I spent many many happy hours taking yoga free from a wonderful Hindu priest in a Hindu temple. He never once indicated this horrible lie on RU-vid that yoga postures are for worshiping some diety or another. Its totally false.
Considering my dna is 98.8% identical to a chimp, i’d be absolutely fuming if i found out i hadnt evolved from them and some bell in the sky has manufactured me that way. Why not just go the whole way and make me a chimp?
I'm not an expert on evolutionary/genetical science. What I don't get about homosexuality is if it is linked to an inheritable gene, then why hasn't it died out or even mostly died out? Why would millions of heterosexual parents produce homosexual children every year? At least 5% of the population is homosexual, but (presumably) far less of their parents and ancestors are, which is where their genes are supposed to come from. How could all these gay people get the gay gene from their straight parents??
These people make up anything, and call it “science” in an attempt to back their sinful desires… Do not fall for all the lies these of these fake “scientists”! Don’t look for the Truth from those whom don’t live in it! Christ is the Truth, so it’s understandable that only when we live in Christ and Christ in us, do we live in and possess the Truth! ✝
Is it me or do white educators have a bad way of explaining information? They're so obsessed with using such big words they don't even realize we live in a simple-minded world who don't have time for all that 'fancy' vocabulary by reading a dictionary. Why can't they just simplify their own speech? After all not everyone is going to be at their level that quickly. Everybody has their own pace. 💢
Fantastic and thought inspiring talk between two great minds. But the odds of life or at least what we´d call intelligent life apart from us aren´t necessarily that great. Check out the Rare Earth theory. If you look at the chances in a naively positive way sure, but if you look at all the factors of what made earth and us what it is, different story. From where we are in universe, to chemistry, to a number of cosmological events, to another long series of events on earth, including a giant meteor that took out the completely dominant dinosaurs and made mammals develop to us. Rare Earth makes the case that this is all parts in an equation with a negative answer. So no matter how many galaxies you put in there the answer will be nil. And then there´s us of course.
Wow, the people who wrote those comments are clearly "devout christians"! Many thanks to Richard for "The God delusion", it crystallised my atheism. I preach from it sometimes!
Great Work Dear Mentor... My father treated me the same way as you treat your child.... Shame to all those parents who are themselves deprived of the truth and abuse their child due to their stupid beliefs... !
So very interesting the point about how the priests, and so forth will speak differently with one another than they speak to their flocks. Great vid -- again . . .
What a marvelous conversation. Father George Coyne is not afraid to admit that his beliefs are just that, but also passionately expresses his deep understanding and respect for science and how it contradicts and fights with his understanding. I deeply respect this man...and he gives great credit to his fellow Catholics. None of us know the true meaning. And no evidence to date can prove or disprove either case. We "live" in a mystery. And open and polite debate will help us all to find perhaps a slither of the truth.
The evolution of the sexes happened long before mammals evolved. It happened in simpler life forms, and we can still see examples of the process today. There are creatures right now that can reproduce sexually and asexually. There are creatures that can change sex at need.
One question to you all … 2 of these athiests have gone why you can’t bring them back to life ??? Why … thats a clear evidence of the hereafter existence
Same reason why religious people can't, state laws. Even though Catholic and Christian denominations seem to be ok with your mother having your child but it's still against the law.
0:40 I’m sorry. But… they aren’t “progressively” losing their legs. They’re literally getting larger right up until Dorudon where they disappear. I’m not saying it didn’t happen this way, I’m just saying I have eyes and can clearly see the legs aren’t getting smaller; so why say they are?
"Random chance" - the basis of Darwinism - only works for super small numbers like dice games ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MU6b9VM9j3Q.html
That makes no sense. It works great with large numbers. It's slower with very large numbers mind you. The keys appear to be the numbers, the life span (frequency of the generation), environmental factors, and means of reproduction. Sexual reproduction being faster than asexual reproduction.
@@ozowen There are 120 permutations of picking 3 cards from 6. But move up just a little bit to 14 cards out of 28 and there are more permutations than seconds since the start of the Universe - "Slower", yes "slower"
@@FaultLines-nd2nc In humans every individual has an average of 200 mutations. In every generation. So, however many millions individuals that is times 200. But it does work better in an isolated population. So, each generation of say ten thousand, times 200.
@@FaultLines-nd2nc and what happens when a useful mutation happens? It is usually preserved and becomes a part of the population genetics. Ie: its survival increases. What happens if, in a single generation 2 useful mutations happen? Both are preserved. And in the generation previous? Preserved. You are making it about statistics. Ignoring natural selection. Each useful mutation in each generation is preserved and the changes accumulate. The non useful ones either disappear from the population genetics or are turned off or isolated.
If cyanobacteria became barnacles , bass, bison , bats, bovines, and Bachelors, why hasnt it evolved over the last 3.5 billion years, but is considered a Living Fossil.
I’m struggling with, “We are not monkies, but share a common ancestor” Is that not the evolution of monkeys? Basically, I asking would a common ancestor not be the same thing as evolving from monkeys? I share a common ancestor with my mother and father and I came from them.
The danger is when people who never learned how to think critically end up teaching more children as they were taught, thus the cycle perpetuates. I actually found the interview with those Muslim teachers hard to watch, as I could not believe adults could be so deluded in thinking that they were in fact teaching children to think for themselves. Presenting children with an irrefutable dogma and then simply telling them, ‘make of it what you will’, is not ‘open-minded’ by any stretch of the imagination. I long for the day when ALL children are given the tools to express themselves and think for themselves. In other words, when they are taught HOW to think, not WHAT to think. A decade later, and this blight on our society is still running rampant. I fear it will never be resolved so long as there are adults who never learned to think for themselves having children. The ending of this video had me in tears. Just knowing that children have such a natural propensity for curiosity which can be nurtured if we only give them the tools to question information, and that the vastness and apparent ‘meaninglessness’ of everything without the comfort of a divine creator can be fought with helping kids see the joy of curiosity and investigative thinking, yet we are still so, so far from this being a constant for every child on the planet, is utterly heart-wrenching.
