"I don't accept any of your explanation about the eyes being evolved, they were created perfect. Now let me put on these glasses and read you an email" 🤣
Mr. Richard Dawkins is in error because evolution is not an argument against God's existence because the entire process until humans time proves the existence of God, *the results of a process proving the intelligence involved into that process* (and because *from no intelligence involved, no intelligence comes).* Furthermore, the conventional biological evolution is hiding the facts about Satan and the other fallen angels who, according to the "Parable of the weeds", have altered this world, the DNA... (making the carnivores, the parasites, the viruses, bad bacteria etc....) to sustain the useless suffering while, initially, all insects, animals etc. were feeding only with plants (plants products, such as fruits, nectar, seeds etc.). The fallen angels, being sadistic, have altered the DNA of most living things (including us) to do as default both: reproduce uncontrollably (as much as they can) and fight (kill) each other. Unfortunately, they love to see living things suffering, especially human beings suffering. They want to destroy us since our physical body conception (all the time in any way possible). That is why they make us suffer, as much as possible, by using our stupidity and the stupidity of the other people around us.
Which indicates that Dawkins more of an honest person. Because when Dawkins was giving a detailed explanation of the evolution of the eye. The interviewer sat there nodding and pretending to listen, for him to only admit “my mind went to genesis.” At least Dawkins didn’t bother to pretend to listen.
same here, he seems honest and genuine, he probably never learned how to think critically about anything. you can easily see him beeing taken in by all kinds of scammers and con artists. religion strives on people like him.
But he's not a simple man. He knows 1000x more than the people who lived when Jesus lived and therefore can use logic and basic scientific method (hypothesis, blind test, repeatable?) to test christianity. One doesn't need to be a scientist to see that christianity is just 1 of 1,000 man made religions
To be fair, he said that he endeavoured to do a lot of preparation but the family tragedy prevented him doing so. It’s clear that the presenter is a good and decent man, but this interview should never have happened for either party really. Revelation TV were completely out of their depth with Dawkins, and Dawkins doesn't need to be talking to people like these.
Yea but this old man is just lost in delusion and his question about waiting millions of years before we were able to use the toilet omg@@bennyhillschineseblokechar3689
This man is hopelessly brainwashed. And he doesn't know it. He genuinely believes what he is saying. He is polite, tries to convince with what he has. Richard is in a tough spot and he was patient because his interviewer was not interviewing in bad faith arguments (😊)
Two old men, one so scared of death he searches for hope in a book, the other living the best live reading all other books. I sure know wich one i wanna be when i gow old.
When Richard asks what he thought of his explanation and he says “when you were explaining my mind went to the book of genesis”. This is how religion corrupts your mind.
The first time I read the Bible cover to cover I realized it couldn't possibly be the word of the Christian God. So I read it twice more and studied it a great deal. After that I jettisoned all the faith I'd had in Christianity. I felt free for the first time in my life, and had no more fear of death.
Me, too!!! I heard an atheist who said most believers woupd be shocked at what the Bible actually says. I was a believer and after reading the first few old test books, I genuinely hated god.
When the interviewer says on a number of occasions he’s a simple man is a gross understatement, the eye’s perfection yet he needs glasses to read the emails 😂😂😂
People like this interviewer want to appear humble but they are in fact incredibly arrogant. Imagine having the nerve to take on Dawkins with the evolution of the eye and then dismiss his perfect explanation without any good reasons. What he should have said was that those were very good points that he obviously needed time to think more deeply about.
¨...and this electrical force went into my back, the bastards had wired me up to the mains¨ I absolutely howl myself stupid watching this guy. He tries so hard but he has nothing. Classic.
I love this interview because it's so iconic of how young earth creationists seem to think. They ask a question they think is a "gotcha" question, and then when they get an answer their eyes glaze over and after the explanation is over, it looks like they literally wake up and then completely ignore everything that's been said. Like this guy does after the bit about eyes. "Oh, sorry, I was thinking about Genesis there for a bit." or whatever he says. And Richards face goes darker and darker red
I think they have hard time analysing and when an explanation is offered it becomes too much as they're used to accepting anything without question. It's like middle America; they need simplicity and no conversation should be more than one possibly two sentences. They just don't analyse because of they did...
I don't understand all the negative comments. The point of a conversation is to have different views, even when we sympathize with one more than the other. I don't believe in the book of genesis but thank you for this civilized interaction. I hope you make a lot more interviews.
