Here are some hard hitting facts! Here is some documented evidence! Authenticity of the Ica Stones Validated Basiio Ushuya became a great friend of Dr. Dennis Swift and so did Dr. Javier Cabrera and he visited them over the years particularly in 2001 as both men would shortly make their departure from this world. Basilio was married with eight children to support and by Peruvian standards a poor man. He admitted to copying ancient stone that tomb looters and archaeologists had discovered in order to make money to support his family. He insisted however, that the Cabrera Collection of stones were the “Real McCoy”. When Basilio was asked by journalist Andreas Fisher why he sold fake imitations to tourists and not the ancient engraved stones, he replied, if I were to sell stones with genuine ancient engraving, I would get into big trouble with the local Indians. They take their cultural inheritance seriously and I would also end up in prison. Authenticity of the Stones proved without a Shadow of a Doubt. Dr, Javier Cabrera took 33 stones from his museum collection in Ica to be examined at an independent laboratory in May 1967. He took them to Luis Hochshild who had a vast knowledge as a mining engineer, being President also of the Maurico Hochshild Mining Company in Lima Peru. In June of 1967 a report came back regarding laboratory tests on the ICA Stones, signed by Eric Wolf geologist. He said these were andesite stones which had been formed under great pressure. The stones are covered with a fine patina of natural oxidation which also covers the grooves by which their age should be able to be deduced. [Thus indicating they had not been carved recently] I have not been able to find any notable or irregular wear on the edges of the incisions, which leads me to suspect that these incisions were executed not long before being deposited in the graves or other places where they were discovered. Eric Wolf Lima 8th June 1967. Dr. Cabrera again submitted stones from his collection to Professor Frenchen at the University of Bonn. He received another report back on 28th January 1969. This report confirmed the earlier laboratory tests. The stones were andesite being covered with a patina or film which covered the stones going into the grooves that illustrated the dinosaurs. This is a natural oxidation process indicating they were very old, while you cannot precisely date them they are not of recent origin. There was an impressive array of qualified experts which have attested to the fact that engravings were scratched on the stones before the patina and varnish formed as a result of biological processes. Just to add weight to the authenticity of the stones, the Nazca desert of Southern Peru is one of the most arid, dry and desolate places on earth; with no measurable moisture in some spots for decades. It takes considerable time therefore for patina to form under these conditions on these artifacts. This information has been known for many years by those in the evolutionary community, some have passed on carrying this credible evidence with them to the grave. When evolutionary dogma is challenged, they close ranks and pull up the draw-bridge of their castle which they have built up over the years. The castle being: all their developmental evolutionary religious ideology. The doors of the citadels are closed to the “scientific method” when it comes to evolution being threatened. Evidence that provokes questions will not be tolerated. They have spent a lot of time over the years adorning and garnishing their erected Tower of Time. There is indeed a global conspiracy among the Darwinian Evolutionary Community to ignore, suppress and disregard evidence against evolution. They would have to re-write the history of man if they were to acknowledge that dinosaurs were contemporary with humans. Everything would be questioned and they cannot afford that mistake! These are not the actions of a sound and intelligent specie.

It seems like Dawkins always knows what to say. There's never really an empty space where he isn't taking you on some journey of thought. Love it.

@Michael Brown "There is no way you can understand that light sensitive cells could add to their genetic complexity in order to morph into pairs of functional eyeballs." Complex things are formed by simple rules. I feel like you're not understanding natural selection. What you're describing is no less probable than wolves becoming what we consider "dogs" due to our selection on who would breed and who wouldn't based upon genetic traits. What is your problem with the evolution of the eye? Specifically. If every single iteration of a light sensing organ gives advantage to the organism as a whole, how is that not in line with the theory of evolution and natural selection? It makes complete sense and is by far the best theory we have with an astronomical amount of evidence. I challenge you to be honest with yourself because when I was a christian I used the same exact arguments without fully researching the facts or proposing the question that myself or others were wrong. I mean, you don't believe in evolution but I'm sure you believe in "micro evolution" such as humans selecting traits which led to the variety of what we call dogs today? If so, at what point does that selection effecting DNA stop? Can a Chihuahua breed with a wolf (naturally)? If not, then you agree that this forms varying branches, right? That's evolution.

