Dr. David Berlinski: Math and Darwinian Evolution (Part 2)

The producers of the critically-acclaimed documentary "Icons of Evolution" sat down for an interview with Dr. Berlinski. This is a clip from that interview.

David Berlinski was raised in New York City, educated at Columbia College and recieved his Ph.D in philosophy from Princeton University. He later became a Fellow of the Faculty in Mathematics and a Post Doctoral Fellow in molecular biology at Columbia University.

@water2gashawaii First off, by saying that Hitler "believed" in evolution is one sign he didn't have a fucking clue about it. Secondly, as with a lot of Germans as well, Hitler's Anti-Semitism ultimately came from the paeloconservative brand of Christianity that preached the Jews were bad because they killed Jesus, and that concept predates Charles Darwin himself by centuries. The fact that people would resort to using the Holocaust to discredit Charles Darwin is just bullshit.

@TaimaDjinn Hitler believed in evolution and also in the Arian race as the superior race, and that Jews were inferior. This mentality was in fact one that led to the holocaust.

@Califacience This happens every time a math teacher tries to do Biology.

Mr. Butinski is paid by the Discovery Institure to ''argue evololution down''

@Califacience we are right to be clueless about berlinskis views since all he does is sneer from the sidelines- he has no positive views about anything. he's made no contribution of any kind to any branch of any science and does nothing more waffle vacuously while lying about his areas of expertise, lying about non existent work with great mathematicians and lying about the views of other mathematicians etc. when asked a question about his own views by hitchins his evasion was pathetic. zombie??

@Califacience Excuse me, this same asshole argued that "Darwinism" helped influence the Holocaust in Germany during World War 2 in the conservative porn documentary "Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed."

@TaimaDjinn

Berlinski does not believe that intelligent design is a scientific theory either. Why the heck is almost every critic of Berlinki on these videos completely clueless about what he is even arguing, not to mention what he believes.. I wonder whether most of you people even care about science that isn't related to an attempts to "argue down God", or are you all just zombie followers of Chris Hichens and Richard Dawkins..

you are wrong.
