Richard Dawkins with Brian Greene

[@nyreekrikorian]

I told my 6-year-old inquiring son, "Those who believe in Santa Claus have more fun at Christmas than those who don't." He chose to continue to believe in Santa for another year. I always encouraged him to be skeptical. He came to me with a huge smile one morning when he was 8 saying he proved his theory that there is no tooth fairy. I asked him what he was talking about. He said his hypothesis (his words, not mine) was that there is no tooth fairy, so he didn't tell me or his dad that he had lost a tooth at dinner, and when he woke up the tooth was still under his pillow. I couldn't have been more proud of my little scientist.

Dawkins does not give the most succinct answer against existence of "god" or the "ultimate" creator which is that the concept of an ultimate creator leads us into an absurdity. After all if there HAS to be a "creator" then how can there be an ultimate creator without there being a creator of the ultimate creator ad absurdum.

[@markmcarthur5090]

Where my thinking differs from yours is that I would say everything is caused by something (I expect this is something we agree on), and that goes back and back and would be going back infinitely (ie the problem where each creator needs his own creator who needs his own creator...) unless something didn't have a creator. Now, for something to exist without being created, it'd have to be pretty powerful. I would say that something is God, you may not, but that's more a topic for other arguments.

[@McJaews]

Braff Zackland I think Dawkins is one of the least krass and bully-like militant atheists there is. Many atheists have a tendency to get frustrated and angry because they are met with counter arguments that are irrational to them. Like having a conversation with someone about football, and the other person constantly talking about how their team is the best because they have a little flying ball in their hearts. Dawkins is met by an incredible load of irrational bs every day because of his position as a known person who is against something that people can't justify through the same means as he has been using to justify everything he's ever formed an opinion on. it's natural for a man in his position to sound annoyed, but he's saint-like in his very polite explanations.

So if the "Black Cloud" did have to answers to the deep questions it would make sense that humans could not comprehend the answers it would be like telling a human to build something that can do thing that we can not even think about. I don't even know if a human can build something that can work on the level a human can so why would anyone thing that if there were a creator the creator would be able build something just as intelligent as the creator was him self. If you go back and say that everything came from nothing again we would not be able to understand how something works in an environment that has nothing so if something was working in this environment of nothing and started this whole evolutionary process we would still not be able to understand how something works in an environment that has nothing. It would however still be very satisfying because if you were able to trace all the way back to the beginnings of everything and you were able to understand how things came to be then you would be able to do anything you wanted in the lifetime of this universe. To me it would be unsatisfying to learn or understand to "deep questions" because know you would be working in a whole new environment and would essentially have to start all the way back to the beginning and you would have to learn everything about how this new environment came to be.

The concept of time (rotation and revolution of the planets) alone is good enough to tell us that creation did not happen by chance. While it is sensible to refute the existence of a creator based on the Abrahamic religions, it is not wise to leave it there. In studying the systems of philosophy, it is necessary that the mind adopt a discipline of impartiality and sobriety. It must then be raised to an exalted mental condition through the process of reasoning.

we have to look beyond our time understanding, for time is a measurement of cycles of movement ...everything occurred spontainiously and yet they have never occurred at all. for example, if you used a film camera and recorded action then cut all the film segments up and laid them all in front of you, you will see all action at once. if you played the film on the screen one at a time at a certain speed, you will see action over time. now, if you did all that beyond the speed of light, it would be too fast to acknowledge what has occurred. so everything exists yet they don't and so it is with god

[@Akoalawithshades]

By your logic couldn't that also mean the universe could have always existed, for if only time and space exists in the universe while the universe itself has no such restrictions, evidence to that point is the fact that the universe expanded faster than the speed of light at its beginning, and I believe, as latest research suggests, it is still doing so. Thus no need for a God.

The idea that "the gene is the unit of selection", the idea that "the individual is the tool of the gene", the idea that "the body is the machine for passing on the genes that created it" - books like "The Selfish Gene", "The Blind Watchmaker. These are fictions that made Dawkins famous. He essentially substituted "God" for the "Gene". Fame does mean that he is true. Real solid current science backed by evidence and fact is now gradually undermining Dawkins' grand unsubstantiated speculations and instead pointing to a far more complex reality than Dawkins wants us to believe. The genome is probably more like the hard drive in a computer - full of data that is stored, and then used and processed by other controlling functions that we as yet don't fully understand, and perhaps never will. Dawkins insists that Darwin solved "the big one", that it really is "terribly simple". That is infantile, wishful thinking. Nothing in the universe is intellectually simple. Look at physics - dealing with inert DEAD matter. That should be dead simple, right? Not so, the further phycisists dive into smaller and smaller particles the stranger it gets. Why would biology be simpler? Key quotes from Dawkins regarding what he expressed in his book “The Selfish Gene”: “It’s I suppose my most original contribution.” “It’s not really a testable hypothesis, it’s just a different way of looking at what is already familiar”. - So in other words pure conjecture, to put it bluntly. How is that even better than religion?

"Which God?" : You know what? God is not matter and cannot be pointed to. Right?

6:22 mins of Dawkins, had enough! still is naive...

I would take your bet but I believe gambling promotes sinful behavior. You couldn't pay up from the lake of fire. I will pray for you chaps but do believe if you can't see how obvious God is our creator and Jesus was God himself and died for my sins and yours too, God help you and you have been warned.

You are gambling on the bet that your god is the right one. Of course, if he is not, then you will end up in another god's hell. Pascal's wager is the ultimate gamble for the mentally poor. It costs your life and is unlikely to return a jackpot even under the best of circumstances. :-)

I really don't understand the "greatness" of Dawkins mentioned so many times by lot's of people. He sounds to me like an absolute beginner in philosophy. Not once a great, unique insight what so ever. Take away his English accent and slow speech and you end up with nothing interesting 🤔

It's ok, you know better.

Understanding requires edication.

[@Drifter4ever]

@@zeenyuhrass well, then I guess you start as soon as possible.

[@zeenyuhrass]

@@Drifter4ever Don't worry "edication" is what you need.

Blah blahblah and grow up. Or don’t, your choice but keep your drivel to yourself

[@judyives1832]

Why are you preaching at us? Do you think we haven’t heard all of that before? Selected parts of the Bible is inflicted on most children in Sunday schools etc. and it’s readily available for anyone to read. But if you read it and still believe it’s a “good” book, then there is something wrong with you. The hatred of other nationalities, hatred of women, abuse of children, genocides, avocation of slavery etc. Is very distressing. Cherry picking a few nicer passages does not excuse the horrible and disgusting parts. Thank goodness it’s just old stories and not relevant in our time.

[@markotaylor9894]

You want me to cherry pick the horrible parts of that shit book you are quoting? It's gonna be a long post 😆
