Heres the link to the paper that Sam Harris co-wrote:
http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0007272

CORRECTION: When Falwell is speaking, a line appears that says, "Congrats, that is an appeal to majority," which is a mistake on my part. It appears again where it's supposed to with the literature professor, so I apologize for that inconvenience.

This is in no way a disproof of God or Gods. Rather, this is a video to correct some misconceptions about atheism and atheists so that we could engage in more rational discussions.

Atheism is not religion.

[amorphousguy]

Christianity will someday become obsolete, just like the religions of Classical Greece and Mesopotamia.

@compsciguy No proof for evolution? What did mommy and daddy have to do to create you? And what did their parents do? Follow this all the way down the line and you come back to the first bacteria on earth. This wouldnt have happened if Evolution weren't a fact.

@roont

There's no proof for evolution. There's proof for gravity and relativity. Just saying.

@amorphousguy

That's what the communists thought. They failed miserably.

Appealing to the popularity of a movement as evidence of his truth is flipping awesome.

Remember when the world was flat, and the sun rolled around it like a ball on a glass axis, just because that was what people believed?

@roont I understand the meaning of the word theory very well, I also understand that the scientific community has changed the meaning of it over time. But look at what you wrote: "a coherent group of general propositions used as principles of explanation for a class of phenomena"

Do you understand what a "proposition" means? It does NOT mean fact. There are people that don't want to think that there could possibly be a God, and will believe in anything to explain away anything to cause doubt.

[fundreamer1]

@roont Yes, I think the social security number is a bad thing, it is another step toward getting all people to be obedient to the laws of the land instead of God, try checking out the mark of the beast.

I'm not saying that the social security number is the mark of the beast, but it sure breaks down the defenses anyone might come up with to not take the mark when it is made law.

Where will you draw the line? After it's too late?

[roont]

@fundreamer1

You also seem to misunderstand "theory". Theory doesn't mean that its just a guess. Theory is defined as: a coherent group of general propositions used as principles of explanation for a class of phenomena.

Evolution is as much an established fact in the scientific community as the "theory" of relativity. Or the "theory" of gravity. or the "theory" of electromagnetism.
