robert punu That was taken from a video that was promoting helping the environment and trying to lower trash production. He was using "closed system" as in "our trash won't be leaving Earth", which is debatable but it's still important to produce as little waste as possible. Geocentrism still has a lot to explain, like how we can launch probes to Saturn which apparently moves at 1/3 the speed of sound and how the Coriolis effect works. The second law of thermodynamics states that any closed system will move towards a state of entropy over time, so I think the argument you're trying to put forth is that evolution should be pushing towards simpler organisms and thus complex things couldn't arise from it? Which is false to anyone who has read the wikipedia page about evolution as selective pressures exist. I don't know what this has to do with that Bill Nye clip though, could you explain what you meant by your argument?

It can change forms and neither can be created or destroyed. Creation cannot happen by natural means. The 2LT has various aspects, one being the universe is winding down, entropy. Usable energy is becoming less usable, so at one point usable energy was at its max. This all points to a supernatural creation, by a supernatural creator at a certain point in which matter, space and time were created. When I read how it can happen otherwise, ALL the fools resort to science-fiction. Once a supernatural creation is accepted, then the next step is finding proof of what supernatural power did it.

Dear Professor Dawkins, As an ex-christian I am so grateful that I got to know your work (thanks to Floor Jansen & Nightwish for that). I have learned and am still learning so much from you. As a child growing up in a very conservative Christian community in the Netherlands, I was taught nothing about evolution, except all those false and misguiding one-liners that you dismantle one by one, just like in this video. I am reading your book 'The greatest show on Earth' now (just finished the chapter about the not-missing link) and I love it. Apart from all the knowledge you bestow upon us, I also feel truly inspired by the words you spoke at the show of Nightwish. After I quit my faith (I didn't lose it, I quit) I had a very hard time finding a purpose in life, but also in finding comfort during times of hardship (which being brought up in this religious dogmas was the main cause for). You have offered me both and I am forever grateful. Your work will always live on, you have brought the world so much. Thank you so much. 💚💚💚Kind regards from the Netherlands 💚💚💚

AS a matter of fact, the earliest hominid fossils come from the great rift valley of Africa. which is split in half by a massive mountain range. Today one side of that range is covered in tropical forest, and the other side is open Savannah (plains, grasslands, etc) fossils of plants and animals show that at one time those mountains didn't exist, and that the entire region was tropical forest. Continental drift caused the mountain range to form, effectively cutting off most of the rain to one side. that side became grassland as the forest died out. and any animals who couldn't adapt died out too. the earliest human ancestors appear on the Savannah side of the mountains, while chimpanzees and gorillas survive on the forest side. one of the first human traits to evolve was walking and standing upright. in a world with long grass, very few trees, and lots of large predators like lions, leopards, hyena, and prehistoric species like Dinofelis. being able to spot them early and from a safe distance would have been a huge advantage. humans are the result of evolution due to environmental change, they had to adapt to a completely alien habitat with new dangers, and opportunities their forest dwelling relatives never had to deal with. it was pressure and competition to change that shaped human kind. and like any species we branched out into several species. but only one still survives today.

Shut up! Richard Dawkins teaches the universe came from "literally nothing." Real science says nothing does nothing. Real science says if there was something there already it must fit with the evidence of what we know. We know the 1LT says there's a conservation of energy. It can change forms and neither can be created or destroyed. Creation cannot happen by natural means. The 2LT has various aspects, one being the universe is winding down, entropy. Usable energy is becoming less usable, so at one point usable energy was at its max. This all points to a supernatural creation, by a supernatural creator at a certain point in which matter, space and time were created. When I read how it can happen otherwise, ALL the fools resort to science-fiction. Once a supernatural creation is accepted, then the next step is finding proof of what supernatural power did it. We can't get anything from "literally nothing." We can't even get science without God. The laws of nature only can come from a Lawgiver, God. God is the reason for us and all we have. kzread.info/dash/bejne/fJ2B09yHj7y5iLg.html “However improbable the origin of life might be, we know it happened on Earth because we are here.” -Richard Dawkins.

