 97% like chimpanzees...so yeah...there goes another incredibly dumb statement of yours...

    we came from great apes, its pretty well documented now, chimpanzees and bonobos act very similar to us too.

    there is really nothing left to explain about man. we've even mapped down superstition and how we got it and became religion.

    accept the truth man

  • Apart from everything.

  • There is nothing like man on this planet NOW, but there was. We know now from comparative anatomy, bone structure and mitochondrial DNA that Neanderthals were not human, but shared many human traits, such has creating art, caring for sick and burying their dead.

    A completely different species that was even more advanced then our human ancestors. Doesn't really fit with Creationism, does it?

  • Hear hear!

  • so true I love how passionate he is about science!

  • @tonymontana1996

    Yeah, taking his brain steroids makes ones 'STUPID' smaller too.

  • He is so sexy!!!

  • @samdrophy I KNOW, I KNOW!! Even at his age now too!! Gawd, I have the biggest thing for him atm. It's really embarrassing. If I ever meet him, what will I do? Would I be able to separate my infatuation with the reality of my wanting to have a serious debate with him? But I should be ok because I found out about his "sex-factor" after I became a fan of his intellectual output. But yeah, SO SO SO SEXY!!

  • Why Are Smirking World Leaders and Celebrities Exchanging Hook Em Horns Hand Signal Publiclly When They Did Not All Go To Texas University?

    Interesting that the research to properly answer the above question provides a great deal of clarity in finding the truth.

  • T.H.E. L.I.N.K. = "This Hoax Entails Logic's Inversion, Not 'Knowledge'"

    The Bible warns about false science in 1 Timothy 6:20 (King James Version).

  • It also tells you to stone cheeky children to death and keep slaves. It's full of bad science itself infact. It should practice what it interminably preaches.

  • Yeah, lets blame modern medicine, space exploration and super-computers on "false science".

    Just keep in mind that the same Bible also tells of a man who lived inside a fish, a talking snake, and a pregnant virgin.

    Now there's some real science for you.

  • What makes you so certain?

  • Because there aren't intermediates! We, qua humans, were created differently than animals!

    D.A.R.W.I.N.I.U.S.

    M.A.S.I.L.L.A.E.= "Darwin Anniversary Rackateers Wanted 'Intermediary' Named 'Ida' Unveiled So Mascot Attracts Students Indeed Lusting Like Apes Everywhere!"

    The sole purpose of evolutionary indoctrination is to take humanity's focus off of God and onto animals, like Romans chapter 1 adduces.

    The last acronym made is the scientific name for "Ida".

    I.D.A. = "I Doubt Atheism"

  • Your acronyms are somewhat impressive...

    Not really.

  • aren't intermediates? what a bullshit statement. thats such a fucking dumb statement I'm willing to bet you're part chimp...oh wait no, chimps don't say such dumbass statements like you do.

    its called science, if you dont like it than you can fuck off.

    the proof is literally at your fingertips, there are so many websites dedicated to learning science in a easy manner so that you can comprehend, but you're too much of a fucking biggot to be intelectually honest with yourself.

  • HMM its called science, if you dont like it than you can fuck off.'

    That's exactly what Darwin used to say to his wife.

    And then he added 'Listen you mad religious tart, get yer knickers off!'

  • so allah is real after all?

    HOLY SHIT

  • Stupid religious nuts. Shut up and listen to this man, he speaks the truth, and HE IS REAL! Unlike your "god". You see, the difference between sciene and religion is that science can be proved with evidence. Religion is bull shit.

  • Aristotle would say that one can not prove a negative. so sayeth "the hammer"

    Aristotle would piss himself laughing if he heard that come from someone who imagined a god and then said prove there isnt one as their argument.

  • I hate spider webs... I always walk straight into them. :(

  • So maybe you have been a fly in a former life ...

  • lmfao...

  • Do spiders eat their webs? I don't think so I never heard of that before.

  • Yes, they sure do !

  • thanks for replying repectfully.

  • Of course I know that because I haven't heard of something doesn't make it not so. And if you noticed, I placed the question in front of my statement first in a quisitive manner. So my opinion does matter. Someone else would have put it to me different instead of telling me my opinion isn't a real one or to do some research. Get a life;.

  • sorry for misunderstanding but in the way you put it  ,most would misunderstand it. you see, you make a statement by asking a question and then providing an answer, no offence ment so peace. still i do feel that having an opinion on something can only be when someone atleast knows about the subject.

  • ok gotcha

  • Ha ha ha. I like Dawkins but that's funny.

  • That fucking bolas spider was awesome and hilarious, just swinging wildly.

    "YARGH! CATCH, DAMN YOU! CAAAATCH! *WHIP WHIP WHIP*" XD

  • i thought he'd retired from his professorship?

  • Comment removed

  • Excellend

  • hey dawkins if you would actually ever read this. I didn't expect such mistake from you. You were right about web being too tight and fly flying through it. But the actually problem with lose web would be web entagling it self and making it difficult for the spider to walk around on it. web actually needs to be lose for the fly to be caught on it. That is what the mechanism of extra web does.

  • I do love Dawkins :D

  • I love Dawkins too, he opened up my world and I see all things with new eyes. How wonderful to have reached such awareness of your surroundings. THanks for posting

  • Hey. Good post. However, it was Carl Sagan who 'opened my eyes' to science. Carl also was a pot smoker. Which is aces in my book...

  • Sagan was an atheist to the 'Gods' of religion. As far as being an agnostic, well, for Sagan, he required proof for claims. That includes Gods.

  • You're not making any sense. Dawkins' is an agnostic in the same way that Sagan was. Both are/were atheists when it comes/came to the Gods of religion. However, both are/were open to the possiblity that there is an intelligence to the universe. I don't think you understand much about Sagan or Dawkins. Also, Sagan is a hero to Dawkins, as he has claimed in many interviews and books.

  • Dawkins is an agnostic. He even says so in his book (The God Delusion). He rates agnosticism on a Continuum. He is at the highest level of agnosticism. Straddling the border between agnosticism and atheism. He's an atheist in regards to the Gods of religion (like Sagan was). However, he is agnostic to the possibility of an intelligence behind the universe. However, as I said, he's a 'heavy agnostic' to that concept. Also, this is Crazykb.

  • He doesn't make fun of people. However, again, Dawkins doesn't believe in the Gods of religion. For example, there could be an intelligence behind the universe, in the form of an alien being living in a Parallel universe. Physics states that its possible to create a universe, if certain theories, like String Theory, turn out to be correct. All it takes is the technology to do it. Again, if the theories are correct. Anyway, food for thought...

  • I have heard Dawkins make comments to people that were curt. However, some of the questions asked to Dawkins are, well, silly. Also, when you compare Dawkins to other people, like Hitchens, he isn't all that rude. Not to mention, if you get asked enough dumb questions, well, you are going to to get annoyed after a while. Give the guy some slack.

  • So, your only point is that Dawkins is rude at times. So what? Look at what religious people state about things like homosexuality, premarital sex, ect. If the only point you have to make, is concerning Dawkins' 'Rudeness', you don't much to debate.

  • I mean't: ' You don't have much to debate.'
