As Richard Feynman said, religion is a culture of faith, science is a culture of doubt. It is that doubt that drives scientist like myself in doing more work. We are never completely sure on anything. Building on that some more Dawkins tries to connect science and religion and use science to attempt to squash religion. They are completely separate issues. Not related. Religion is faith based. You can be religious and scientific at the same time. Several of my colleagues are. What I recognize is that Dawkins, in the 80s was ok, but since the 90s has been an embarrassment to science.

I've heard Theists suggest that Evolution was created by God. How likely is it that God would create a system where he would have to wait 4.5 billion years before our brains were large enough for the guilt trip?

Scientific theories are not called "theories" because they are humble. Not at all. In mathematics, it's called a theorem. Like Pythagoras's theorem of right-angled triangles. In Biology we just use the word Theory to explain a set of observed proven facts. The word "theory" that JUST HAPPENS to also have a 2nd different meaning in ordinary English which means....a hunch, or idea.

Wow. How can a nation that is as scientifically advanced as the US still be debating the God vs evolution thing? You'd be considered a lunatic for being a Creationist here in Britain. It's the 21st Century for crying out loud. This is just too weird - beyond embarrassing.

I had voracious arguments with ignorant individuals whom claim evolution is merely a imbedded theory, not fact. This assertion is silly and usually inanely backed by inane evidence and constricts the very basic foundation of the definition of science: which is based of hypothesis, theories based and imbedded through research, observation, collectivity. Science does a great job at finding all evidence possible for scientific observation and research, but to call a fact a theory and assert that its a false theory as well is ridiculous especially in our day and age research is at the touch of our figures! To not educate yourself on an array of beneficial evidence online, in books, on documentaries and then make counter-assertions with inane assertions is anti-scientific and should not be taken with seriously...

In ANY country in Europe (even Italy, the home of modern Catholocism), if a political candidate asserted that he /she did not believe in evolution (300 or so years after we got over these stupid religious doctrinal positions - and at least 20 years after evolution was proven as a FACT, with DNA, chemical and fossil evidence ) - the candidate would not even find him or herself on the ballot paper - the electorate would not tolerate such ignorance, moronic stupidity and religious bigotry - Come on our US friends and allies - step up to the plate! ...and had Tony Blair admited to The UK that he was "talking to God " - and that God was "answering back," we would never have got into this mess (because he would NEVER have been elected in 1997 - which is why he kept his faith quiet until after he had quit .

One has to admit that science is part of the problem regarding the confusion with the term "theory." One BIG example of this is string theory which is not yet a theory. It does belong to a branch of theoretical physics, maybe that is where it gets its name, but according to the definition of a scientific theory, string theory is not a theory... yet.

Every single candidate, just before they open their mouth, they think "right, what do I need to say to make me more electable". Then they open their mouths.

My 1 yr old daughter is smarter than the average republican.

"NOOO! NOT QUESTIONABLE, NOT AUTISM!"~another great Kyle Kulinski quote. That one almost made me fall out of bed

hey kyle, have you done any segments on a channel called spirit science?

In regards to "scientific arrogance", Sam Harris counters that idiotic trope the best. He has said numerous times that science teaches a level of humility unheard of in most fields of discourse.

Christianity has no conflict with science idk why they say that we do.

"Fucking space fairies and shit" omfg I died

The way I was taught to understand a "theory" is that it is something that is just as powerful as law, but merely can't be observed. My teacher gave the example that the LAW of Gravity is a LAW because any of us can drop a pencil and observe gravity take effect. The Big Bang Theory(not the show) however, is only a theory because we have an overwhelming amount of evidence, a lot of times even MORE than which we can provide for laws, that can back up this event. The only reason it isn't law is because we didn't actually observe it directly. A lot of people say that a theory is a theory, not a law, because we can still add to it or change. It is true that a theory can be changed but so can a law, we can always add things. A law and a theory can always have things added to them or even have their entire names changed but they are both FACT and even if we add on, or change something, it's only in the process of what we already KNOW is happening. A theory is just as, if not stronger, than a law because it is actively being looked into and articulated. To say a theory is the same thing as a hypothesis, is just so wrong. There is something called the God hypothesis though so they might want to look into that. So yeah, that's what I was taught at least lol

Why is this a discussion held only in the US (and islamic states)? It's a non-issue in Europe. You are basically done if you display such idiotic behavior. It's like saying "I firmly believe in fairies and the easter bunny". When did the society in the US dumb down to this scary degree?

I would love to see Richard Dawkins confront "dr" Zakir Naik, a Muslim televangelist who says evolution is wrong because "it's just a theory"

I agree. Dawkins can't quite grasp the depth and breadth of the anti-intellectualism on the right. It's too foreign for him to accept. He gives them, including that idiot Ben Carson, way to much credit.

Dawkins is also a staunch supporter for Social Democracy as well! He should help us push for Stem Cell Research!

I have a couple questions for the religious: 1.Would not an all-knowing omniscient 'God' know in advance which Angels would 'revolt' and therefore not even create them? 2. Would not an all-knowing, omniscient 'God' know in advance when one tells a woman NOT to do something she most certainly will DO that very thing?

Debating creationists is like playing chess with a pigeon, the knock over the pieces, shit on the board and strut around like they won the game

Theory stands ABOVE 'fact' in levels of intellectual integrity, because a sound theory explains WHY the facts are what they are. A sound theory will also suggest new facts, which, if subsequently discovered to be true... mean that the theory itself is true, and, in its turn, becomes a matter of fact. This predictive process has happened hundreds of times in the case of Evolution. That is why we can be so CERTAIN it is true AND factual.

