Richard Dawkins on "Teach the controversy"

[metalmike83]

All creationists have to do to find a transitional form is check out the duck-billed platypus. It's a mammal that lays eggs, it walks like a reptile and it's reproductive system is more reptilian than mammalian.

[MineWind]

She looks fucking insane!

[XRNoma]

This person has no intelligence or no education to even argue with Dawkins about subjects she has 0 clue on could these people at least read one book on the subjects they are arguing against and read the bible LITERALLY instead of making lies

[SuperWonderface]

".....all life is related in a vast family tree." such a beautiful statement that falls on deaf ears

[sfg911]

Where is the evidence for evolution??

I'd like to parody that and just keep repeating "where is all the evidence for god!?" and then never listen.... but in the case for god it is just all the more interesting hearing the logical pitfalls and pure insanity brought to the table as evidence.

My favorite is the human sacrificial scapegoat that Christians are always eating the flesh of and splashing the blood around while making claims of moral superiority.

[M3t4lManiac]

@sfg911 well put.

[BXBZ88]

She looked like a deer in a headlight when he started to describe the evidence of Reptilian to Mammalian Jaw transition.

[MUHAMMADFUCKEDAKID1]

@BXBZ88 She didn't have anything to say also,,,,,she needs dragging around the evidence by her childhood indoctrinated ears.

[Blahb27]

Forget Al-Sahaf and his "There are no Americans in Baghdad", this woman is much better at denying things.

[hisnameisfrankie]

That woman is evil, and the sad thing is, she doesn't know or want to know.

[ZachRose88]

Her passive aggressive smiling and laughing makes me so angry; it's a miracle that Dawkins kept his calm here.

[VOD713]

She is scary

[NorseMariner7]

If they want to teach the controversy, lets teach our kids the controversy of storks delivering babies. Zeus causing lightning. Poseidon controlling the water system. Let's teach them that ALL gods created by man are real. Not going to buy that Christians? Didn't think so, you don't want to teach the controversy at all, just your own.

[Cootabux]

I saw this interview with Wendy Wright She is in such deep denial of Evolution, that she will absolutely refuse to look at....4 example, whale transitional fossils, which I see as some of the best evidence 4 the Evolution of land mammals to whales.

People like Wendy lack honor & integrity. This is why they can lie so easily. They'll never be honest in their assessment of the evidence b/c they simply don't want to know. They feel they must believe in their ghost-god, & to hell with the truth.

[MomOfThreeCats]

Oh, goodness. She is soooo dense.

[kemalcs]

Gravity has no evidence..it's a theory..even Newton knew this

We should teach theory of gravity and intelligent falling together:)

[BlackMetalWorld]

@kemalcs wtf? we can see evidence, if you jump of a cliff you get pulled towards the earth and you proably die, thats evidence enough xD

[kemalcs]

@BlackMetalWorld If this so called theory of gravity is true, then why birds do not fall, when they jump of a cliff:)

[BlackMetalWorld]

@kemalcs are you serious? Maybe becuase of the fucking air? Durr durr

[kemalcs]

@BlackMetalWorld Of course I am kidding

[BlackMetalWorld]

@kemalcs yeah, I thought that you trolled me because nobody could be so retarded xD

[skydome29]

"The way you framed it in closed minded" he was "adapting" to his environment, stupidty.

[cy4nide23]

Whenever I see Dawkins talk to this stupid bitch I just wish he would like slap her or something... or call in Hitchins for one of his patented Hitch-slaps (Hitchins is just better at saying something with much more sting than Dawkins, as much of a fan of his I am)

[vinniechan]

Watching the entire interview is a type of brain torture that wud break any information that Jack Bauer has failed to.

[gregrutz]

I love the way she calls him 'closed minded' Creatards !

[SunnyLovetts]

Dawkin's is so uppity. Intelligent design has a lot of credibility, I've looked into the evidence for a few years now. And I'm an atheist, soooo I don't know what to believe now...

[stevethemongolian]

"one evidence" 0:46

wtf

[GirlFromIpanema1966]

It's a pity that Richard Dawkins did not qualify for military service in the British Military;he might have made something of his life. Now it seems that he has become just another academic speculator.

[skydome29]

@GirlFromIpanema1966 Well he has done a great deal with his life, he will probably be put near the likes of Sagan and Bronowski as public educators. Not to mention his field of study and his work at oxford.

[Wrahns]

I've got nothing so i will insult you... Well done wendy, shot yourself in the foot.

[rjc34]

@Wrahns Evidence? BIBLE QUOTE.

[orangemod]

This woman clearly has done absolutely NO research of science. I don't know if she is a well known person on creationism, but if she is she is doing them a huge dis-service.

