So touching and priceless when Dawkins picked up that baby and talked about life. More poignant is when he said 'after sleeping for 140 million centuries, we've woken up in the universe... before long we shall close our eyes again...'

Let have some truth for a change! Dinosaur Revelations of the ICA Stones Examination of the ICA Stones in Peru revealed their authenticity. Dr. Andres Zhurov a Russian with a PhD in Andean Archaeology from Moscow State University and Don Frazier, a computer technological expert from San Jose California joined the team. Dr. Ricardo Jochamowitz the Director of the Cabrera Museum association agreed to an examination of the ICA Stones. Marcel Rosas of Nazca Peru, a sceptic of the stones also agreed to participate with other skeptics and debunkers. They negotiated a test that all sides felt was fair and reasonable. Each person would randomly select five stones, each with dinosaurs carved on them from the museum and so by the end of the day we had analysed forty stones in total. The skeptics selected any stones they thought were fakes and believers selected stones that they liked for examination. Neutral people could also select stones at random. Dr. Dennis Swift used a portable USB digital microscope used in forensic laboratories and police crime labs. This is a high tech piece of equipment. It magnifies from 10x to 200x. To give an illustration of its power, it magnifies a human hair until it looks like a giant redwood tree. The microscope is connected to a laptop in order to take photographs and digital images which can be compiled on a Camcorder. All the information gained from the ICA Stones was analysed in detail. This microscope proved the authenticity and antiquity of the ICA Stones on the 8th April 2004. All sides agreed that the tests were scientific, accurate and fair, thus there were no skeptics left in the room at the end of the day. A charge often made by evolutionists is that the Cabrera Collection of stones was carved by rotatory power tools etc. These leave tell -tale signs behind them in the stone, such as contoured grooves, chips, flakes, cracks and pieces of metal, all would be recognize under this forensic microscope, but there were none. These stones are “andesite” in nature and under examination the stones are covered with patina which illustrates age and this when right into all the grooves of the carvings related to the dinosaurs displaying antiquity. This natural forming patina has been found on other Pre-Columbian burial archaeological artifacts. There is an accumulation of patina and varnish from biological sources being produced from algae or bacteria. If these stones had been carved by rotary power tools they would have cut through this ancient patina and it would be evident, for all to see under microscope. Lichen colonies had been identified being found in the carved grooves; that take hundreds of years to grow, particularly in the Nazca desert burial chambers. Laboratory tests proved that these Lichen colonies belonged to the Xanthoparnelia variety. These stones alone prove that dinosaurs were contemporary with humans only a few thousand years ago and that they did not die out 65 million years ago. Forget about radio metric dating etc. We have scientific proof that dinosaurs were contemporary with humans not so long ago. Take all evolutionary dating methods with a pinch of salt for rocks and fossils they are not worth the time of day. The whole ideal geologic column is fake news, it is a false image of where man originated from, and for those who recognise this, it has come crashing down to the ground like the chaff of the summer threshing floor and chaff does not hang about but gets blown away by the wind.

@fanabudrogh9241 Thank you for your honesty and forth rightness in this matter. I wish we had more people like you speaking out. Great men tell the truth and often suffer persecution for doing so. You may enjoy this reasoning: The Evolutionary Origin of Birds This is a matter of deduction, it is all guess work. Pure fantasy and imagination based on the artificial geologic column. There is no fossil evidence of the stages through which this remarkable change from reptile to bird was achieved. Impossible alterations needed in order to change a reptile into a bird: A “variety of feathers” covering the bird, growth of wings, strengthening of certain muscles, higher blood sugar levels and body temperate levels, this is a drastic change, total revision of respiratory, nervous and reproductive systems, lightening of bones in order for it to fly, new digestive system and instinctive behaviours, every specie is subject to irreducible complexity. This is a problem for Darwinian Evolutionary Religion and a bridge too far for natural selection based on random mutations relative to the genome. It is not possible to have a build-up of genetic complexity. Irreducible complexity speaks for itself. They say it takes about 20 transitional forms [guesswork] to change one- specie into another. Charles Darwin said, “As by this theory innumerable transitional forms must have existed, why do we not find them embedded in countless numbers in the crust of the earth? Good question Charlie! The number of intermediate links between all living and extinct species must have been inconceivably great! A note on Comparative anatomy This not evidence for evolution. It just means that when you have a good design you use it to create a variety of species. For example: the foot, knee and ankle. Man invented the wheel, utilizing it on carts, bicycles, cars, trams, steering wheels etc. Evolution is on trial here not Creation. If there were a number of evolutionists in a room with one creationist, who do you think would have the legitimate right to throw a stone? If the creationist said to the evolutionists show me fossil evidence of macro-evolution on a grand- scale. All the evolutionists would have to leave the room one by one, beginning at the eldest to the youngest; he would be left alone in the room. The creationist would be the one that had the legitimate right to throw stones at all the evolutionists, but he could not do so. Being a Christian he would show love and have mercy upon the willingly ignorant, praying that they may come to their senses! Being caught up in evolution being your occupation when suddenly the light comes on is not an easy position to find yourself in. As one molecular biologist said to me anonymously, that he could see design in all living organisms but he could not say he didn’t believe in evolution or he would be out of a source of income, words to the effect. Objectivity of Science “One cannot be exposed to the law and order of the universe without concluding that there must be design and purpose behind it all. To be forced to believe only one conclusion that everything in the universe happened by chance [my opinion doesn’t make sense] would violate the very objectivity of science itself. They [evolutionists] challenge science to prove the existence of God. But must we really light a candle to see the sun? It is in scientific honesty that I endorse the presentation of alternative theories for the origin of the universe, life and man in the science classroom. It would be an error to overlook that the universe was planned rather than happening by chance.” Dr. Wernher von Braun [Father of American rocket and space program] The problem today is communism and a lack of scientific honesty, because evolutionists are hostile towards belief in God. This teaching is all part of the globalist agenda which will end in tears. I would have liked to see Richard Dawkins debate a man like this.