What is reality? What clue does Richard know will happen the second his heart stops beating, when he is brain dead? All that he fought to do in his own name will be eternally for nothing. He will , like all of us , be held accountable to God for all his life decisions and he will not be able to stand before the Lord Jesus Christ, he wil be on his face weeping for himself and all the souls he has decieved to hate God as well. He made a choice to live unto himself and not obey God. He knew the truth, but even he is so decieved , he has suppressed the truth for a lie and has basically worshiped the created things instead of the creator. Im sure Richard could teach me alot about biology and science but he cannot tell me he knows God is a delusion. I am a born again Christian, raised by atheist parents if you want to know. WHen I was 14 I was radically changed by Jesus when I invited HIm to be my Lord and Savior. There was no religion, no ceremonies...I said a prayer and meant it and asked Jesus to be my Lord. He saved me then and there and I was radically changed. 38 years later I am still even more on fire to share the Truth - that Jesus is Lord! For me reality is KNOWING Jesus and obeying Him. I do not "imagine" Him, I KNOW Him and He leads me daily. I have seen people healed in His name of blindness, deafness, demons cast out and more.....You think RIchard KNOWS God is a delusion? He wants you to believe you are evolved from a fish ancestor. No science supports such a lie and no science has been able to INCREASE genetic information in the genome with NEW genetic information NATURALLY. Nature does not DO what evolutionists imagine. Nature works exactly as Genesis states, all life only reproduces after their own kinds. Richard MOCKS Adam and Eve, that God took a rib out of Adam to make woman so she would be bone of his bone and flesh of his flesh. So tell me Richard, how would it be possible for Adam and Eve to have offspring if they were not exactly genetically compatible? God made woman from the man's genes, of His DNA! The RIB is also the ONLY bone in the human body that can regrow itself!! So you think Moses made Genesis up now? The only REALITY is this, humans are one blood, we are ALL related and we therfore came from the ONLY possible origin of the first male and female- created by GOD! They were created able to have offspring. Richard dismisses this reality. He WILL NOT accept the Bible as being truthful scientifically or historically accurate. He will not ADMIT the LIES of evolution theory and he is too proud to ADMIT he has been foolish to teach people such lies as if they are founded on truth. He will give an account to God and DO hope he repents to God for his sins for no one is without hope, but if he dies without repenting of his sin to Jesus Christ, there is no other chance. We all die ONCE then the judgment! So what is reality??? Is this "life" reality? It may be to you but if you really believe you're so right, how do you know you ar enot delusional? Do you so much rely upon your senses that you cannot even understand that you know nothing at all?

Science doesn't claim to know all the answers. Science only gives the best explanation at a moment in time and isn't afraid to say "i don't know". Religion claims to have the answers because unidentified goat herders (who were basically brain dead by todays standards) wrote something down thousands of years ago. History is full of religion modifying it's beliefs after science proved them wrong.

You have taken the quote too literal. This is a quote from Andrew Carnegie's Autobiography (1920). He was a 19th century philanthropist and a good one at that. He was most definitely not a religious man by any means, which is a particular feat in growing up in Scotland, and after reading works of Herbert Spencer and Charles Darwin he was sure never to look back to his Presbyterian roots. His parents also never forced their beliefs on him as he grew older, especially his mother. The quote: "Not only had I got rid of the theology and the supernatural, but I had found the truth of evolution." was a feeling of epiphany (which anyone, not only theists, can experience). He and many before him realized that the world can be explain through careful observation of natural selection and survival of the fittest. As opposed to enforced man made dogmatic faith. I'm not sure why you made this comment as it has nothing to do with Charles Darwin or Richard Dawkins.

I don't really know what you mean, so it's hard for me to express an opinion about something I don't have any information about. If you are referring to the former (now deceased american senator), as far as I can tell, the public opinion is somewhat divided. Anyway, my respect for Dawkins is due to his ability to educate the public on complex aspects of evolution in a comprehensive manner and his dedication to combating pseudo-science and harmful religious ideologies and not due to his political opinions (which by the way, I cannot remember him expressing any particular preference). I think he is a great scientist, educator and defender of reason. That however doesn't make him infallible on other aspects of human existence and if you feel he is wrong about something, I am sure, both him, as well as others wouldn't mind hearing about it. As a final thought, I now need to ask a question as well: do you play this video on and on and posse the same question to every Dawkins fan? I mean, no offense, but I noticed you asked the fellow on who's comment I commented the exact same thing a few hours ago - seems like a bit of trolling, doesn't it?

