After listening to these to incredibly smart men talk how could anyone buy that creationist bullshit.

[ananiasacts]

Nah, I'm just making fun of the extreme ignorance and stupidity of the religious perspective. Arguing about whether there is enough evidence to believe in evolution is like doubting the validity of addition because we haven't checked that every two numbers have a sum. Only someone too stubborn to be objective could harbor any doubt. And the religious people are only doubtful because their leadership is deliberately trying to confuse and obfuscate the truth with their usual flair for fraud.

@tnafguy only medical doc that believes in evolution? HAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[bellyzbad]

@tibyv8 true and it would be kl to have wings

@ananiasacts Oh yeh lol. Can't say i agree with you on that one though. The resurrection is fundamental within the christian belief. Im pretty sure George still believes in the judah christian god. Certainly not an atheist, thats exactly what hes arguing against

[ananiasacts]

@sned10000, I did watch it, years ago and favorited it, as well as created a playlist for all of the parts on my channel. George never does explain how he reconciles faith in the few things he still believes in (like the resurrection) after writing off most of the other magic (like miracles) as nonsense. I got the feeling from the way he said it is that he believes it because it's part of his job description. I honestly think he's an atheist, or at least a deist.

[sned10000]

@ananiasacts What many christians believe, is that god created a world that creates itself. (A much more eloquent Explanation than Creationism, in my opinion) If you havn't already, you should watch Dawkins Vs George coyne. search it on youtube. He explains how one might still believe in a god. Fascinating debate

[ananiasacts]

@sned10000, then why do they continue to believe in god if they realize it has nothing to do with our existence?

[sned10000]

@ananiasacts Many religious people believe in evolution.