[skydome29]

@orangemod aren't they all to us?

[orangemod]

@skydome29 Yeah, but jeez !!!!! you would think she would have done at least a little research first. I'm probably not saying anything everyone here hasn't already thought of.....

Cheers, Dave

[skydome29]

@orangemod haha yeah, her research is minimal, and her evidence is shrugs, smug smiles, and laughing--my favourite defence when I was 6.

[orangemod]

@skydome29 Hang on there Skydome don't sell yourself short....... I'll bet at 6 you had a much better grasp on science than she does now !!! LOL 0)

[willd3rbeast]

Dawkins and Carl Sagan, are my heros

[dycarbon1]

"So, is there evidence for evolution or isn't there? LET ME SHOW YOU!"

*awesome rhythmic music*

love it!

[Traumarituel]

Even if Dawkins pulled out a back pack full of examples. Hell, even if he bent over and shit it out she would smile do the fake laugh and pull on another interpretation of faith for it.

That woman is a moron and is beyond argument.

[TheMorningStar1991]

lmao i'd like to see her try to show off some evidence of "god popped the universe into existence in the span of a week six thousand years ago." do that, and THEN i'll consider teaching the controversy!

[tomjur2000]

i feel a little better... i thought i was the only one that wanted to reach through the screem and choke the bitch to death... looks like there's more of us out there

[yourmumgavemehead69]

God is real

[speedproductions797]

She's refusing to know.

[motardkool]

I just hate her smile when she says at 0:30 "in your very close mindedness..."

I' ve watched the entire interview and wanted to scream....

[Thomash89]

1:36 something came crashing down did it?

[Bringerofdeath9753]

There is one thing that I'd have liked for Dawkins to do when the woman asked for him to "show her the bones."

Simply ask " may I use your computer to show you them?" Catch the way she'd deny Tiktaalik as a transitional fossil on camera. Then we can all laugh.

Or, if she asks about transition from apes to humans, list a bunch of them off the top of your head. I can think of five species easily enough, I'm sure Dawkins could do far better.

[martyaus2905]

People who believe in god are fucked in the head.

[freethinker923]

Lol. Did you see how big that lady's eyes got? She was like, "oh shit he blew my cover".

[Paulwhoisvegan]

Woah! Wendy! "Show me the bones"? WOW! He should just say "Ok" I will show some porn

[Voodoofreak35]

I agree with Wendy Wright! Why are you atheists so close minded about Intelligence Design as being TRUE?

We should certainly teach the controversy in school biology lessons that Yaweh had sex with Allah and give birth to Adam who had anal sex with a giant whale and cum on the face of the earth that made YOU and ME!

[tipoomaster]

Retard woman: So where is this "Evidence" you speak of?

Dawkins: *describes some evidence*

Retard woman: So where is this "Evidence" you speak of?

Dawkins: *describes some evidence*

Retard woman: So where is this "Evidence" you speak of?

Dawkins: FFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUU!

[jlroberts9914]

Wow, the chimp Dawkins almost talked about DNA. Sometimes I wish evolution was a fact, for the evolutionist. If Dawkins would evolve out of the cult and actually apply the scientific method and quit being such a retarded cult zealot we actually achieve something.

[MegaLibertyPrime]

this is just silly

you are silly

[jlroberts9914]

Sure.

[stevjen1]

Hey man, you are joking arent you? Perhaps you think the world is flat too?

[jlroberts9914]

Right, flat! I'm being serious? LOL.

DNA is a code! Dawkins is the chimp.

[aaabbbccc5]

Oh sweet Lord, this Woman is a pain in the ass!

[Kingucktoad]

some of the reptilian jaw bones have moved into the inner ear!?

WOW

That is so cool!

[Voodoofreak35]

Yes, the evolution of the jaw bones are demonstrated with the so-called "transitional fossils" that the fucking religious buffs have always been "asking" for. It's just amazing.

It's really amazing!

[fishman148]

i just wish he did the interview in front of these fossils and bones. i woner what that wendy wright have said then.

[eviephenomena]

Unfortunately I'm not sure she would understand what she would be looking at. I have a dark feeling that she would want to see evidence for croco-kittens.

[jlroberts9914]

I do not know if she knows what she is talking about with Creation, because hers is an attack on evolution as a close minded cult. A creation scientist could point out all of the evidence that may prove micro-evolution true and macro-evolution as the farce it is, so there is no way your god will debate someone who knows what they are talking about.

[fishman148]

"so there is no way your god will debate someone who knows what they are talking about"

what does this mean??