@B smith I understand your concern after seeing Dawkins' tweet after McCain's death (I presume this is what you meant by him 'praisin McCain). I guess he fell for the 'only good things about the dead' cliche. However if you scroll through the replies he got, he was penalised by Americans most of them expressing their disagreement with his statement. Regarding McCain, I personally think that he was a military man of his time, too patriotic for Europeans to understand, acting in context with the culture that moulded him: US is the greatest democracy on earth and the guardian of the world. Therefore he, as well as other US politicians felt it is a good idea to attack totalitarian regimes in order to free the people living under them. Do such enterprises really lead to a happy outcome? On the whole, not really, but they have the potential to spring the country it frees into a different political track, which again can be better or worse, there are no other options. However I think history has shown us it is usually the latter. So, I agree with you and the majority out there: war should be the last resort in dealing with such matters fore it leads to needles lost of lives and it might make things in the long run worse. And back to Dawkins, he should put more reason into his political statements and stick mainly to what he does best: science and science education. But I think that avalanche of replies on twitter gave him food for thought :-)

Whats the music in the background? Rather distracting.

In the thumbnail Richard looks like he dropped LSD.

I hope the bluedotfestival LEARNS from this video. bdf sounds like a magnificent (annual?) event, presumably aspiring to the beauty and wonder of Carl Sagan's "pale blue dot"? Venue presentation is an ART and SCIENCE. Between the intermittent semi-foreground music and the glare from the shimmering backdrop/stage light reflections … a fine talk was made much more painful than necessary.

I went through the books of RICHARD DAWKINS in order to improve my language, and I found it immensely written in only an academic way but the subtlety pouring in explaining phenomena, that when analyzing the sentence structures literally moved me to job-dropping mode. I am a Muslim and don’t agree a lot on what has been said; however, a host of evidence driven deciding makes an inexorable sense ...

Dear God what have you done to the sound?

Was the talk at Christian Mingle?

I guess there was a festival going on, but that loud music was quite disruptive and annoying during this meeting.

music in the bg is too distracting

Evidence... that an experience void of religious baggage is more than equally transcending. This is fellowship, folks. Peace from the Midwest, US.

I think the religion of the Ancient Greeks would be easiest to follow, its interesting, you can see the logic behind it, they are more realist and do not enforce ridiculous rules, they are not portrayed as perfect they have human flaws.

Interesting how most of the audiences questions were in the context of atheism or not atheism and the typical social implications/conflicts that occur around these belief systems. Whilst most of the talk was actually about the natural world and how non human animals live. Humans and their narcissism. E.g. Religions tend to depict a god in some human like form with typical human like traits. As well as its inherent practical value , Science also can encourage social cohesion. As eluded to in the talk, science is multinational.Science is a vast work of knowledge and has helped to mitigate the narcissistic tendencies of humans as all scientists depend upon one another.e.g . no human can know the universe. But together, working within a reliable framework ( scientific methods) humans can and are comprehending space and time ( existence) like never before. And due to research areas such as evolutionary psychology, we can also hypothesis and test why people believe and experience subjective "super" natural grand delusions. Religion has no long term future!. I'm as sure of this as l am as sure that hot has a higher energy state that colder (atomic level). And only science can provide that level of certainty because that level of confidence only is achievable through understating. Belief isn't a necessary function of the brain . .

What is that annoying music in the background?