I think Dawkins was being incredibly patient and kind because of this mans recent loss. None the less, it was interesting and I think his ramblings speak volumes.
lol. I was having a similar talk with someone at work and he proclaimed that without god, life wasn't worth living! You see they believe it is their faith that makes their life good, and that they need it to be happy. If they see you don't have faith and are still happy, this is proof one does not need faith to be happy. They can't accept this, so they simply convince themselves that your not actually happy. Look up cognitive dissonance theory.
What a delightful interview. Mr Dawkins often knowingly goes into interviews with people who publicly disagree with them and they usually go out of their way to make him look like a douchebag (see FOX). This was polite, considerate, and inquisitive.
Conder is deranged. I admire the Professor so much for having the patience to speak to this dim wit in such a calm and reasonable fashion. And not the tiniest bit condescending.
@@topologyrob That's actually the definition of delusion, experiencing something is a matter of the senses that can be tricked, actually believing they were true is a delusion
I was indoctrinated into Christianity. Indoctrination is a powerful drug, and should never be underestimated.. Dawkins brought me out of my delusion 2yrs ago. I respect him immensely 🥰
That last line of Dawkins - “I’d be happy to receive an invitation” (as distinct from “I’d be happy to come back and engage further”) - is absolutely classic!!
@@mikechase1141 He does seem like a nice guy but it is interesting that he could reach such a mature age and find himself so ill-equipped of contrary views to his own. His question about how man took a leak if they were waiting for their penis to evolve is a good example.
It's not simply a matter of IQ. Lots of highly intelligent people are theists. Belief starts in the subconscious mind beyond conscious control and once a person has a belief there are psychological processes that resist shaking it; such as confirmation bias and cognitive dissonance. Lots of atheists were once believers.
This was an absolutely delightful video to watch. It is a different style from the usual way this topic is talked about. Not aggressive or AS closed minded as they usually are. Nice to see a creationist talk to Richard instead of patronise or get angry through fear of someone efficiently challenging their beliefs I loved it. Not a big fan of creationism, but at least he's not a dick!
Interesting the strategies used by the interviewer to remain 'unconvinced' 1. Start asking another question before taking on board and responding to the detailed argument presented by Richard...so it is never concluded 2. The 'I'm a simple man' response to justify why he doesn't understand what's just been explained in great detail 3. The 'Your answer MUST be compatible with MY understanding of the Bible - otherwise I won't believe it' response. 4. Call on the expertise of unnamed 'Bible scholars' to make a case - but cannot identify who they are. If anyone regards the Bible as a trustworthy source of information, I suggest watching some of the videos by Dr Bart Ehrman.
I find it so depressing that Dawkins gives a beautiful description of the evolution of the eye, better than any piece of fiction you could write and this interviewer dismisses it all by saying that would take too long.
a woman at my workplace was having a religion vs athiesm argument with me and she concluded that atheists arent happy. period. if i said otherwise she laughed and walked away.
Maybe it is she who is not happy if she needs such phycological cushions. It literally is a waste of time having conversations with them. In time, as we all increasingly understand human psychology with all its phycological needs, such thinking will become less and less. At my workplace there were two black women from surprise, surprise, Africa, who were pleasant and lovely, but who were trying to lead me into their belief system by again speaking in delusional childlike ways. I said that all religions, like all Gods, are man made constructs for those who pathologically cannot accept reality. They couldn't continue probably because they hadn't thought of it that way and this is what happens; little of what is real and proven is allowed. I went to an Irish school that would promote Catholicism and as a child I would look at these teachers and think how could they believe such fantasies? They never present evidence/proof as they're literally unable to and because they were religious they were vicious if anyone questioned them as it would make them question their beliefs so I would naturally stay quiet. We see how dangerous such minds are today especially in USA and how the religious, right wing mind must have everything its way or else. But thinking doesn't come into it. It is forced into generation after generation to such an extent that they are hypnotised.
I liked his little story about electricity going through his body. He obviously doesn’t understand, static electricity. In that part of the world, they have very violent storms, where the air is, Highley charged with static electricity. If he was wearing nylon clothes, he would’ve been a magnet for it.
The guy said "Jesus was before he came to be on earth"...that means that he knew he was going to be put to death to save us for our sins yet while on the cross he asked god "why has thy forsaken the?" HMMMMMMMMM
People have been changing things, plants and animals over the past hundreds of years, especially the last fifty years with plants. GMOs have changed our plants hundreds of times already regardless of whether we want them to be changed or not. Our dogs all came from the good old wolf, even the poodle. That's not hard to see. Who knows what they'll turn into in a thousand years or a million. If you can't see these things changing before your very eyes, you need very strong glasses.
