Research will carry you far, my friends. In the meantime, no good is achieved by knowingly lying and twisting facts... kids may watch this and believe that people actually believe what the scientist characters are saying. I can promise you, no scientist believes in such a way. Learn the difference between DEductive and INductive study.

reaaallly? Okay -- please show me one naturalistic scientist who does NOT believe in abiogensis. There is not a single "untruth" in this video.

Would welcome an IM chat As would I.

I dissagree on a) and b), and to some degree c)

a) objective morality: morality is a function of what you are taught, the effect of your experiences, and your co-operative instinct. While the first two factors are widely variable, the natural co-operative instict or your consience is hardwired into the brain and is more or less universal to all human beings, with the exception of phycopaths.

Atheism should not be associated with moral relativism, irrationality (I would have hoped the opposite), and violence towards lab assistants. While some atheists may share one or more of these qualities, this relationship is independent of their being atheists.

Magikos:

I would argue that there are at least three things that naturalism (the philosophy of atheism) has no answer. Naturalism is void of a) objective morality. b) meaning in life c) hope for after the grave. All these things experience shows are essential for humans to have. I've spoken with a lot of atheists through the years. From all the testimonies I've heard, there are very very few atheists left on their death bed. Would welcome an IM chat with you.

This is sickening! A travesty. Roddenberry would turn in his grave. Is this religion? Spitting on someone elses ideas? This is why people start to hate christians.

[SeekerLancer]

TNG shied away from attacking religion after Roddenberry died though, whereas ToS, despite being campy and usually scientifically ridiculous, was almost evangelically atheist.

There's even a few times in ToS when not only is the allegory of the episode taking a shot at religion but the characters themselves reference the bible as ancient myths. It always brings a smile to my face that something like that made it onto TV in the 60's, but it depresses me that it probably wouldn't now.

clearly this video is fake. They always send a redshirt down with them.

[elwyn5150]

Morality lessons, without a guy in a red shirt dying on the whim of a omnipotent being, are worthless.

[notfarfromhome]

Dude! Seriously, what the fuck is wrong with this picture. The creationist are outright misconstruing the facts! Seriously, is this video going to lead people to a better understanding of humanity and it's complex history by employing misinformation? Religion is truly the opium of the people!

funny

[dimichi13]

wtf

[CalicoVall]

As Captain Kirk once said, " What does God need with a starship?"

[HitodamaKyrie]

I can't even finish this crap. Moving on.

[neomysterio]

My type of planet.

[ScienceReasonBelief]

silly.

5) the belief that you need the bible to tell you right from wrong is ludicrous. We've all developed instinctual behaviors arising from the fact that certtain principles in a society allow that society to be more successful. If not believing in god made you a bad person then there would be hundreds of millions of murderers and rapists laying waste to the world.....and their wouldnt be religious people molesting altar boys.