Too many ads ! Ridiculous

What's up with the annoying background music. Wtf

I could do without Jim's extravagant hand gestures

There really ARE alternatives to faith based religion. One good example is the Society For Ethical Culture, which is a fellowship based upon "a philosophy of life, emphasizing education, growth, and social service with the purpose of helping people live better lives." (a quote from their website). There used to be a chapter in Nassau County, Long Island that my parents used to go to- dragging my 2 brothers and I along. I was too young then to really understand everything that was discussed there, but I do remember learning some basic reasoning regarding social behavior (people think more clearly as individuals than as members of a mob, for instance). But the basic idea is that you're in an assembled group of like-minded people who, as a unit, strive for the health of humankind by understanding, nurturing and supporting positive and altruistic social behavior. But with no Grand Wazoo In The Sky who will spank you if your bad.

Looks like a interesting video , but the background music is a bit annoying. Adios 👋🏽

The part about people being ostracize is very sad. I wonder how I can help these people?

I think the the way we think is the problem.. I also think that there are no branches of science. One you understand how the universe is working, Relativity, Quantum Mechanics, Atoms and everything else is one single concept. Read on if you interested : _Archetypal Entanglement A Beautiful Mind Kindle Books_

Anonymous comment from a modern day biologist He said I had written a good post, here is an answer from an anonymous biologist asked about his belief in evolution. “To be a molecular biologist requires one to hold onto two insanities at all times. One, it would be insane to believe in evolution when you can see the truth for yourself. Two, it would be insane to say you don't believe evolution. All government work, research grants, papers, big college lectures-everything would stop. I'd be out of a job, or relegated to the outer fringes where I couldn't earn a decent living.

Freewill? "Difficult question?". A bird is an animal. In the morning the bird will feel motivated (hunger) to forage for food. It may also feel motivated to forage for its offspring if the bird has chicks. During it's day the bird will have to make certain decisions possibly based on its remembered experience. E.g. Fly back to the garden where humans had put out seed. Does the bird have freewill?. The will to do as it pleases when it pleases ?. No. However, the bird will feel better if it makes the best choices.e.g. find the best feeding sites and avoid danger. I.e. the question of " freewill" attracts a lot of noise . But, before a reasonable answer can be offered the question needs to be refined. E.g. Freewill to do what ?. To choose to live how you want? . Well , l would argue that due to humans evolved psychologies quite often what humans want conflicts with what they actually need .e g .The human behaviours of excessive consumption (want) driving climate change (we don't need severe climate change). The freewill question is an ill informed question that some people like to ask as they feel it makes them sound intellectual within a social setting. Well then, rather than rattling off the arbitrary noise " do we have freewill" . Unpack the question , are we free to make decisions and the answer will be yes and no dependent on the context. Are we genetically determined, again yes and to some degree no dependent on the context ( environment). Are humans destined for extinction? Insufficient data to be confident one way or another.The universe is a vast place and lifes (DNA) purpose could be argued to be kind of information system on how to survive ( inc reproduction). Sometimes l find it hard to comprehend ( based on evidence not mere social narrative/belief) that such a system could of evolved if it were intrinsically a dead end (extinction). I.e. I'm confident the universe will not go " extinct" as "it" has always existed in one form or another and will continue to exist and change forever. If the universe, like DNA, is another form of information that evolves ......? Well, whom can say what form or forms that information will be in the future.E.g. Humans exist as observers within the context of the universe. Though we now have the capacity of creators within many contexts.e.g. Biology. I.e. mind boggling and the distant future will be as unrecognisable to us living now as today would be to our ancestors living 20 000 years in the past. One comparably modern development will last, science. That's how humanity will/is navigating it's way. Science has the potential , do humans have the minds to reach for that potential?,

science could not be music like..nature of most people hates science it is something tough and hard to be well understood ..people just like what science introduce to them..science is something which is totally physical act not spiritual at all ..people nature tend to spiritual aspects ..they seek for it via music.. religion ..

