Neil DeGrasse Tyson wishes Richard Dawkins a Happy 80th Birthday

[@LazarheaD]

Happy birthday to the creator of memes and a sober atheist mind that has inspired me so.

[@detectordegados5292]

@ZK Tay he is the creator of the expression "meme"

[@MarcPlaAguilera]

@ZK Tay A mneme and a meme are different things.

[@2fast2block]

You are so empty like these empty people. Richard Dawkins teaches the universe came from "literally nothing." Real science says nothing does nothing. Real science says if there was something there already it must fit with the evidence of what we know. We know the 1LT says there's a conservation of energy. It can change forms and neither can be created or destroyed. Creation cannot happen by natural means. The 2LT has various aspects, one being the universe is winding down, entropy. Usable energy is becoming less usable, so at one point usable energy was at its max. This all points to a supernatural creation, by a supernatural creator at a certain point in which matter, space and time were created. When I read how it can happen otherwise, ALL the fools resort to science-fiction. Once a supernatural creation is accepted, then the next step is finding proof of what supernatural power did it. We can't get anything from "literally nothing." We can't even get science without God. The laws of nature only can come from a Lawgiver, God.

[@NomadUrpagi]

Which memes?

[@jeffjones6951]

@@NomadUrpagi Dawkins coined the term "meme" in his 1976 book "The Selfish Gene." Any unit of information that is passed on (like a gene) from one to another. Like the shoe-tying meme we learn at age 4 from our moms. The current internet craze for these silly pics with phrases is somewhat of a highjacking of the term. Similar to the perversion of "game theory."

Happy late birthday Richard! May you live another 20 years. Thank you for your current and continued contribution to science and reason.

@ZK Tay Okay?

[@2fast2block]

He cares little about science. Richard Dawkins teaches the universe came from "literally nothing." Real science says nothing does nothing. Real science says if there was something there already it must fit with the evidence of what we know. We know the 1LT says there's a conservation of energy. It can change forms and neither can be created or destroyed. Creation cannot happen by natural means. The 2LT has various aspects, one being the universe is winding down, entropy. Usable energy is becoming less usable, so at one point usable energy was at its max. This all points to a supernatural creation, by a supernatural creator at a certain point in which matter, space and time were created. When I read how it can happen otherwise, ALL the fools resort to science-fiction. Once a supernatural creation is accepted, then the next step is finding proof of what supernatural power did it. We can't get anything from "literally nothing." We can't even get science without God. The laws of nature only can come from a Lawgiver, God.

[@therealzilch]

@@2fast2block Why should I listen to you? I've heard your answer hundreds of times. It does not explain the existence of anything at all (Universe, laws of nature, gods, etc) but merely says "let's say that a God just happened to be around the whole time and go from there". I don't pretend to explain why there is anything at all, but I don't see how making up a being who bumpstarts the whole thing is any more of an explanation, and it's very, perhaps infinitely, more complex than just saying "our Universe with its laws somehow exists". Being that I see no evidence of any gods, I'll go with Ockham and stick with my far simpler worldview, until I see evidence to the contrary. But I don't really care what people believe, as long as they behave nicely. Cheers from overcast Vienna, Scott

Happy B-day, Richard Dawkins! Love your books! :)

[@freesk8]

@ZK Tay All of the design, purpose, goodness, love and compassion will have to come from us, then. :)

[@freesk8]

@ZK Tay My guess is that if you choose to live that way, it will not lead to your own happiness, nor to those around you. But good luck with that! :)

[@freesk8]

@ZK Tay I'm an atheist, and love Dawkins. And atheists can believe in goodness. It just depends on our assumptions. Just as Euclid built a system of geometry based on basic assumptions about lines and points, we may also build a system of morality upon some basic assumptions. You don't have to accept those assumptions, but once you do, a system of morality emerges via logic. Here are two assumptions you could start with if you like. Just two among many: 1) It is never OK to make the first use of force, or threat of force, against an otherwise peaceful person. This is called the nonaggression principle. 2) Each individual adult is the proper owner of their own body, and life. Socialists don't assume this, of course. They tend to assume that the collective or the state owns their bodies. But that's up to them! :)

[@freesk8]

@ZK Tay I also tend to assume that a person is more valuable than an insect or worm. I do the thought experiment where I can only save the life of one individual common insect or one individual person. I would pick the person every time. Works for all squirrels and birds, too. Gets a little harder when I get up to apes and dolphins, but I pick the person then, too. Some people don't agree with my choices, but the thought experiment is good for revealing your own values. What do you think of the person who would save the squirrel instead of the person? I tend to think they are bonkers, don't you?

[@freesk8]

@ZK Tay Your life is a gift from God, right? So you own it. It is yours. God has made you "sufficient to stand, but free to fall." He hopes you will not sin, but has made you capable of sin. Ever hear of Natural Rights? Also known as "God-given rights." These are life, liberty and property. They are also a direct logical result of assuming your body is yours. They come before governments, and not from them. Sounds pretty conservative coming from an atheist, no? You see, we atheists can come to a very similar place as you Christians, just by choosing the right starting assumptions.
