Dawkins talks about "our big brains", an evolution falacy. Brain size relates to body mass which needs control, not intelligence. Inteligence relates to brain design, not size. Human dwarfs have brains have normal size but are equally intelligent to normal people. Whales have brains far larger than man's but are not nearly as intelligent. Dawkins dorfs himself once more.
Lame questioneer: "what is the answer, what is the answer-I'm waiting" (silly man try to dartboarding Dennett)...
Dawkins: "Read Dennetts BOOKS!" I's simply the only answer but that guy will never read a book about the subject because he can't and won't - he do not want to know it for real.
lol - "strong atheism"
Kudos to Dennett, Dawkins and others' stamina for the debates regarding these questions.
And seriously - Where in Odins name did the Dawker loose?!
No, Dennent could have easily use his minute to give an idea of the response. That was a copout to save face in front of the audience. Anybody who picks up a book flips it over to get an idea what the book is about. He didnt even ask for time to explain what his idea was about.
I believe that no omnipotent benevolence exists. There are probably other reasons to discredit the idea of God/Allah/Yahweh but I don't really see a mathematical proof for God's non existence here. Plenty of reasons but they're not exactly math. More like reasoning or references to longer arguments.

@Chuck1863 No one knows what's outside the circle. It's just that the followers of Jesus Christ have a larger circle that encapsulates the naturalists' self-imposed circle of material truths.
@RighteousPaladin The neurosurgeon is aware that he's not a mechanic. People making claims about gods don't seem to be aware that they don't really know whether or not their gods even exist.
The arrogance here, IMO, is that Francis Collins actually believes he knows what's outside the circle of all knowledge obtained by man. The proper response is "Why should anyone believe you have any expertise in that area? And if you can't demonstrate it, why should anyone care what you say?"
Hehe. "Surely my TRUE FAITH(tm) in a ridiculous iron age superstition can't be rejected merely because it can be demonstrated that all these other ridiculous iron age superstitions are nonsense."
Well, actually, that is exactly it. It belongs to a family of apparently retarded claims, and to be taken seriously, there has to be evidence. Precisely because we know humans have made up a plethora of such ideas and we have no reason to think your religion is any different.

Dick Dawkins is logically crippled and has an intellect based solely on sarcasm. In other words, he's like every other atheist in the world.

Why is it that the people who know the least about what's currently inside the circle claim to know the most about what's outside the circle?

@RighteousPaladin But if someone is wrong about what's in the smaller circle, how can their knowledge of the larger circle be trusted?

@Chuck1863 A neurosurgeon may make a poor mechanic: put your faith in one to fix your brain and the other your vehicle.

Chuck1863 1 month ago
@Chuck1863 Yes, that does seem almost as bad as the neurosurgeon expressing certainty that brains exist. Perhaps he should run it by the mechanic?

@RighteousPaladin Neurosurgeons can see brains and get useful results by operating on them.
