Wow, so those losers are your treasures. Poor loser you. 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.

As a Christian, I love Dawkins. I spent so long hearing Christians talk about how he's evil and all that malarky but once you sit down and actually listen to him, you realise that regardless of where you stand on Religion, he isn't evil at all. He's a polite, kind and generous man who shows a lot of respect to his opponents in debate even when they don't show it to him. His debates with Professor Jon Lennox are brilliant. Both brilliant people. A fine example of how people can show respect and admiration for one another despite strongly disagreeing.

@@2fast2block "Richard Dawkins teaches the universe came from "literally nothing." No he doesn't. Creation out of literal nothing is a religious concept. It isn't really advocated for by anyone else. "Real science says nothing does nothing." Science offers no commentary of 'nothing', since we don't have a 'nothing' in order to examine it and see what it is or isn't capable. "We know the 1LT says there's a conservation of energy." That applies to our local presentation of the universe. It may not necessarily apply to whatever state the universe existed prior to the Big Bang (if 'prior' to the Big Bang is even a coherent concept). "Creation cannot happen by natural means." Woooooooooa there, buddy. You're going to have to join the dots there, because nothing you said up until this point justifies that assertion. "This all points to a supernatural creation, by a supernatural creator at a certain point in which matter, space, and time were created." ......No....it doesn't. Again: Nothing you've said up until this point justifies that assertion. Please justify it now. Preferable with evidence that supports that supernatural creator (and you've got a long way to go in order to get there). But heck, I'd settle for a syllogism. Because if you think you've made one, you haven't. "When I read how it can happen otherwise, ALL the fools resort to science-fiction." The guy who is accusing other people of "resorting to science fiction" is resorting to literal MAGIC as part of his own 'explanation'.....yeah.. "Once a supernatural creation is accepted, then the next step is finding proof of what supernatural power did it." Well sure, if you just accept that "magic exists" then you can make up whatever explanation you want. But I actually care whether or not the explanation is true, not just whether you can make something up. "We can't get anything from "literally nothing."" Prove it? How many nothings have you examined? "We can't even get science without God. The laws of nature only can come from a Lawgiver, God." Okay, you seriously need to read something other than creationist apologetics websites. Because your "arguments" barely rise to the level I would expect from facebook memes. You just jump from one unfounded assertion and non-sequitur to another, and you don't even appear to know how to MAKE an argument, let alone how to make one that's valid and sound. You've just posted up a gish-gallop of nonsense without making any attempt to justify even ONE of your assertions. Please do so now.

@@seraphinaaizen6278 just one of your loser replies... "No he doesn't. Creation out of literal nothing is a religious concept. It isn't really advocated for by anyone else." Hawking, "Because there is a law such as gravity, the universe can and will create itself from nothing," he writes. "Spontaneous creation is the reason there is something rather than nothing, why the universe exists, why we exist." Richard Dawkins sums it up in his afterword: “Even the last remaining trump card of the theologian, ‘Why is there something rather than nothing?,’ shrivels up before your eyes as you read these pages. If ‘On the Origin of Species’ was biology’s deadliest blow to super­naturalism, we may come to see ‘A Universe From Nothing’ as the equivalent from cosmology. The title means exactly what it says. And what it says is ­devastating.” Dawkins' "literally nothing": kzfaq.info/get/bejne/i7pjl8mBtMqliYk.html Lawrence Krauss wrote a book A Universe From Nothing that is something he prefers to call nothing. A nothing with space, matter, and time that somehow created space, matter, and time. Krauss, “Some of this bothers people. But who cares? Quantum mechanics is illogical-just get over it.” “But scientists have known for centuries that nothing is the key to understanding absolutely everything, from why particles have mass to the expansion of the universe - so without nothing we’d be precisely nowhere.” (New Scientist Promotions, 21 October 2013) “We started from literally nothing; from empty spacetime containing solely the energy of the quantum vacuum, and have arrived at our Universe today, with its billions of galaxies, stars, and all that ever was or will be here on Earth. (The Physics of Nothing; The Philosophy of Everything, August 16, 2011) Alan Guth, “The universe burst into something from absolutely nothing-zero, nada. And as it got bigger, it became filled with even more stuff that came from absolutely nowhere." Yes, you are a liar and a loser. You're happy about that.

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.

