    I'm a big fan of John de Lancie just for his performance of Q. Didn't know that he's also an accomplished opera director, and a fellow humanist! Thank you for this great interview video!

      According to Wikipaedia, his father, John De Lancie Sr. was an oboe player for the Philadelphia Orchestra for many years.

      AGREED. This guy is so unlike his "Q" character, for a moment there I totally forgot he was only acting!!

    The case is "Kitzmiller v. Dover Area School District."
    John de Lancie is a helluva great guy. I met him when I was just a kid, in a Shakespeare theater in Connecticut. Smart as hell and a true gentleman. So glad to see he gained the success he deserves.

    Thank you, Mr. de Lancie, for showing that being secular can be a positive thing.

    John de Lancie always brings something of value to the secular table, every time he speaks. Thank you for this!

    I had a passing exchange of hellos with John de Lancie once that, in one simple smile, left me feeling like he was a legit human. It's a small thing, but it fueled my interest in knowing what he has to say.

      I can say the same. Brief encounter at a Star Trek convention

    I would love to watch John de Lancie's play on the trial. John's abilities to clearly communicate ideas and concerns are priceless. 🌸

    Intelligent Design is nothing more than a "God of the gaps" position. Gaps in knowledge always narrows over time.

    It is sad that there is barely 2,000 views on this. The brilliant words of John de Lancie said in his Graduation Speech should be heard by all!

      You tube pushes superstition and conspiracies consistently.
      It’s a long running pattern that has nothing to do with algorithms

    It's amazing listening to "Q" (and not the stupid Q of todays real world) being a humanist/secularist. I love it

    John de Lancie is a great actor. My favorite roles he played are Q on Star Trek and Jonas Christoff Bartok on Legend

    It appears that religious thinking asks us to turn off our own logic ... and it's like a muscle, once turned off it's very difficult to restart when logic is needed. That's my main complaint against organized religion. And today's politics prove my point.

    Intelligent Design; It’s just another religion, it shouldn't be confused with actual reality.
    *Sapient Wisdom* If science disappeared from human memory, we would soon be living in caves again. If theology disappeared from human memory, no one would notice.

      We would notice an improvement with less bigotry and hatred, less violence, more peace, and more rapid progress in science and knowledge.

    The "creation" business, in the bible, is the result of a mistranslation of the Hebrew word "bara." "Bara" originally meant to divide, to separate, to cut apart, and to renew. Genesis one is about the separation of the year into light and darkness (Persian/Sumerian/Egyptian influence). The six "days" are the six months/light when the sun appears to be in the northern hemisphere and the six nights are the six months/darkness when the sun appears to be in the southern hemisphere. Every story, in the bible,is keyed to Ptolemaic astronomy and the mazzaroth, where the earth is the unmoving center of the universe. For instance, the word "up" is always the apparent movement of the sun from the winter solstic to the summer solstice, and the word "down" is always the apparent movement of the sun from the summer solstice to the winter solstice.

    This court case was so much like the Scopes Trial, that it was positively EERIE, like history repeating itself... again. I particularly liked what de Lancie said about, "Stay in your own lane!" Although this is (still) a free country, this issue amounted to pure Creationism, by any other name. Although I fully support Freedom of Religion, attempting to equate "science" with Biblical lore is pure poppycock, and although I can even view life itself as a "miracle," to view it from the Christian perspective (ala, "Adam and Eve"), has as much to do with 'science' as rap is to classical music.

    Is this show intentionally designed to resemble creaky old religious shows from the 90s? The music... the set... remind me of things I'd watch on VISN (when I was still involved with Christianity).

    • @vbachman6742
      @vbachman6742 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Agree it's creaky (boring) but the music is wonderfully tongue in cheek. I love it.

    I downloaded the decision (138 pages of it) and it starts with the school district's requirement that teacher read a statement. As usual, it has the evangelical definition of a theory, not the science definition, which is, unsurprisingly, completely disingenuous.

      Can you look at the world now as it is and say that we are better off?
