Looks like most of the people who commented on the video are more or less good educated atheists and scientists. I wish there were a better place to discuss things and have a result in the end. Instead, I am observing an unnecessary fight between brainwashed religion defenders and smart scientists.

Christianity is about forgiveness and not fear? About acceptance? Like how you accept people who want to be gay and accept what science has already concluded they can't change?

As a Mechanical Engineering major, how badly do you get laughed out of the dorms when you say being gay is a choice and God is greater than science? I say dorms because there's no way you're an upper-division ME student who still believes in Christianity.

Your religion is a fanaticism of hatred and narrow mindedness.

Think about it. You are god and you create a bird. You think, "Wow that turned out great, maybe I should make another animal." Why would you start from scratch? Why wouldn't you just build on previous designs that already work? Its just like engineering cars. Every time we make a new car, we don't reinvent another engine, we add onto the existing design. You make a new bird to fit the living environment of the plains rather than the forest. It makes logical sense.