But if you only bring some few examples to show the tendencies they claim there are so much missing links thatwe cannot be sure. And considering how often we thought some early humanoid was our ancestor which then came out to be a cousin, or in the case of the neanderthal human, were a cousin with whome some of our grannies had sex with, and he thus is a cousin who is also an ancestor to some of us (and no, low intelligence is not the heritage, it is an adaptation to various infections of european continent, together with a tendency to larger muscle groth and denser bones, a overall bigger more muscular body and maybe also a tendency to have more and longer body hair). They rightfully say so. Or better said... they would be right if those evidences picked to craft an overall picture were the only actual existing ones.

The common misunderstanding reveals that people have a false intuition about evolution (maybe caused by that diagram of "improvement" from small ape to big man) that it's function is to "improve" a species to a "higher" form. No. Selection makes an animal better suited to its environment, it offers no promises that there's an ultimate goal of "fully evolved" (human) that is a human conceit, our imagined self importance.

I think what people mean to ask when they ask this is: if we’re related how did we split into two different species and evolve completely differently right along side each other. how does that actually happen?

What's interesting is the human belief that we're above all other animals. Of course this belief was passed down in religious teaching, the idea that we were entrusted by God to be a steward over other animals. But of course, we are just animals ourselves. It's hard for human beings to accept that. Perhaps because if we admit our animal nature too much, society might become more animalistic and less civil. But anyway, we are animals, of course.

the question i am asking myself as a physicist, why are we far more intelligent in our thought process than our monkey cousins, why are we so different than them, since all of them look alike, yet we are totally different in looks, characteristics, instincts, social behavior,its beyond my understanding, i believe in evolution, but i dont share the idea that monkeys and we share the same ancestors, yes we do have some common things to share but this explosing difference makes it hard to believe why we managed to evolve so dramatically, yet they are still on the same level,and look alike, do you have any answer

I'd have thought a more common question would be, why is there such divergence, and where are the missing links, and how did they evolve so separately? I know, genetically speaking, there's very little between them, but these would be my noob questions.

what this video does not show you is the wealth of transitional fossils between the common ancestor and modern humans, so many that in between some established fossil species are fossils who's placement we still can't decide because it's micro differences put it inbetween already established fossils (ref. sima de los heusos humans, homo rhodensis, homo ergastor). homo naledi was an exciting find that has human skull features with small 'ape like' primitive cranium and a more australopithicine like body in some respects. then there are australopithicines, kenyanthropus and ardipithicus all with a collection of features more like that of homo genus than the pan genus. Please research these fossils before deciding that there are no "missing links" between us and our fellow ape cousins.

Hate to tell you but most Christians are not even Christians. Nevertheless this video, and it's total speculation about a "unknown common ancestor?" And the one where Dawkins says "we may have been intelligently designed Aliens but they would have come from a planet where they evolved through a Darwinist process" speaks volumes of prejudice, not science, but scientism.. Darwin's finches were always finches, before he saw them, and will continue to be finches, unless they go extinct no matter how much their beaks change. People talk about needing to believe in evolution, single cell, to worm, to fish, to common ancestor, to man as essential to understand things like germ theory. Really? while bacteria, and viruses, can develop resistance to antibiotics, and attempts to eradicate them, they remain, what they always were, and will be germs. Variation within a species does not prove macro evolution. Otherwise germs would have evolved into something completely different long ago. But on the other hand politicians may prove an exception?

+barry nicholas So what are you trying to say? that everyone's favourite imaginary friend in the sky, had a great idea along the lines of " I know, I think I'll make a universe with thousands of galaxies and hundreds of galaxies and just on one, I'll place an animal in my image that can just go through history killing each other in my name"

michael crow Wow, you have a vivid imagination on what I am 'trying to say'. I have no idea how everything started, why we are here or what is the purpose. However I don't make it all up like the Dawkins thinking he actually knows.....NO ONE KNOWS, it is all guess work.

This is so astonishing and fascinating it makes me feel proud of being an animal, a living thing. Almost like going to the zoo and hugging a Bonobo and say "Hey, cousin! I'm proud of ya!!!'
