These are my own impressions of that debate sans additional details already covered by GreatBigBore on his playlist: The original video was restored, but included a rather embarrassing error, the inclusion of a Silurian fish as though it were Cambrian. So I have swapped the original video for this one. www.youtube.com
Source for 7:30 ~? I will try google, though.
@Mogley52 WOW! What twisted thinking you have. I guess you will die a fool
Aaron. Like Hitchens, you are(dare I say) a god among men…
A gentleman and a scholar…
These religious nut just don’t get it. The fundamental tenet of atheism is “WE DON’T CARE! Take it else where.” We don’t have any beliefs to apologise for…
There are many creationists who spout crap out of ignorance or misinformation. Dembski, however, is just a fucking liar.
I like your comment at the end “…it[the bible] tells you to believe something beyond reason, without reason and against all reason…”, can I quote you on it?
@gunnerfan87
LMAO
The dislike bar is the size of Dembski’s brain.
But… even if they seem flattened in debate, or ashamed of their failings, it works to their advantage among the faithful who pity their brave opposition, and praise them for “fighting the good fight.” They CAN’T lose, because they belong yo the club; which is the point, they are only preaching to the choir, to make sure they will sing next Sunday.
Drivel like Dembski’s is easy to come by, and it’s interesting that practitioners of his sort don’t improve with their advanced degrees - the PhDs are virtually undistinguishable from their unlettered preachers (except, sometimes, in tone). They are impervious to thought.
Someone needs to lay the banhammer down on @mogley52 All you do is flood the comments of every religious/atheist video with the same cut and paste drivel. At least TRY to say something original and/or relevant to the conversation.
@Mogley52 Well, does anyone claim stars never ever ever collided in the past? Didn’t think so.
@Mogley52 the origin of the universe is not explainable by evolution because it is a theory of biology! This seems like a severe case of ’science doesn’t know it (yet), therefore GODDIDIT’.
@Mogley52 well boo fucking hoo that they won’t debate them. I guess that MUST mean they’re wrong?
@Mogley52 a ‘common designer’ is not very logical. That has been known for, oh, about two centuries?
@Mogley52 What’s your evidence? Would you show a simple chordate and say it doesn’t have all our genes, therefore we couldn’t have evolved from a chordate? Come now.
@Mogley52 yes, some fossils are millions of years old.
@Mogley52 there were no ‘finfeet’. Rather, fins most likely became like those of mudskippers.
@Mogley52 There is, educate yourself.
@Mogley52 You don’t know that.
@Mogley52 “That beginning had to be supernatural because natural laws have no ability to bring the universe into existence from nothing.”
Physicists disagree. Simply asserting something doesn’t make it true.
@Mogley52
I guess that’s one way of reconciling the conflict that arises between what you think is morally right and what the Bible says.
@Mogley52 FUCK YOU.
