I have to jump in here, because in my Lutheran Sunday School class, when the topic of Creation V Evolution came, I (thinking myself rather brilliant for thinking of the idea) Suggested this very thing. I said maybe God created the world THROUGH evolution, so as to give a scientific expl. I was pulled aside after class and asked not to return to Sunday School. Chalk that up to one of the many reasons I am an atheist today,
They were right to ask you not to return; evolution is so toxic to religion because once you understand how it works, the idea of God becomes irrelevant. I mean you can imagine a God creating the world through evolution if you like, but it works just as well without the God. The God, if you want it to be there, has nothing to do. If, despite all that, you still really want to think it's all Gods plan, then make a closer inspection and decide whether you have to hope it was a bad day for God when he came up with it - the relentless struggle for survival, the pitiless extermination, the gruesome parasites, the monstrous deformities that the evolutionary process guarantees occasionally to occur.....some 'design', eh?! Yes, once you'd shown signs of latching onto those ideas, they knew what to do with you, alright.
Evolution is not toxic to religion, this is only a problem if you believe that the bible is the truth and not just our best explanation of what happened.
"I am convinced that He (God) does not play dice." - Einstein (pre-eminent physicist) "Einstein, stop telling God what to do!" - Niels Bohr (pre-eminent quantum physicist) "Science without religion is lame. Religion without science is blind." - Einstein "The opposite of a fact is falsehood, but the opposite of one profound truth may very well be another profound truth." - Niels Bohr Just a couple of quotes from 2 of the greatest minds of the early 20th century to think about.
"Think logically if any aspect is at all recognizable. And then carry on the never-ending struggle for applied mathematics from a modern point of view needed for the study of interactions between energy and matter along roadsides. But let’s keep a close eye on sunspots anyway, but with a demand for carefully crafted parking lots, comfortable, economical and made to last once you know the rule of pressurized air. The balance of power is changing because it is easy to operate, safe and harmless for fresh-squeezed lemons. Brush your teeth in less than 10 seconds with a simulation experience and the sound is crisp and clear on sun-drenched beaches of mirror worlds. Barber shops are playing a leading role in preserving and sustaining the unique ecology of inclusive federal policies in response to years of experience and observation. That's the primordial truth behind everything finding anomalous structures inside emotional thresholds using a new technology that results in cereal boxes. The singularity has already happened, low-carb and gluten-free." ---Albert Einstein
When you say ...Were only here by chance....who are u talking about? If u mean Humans then I wouldn't call it by Chance but by Luck! Were Lucky we get another chance....when I say were I mean We as humans......A chance to enjoy this Beautiful world....THAT WOULD BE A PARADISE IF WE TOOK CARE OF IT AND STOP BUILDING ALL THESE BUILDING'S AND USELESS SKYSCRAPERS.....
You say “we survived, 99% of the other species that have ever existed didn’t”. That doesn’t tell the whole picture, we’ve only been here for what, 100,000-250,000 years ? The dinosaurs ruled the planet for 165,000,000 years, we definitely won’t survive that long 🤣
Well this is the scientific theory ..!?.but in the end we can only guess how everything was made..!? is the earth Hollow!? Has it been placed to regulate our seasons by an intelligent species and we have been made to be what we are now !?..we can speculate but until we can go back in time to see for ourselves we can't know for certain... nobody can.. not even the scientists 😅😅
Those 'simple strings of molecules' - ah, if only it was that simple! The fact is, we actually have no clue how life came about. Assuming it happened by chance is really... a faith statement. We really just don't know.
I only recently discovered Tony Robinson documentaries. I like them a lot. I have to wonder however who sponsors such well done documentaries. I see the category under which it's listed is eduction. Anyone have an idea who puts up the funding for these films? Whomever it is, I'm grateful to them.
BBC Edit; so, the British Taxpayers. BBC is a public service channel, like our own DR here in Denmark. Hence the BBC makes excellent documentaries, cause they do not have to cater to anyone, only to enlighten and educate - Public Service. Contrast this with HistorAlien Channel, whose horrendously low standard is supposed to attract wievers...
Palle Rasmussen PBS documentaries (public television again LOL) are as good as the BBC ones, even better for me, cause I can´t stand british accent (except for Robinson, he has all the best of the british´s clear consonant pronuntiation, but without the overall sensation of pastiness which makes most of them to sound like they´re sucking a dick while spitting little drops of cum each time they pronounce a T)
@@tatsndreads5491 its just like evrything else, its all down to trial and error until you get it right, you learn by your mistakes and it will take as long as it has to!
After 2 years of binging on Time team videos from your collection I( found this series in your playlist. Obviously, I never went to see the playlist that has revealed much more education by Sir Tony. Guessing there'll be no TimeTeam, Tony, Carenza, Bridgett or ....
Time Team just put out a couple new episodes on the official time team channel. No Tony, and even more sadly imo, no Phil. But Carenza, John, Stuart and a number of others are still on.
Actually the tail of a comet is proof that it has significant amounts of "ice" which may be frozen water or chemical compounds other than water, such as methane, CO2, and an assortment of others.
and don't give me that BS about "we are arrogant to think it would happen in our life time, it takes thousands, millions of years to happen" The clock hasn't stopped ticking just because we are here. The planet is 5 billion years and counting, the clock never stopped. We should, in the last 10,000 years of written history..or even the last 1000, or 100 years, have seen some kind of hard evidence for such an event. It-hasn't-happened.
I will believe that macro-evolution is possible when I see proof of it. I'm not arguing against you. I do see micro-evolution everywhere, and that makes sense. Yet if millions of people can believe that life sprang up out of nowhere, then so can I. The only difference between the two beliefs is that one has a faith in a god behind it. If non believers can believe that one day, for no reason at all life just sprang up. Then I can believe that my Creator made life spring up from the ground. :)
The only question is, when faced with such proof, will you really believe in macro-evolution, or will you go into denial of the proof? But the real question is, Would it be for want of answering unsettled questions and investigating other paths, or would it be to keep from upsetting your lifeview?
Absolutely your choice and as an atheists and believer in the science I will always respect peoples beliefs, as long as they are not pushed on me or are used to rule my life. I suppose the next question is if there is a god, a supreme being, why so much suffering ?
IF there was a 2nd planet, would you not expect to find a ring of debris around our planet? And do you think it is a coincidence that the distance of our moon to earth, is exact that when the moon comes between the sun and earth, it is perfectly JUST blocking the sunlight.....The moon is not closer or further away but JUUUUUUUUUUST right..
The Moon hasn't always been as far away as it is now. It was much closer. And, it's slowly moving away from Earth. The rings you are talking about would happen only if all particles left over from the collision were very small.
@@annoyed707 : Meggan takes at it's word, a book written by at least 40 different human authors over the course of 1600 years, as actual fact. A book that although it's first version was written about 3500 years ago, claimed the planet was only 6,000 years old, making the world less than 10,000 years old today. An obvious lie. The plan was to use people like Meggan's fear to control their thoughts and keep them "in their place.".
