Uploader: Couldn't you have split this video up into even more, smaller parts? 2 minutes each is WAY too long!!!

God, if it exists it would have no intelligece. Inteligence doesn't mean anything except to people. Intelligence is just a way to describe a things potential. Aquinas says God has no potential, he is pure actuality.

Indeed, Daniel is the only one who is actually a genius, a problem solver and a thinker. Others say and keep repeating the same things. I have little interest in what the other three have to say, because chances are, I already know what they're going to say.

@PaGaNM0nK Yes Dennett is a fine philosopher. He also has spend time studying science, to not only study neurology and the brain but also to learn more about evolution. Dennett's book on religion takes a very objective view of religion, he thinks that it's a product of evolution & that it can be studied & explained. Whether you agree with Dennet or not, it's hard not to like him. His book on religion contrast sharply with Hitchens & Harris who take a much more aggressive approach to religion.

some people argue that this man is the worst of the four horsemen... but anyone who has read his work should know quite the contrary

Actually, you know. They should really try that. take the florensesis bones and magnify all the DNA they can find and try to sequence as much as possible and compare, much like the T. rex genome project

Subspecies, sister taxa.
These are widely seen phenomenon. When K selected species like hominids get onto a tiny island, they just might experience island dwarfism with such a quantitative shift that from skeletons they would seem to be distinct.
There's really no evidence and it certainly wouldn't be unprecidented that if floresiensis could have interbred with homo sapiens, if not actually just being a subset.
I don't know. Maybe they can recover some DNA
This guy is my hero.

Hehehe, such a pretty comment you make. It almost sounds like you're trying to hard to earn people's hate.