@Michael Brown The theory of evolution by natural selection, first formulated in Darwin's book "On the Origin of Species" in 1859, is the process by which organisms change over time as a result of changes in heritable physical or behavioral traits. Changes that allow an organism to better adapt to its environment will help it survive and have more offspring. Evolution by natural selection is one of the best substantiated theories in the history of science, supported by evidence from a wide variety of scientific disciplines, including paleontology, geology, genetics and developmental biology.

some people do choose death … usually the slow kind (eating; drinking; smoking themselves to death) … and some choose to martyr themselves to memes that have overtaken the brains... and some just want out before they are "required" to leave. Louis CK "jokes" that suicide solves EVERY problem... for you (in that once you are dead, who cares about worldly problems?)… it is said suicide is "a permanent solution to a temporary problem" … and while some problems (like progressive debilitating illnesses) are likely to only get worse over time (and end in death in any case) … sometimes a miracle does happen... but maybe it's not worth 10,000 people suffering for years for the 1 in 10,000 who actually do end up with a good few years. The former teacher for whom "Tuesday with Morey" was written, was being interviewed for another time by Ted Kopple years ago. Ted said, "not to be indelicate...but... the last time you were on the show, you spoke of 'the wipe test,' … umm.... how is that going?" (Morey had declared that once he could no longer wipe his own ass (he had a degenerative nerve disease) he did not want to be living any more after that) … so Morey replies: "... Well.... my perspective has changed." Ummm… yeah... it will do that. As someone said, "I don't mind dying... I just don't want to do it today." Most of us have no clue how "good" we have it... as we wander and edge closer to the precipice of life's end and we imagine we only want life when it involves full function and all the toys and smiles life has to offer … but then... when you are comparing even a mildly interesting and slightly tasty sliver of life to the abyss of eternal darkness, maybe let's have one more round? Sometimes suicide comes from a "rational" place... but often (too often) it is motivated by a depth of despair that is probably not the best place to making that choice from... if at all possible... trying to give life another chance... reaching out to others (personal or professional or just random compassionate souls) might give a chance to reset the mind and clear the perspective... and try another approach (meds?, healthy routines, healthy connections, classes... anything to infuse some light and hope … and to offer a better plateau from which to consider one's options. It is sometimes said of food that "it all ends up in the same place, anyways." That may be true, but it doesn't make chefs; recipes; and ingredients irrelevant! All lives end up at the same finishing line... but that doesn't make the steps along the path irrelevant.

God is watching this war between atheistic thought and theistic values , and is probably impressed by both.

So, in other words, fear leads to fiction that gets believed as fact.

mr dawkins i think your reason of not believing into god is your dislike of religion. by rejecting god you avoid religion and its demands. had it been that religion made sense to you, you would have believed there is god although god is the creator of the world whatever texts we ascribe to him.

People still "ask" ( many are not really asking they think their really showing a weakness in the theory of evolution ) " how could evolution evolve an eye ". The context of their ignorance is rather boring as their question is comparably analogous to something like " whoa!, look at the complexity of a car! , how could something so complex just be .....? , well, not made by a magic deity. The car ( or any complex modern mechanical system ) has of course been developed a step at a time over hundreds of years (e.g. the wheel, the combustion engine, now the electric engine etc etc into the future ). The human eye has evolved. Micro step ( adaptation ) by micro step over an unimaginably long time ( billions of years ). The problem with the creationism V Evolution " debate" is that the creationists just keep providing the same accusations that, to them, they feel really makes evolution on shaky ground. But creationists, it would make the " debate" little more interesting if you at least studied ( read a evidence book on the subject) some of the core research that the theory of evolution is founded on . ok there is a lot. But even a school level comprehension of what is meant by the word evolution would help you imagine a plausible creationist argument. Alternatively, you could just get offended as a attempt to protect your pride that's been hurt due to your own ignorance.

