Denton meets Dawkins (1/3)

Richard Dawkins is the essence of scientific reason, an evolutionary biologist, a best-selling author, and strident atheist. He's been declared one of the most influential - and provocative - thinkers of our time. He's Denton's guest in the last episode of his series "Elders with Andrew Denton".

@bobbycathey

One last thing. I am going to give you some evidence of a higher power beings for you to look at: Get the movie "The Entity" DVD and watch the extra feature "The Entity File" where Dr. Barry Taff gave his version of what he saw. Here are two videos of his team:

Watch this Google video: 5406487197364769612

If you spout non-sense back you're going to hear the same thing.

Chill out.

@bobbycathey The glacier did not happened in central america or south asia and north africa, did it? There is no reason why there aren't any million year old tree at all.

Trees 20k years ago have been decayed and pressurized into coal? Really? 20k years mean this coal is about a foot underground. Do we get them from large jungles? We have been digging 100s and thousands of feet underground. They are billions of year old. You're finding excuses and spouting none sense.

@MrDts2000 I have some weird definitions? Maybe you should tell that to the greeks, the people who invented that word, and gave it a meaning. And I totally agree, its really annoying talking to a moron, it must be sad being one. I cant imagine.

[MrDts2000]

@DJMAGPUFF You do have some weird definition. The evidence we're talking about. I must leave you alone because I can't tolerate conversation with moron. Good bye.

[DJMAGPUFF]

@MrDts2000 Evidence of what? That the earth is only 10.000 years old? That god exist? there is a heaven and hell?

By definition, idiot means a person who are not participating, if thats what you mean by "Careless people" then yes, they would obviously be idiots. But by not participating and taking full advantage of life, and the evidence provided by scientist, because they are bound up by their beliefs, those people are idiots, by definition.

[MrDts2000]

@DJMAGPUFF Hey, the experts have the evidence and they agree with the professor. A smart man would want to know and will find any clue to the truth. Careless People are idiots, don't you think?

[DJMAGPUFF]

@MrDts2000 Look, obviously you don't get sarcasm. Truth is I couldnt care less of the afterlife. Ofcourse it would be nice to know whats going to happen, but nobody knows for certain, not even your professor Storm. I dont believe in superstision, i believe in reason, based on evidence. I dont even believe there is an afterlife.

[MrDts2000]

@DJMAGPUFF According to professor Storm (v=8vj0qKthCgg), you don't get shit. Instead, you get torment. Professor Storm is an intelligent man and he had had a good observation of what's like in the afterlife and he knows what he's talking about. You don't have any evidence or clue of what you will be getting but he does. If you want hot girls you might have to be a believer.

[DJMAGPUFF]

@MrDts2000 EXACTLY!! lots of bbq, beers, hot girls, and ipads. What do you get?

[MrThor4u]

@Awake4Truth Tell him the truth. I think he's afraid of the truth.

[MrDts2000]

@DJMAGPUFF What do you get from believing in science?  BBQ or ipad5 in the afterlife?

[DJMAGPUFF]

@Awake4Truth Trust me, I am born and raised in a christian house, two of my grandparents were priests, now my uncle is too aswell. But I realized the lack of evidence were just astonishing, there is no evidence, no reason to actually believe in God and christianity, except for the fact that people are too afraid of the thought of them being alone and not have a purpose. I chose to believe in science, because i chose to be rational, and i chose to reason over superstition.