[jlroberts9914]

Each of those fossils proves only species adaptation or mutation but they actually prove evolution to be a farce every time they uncover a new one. Dawkins is the evolutionists god because he speaks and they are completely blind to his absurdity. He is a fraud.

[fishman148]

U mean the fossils he mentions at the end of the vid right?

May I ask why they actually prove evolution is fake? I am sorry but I though they were evidence for evolution. I guess the way he presented it mislead me. Looking forward to ur reply

thanx

[TehSugan]

@jlroberts9914

You are joking right?

Species adaptation and mutation is evolution.

[rishi007316]

@fishman148 she would have still asked "Where is the evidence?"

[archangel385]

Richard Dawkins is the MAN!

[rigelpug]

I love Dawkins, more every day! Lala is a lucky woman!

[djnross]

Any interview with such an obtuse atavist could only serve as 'field research' for Dawkins on the whys and wherefores of Creationist recalcitrance in this ,an Age Of Information.

[NoSz4]

from 'birds' to 'mammals' says wendy wright....

What a retard.

[sabemius]

When any answer obliges the other to "have faith", then there is no way that any evidence on evolution is enough to convince the one who does not want to listen to reason if it goes against her faith. Her brain has been washed clean of any logic and reason, in its place there is only faith. A tragic part of religion to control humans; its similar to a lobotomy!

[madzyzome]

Her idea of prove is a fossil for every living creature that ever existed.

[bungbung13131]

if you watch the whole interview, she almost straight up asks him to bring her the bones from the museums.

[vcomp1960]

Look at this woman's face at about 3:31..She looks scared!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[wowggscrub]

the video clip is only 3:30.

[vcomp1960]

Sorry.....I meant 1:30 to about 1:33

[wowggscrub]

lol she is like GULP !

[nlgatewood]

yeah, watch the whole interview on youtube, it's in 7 parts...and omg, it's painful

[GuppyPal]

what a fucktwit. I don't normally condone violence, but that bitch needs to have some sense slapped into her.

[heloizyjhenifer]

"bird to mammal"

She can be looking for a very long time to find that one :).

[badpanda84]

The problem is she wouldnt know what a transitional fossil would look like,

She is probably expecting to find a parrotfish

[BRtankbuster]

I love showing the interview with Wendy Wright to any person who claims how arrogant Dawkins is. That women is SO smug and SO self-righteous that she's just asking for a smack in the face.

Yet Dawkins just stays cool as a cucumber, and as polite as only an Oxford don can be.

[ProfoundReality2]

@BRtankbuster I would have liked it if Dawkins had smacked that bitch, but whatever.

[Mahouranger]

She's very smug and impolite.

[swampratinthesun]

I don't suppose you could actually take a look at part 7 of the Wright interview at 1 minute 15 seconds into the video, and then take a look at part 2, at one minute 13 seconds in and then still conclude that the editing was untouched? Not debating any deity here, just saying that some editor might have "jazzed it up a bit".

[VideodronesQuestions]

As I already stated, I make no claim to "The Genius of Charles Darwin" being an unedited production, of course the opposite must be true. However if you wish to continue, it can hardly be a surprize that an hour long interview had to be condensed into a 3.5min segment. This is the same with all the interviews during this great documentary. However, as you seem to want to point out, the full interviews are available to all, yes, we are in complete agreement. Thanks again for the suggestion.

[zoobiewa]

Yes. And how honest of the Dawkins group to honestly put the entire source up so we could make our own decisions on whether or not she was accurately portrayed.

[heloizyjhenifer]

The whole interview is available unedited in 7 parts on youtube. Unless you meant to say just that.

[swampratinthesun]

Unfortunately, this can be viewed on part seven of the Dawkins/ Wright interviews at one minute 15 seconds, and this discourse, as presented, did not happen. But don't take my word for it. Look at the interview on part seven.

[VideodronesQuestions]

Fortunately, this is from "The Genius of Charles Darwin" (as mentioned in the description), and this dicourse, as presented, is without edits from this great documentary. Take my word for it, and have a look. Thanks for the information though, already own the uncut interviews on DVD, which is a great view in itself, which I'd also recommend!

[zoobiewa]

I think the edits were actually incredibly kind to Wright. She could have been edited down to look like a decimated, horribly hypocritical, vindictive bitch in a minute and thirty rather than this sympathetic view. Here she looks just a bit naive and obtuse but nowhere near the wrapped up concoction of manipulative disingenuity and rhetorical poison that the 7 part series exposes.

[5Grave5Robber5]

Could not have possibly put it any better myself!

[SimulacronX]

Oh and thanks for posting this awesome footage

[SimulacronX]

Holy ****.