@@amiraboodi2075 I am here to expose the truth! The Cabrera Collection is the Evolutionist’s Nightmare These carved ICA stones where first recognized in the 1500’s by the Spanish Conquistador that not only depicted dinosaurs but surgical operations which modern medicine today was just starting to practice. In obscure and ancient journals it has been mentioned that strange engraved stones were found, predating the peasants who have been accused of carving these images on the stones by 450 years. Catholic priests and Chroniclers remarked about these stones who also accompanied the Spanish Conquistadors as they invaded South America. Convention Dr Javier Cabrera spoke at the first Convention of the Director’s of the Department of Culture in Peru. He made his case for a study of the ICA Stones to archaeologists present in June 1968. The Convention gave unanimous support at the time of Dr. Cabrera’s proposal, so he prepared his case for official authorization to have a systematic excavation in archaeology in the zone of Ocucaje. Suddenly when the government authorities became aware of his intentions, they without notice relieved him from his position of Director of Cultural Affairs of Ica with immediate effect. What were they afraid off? The new Director of the Museum, who had been set up, refused to allow the institution’s collection of engraved stones to be put on public display. They were immediately stored in vaults. As you might say, out of sight, out of mind. This man of sin said no tests were necessary because a friend of his said they had been carved by local peasants in Ocucaje. This was a cover-up and a denial of the evidence 10,000 stones which looked exquisite showing a variety of species which peasants have never seen before and had no knowledge of them except trained paleontologists. Local peasants had carved them, I don’t think so! Authentication of the ICA Stones by NASA Scientist Joseph Bullrich who developed the design of the Saturn V missile and worked on the design of the Skylab also studied the ICA Stones. His conclusion, “There is no doubt in my mind about the authenticity of these stones’ pictures.” What a testimony from a highly qualified scientist. Pterosaurs and flying pteranodons were also pictured on the perplexing ICA Stones. Engraved stones have been recovered from tombs in the Ocucaje Desert. These authentic archaeological specimens particularly of dinosaurs; should have been the focus of worldwide attention. The scholars scoffed at them out of fear and cowardice and then let them mysteriously disappear in silence to the back rooms of the ICA Regional Museum, out of public sight. That is where they are today in 2023. Any enquiry about viewing them is met with silence through bureaucratic red tape. I have no doubt in my mind today, that if evolutionists felt threatened by them, that if anybody tried to put them on public display, they would destroy every single one of them in order to protect the Sacred Cow of Evolution. Herman Buse reopened the issue of the engraved stones in 1972 at the Congress of Andean Archaeology. Many foreign and national archaeologists had gathered at Lima. Buse pointed out to the participants their duty to give an official opinion of the ICA Stones. The Lima newspaper EL Comericio published an article on the Herman Buse lecture at the conference, blasting the incredulity of these archaeologists for refusing to address the authenticity of these stones as other qualified men believe in them that is in their legitimacy and certifiable antiquity. The establishment rejected his request out of hand, showing no interested in studying the stones. These foreign and national archaeologists are terrified of the ICA Stones, if shown to be authentic would destroy with a pedestal blow the evolutionary Tower of Time: the ideal geologic column, shattering contemporary ideas of the origin of man and indeed life itself. Scientific denials make good headlines and propaganda for media outlets. In those days newspapers working for the government were spoon feeding the populace as in the case of the media of television today and the internet their propaganda etc.

I love listening to Richard Dawkins. He teaches science with such passion with his main motivation to seek the truth. Long live Professor Dawkins. You are a gift to the world.

