I love all the butthurt on this video.

A professional philosopher who actually knows the arguments and studies logic/reasoning and people think he's "stupid" or that he doesn't know what he's talking about...yet a bioligist is somehow an expert on the subject?

That's not even an appeal to authority...it's common sense. You kids need to take your heads out your asses. You're wrong, get over it.

LOL, did atheists really just do what I think they did? Really? Did you guys just thumbs down a video of a more intellectual atheist than yourselves in order to support the lunacy of Richard Dawkins since his utter stupidity and disregard for critical thinking identifies well with your own convictions? HAHA, you guys just outed yourselves as philosophical idiots and you probably didn't even realize it. This is too funny -and too damning.

Oh that crazy atheist religion, it gets heaping tons of brown excrement dumped on it each day.

The religion of the gods of nothingness and magical spontaneous evo-creation.

Are all atheist-church-members really so bitter, angry, and deluded?

I think there is only one small chapter in "The God Delusion" that addresses these philosophical arguments (i.e. that's not what the book is about). The truth is, the VAST majority of theists don't believe because of these arguments, nor do they believe in the DEIST God that these arguments attempt to demonstrate. "The God Delusion" was referring to the mass delusion of thinking you have an imaginary friend or thinking you have a holy book with the secrets of the universe...

Dawkins has a YouTube video on Guppy evolution. I'd say that qualifies him to speak with authority on religion.

Anyone with half a brain can spot the flaw in Dawkins' analysis of the probability of god in The God Delusion. Dawkins never addresses properly the metaphysical discussion on dualism vs. physicalism, of great importance in philosophy. If you dislike this, you have absolutely no clue about philosophy or metaphysics. Go read the available material on the subject for yourselves, and do it IMPARTIALLY, like the science you idolize so much, but constantly disrespect by being Dawkins' tape recorder!

@M3PanoS Yeah! Disliking this video is proof of how people in youtube base their opinions on absolutely nothing other than... youtube. People buy into Dawkins' bullshit because of his rough arguments against utterly ignorant young-earth creationists. I mean, it's entertaining. But anyone with half a brain can spot the flaw in his analysis of the probability of god in The God Delusion. Dawkins never addresses properly the discussion on dualism vs. physicalism, of great importance in philosophy.

Darwinism = religion

@DawahFilms So true.

@gogolplex74

that's so true. I would like to agree on that. No matter others say, he has a very, very persuasive argument.