33:28 "And we held hands and this electrical power came out from my torso, down my arms and into this person. And this person jumped back and exclaimed, "what was that?!" And I said, "Shut up! That was nothing, OK?!?!?" I wasn't gonna have any nonsense!" LMAO!!
If you are lifelong-invested and hopelessly embedded in particular Christian dogma, of which there are countless varieties, there is zero hope that rational debate can e😅nsue. Case in point here.
In this country you have the absolute right to your religious beliefs in your heart and mind in your home,church,synagogues,mosques,temples,private religious schools and your social gatherings. The First Amendment of the United States Constitution guarantees that right. It’s when delusional fanatics start trying to make their religious beliefs and views the law of the land. That’s why people with skeptical rational thinking will not tolerate religious laws being made.We aim to in force the First Amendment and keep Church And State Separate!
Interviewer (after giving an interminable and rambling anecdote about electricity shooting out of his body): How do you explain that? Am I deluded? Dawkins: Probably, yes. 😂
I love Richard's facial expression while the interviewer was telling about his experience with the holy ghost or whatever. I would have the same expression of incredulity in my face...🤭. As much as one is willing to be respectful, one can't help it!
Dawkins says “The light has to penetrate this forest of nerves” “Any sensible designer would have had the nerves behind the light sensitive cells” he calls this a “fundamental design flaw” - Really? The inverted eye filters out most of the UV light. The light travels through the nerves etc which filters it. The octopus does not need this filter since it lives under water where most of the UV light is filtered out. Besides, the inverted eye creates the sharpest image of any other kind.
@investinottawa I know, the worst bit is when he drones on with his anecdote somewhere in the middle. I feel like yelling "HURRY THE FUCK UP OLD MAN!!"
The first "prophecy" in the Bible is when God told Adam that he would die "in the day" that he ate the forbidden fruit. Adam did not die until centuries later, so God's prophecy was a false prophecy.
Jesus, it’s no wonder Prof Dawkins had a stroke. Imagine being the frontman of the atheist movement and forced to deal with this all day. It’s ironic that Richard shows more “Christian” values when he discusses ideas with people. He is a smart guy, could have just made money from books and done nothing but he is trying to educate people in the truth for almost 50 years now.
A question I would love to ask Mr. Dawkins is this: I understand his argument that one percent of an eye is better than no eye. Sure that could evolve/improve over time. But what about sex organs? Wouldn’t a sex organ be completely dysfunctional at 1%? How could any living things have sustained their family line before their sex organs were 100% functional?
Yep, and the only thing that can lengthen our lives, make us as "immortal" as possible, is science. Not praying to an invisible, magic man in the sky like they did in the friggin bronze-age.
I think you are speaking to the core of the secular/spiritual battle in the US. Plenty of Christian people are nice, humble, and even good. Many respect the fact that we do not want religion in school or the government, some even agree with the sentiment. A lot of them are genuinely good people. It's the fundamentalist die-hard's who try to impose their views and values we struggle against, imo.
Exactly! We live in a country that you can believe in whatever religious beliefs you want. Its when the delusional ones want to start making laws that they think we all must obey. THAT’S WHY WE HAVE SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE! AND I AIM TO KEEP IT THAT WAY!
It’s like he just can’t stand to listen when Dawkins is making a good point. It seems like it physically pains him to hear good arguments against his beliefs. He almost cringes in discomfort.
I find religious people terrifying. Even presented with detailed explanations the can only view the infirmation through the lense of a book written in the bronze age. Half the wolrds populatio can accurately be described as zoomers
First thing you have to ask and theist you are about to talk to. "If I show you proof of evolution will you accept it?" They will not be able to answer with a "Yes" without lying.
This self-proclaimed 'simple' interviewer is a highly disingenuous, and really quite sinister, fundamentalist. Let's the facade slip at certain points...
The point is that without evidence there is absolutely NO reason what-so-ever to think a particular god does exist. Do you believe there is a teapot orbiting the sun? You may as well, considering there is no evidence that it doesn't exist, right? What about leprechauns? There is no evidence they don't exist, so may as well believe in them, too. The point is that extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, it really isn't complicated.

Richard Dawkins is a brilliant, genuine and humanitarian genius that many people can't understand.

Amazin patience from Dawkins... Giving elaborate explanations only to be countered by "well, the Genesis says..."
33:28 "And we held hands and this electrical power came out from my torso, down my arms and into this person. And this person jumped back and exclaimed, "what was that?!" And I said, "Shut up! That was nothing, OK?!?!?" I wasn't gonna have any nonsense!" LMAO!!
I want to sell this Englishman a bridge.