The argument at 10:18 is a key one, distinguishing between 'people who happen to be religious' and religious thinking itself-deliberately and hypersensitively confusing the two is a defense mechanism to protect religion from criticism. Then (vaguely) touching on the idea that belief without evidence combined with an arbitrary personal interpretation-which mild mainstream religion teaches-guarantees, across a population, that some people will do harmful things precisely in the name of religion. We see it all the time, both extreme and also non-violent cases. And your comment about how the difficult problems mentioned are currently uncertain: the god-of-the-gaps religious types just love that because that's the only place they can smuggle the godly non-explanation back in. There are plenty of video clips of Dawkins talking about this. Even as little as a few years ago, various 'knowledge gaps' had god smuggled in (e.g. the bacterial flagellum), and we've filled them in with science, and the religious advocators have had to admit they were wrong. They move on to another gap. A god is never required. As Dawkins points out in other videos, a complex origin (a god) is a non-starter because you're left with the same unanswered question: what is the origin of that complexity? Complexity comes late in the universe; origins are always simple self-explanations (albeit sometimes hard to figure out).

Deepak Chopra has a lot of valid and interesting things to say on the subject of philosophy (especially Eastern philosophy). His quotes in this genre are useful and sometimes profound. But he is dramatically out of his depth when talking about actual sciences, such as evolutionary biology or cosmology. That he has the confidence to debate anyone on these topics is remarkable. If you care to submit yourself to anything he has to say in such debates, you'll see his technique is to bring a figurative velvet bag of pseudoscientific, new-age words borrowed from his lectures on meditation, pick 3 or 4 at random, and string them into a sentence. He rarely draws breath without using the words "Trascendental", "Spiritual", or "Oneness". If you ask me the only people who applaud his statements are those pretending to know what on Earth he's talking about. This stuff has a place, but it's not in scientific debate.

So far as one of their greatest song is called "The Greatest Show On Earth" which is a whole story of "the creation of the universe and humankind" according Dawkins. He is personally "performing" with the band like in live concert on Wembley Arena in England. And he is "speaking" his famous quotes in their songs. Or another very famous scientist Eugene Shoemaker like in their song "Shoemaker". He is the only human (so far) whose ashes are buried on the moon (well not all of the ashes).

In the past, whenever we attributed something we didn't understand to a god, and later came to understand that it wasn't a god, we would adjust our knowledge base accordingly, as we should. Whenever we attributed something to a scientifically proven solution to a mystery, at no point ever has it been the case that we later discovered that we were wrong, and that it was attributable to a god after all. Not once. That should tell us everything we need to know to become skeptical about everything religions tell us. It's not enough to ask if it is true... we must ask how is it true!

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.

He also says about being an Athiest. I'm an Athiest and so I don't believe in 6000 Gods, as a religious person you believe in one God and don't believe in 5,999 Gods. I don't believe in one more God than you. So in essence a religious person is just a less committed Athiest :)

@@margaretnicol3423 I say Big Bird from Sesame Street created the universe and would argue that Big Bird had to be there before the universe could be created. And the strange thing is, that my logic is following yours. So you can't deny the validity of my point without contradicting yourself.

I hate the loser and losers who follow his lies. 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.

Would love to see your take on Sam Harris. He was probably my favorite alongside Hitchens. He completely convinced me to try some stuff outside my comfort zone. Hitch was definitely more fun to listen to, but I probably learned much more from Harris.

Great clips, but this definitely wasn't the best of Dawkins. One of my favourite clips is the epic reaction when a girl asks him "what if you're wrong" (South Park even did a skit based on it!). You should also react to Richard reading out his hate mail - it's hilarious! And if you can resist the urge to scream, watch the one with the "show me the evidence" woman who doesn't think evolution is real.

​@@2fast2block You say "We can't get anything from 'literally nothing'", yet in the same breath you tell us stories about how a magical being poofed the universe into existence out of nothing. I can see why this level of cognitive dissonance would leave you deranged 😂 You're also wrong about Richard Dawkins - he's an evolutionary biologist, not a cosmologist. His area of expertise goes as far back as the origins of life on Earth, not the universe. True, he often mentions the latest theories of the origin of the universe, but inflation theory doesn't propose the universe popping into existence out of nothing - just that the universe was previously much smaller than it is today. With big bang theory, even a singularity is not "nothing". At the moment nobody (including you) knows what happened prior to the big bang. It might not even make sense to talk about "prior" to the big bang if time also began at that point. It could be just as silly as asking "what's north of the north pole".