I take acceptation to kyle saying "there is bad science and there is good science". There is no such thing as 'bad science'! If it is proven wrong it is still science and leads scientists in another direction. Einsteins last 'theory' was proven wrong but that is the beauty of science, because it was Einstein scientists assumed it was worth checking into which led to another 'hypothesis' being evaluated. All I am saying is that science simply boils down to the process of elimination and Kyle should avoid using the term 'bad science' as it is a favorite amongst creatards and fundies.

Isn't this form of willful ignorance relatively recent phenomena in Republican conservative politics? I cannot imagine Barry Goldwater or even Richard Nixon having anything in common with the current slate of Republican candidates

Dawkins has stated many times he is a 6.9 on his own scale.

I am glad that you had showed more good news again. I should look up his book the next time I go to a library.

The United States National Academy of Sciences defines scientific theories as follows: "The formal scientific definition of theory is quite different from the everyday meaning of the word. It refers to a comprehensive explanation of some aspect of nature that is supported by a vast body of evidence. Many scientific theories are so well established that no new evidence is likely to alter them substantially. For example, no new evidence will demonstrate that the Earth does not orbit around the sun (heliocentric theory), or that living things are not made of cells (cell theory), that matter is not composed of atoms, or that the surface of the Earth is not divided into solid plates that have moved over geological timescales (the theory of plate tectonics)...One of the most useful properties of scientific theories is that they can be used to make predictions about natural events or phenomena that have not yet been observed." From the American Association for the Advancement of Science: "A scientific theory is a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world, based on a body of facts that have been repeatedly confirmed through observation and experiment. Such fact-supported theories are not "guesses" but reliable accounts of the real world. The theory of biological evolution is more than "just a theory." It is as factual an explanation of the universe as the atomic theory of matter or the germ theory of disease. Our understanding of gravity is still a work in progress. But the phenomenon of gravity, like evolution, is an accepted fact."

The wonderful thing about Richard Dawkins is that he is always polite and doesn't feel the need to weep, say a god chatted to him while he was taking a shit the night before or to pretend having a seizure is appropriate in a public setting.

Arkansas atheist here... Hello

Yeah he also "took down" a kid who built a clock ,he sounded jealous & more pissed off

Conscious ignorance is one of the scariest movements in modern times

Please leave a link to original in description.

"Blah blah blah kuuz Jeezuz"....hahahahaha

"space fairies 'n shit".. ha ha love it.

Seriously, what's with the double micro-phone thing?

Mr. Dawkins only re-states what I was taught as an undergrad Anthropology major. To be clear, the word "fact" was not yet used pre-1970 but the department head said to our class in no uncertain terms that while he did not *believe * in evolution ... nevertheless he *accepted * the evidence as *valid * ... until overturned by a PREPONDERANCE of evidence that REFUTES it. . . This is what basic science is all about. And I am grateful for having the opportunity to get a quality education. And I would do it all over again. Too many still believe ignorance is a virtue. And those that do are without question dangerous. ...TG I am not one of them..

Dawkins didn't say he was a 60% disbeliever, he rated himself at 6 of 7 in his scale of disbelief. Not 6 of 10.

In the ninth grade I was taught and fully understood the difference between a theory and a hypothesis, and that was in the early sixties, were the hell has the U.S. educational system gone?

An email I sent to Oxford administration: ‘I am writing to express my outrage at Richard Dawkins’ recent statements regarding the youth Ahmed Mohamed. In the context of discussing Mr. Mohamed, a boy falsely accused of bringing a bomb into his school, Professor Dawkins made a deliberately ambiguous reference to a small child forced to commit an atrocity. Although Professor Dawkins may insist that he was not comparing Ahmed Mohamed to the small child victimized by Daesh, the original remark was cryptic enough to encourage such an interpretation. It is plain that Richard Dawkins was intending for people to make this interpretation, despite any of his denials to the contrary. Making matters worse, he added a comment later indicating that the child victimized by Daesh is guilty and deserves criticism. It should be apparent that a small child, evidently roughly 10 years of age, forced to commit a beheading is himself a victim. The awfulness of Richard Dawkins’ behavior is remarkably rich, for in attacking Ahmed Mohamed he is attacking a young person with a clear interest in technology. This sort of criticism coming from a well-established scientist is especially sadistic. Adding insult to injury, Professor Dawkins questions the IQ of those who criticize him. I can only respond by quoting Ludwig Wittgenstein (who may have been quoting someone else, in turn): “What matters is the heart. Any old turnip will do for a head.”’

Yeah I hate how people don't know the difference between Theory and theory.

Kyle debating Milo needs to happen

I find it amusing that as Dawkins is speaking, there's a snippet about antibiotic resistance in American Hospitals scrolling at the bottom. It is almost poetic.

Rand Paul said in an interview with Chris Matthews and I quote "of course we evolved", so no Fareed not all candidates deny evolution

Anyone that tells you that evolution is just a theory, does not know what a scientific theory is, or does not want you to.

Best explanation I heard is that scientific theory means explanation for. When theories have overwhelming data to support them, like gravity, we all intents and purposes treat them as fact.

I like, the fact is what, the law is how, the theory is why.
