The event took place on the UC Berkeley campus in Wheeler Auditorium, and was completely sold out. A line of hopeful attendees stretched around the side of the building, waiting to see if there would be any ‘no-show’ tickets at the last minute! There was a Q&A session that followed the talk, which will be posted to the site soon. Camera by Josh Timonen and Wayne Marsala Edited by Josh Timonen

@Eye2EyeIIIV So you’re saying Richard Dawkins haven’t visited your channel? Why should he?
I got a question for you. Is your channel free from false witnessing against evolution?
You don’t?! Right then, god did it
Oh religious people.
Fuckyourself Eye
And? That makes evolution invalid? Or abiogenesis?
The fact that we don’t know yet everything invalidates everything we know and found out to be true?
“I’m an atheist with respect to the Judeo-Christian God, because there is not a shred of EVIDENCE in favor of the Judeo-Christian God.”
~ Richard Dawkins
…Dawkins, that’s because you have not visited my channel.
were all in the same boat and lifes and deaths inevitable and were all in the same boat. THATS comfort. fuck god. theri puppets for a bunch of ego obsessed megalomaniacs who hypnotise thier audience with their own fantasy novels for thier own organisations. these religions breed their audiences as members and forcing parents to pass the cancer on new generations under false threat of eternal torture. if that doesnt sound like an evil man made phenomon then i dont know what the hell does.
existence is more likely to have been just, provoked. inadvertently by some reaction or something from beyond the universe. actual intentional creation from some entity seems very very wrong. people dont need this false comfort as much these days, and we need to remove religious influence from unneccessary priviledge and authory in politcs. people get comfort from the simple fact that were continually finding new truths and putting more pieces into the puzzle.
Beautiful. Glad we got that worked out.
I see your point. I agree that natural selection answers where the origins of life begin. I don’t put it on the theory of natural selection to explain where existence comes from. However, until scientists can show where existence comes from, they will never be able to rule out a designer.
I am an atheist myself, however, I accept that until a designer can be disproven, or an answer to the origin of existence itself is found, a designer cannot be ruled out.
Indeed, but that is hardly the fault of the theory of natural selection.
The theories of gravity are not challenged on the grounds that they do not explain the origins of the universe, because it is an entirely different field of science involved. Same idea with natural selection.
Evolution doesn’t try to explain origins, and it doesn’t need to, because it only comes into effect once life arises. You’re meshing together several theories to create the illusion of a conflict.
See what I mean?
@Bringerofdeath
It only has a beginning so far as life forms come from lifeless matter. However, it is now faced with the problem of WHERE the lifeless matter comes from.
I’m not disputing that it clearly explains the beginning of life forms. I’m disputing that it doesn’t help us understand where the inanimate matter which creates life forms comes from
Exactly. Natural selection, therefore, does not have the issue of infinite regress, because it clearly has a set beginning.
The fact that scientists have yet to develop an equally strong theory on the origins of the universe (although there are several interesting ones) does not then count as a mark against the theory of natural selection.
We have natural selection, and we have abiogenesis. We’re simply missing the origin., but we’re working on it.
What does religion have? A bloody book.
@Bringerofdeath9753
Abiogenesis explains the origin of life forms, but it doesn’t answer where the inanimate (non-living) matter comes from
Which is where abiogenesis enters the picture. Check it out, tis pretty nifty.
Natural selection also faces the same problem with infinite regress
your channel is such bullshit, all your arguments suppose the existence of god, you can’t even look past the object you’re trying to prove
you’ve been indoctrinated. wake up.
well its a pretty useless conclusion
The universe is the universe. I don’t see why atheistic scientists and religious scientists can’t form the same conclusion.
hahaha you hit the nail on the head
I agree 100%
That why they shouldn’t teach “Intellgent design” in schools.
Reglious has no place in schools just as facts have no place in organised relgion
Scientist dont teach evoultion in church.
It would be fair to expect that people dont teach “intelligent design” in schools
you don’t have to be a cook to feed me.
you don’t have to be a philosopher to deal with the god issue.
philosophers? they can talk about what they want. but do they prove their statement to be true? or can they?
never. you need science to prove.
The Bible is the word of God only for Christians and Jews. Disproving the Bible’s nonsensical empirical claims doesn’t amount to anything from a philosophical perspective because if God were an existent being, presumably his existence wouldn’t be dependent on some rediculous book. The point im driving at is that we need to evaluate the concept of God independently of the Bible, or religous dogmas, or the prophets, etc. Disproving the Bible only takes a jab at Christians and jews, not God.
Most Christians understand the Athiest arguments for why they don’t believe in God but they can never accept that position because it would mean denying the personal connection with God that they’ve experienced.
Christians explain that intellectual investigation isn’t how you make that connection but Atheists prefer to do what they know doesn’t work, so that they can continue to tell Christians the reasons why there is no God!
Watch the new “Atheist Girl vs Christian Girl” video on my channel.
But we can look at the bible and disprove everything it says from a historical, geological, and scientific perspective. And since the bible is the word of god, we can assume that either god is full of BS, or he doesn’t exist.