If you are too lazy to learn about the philosophy of science, then let me explain it to you, Chris Joker. Here it is - The philosophy of science has foundations, methods, and the implications of science. If a person comes up with another theory about the origin of life and that theory has more weight, in terms of evidence, then it will become the latest theory. Science is continuously evolving & changing. There were many famous theories, which were considered to be the absolute truth, yet they are nothing more than a mystical discussion now. Let me give you an example - If you go back 50 years, then there was a theory about the Universe, called ( The Static Universe ). This theory basically said that the Universe was eternal and it never had a beginning. This theory got replaced with a new theory, which we now know as ( The Theory of Big Bang ). As you can see that no matter how much faith you have in science, it will still evolve and leave you behind, if you don't follow it's fundamental principles. The fundamental principles of science are simple. Here it is - Always be an agnostic about everything you learn about science, because it might change in the future. I hope you learned something today my friend.

After watching a great number of Prof. Dawkins's presentations, and never seeing another baby as a prop, I suspect he wishes he had dropped the baby line from this onr

I remember watching this at the time. It was the first time I had ever heard of Dawkins and I've been a fan since. I wish I had had teachers like him.

lol the baby is hilarious.. "here is it that we are born and bred and live.." WAAAHHH

What an excellent lecture, so beyond its time

Lets have some truth for a change! Dinosaur Revelations of the ICA Stones Examination of the ICA Stones in Peru revealed their authenticity. Dr. Andres Zhurov a Russian with a PhD in Andean Archaeology from Moscow State University and Don Frazier, a computer technological expert from San Jose California joined the team. Dr. Ricardo Jochamowitz the Director of the Cabrera Museum association agreed to an examination of the ICA Stones. Marcel Rosas of Nazca Peru, a sceptic of the stones also agreed to participate with other skeptics and debunkers. They negotiated a test that all sides felt was fair and reasonable. Each person would randomly select five stones, each with dinosaurs carved on them from the museum and so by the end of the day we had analysed forty stones in total. The skeptics selected any stones they thought were fakes and believers selected stones that they liked for examination. Neutral people could also select stones at random. Dr. Dennis Swift used a portable USB digital microscope used in forensic laboratories and police crime labs. This is a high tech piece of equipment. It magnifies from 10x to 200x. To give an illustration of its power, it magnifies a human hair until it looks like a giant redwood tree. The microscope is connected to a laptop in order to take photographs and digital images which can be compiled on a Camcorder. All the information gained from the ICA Stones was analysed in detail. This microscope proved the authenticity and antiquity of the ICA Stones on the 8th April 2004. All sides agreed that the tests were scientific, accurate and fair, thus there were no skeptics left in the room at the end of the day. A charge often made by evolutionists is that the Cabrera Collection of stones was carved by rotatory power tools etc. These leave tell -tale signs behind them in the stone, such as contoured grooves, chips, flakes, cracks and pieces of metal, all would be recognize under this forensic microscope, but there were none. These stones are “andesite” in nature and under examination the stones are covered with patina which illustrates age and this when right into all the grooves of the carvings related to the dinosaurs displaying antiquity. This natural forming patina has been found on other Pre-Columbian burial archaeological artifacts. There is an accumulation of patina and varnish from biological sources being produced from algae or bacteria. If these stones had been carved by rotary power tools they would have cut through this ancient patina and it would be evident, for all to see under microscope. Lichen colonies had been identified being found in the carved grooves; that take hundreds of years to grow, particularly in the Nazca desert burial chambers. Laboratory tests proved that these Lichen colonies belonged to the Xanthoparnelia variety. These stones alone prove that dinosaurs were contemporary with humans only a few thousand years ago and that they did not die out 65 million years ago. Forget about radio metric dating etc. We have scientific proof that dinosaurs were contemporary with humans not so long ago. Take all evolutionary dating methods with a pinch of salt for rocks and fossils they are not worth the time of day. The whole ideal geologic column is fake news, it is a false image of where man originated from, and for those who recognise this, it has come crashing down to the ground like the chaff of the summer threshing floor and chaff does not hang about but gets blown away by the wind.

thank you sir richard from pakistan .I would like to tell you that i am also atheist and i think we people of 21 century are totally stupid and vulgar mentality .we even today fighting on religion which doesnt had real existence and fight for nothing.even religious people are not folllowing his religion .No one has patience to hear my words so still i am silent about it because pakistani people are so much extremist love to you and guide people to that track which is looking sensible

Do not delay til it is too late, please. Today is a good day for Salvation. SHLM & HaB (peace & love). The Name of the Creator is Hayah asher Hayah, as what He told Mose (Exodus 3:14), preserved in the Hebrew Scriptures. There is a curse to the G-o-d name (Isaiah 65:11-12), preserved in the Hebrew Scriptures. All followers of the Messiah are to do the 7 appointed times (Leviticus 23), but no more animal sacrifices, following the Crucifixion of the Messiah. We are now of the order of MLK TSDQ (King, righteous), to Whom ABRaHM tithed. Ask the Messiah to be your personal Savior. He is the Atoning Offering for mankind for the remission of sin ( 1 John 2:1-2). He said to him, I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me (John 14:6). If you believe the Messiah died on the cross, & Resurrected three days later (presenting Himself as First Fruits to the Father), please ask Him to be your Savior. He is the ONLY way to Everlasting Life.
