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

Religion just got OWNED
Anyone know what he’s mouthing at 4:19 ?
“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.
and you have yet to prove the origin of all physical nature…the origin of matter and energy still cannot be proven by natural selection, or any science for that matter. The argument isn’t that simple….
It’s the forming of the hypothesis that’s the problem. Karl Popper’s ‘falsibility’
The Logical Positivists would say that any statement that cannot be tested, even in principle, is not a statement at all, as it’s truth or falsehood would have no detectable consiquences. It would be meaningless.
gamesbok, you have to remember, just because they can’t at this moment provide evidence that would be a Creator, besides the typical “creation evidence”, doesn’t mean one doesn’t exist. Just ike with science, they should give out God, or any creator, as a hypothesis, then find evidence and test it, if testing it is possible, before they make their conclusion. Remember, one might exist, just so far one is not required for what we’ve discovered and explained and one most likely doesn’t exist ^_^
Question: Why is the kettle boiling?
Atheist answer: Because the water’s been heated to 100 degrees centigrade resulting in a change in state from liquid to gas.
Christian answer: Because I want to have some tea.
For more about how Atheists and Christians interpret evidence very differently, check out my channel.
There is an assertion of God, but not a theory, it explains nothing.
The alternative universes you propose would not not allow you to make such remarks. This universe IS the universe, and no designer is required. You have yet to propose the orgiin of your designer.
Richard Dawkins should watch this!

4:22 may be the most awesome thing I have witnessed in my entire life!
If there is a hell, I hope I go there so I can hang out with Richard Dawkins. He is cool!
“A lot of the religious texts have been corrupted by people and their interests, yet the only one in my opinion which hasnt changed is the koran.”
Oh, I am so surprised…
Why do creationists continuously look at things backwards. Life exists BECAUSE of these conditions. These conditions are not adjusted or made for our benefit. Instead, we have adjusted to them and have to continue adjusting to them. This continual adaption is all that ensures our existence. The “signs” you recognise are recognition of existence, not God.
People DO believe in signs of god. That’s the entire problem. I’m really disappointed to see you, as a man of science, believing this irrational nonsense. Which god do you believe in? Please just answer me that.
My point is that the universe and us could not exist without a design. Of course evolution is true, god designed the universe and set the rules. He made the game, and evolution is just the players in action. We see signs of evolution, but not proof. Why cant people believe in signs of god? I say there is a theory of god.
What is the point? Don’t you think it a much more reasonable assumption that the universe and everything in it gets on just fine without any supernatural interference? Do you seriously believe in intelligent design and not the obvious truth of evolution? I think that if you are suggesting the former then it is you who is spouting crackpot nonsense. Which god do you believe in? Thor, Zeus, Allah, Ra etc. etc………..?
Why do you think the universe is precisely expanding at the rate it is? What I mean is that if it were expanding a millionth faster the density of hydrogen gas would not be sufficient for life to form. If it was a millionth slower, then the universe would collapse too fast not allowing life to form. I suggest you go research these topics before spouting nonsense. The signs are that of those of an intelligent design to the universe. Go research this topic, i have a few more to tell you after.
What the hell are you talking about? How can science possibly verify the signs (whatever they are) of an imaginary superbeing??!!! If anything it proves the improbability of said superbeings’ existence. By the way, you know nothing about me or have any idea what I do for a living.
Who says you cant believe in science and god? Science verifies the signs of god. Im a better physicist than you, thats for sure.
Then you can’t be a very good one
what does he mouth at 4:20?
ehm…. NO!
Stop labeling scientific ideas with your dumb religious bullshit!
There is no god, you religous freaks, please get over it.
Could the multiverse univerise theories be infact hinting at a heaven and a hell…? Hmm
