AronRa Q&A on Darwin Day (3 of 3)

This is the question-and-answer session following the keynote presentation at Broward College in Ft. Lauderdale.

Once again, I would like to thank the sponsors of this event, especially the Florida Atheists and Secular Humanists. They not only covered my transportation and accommodations, but also treated me to grilled ribeye steaks with German beer and the company of several interesting and intellectual people in a very pleasant environment. They were very good hosts, and I had quite a nice weekend overall.

just for the record that message wasn't sent by me LOL.I sent him messages on the facts that nucleotide can't mutate enough to make vertical evolution possible.

[AronRa]

It's interesting that you still claim it to be a 'fact' that evolution is impossible -while ignoring the fact that it has already been directly observed and documented in real time both in the lab and in naturally controlled environments in the field. How do you explain that?

"You cant convince a believer of anything; for their belief is not based on evidence, its based on a deep seated need to believe."

- Carl Sagan

Man, Aron really nailed it. You can present all the information and evidence you want, they will not accept it. It's not a lack of evidence of evolution, it's a lack of acceptance.

My mum is the kind of person who doesn't believe in a god, but her thinking is still Christian, even though I keep pointing that out to her. Like she can't stand homosexuality. She makes gagging noises even if two men hold hands.

Amazing presentation. Can't wait to see you again tomorrow on The Atheist Experience.

You, sir, are my new favorite speaker.

@AronRa Hey Aron, great videos btw. I am looking for a particular video of yours "Turns out we DID come from monkeys" but I cannot find the original upload. Rumor is that it was removed. Is this true?

[RickysaurusNY]

Wish the Q&A would have been longer, and the guy using the camera putting in less of what he thinks are quips.