The Great Debate There is an on-going debate between atheist and theist over the existence of a God - and this has been fraught with misconceptions and disparaging attitude, on both sides, for millennia. What is the problem? Answer: The human condition has a Messiah Complex that has gripped both atheist and theist as they seek to "save the world" from whatever. Theists want to save the world from wickedness - by delivering people into their brand of religion. Atheists want to save the world from religion - because religion is the symptom of delusion. What if I told you: The scripture tells us: God warned man to avoid anything that causes delusion? This can be appreciated when we break down the meaning of the tree of knowledge of good and evil: Tree = Source of information Knowledge of Good = Accurate info Knowledge of Evil = Inaccurate info Partake = Digest and believe Fruit = Ideas, beliefs etc Sin = Delusion (spiritual death) The scripture defines sin as missing the mark because it is the state of mind in which the soul seeks to justify wicked behaviour; which then leads to the creation of religion. The dictionary defines religion as: a belief in and worship of a superhuman controling power. However, that is merely the semblance of a faith - because religion is an institution that has established a set of doctrines to create a hierarchy (that serves the interests of those within the hierarchy). This is why religion has been used to serve those who establish themselves as rulers in this world. Atheists see all the evil in this world is the product of religion and they understand delusion plays a role in this - but they are reluctant to peer introspectively to see their own religiosity. This argument (basically) comes down to: "Who has authority in this world?" If there is no God: man, by default, is the ultimate authority - which means: atheism is the religion of humanism that has a faith in science (as man seeks to attain superhuman controlling power). This is (already) evident as we see insanity festering in this world. Theists, on the other hand, choose to acknowledge the authority of the Most High but they (often) use whatever means, at their disposal, to assert authority over others in the name of their god(s) / idol(s). This is religiosity - because they establish a hierarchy to practice "worship" rituals. If religion is the symptom of delusion - that manifests evil - what is going on? The scripture was prepared to ensure only the humble would understand it (correctly) - because the scripture has a sense of duality that has caused many to stumble and create religions. This is exasperated by the fact we are hardwired to develop a faith in something - whether it's science, politics or whatever. This is to say: we need to acknowledge a faith in something that does not establish a religion. Yahshua (Jesus) never preached religion. In fact, He took issue with those who used the scripture to establish any kind of religion. He taught us how to worship the Father in spirit and truth - which does not require any religion. A faith in a God that does not practice religion is free of hierarchy and devoid of delusion - because the acknowledgement of a faith negates delusion: since we are aware of the fact we don't know either way. The answer, it would seem, is to love one another as Yahshua loved us. Does the scripture reveal a vengeful (hateful) God? Well... that depends what you want to see. If you read the scripture seeking an evil God - you'll find an evil God. If you read the scripture seeking a loving God - you'll find a loving God. I read the scripture and saw a loving God, that (occasionally) took measures to protect His Name, so we may have the opportunity to embrace the peace of Yahshua. All I can do is be informative of these things - so you may make a more informed decision. You see.. there is no point in arguing over this subject - because everyone is free to choose their own destiny: and only the humble, in their courage to look up, will find answers. My Best Wishes 💖 To Everyone

QUR'ANIC VIEWPOINT OF ORIGIN OF THE UNIVERSE AND CREATION OF THE MANKIND. Prophet Mohammad(pbuh)said: 1- Allah existed, Nothing existed except Him. 2-Allah willed to originate the universe. 3- He said: "Kun"(be)and it was,out of nothing.It is out of our capacity to conceive what happened first of all. " And Our word unto a thing,when We intend it, is only that We say unto it: Be! and it is". (Qur'an, 16:40) 4- The primal "being" was processed and Allah knows better what was created first of all and how?! It is not coneiveable. 5- Almighty Allah governs His whole universe according His scheme. 6- This universe ultimately will reach it's final destination (goal). 7- The reason of our creation is to test us.Those who believe in Islam and work righteousness shall have theirs reward, but those who rejected Islam can not escape punishment. Creation of the first man-- Adam. Allah Created Adam out of dust. He breathed into him of His spirit,made the angels bow before him. Iblees refused to prostrate,he was rejected and cursed forever. " So, when I have made him(fashioned him in due proportion) and breathed into him of My spirit,do ye fall down,prostrating yourselves unto Him" (Qur'an,15:29) Adam was taught all the nanes, and their characteristics. Adam and his mate dwelled in Al-Jannah. Later they were sent to Earth. "We said: Get ye down,one of you a foe unto the other!There shall be for you on earth a habitation and provisions for a time. (Qur'an, 2:36) From them decended all men and women on earth. The humanity is in essence a single family with every one descended from a single pair of original ancestors. " O mankind! reverence your Lord Who created you from a single soul and from it created it's mate and from them twain spread multitude of men and women. " (Qur'an,4:1)

