The Genius Of Charles Darwin - Part 3 - God Strikes Back

Join me on facebook http://www.facebook.com/pages/TheScienceFoundation/277697568961708

In the third and final episode, Dawkins explains why Darwin's theory is one of history's most controversial ideas.

Dawkins uses this episode to discuss the opposition that evolution has experienced since it was first discovered. He starts by approaching various anti-evolutionists, ranging from John Mackay from Creation Research, Wendy Wright, President of Concerned Women for America, to English school teacher Nick Cowen. In order to address concerns they bring up, he shows the evidence for evolution, including fossil and DNA evidence. He also talks to the teachers of the science students who he taught during the first episode, asking them why they aren't adequately teaching the ideas of science properly, allowing instead their students to believe that truth is personal and that science is merely a point of view.

Dawkins also describes Darwin's personal journey from Christianity to atheism, based not only on the natural mechanisms he saw, but also on the cruelty in the world which seemed to deny a loving God, in particular the loss of his daughter Annie.

@Chuichupachichi Now that I've dealt with your issues, please address mine.

Explain to us the principle by which your god can be asserted to be uncreated. Also, why that principle cannot be applied to the universe.

Beyond its postulated existence itself, explain to us how you can claim to know anything in particular about this creator, particularly if, as you claim, it exists outside the universe, and therefore your competent sphere of experience.

I don't think this Wendy Wright is, as they say, "all there."

The dude in 18:00 does not deserves to be wearing a t-shirt with Maxwell's equations.

4:42 ..."Darwin never criticized religion directly in public... instead he let his science do the talking..." something we, the ones that know that evolution is a fact will have to start doing, and never respond in the way we're being criticized by religious people in public. This is a war against culture and tradition, and this concept is natural selection itself, of those who can see a bigger truth, or maybe the biggest truth known to man.
