thumps ups if you predict what quote was going to be

Wow... The guy gets it explained, in EXPLICIT detail, how his conclusion is TOTALLY and DEMONSTRABLY wrong, and yet he COMPLETELY disregards is all and leaves in a huff as if the hosts are being bullheaded for not agreeing hands down with his incomprehensibly flawed "point".

He decided that, not matter what, that bit of that quote was the linch pin in his reasons for disregarding any and all evidence in order to protect his fragile beliefs.

Richard Dawkins did a great speech on this: /watch?v=lKFtNuGt4rw

Darwin's Evolution of the Eye is one of the most often used creationist mined quotes. There are also the Eddington Concession and Dawkins' Cambrian Explosion.

@Shockna Thanks! Interesting yet another ideology that struggles with the concept of evolution.

@DontBendOverForAllah "Raëlians". They're a crazy religion based on the idea that the creators of humanity were a race of alien beings known as the "Elohim".

and after all that James said "Well I made my point anyway"

That entire exchange after he quoted Darwin went completely over his head.

@Grey13Human And Pat Condell says 'God Bless Atheism' it's called being Ironic. The Theory (ie explanation for different species) is 'natural selection' so the correct phrase would be 'Natural Selectionist' not 'Darwinist' or 'Evolutionist'

At 06:20 he says - Communists, 'second word', Objectivists - can anybody tell me what that second word, is I can't make it out.

'Scientific Theory' is not a 'Theory' - to believe that is an Equivication Fallacy. A 'Scientific Theory' is an explanation which fits the facts. As such it is not 'truth' but rather an 'incomplete truth' To be 'truth' Darwin's theory would need to be proved, requiring an accurate record of every single living thing that has ever lived, which is not possible.

@DontBendOverForAllah Heh, Dawkins often uses terms "darwinist" and "darwinian".