Darwin's words: "I can indeed hardly see how anyone ought to wish Christianity to be true; for if so, the plain language of the text seems to show that men who do not believe, and this would include my Father, brother and almost all my best friends, will be everlastingly punished, And that is a damnable doctrine." I do not want to abide in Darwin and his words, his mantra was: "Survival of the Fittest" these words are earthly, sensual, devilish and hell is behind it. There is no hope in Darwinian Evolutionary Religion only death and destruction. Those who preach evolution as a fact of science are irresponsible; as they promote immoral behaviour by the back door. There will eventually be curfews in towns and cities; this is the beginning of sorrows, but it will all end in tears at Armageddon. On the very day of this battle; the Lord Jesus Christ will descend from heaven in order to stop man; destroying himself through selfishness and greed. Jesus will settle his account with mankind, having destroyed the Antichrist and his kingdom. Jesus said, that lightning would flash across the sky from the east unto the west on the day when the Son of man is revealed I willingly abide in Jesus and his words, "Let him who hath ears to hear, let him hear" this was his mantra very often while teaching the people. Jesus made this statement because he knew that the majority were dull of hearing! Jesus warned men about speaking idle words, indicating he never spoke an idle word. Jesus said, love God with all of your heart, mind, soul, spirit and strength and love your neighbour as yourself. What an excellent moral recipe! That sounds about right to me, words of spirit and life. This is good doctrine, sound doctrine, flawless doctrine, sober doctrine etc. If the Gospel of Jesus Christ is a damnable doctrine as Darwin asserts; then where does that leave "The Origin of Species and Preservation of Favoured Races?" Kind Regards

A scientific mind should want to make sure they understand what the Christian Bible is actually saying before concluding to believe its content or not; to accept or reject it. A scientific mind doesn’t have to believe the claims in the Bible to criticize it, but they should at least criticize it for what it actually claims; not for what they think it says. Dawkins clearly doesn’t understand what the Bible teaches. He has every bit of freedom to believe or disbelieve the claims of the Bible, but he criticizes what he doesn’t understand. I’m a Christian that hates religion. Religion is the very thing that keeps people from seeing a need for God in their lives. Religion keeps people believing that just saying a prayer, just doing good deeds, or just giving a little money to charity is enough for them to get into heaven. The take-home message is that we should blame worldly religion itself, not Jesus, for our ignorance, because religion without Christ Jesus is an evil perversion of truth and decent faith. Belief in the sense and sensibility of Jesus Christ does not lead to ignorance.

Jesus is positively the most pleasant character in all reality: a God not jealous for himself, but for those pulled away from His free offer of eternal life, proud to no fault; a gracious, forgiving Father, a merciful, kindhearted heavenly provider; tolerant of all believing nations, races, men, women, and children; a giver of life, a healer, a source of unconditional love, author of procreation, and an ever-present benevolent liberator from sin.

Well, you are correct. There is only one God. The Bible never records Jesus saying the precise words, “I am God.” That does not mean, however, that He did not proclaim that He is God. Take for example Jesus’ words in John 10:30, “I and the Father are one.” We need only to look at the Jews’ reaction to His statement to know He was claiming to be God. They tried to stone Him for this very reason: “The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God” (John 10:33). The Jews understood exactly what Jesus was claiming-deity. When Jesus declared, “I and the Father are one,” He was saying that He and the Father are of one nature and essence. John 8:58 is another example. Jesus declared, “Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.”

I think your view of him may be distorted by something other than his objective views. Are you religious?

rt, are you inclined to believe the "logic' that religion is "right" because it so decrees that it is "the truth" (even though EVERY religion declares itself to be THE ONE, which necessitates that the others are wrong) and science is less "true" because it self identifies as "theories"? In the bad old dark ages religion ruled most corners of life... over the centuries the bright light of science has typically, eventually, chased away the religious dust devils. It is possible the world will fall again into the darkness if god delusions... individually humans are very vulnerable to non logical conduct … it is from honest peer review that individuals have a better chance of overcoming their human frailties (not with an appeal to a non existent god and the many who claim to know what "he" thinks and wishes for us)… so cults of catholocism and islam are "doing quite well"... sadly... mostly in being a destructive influence on actually decent and moral conduct.

The empty bravado of going “one god further” is nothing more than an admission of placing a presumptive conclusion ahead of rational investigation. Dawkins’ statement excludes the reality that the true God has already revealed himself to humanity. “One god further” only leads to delusion.
