| Actually I was ... ( 7 months ago by megamarsvin) |
| Actually I was referring to the first guy whose comment got thumbed down too much. I'm actually an atheist too. ;) Sorry for the confusion. |
| Thats one of the ... ( 6 months ago by 120casst) |
| Thats one of the dumbest things I've read in a while and I've read some dumb shit from the god-squad. How do you not fall over more? Talking shit does not change reality Silicondoc. |
| Darwin's theories ... ( 6 months ago by Silicondoc) |
| Darwin's theories STATE - various pockets of isolated humans EVOLVED DIFFERENTLY. We see this in various physical structures our vision clearly percieves, and with bio sciences we are well aware of genetic differences, and even genetic flaws that run in CERTAIN races. You NOT WANTING that to be the truth does not make it "stupid", nor make it false. Keep your blinders on my friend, since the truth is to hot to handle, for some. Dawk will lie for you some more, suck it up in PC doof glory. |
| He linked it in the ... ( 6 months ago by Silicondoc) |
| He linked it in the video you idiot, not myself. I am not a theist, either. I am a scientist. |
| wouldn't this idea ... ( 6 months ago by garith21) |
| wouldn't this idea have more to deal with genetic drift more than the idea of exterminating a bunch of people selectively? even if darwin determined something as a flaw, that would be a personal opinion not a scientific statement. |
| Thankfully we have ... ( 6 months ago by 120casst) |
| Thankfully we have come a long way from Darwin. Unlike you I have many books to learn from, books by Sam Harris, Prof Dan Dennett, Chris Hichens, and of course Dawkins to name a few. What have you got, the 1800 year old ramblings of a young race trying to understand a mad world. God is delusion. When sunday school children can teach this to thier teachers, there must be something wrong. |
| Lol, you could just ... ( 5 months ago by xXAkridXx) |
| Lol, you could just as well say "I am a scientist, therefore I am not a theist." :P |
| actually, modern ... ( 5 months ago by raveryyyy) |
| actually, modern molecular evidence shows that there is more genetic variation between individuals of a particular "race" (read:skin color) than there are btw individuals of different races. there are races or subspecies in the animal kingdom, but there is nowhere near enough difference btw humans to put them in this category. keep our blinders on? we will, and focus only on the evidence. |
| Like "Darwinism" ... ( 5 months ago by Aldelirium) |
| Like "Darwinism" itself, social darwinism does not advocate or justify, but merely explains conduct. |
| Scientist my arse. ... ( 5 months ago by Slabbers) |
| Scientist my arse. What and where have you published Silicondoc, pray tell? |
| Hey, I'm a ... ( 5 months ago by Valelacerte) |
| Hey, I'm a scientist too, and I'm publishing this very second. |
| silicondoc wrote " ... ( 4 months ago by jedimasterzeke) |
| silicondoc wrote "suck it up in PC doof glory". wow! what an intelligent statement, from a self proclaimed scientist no less. looks more like you have a degree in rudeness, disrespect and megalomania, hmm kinda like the god of the old testament. |
| Catholic priesthood ... ( 4 months ago by Hohlmackenreiter) |
| Catholic priesthood was the single most proffession held captive in concentration camps. Suggesting Hitler would've been a devout Catholic is just ridiculous. His idea of what "God" should be had nothing to do with catholicism. One could argue that he used the Catholic church for his own plans at best... |
| ...Like preists and ... ( 3 months ago by baillou2) |
| ...Like preists and such do. ;) |
| I have to really ... ( 3 months ago by narbularity) |
| I have to really feel sorry for Dawkins people keep asking him the same questions over and over again. You just wish the interviewers would read the books. |
| Am I the only one ... ( 2 months ago by ByronC900) |
| Am I the only one who thinks Paula Kirby looks HOT in these videos? I love her accent too. |
| Acting in favour of ... ( 2 months ago by leorana2) |
| Acting in favour of either family kin,or those who are expected to be able to return the favour should one need it, is NOT altruism. Dawkins falls here for the blurring of the term by those who wish to promote it along with other valid concepts. Real altruism means sacrificing one's own values / well being / property in order to help someone else from which the one expect NOTHING in return for said sacrifice. That's why it's an evil concept and should NOT be confused with caring for one's family |
| I dont like how the ... ( 2 months ago by mccote) |
| I dont like how the conversation is obviously scripted and has been rehearsed. I prefer the debate style where the speakers have to be prepared for anything. I guess its good in the sense that Dawkins gets to say everything he wants to this way. |
| Yeah, you're the ... ( 2 months ago by zenepick) |
| Yeah, you're the only one. |
| Self sacrifice to ... ( 2 months ago by BulletMagnetOWI) |
| Self sacrifice to benefit kin is explained as the evolutionary origin of altruism, not what altruism is. His argument is that historically, all the people someone would meet would be closely related and/or someone you are likely to meet again and therefore in a position to reciprocate (not that that is a conscious thought on the pact of the benefactor, but rather the inevitable result). Nowadays, we still have that behaviour but benefiting from it is less likely. |

| well, it is a lecture |
| I don't know. I ... ( 1 month ago by mdiem) |
| I don't know. I think Paula has a fun outfit. Her shoes are sexy though. |
