Richard Dawkins 'stumped' hoax videos exposed

This video shows 2 popular videos on youtube of Richard Dawkins appearing to be stumped on a question played parallel. It exposes the continuity errors of his expressions during a question which he could have answered easily and has answered before. At least one of the videos is portraying him being stumped when in reality he just discovered they were creationists and was wondering how to best handle the situation.

After the video was uploaded, the link at the end stopped working. Due to many requests, I've posted working link of the article below.

@jagara1 Which was not the answer to the question posed to him. The question asked for an example not a theory.

@AvalonMoon22 Exactly where do you hear Dawkins asking to stop the tape so that he can think HOW TO ANSWER THE QUESTION?

All I hear is him asking to stop the tape and the sentence is then cut.

"The question is not so complicated; name an example."

Please define "information" in the context of "information in the genome".

One answer would be, gene duplication. Another would be, gene inversion. One might also want to look up the eukaryotic RAD51 gene and its paralogs and then wonder why the prokaryotic ancestor, RecA, is inverted compared to RAD51 and why every single RAD51 paralog seems to have a unique function in human.

@sexyxrs "there is somewhere letter from dawkins explaining this"

Yep.

richard dawkins fucked up an easy question about an example in which a mutation increased genetic information and had to think about it. therefore, evolution is wrong.

Part 3

Further, animals may have an equally number of chromosomes, but it doesnt mean they are the same. Like humans and antilopes, both have 46 chromosomes, yet they are not the same.. Meaning your example made no sense what so ever.

Part 2

I would like to know what type of monkey you are talking about. Espcially since chromosomes are in pairs and therefore they dont (or rarely) occour as single ones, unless you have a disease like downs syndrome. Maybe you thought of a chimpanse, though they have 48 not 45.

@Mrhayemekka

I hope you read all this

Accoring to the evolution theory, evolution is caused by gradually mutation in DNA over time, not getting more or less genes right anyway. When a people are born with downs syndrome, its because of the fact that all their cells have one ekstra of chromosome number 21. A gene and a chromosome are two different things.

Wich either video is real or fake, he does get stumped, he does ask the camera's to get switch off, and he does completely fail to give an answers.

on both video's the question is the same, on both videos he fails to answer and gets stumped

[MrHayeMekka]

Dawkins changes the subject cos the real answer is that when u have extra genes it hampers u. for example Down Syndrome is the result of having extra genes, this would mean that since we have extra genes as compared to monkeys, so by that theory we are Retarded decendants of Monkeys.

But ofcourse that is not true, Dawkin's own theories are proven wrong by science itself,. Dawkins isnt a real scientist just a guy trying to get his books to sell, even though they are scientificly incorrect