I was even considerating her maybe acting, but no! She's just... a damn stupid wally, at the verge of severe debility

[Zephon9]

lol the look that the dumb blonde gives Dawkins after he tells her about the former reptilian bones in the ear is priceless.

[Y0ts0]

i bet she thought "but i have no teeth in my ear" lol

[3472af]

which documentary is this

[3472af]

this is a perfect example of why creationists are naive there's tons of evidence for evolution but because she doesn't want to believe it she convinces herself that there isn't

[qasim88]

But he couldn't provide scientific evidence to her question. He instead waffles on about a reptilian jaw which HE SAYS is a "beautiful STORY". she asked for scientific evidence NOT stories

[ObsidianHelios]

Contrary to the unfounded objections of creationists, evolution is not an inherently atheistic theory.

It does not, in and of itself, prove or imply that there is no designer. However, it does show that such a being is not necessary in order to account for life's complexity, which is all that it takes to defeat the design argument.

[qasim88]

Yes but what it "does show" isn't a strong enough argument. What would prove evolution to be true would be a fossil during the transitional period yet none have actually been found. This video claims that there are millions. Well, what about the millions of fossils that have been found and well documented in "The Atlas of Creation" that shows how species have remained unchanged for millions of years?

[ObsidianHelios]

Yes, because having almost the same Endogenous RetroViruses (A one in a couple trillion chance), having a Fused Chromosome made from 2 chimp chromosomes (another one in a couple trillion chance), 98.5% of our DNA matching, and huge fossil evidence (Austrolapiphicus to homo erectus, with dozens of fossils in between) definately prove we have no relation to one another. Yep, us evolution-believing atheists are nuts. Let me guess do you look at dirt and say "This is what I was before god made me!"?

[Proletariat12]

Well it would help to actually know what a transitional species is. Are you expecting to see a fucking crocoduck? Please tell me you aren't that dumb.

The progression of the jaw is just one example of the changing of species. You can trace the transitions through all animal species.

They are there, you just don't want to see it. Just like that incredibly ditzy moronic women on this video.

[rrpostalagain]

"evolution to be true would be a fossil during the transitional period"

What does that even mean? Every single fossil is "in the transitional period". I don't even know where to start with this argument. What do you think a transitional fossil would be? Is it really that you are looking for a Crocaduck? I thought even you guys realized that would DISprove evolution not prove it.

Seriously, what sort of fossil do you think would be "transitional"?

[rrpostalagain]

What do you think a fossil "in the transitional period" would be? At each stage they are a complete and successfully existing life form. Do you think they are a "good" life form, then decide to change and go through this metamorphosis period where they are just trying to get to the next "good" stage? I don't mean to put word in your mouth, but what you say makes no sense. All of those fossils are transitioning all the time. They are also complete species unto themselves at all times.

[Entertainmentwf]

what an ignorant statement. He just told her an example which is supported by evidence. As he stated that there is a strong record of that progression. Were you even listening to him..? Clearly not.

[rrpostalagain]

THAT IS EVIDENCE! Duh! What are you expecting?

[madzyzome]

I loved her facial expression. She was pretty much insulting him, calling him close minded. THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT SHE WAS!!

[emosuol2]

god she is dum

[PcKSnipE]

No evidence? WTF? The evidence is all around us, there's a lot of evidence. Evidence of god: Nil

show me an angel wing and i'll sotp being an atheist

[xxxBeanyxxx]

I would've had to punch her.

[crushthechurch]

You can predict everything that comes out of her mouth as if she was a wind up doll.

[leeroynaggins]

Show me one angel wing...

[marcluc1988]

Creationists are deluded fools.

[shanefairhead]

She seems like an intelligent woman, its such a shame that she is so closed-minded to evidence.

[suapntdoen]

She seems like she's on crack or something.

[shanefairhead]

:D I would think that if she was on a partial bit of crack she would be a little more intelligent.

She's doped up on the bible, and ignorance.

[suapntdoen]

hahaha, I can see her as being another Ted Haggard... by day a Evangelical leader, by night hiring prostitutes and doing crystal meth...

[guitarmaestro078]

She doesnt seem intelligent to me...

[flyingscience]

1:33 Wendy panics , shes never heard it before , she has no comeback. Dawkins should have given her a tour himself -That would be a show!

[jazzx251]

It would be like that scene in "The Meaning of Life" where a man in a colourful suit walks out of her fridge and shows her the mysteries of the universe!

[flyingscience]

Jazz - that would make a great redo of this video hah ha ha .

[flyingscience]

The real issue is that fundamentalist psychology is so strong to deny ignore and block out what they dont like .The womans look on her face after R.D's answer says it all!