If you are lifelong-invested and hopelessly embedded in particular Christian dogma, of which there are countless varieties, there is zero hope that rational debate can e😅nsue. Case in point here.
In this country you have the absolute right to your religious beliefs in your heart and mind in your home,church,synagogues,mosques,temples,private religious schools and your social gatherings. The First Amendment of the United States Constitution guarantees that right. It’s when delusional fanatics start trying to make their religious beliefs and views the law of the land. That’s why people with skeptical rational thinking will not tolerate religious laws being made.We aim to in force the First Amendment and keep Church And State Separate!
Irreversible brain damage
Interviewer (after giving an interminable and rambling anecdote about electricity shooting out of his body): How do you explain that? Am I deluded?
Dawkins: Probably, yes.
😂
what is the music at the beginning for?
I love Richard's facial expression while the interviewer was telling about his experience with the holy ghost or whatever.
I would have the same expression of incredulity in my face...🤭.
As much as one is willing to be respectful, one can't help it!
Dawkins says “The light has to penetrate this forest of nerves” “Any sensible designer would have had the nerves behind the light sensitive cells” he calls this a “fundamental design flaw” - Really? The inverted eye filters out most of the UV light. The light travels through the nerves etc which filters it. The octopus does not need this filter since it lives under water where most of the UV light is filtered out. Besides, the inverted eye creates the sharpest image of any other kind.
Don’t judge me by my intellect. Lol. Noted.
@investinottawa I know, the worst bit is when he drones on with his anecdote somewhere in the middle. I feel like yelling "HURRY THE FUCK UP OLD MAN!!"
The first "prophecy" in the Bible is when God told Adam that he would die "in the day" that he ate the forbidden fruit. Adam did not die until centuries later, so God's prophecy was a false prophecy.
Jesus, it’s no wonder Prof Dawkins had a stroke. Imagine being the frontman of the atheist movement and forced to deal with this all day. It’s ironic that Richard shows more “Christian” values when he discusses ideas with people. He is a smart guy, could have just made money from books and done nothing but he is trying to educate people in the truth for almost 50 years now.
Give him some slack he has only been evolving for a few thousand years.
A few hundred.
This poor man spent his whole life believing a story book. It's crazy to see someone his ages be so clueless when it comes to reality.
His repeated comment “I’m a simple man” could only be truer if he said “ I’m a simpleton”
How did we go for millions of years before we managed to have a piss 😂😂😂😂
Everything Dawkins said just went over his head. This was a waste of time for Dawkins.
A question I would love to ask Mr. Dawkins is this: I understand his argument that one percent of an eye is better than no eye. Sure that could evolve/improve over time. But what about sex organs? Wouldn’t a sex organ be completely dysfunctional at 1%? How could any living things have sustained their family line before their sex organs were 100% functional?
which year was this broadcasted?
Yep, and the only thing that can lengthen our lives, make us as "immortal" as possible, is science. Not praying to an invisible, magic man in the sky like they did in the friggin bronze-age.
I think you are speaking to the core of the secular/spiritual battle in the US. Plenty of Christian people are nice, humble, and even good. Many respect the fact that we do not want religion in school or the government, some even agree with the sentiment. A lot of them are genuinely good people. It's the fundamentalist die-hard's who try to impose their views and values we struggle against, imo.
Exactly! We live in a country that you can believe in whatever religious beliefs you want. Its when the delusional ones want to start making laws that they think we all must obey. THAT’S WHY WE HAVE SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE! AND I AIM TO KEEP IT THAT WAY!
Nailed it!
“Nice, humble and even good”. You’re admiring them to the extent that they aren’t acting religiously.
It’s like he just can’t stand to listen when Dawkins is making a good point. It seems like it physically pains him to hear good arguments against his beliefs. He almost cringes in discomfort.
Oh dear, oh dear. I don't think I'd part with my child to save some other person.
I find religious people terrifying. Even presented with detailed explanations the can only view the infirmation through the lense of a book written in the bronze age. Half the wolrds populatio can accurately be described as zoomers
First thing you have to ask and theist you are about to talk to.
"If I show you proof of evolution will you accept it?"
They will not be able to answer with a "Yes" without lying.
this interview is a classic
This self-proclaimed 'simple' interviewer is a highly disingenuous, and really quite sinister, fundamentalist. Let's the facade slip at certain points...
The point is that without evidence there is absolutely NO reason what-so-ever to think a particular god does exist. Do you believe there is a teapot orbiting the sun? You may as well, considering there is no evidence that it doesn't exist, right? What about leprechauns? There is no evidence they don't exist, so may as well believe in them, too. The point is that extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, it really isn't complicated.
