00:00:00
this is not click bait the conversation
00:00:02
that you're about to listen to is 100
00:00:03
real it's from a documentary called
00:00:05
expelled I'm going to go ahead and play
00:00:06
the clip now so that you can hear
00:00:08
Richard Dawkins in his own words with
00:00:10
the full and proper context explaining
00:00:12
something that is honestly shocking and
00:00:14
the implications of it are absolutely
00:00:16
massive I will explain those
00:00:18
implications on the back end but for now
00:00:20
let's go ahead and dive into this clip
00:00:21
you have written that God is a psychotic
00:00:24
delinquent invented by mad deluded
00:00:26
people
00:00:27
no I didn't say quite that I said
00:00:29
something rather better than that oh
00:00:30
well please tell us what you said please
00:00:32
tell us um well I would have to read it
00:00:34
from from from the book no please
00:00:37
the god of the Old Testament is arguably
00:00:39
the most unpleasant character in all
00:00:41
fiction jealous and proud of it a petty
00:00:44
unjust unforgiving control freak a
00:00:47
vindictive bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser
00:00:49
a misogynistic homophobic racist
00:00:51
infanticidal genocidal filicidal
00:00:54
pestilential megalomaniacal
00:00:57
sadomasochistic capriciously malevolent
00:00:59
bully so that's what you think of God
00:01:01
yeah how about how about people believed
00:01:04
in a god of infinite lovingness and
00:01:06
kindness and forgiveness and generosity
00:01:09
sort of like the modern day God why
00:01:12
spoil it for them
00:01:14
oh
00:01:15
um why not just let them have their fun
00:01:17
and enjoy it I mean I don't want to
00:01:19
spoil anything for anybody I write a
00:01:21
book people can read it if they want to
00:01:23
I believe that it is a liberating thing
00:01:26
to
00:01:27
to free yourself from primitive
00:01:30
superstitions so religions are primitive
00:01:32
I think it is yes so uh you believe it's
00:01:35
liberating to uh tell people that there
00:01:38
is no God I think a lot of people when
00:01:40
they give up God
00:01:42
feel a great sense of release
00:01:44
uh and freedom why do you think that I
00:01:47
mean what's your name what's your
00:01:48
scientist what's your dad I think well
00:01:50
I've had a lot of of letters saying that
00:01:52
and there are eight billion people in
00:01:54
the world how many letters have you had
00:01:56
no I haven't come to that that's quite
00:01:58
quite true Professor Dawkins seemed so
00:02:01
convinced that God doesn't exist that I
00:02:03
wondered if he would be willing to put a
00:02:05
number on it well it's hard to put a
00:02:07
figure on it but but I I mean I put it
00:02:10
on something like you know 99 against or
00:02:13
something well how do you know it's 99
00:02:14
I'm just saying that 97. I did you asked
00:02:17
me to put a figure on it and I I'm not
00:02:19
comfortable putting a figure on it I
00:02:21
think it's I just think it's very
00:02:23
unlikely what but you couldn't put a
00:02:26
number on it no of course not so it
00:02:28
would be 49 well I it would be I mean I
00:02:31
I think it's it's it's unlikely but but
00:02:34
and it's quite far from 50 how do you
00:02:38
know I don't know I mean I I put an
00:02:40
argument in the book well then who did
00:02:43
create the heavens and the Earth why do
00:02:44
you use the word who you see you you
00:02:46
immediately beg the question by using
00:02:47
the word who well the how did it get
00:02:49
creative
00:02:51
well
00:02:52
um
00:02:53
by a very slow process well how did it
00:02:56
started
00:02:57
we know the kind of event that it must
00:03:00
have been we know the sort of event that
00:03:02
must have happened for the origin of
00:03:03
Life what was that it was the origin of
00:03:06
the first
00:03:07
self-replicating molecule right how did
00:03:10
that happen
00:03:11
I totally we don't know so you have no
00:03:14
idea how it started no no no no has
00:03:16
anybody nor has anyone else what do you
00:03:18
think is the possibility that they're
00:03:19
that intelligent design might turn out
00:03:22
to be uh the answer to some issues in
00:03:25
genetics or in evolution
00:03:28
it could come about in the following way
00:03:30
it could be that uh at some earlier time
00:03:34
somewhere in the universe a civilization
00:03:37
evolved by probably some kind of
00:03:40
darwinian means to a very very high
00:03:42
level of technology and designed a form
00:03:45
of life that they seeded onto perhaps
00:03:48
this this planet now that is a
00:03:51
possibility and an intriguing
00:03:53
possibility and I suppose it's possible
00:03:56
that you might find evidence for that if
00:03:57
you look at the
00:04:00
um at the detail details of biochemistry
00:04:02
molecular biology you might find a
00:04:04
signature of some sort of designer wait
00:04:07
a second Richard Dawkins thought
00:04:10
intelligent design might be a legitimate
00:04:12
Pursuit and that Designer could well be
00:04:15
a higher intelligence from elsewhere in
00:04:19
the universe but that higher
00:04:21
intelligence would itself have had to
00:04:22
have come about by some explicable or
00:04:26
ultimately explicable process it he
00:04:28
couldn't have just jumped into existence
00:04:30
spontaneously that's the point so
00:04:32
Professor Dawkins was not against
00:04:34
intelligent design just certain types of
00:04:38
designers such as God
00:04:41
so the Hebrew God the god of the Old
00:04:43
Testament he doesn't exist in your view
00:04:47
um
00:04:48
certainly I mean that would be a very
00:04:49
unpleasant Prospect and the trend Holy
00:04:53
Trinity of the New Testament there's
00:04:54
nothing like that do you believe in any
00:04:56
of the Hindu gods
00:05:02
why would I given that I don't believe
00:05:04
in any others you don't believe in the
00:05:05
Muslim God no
00:05:07
why do you even need to ask well I just
00:05:10
wanted to be sure so you don't believe
00:05:11
in any God anywhere
00:05:14
and you got anywhere would be completely
00:05:16
incompatible
00:05:18
with
00:05:20
with with with anything that I've said
00:05:23
I just wanted to make sure you don't
00:05:26
believe in any God anywhere
00:05:28
no so what you're seeing here is Richard
00:05:30
Dawkins actually validating intelligent
00:05:33
design he is saying he is admitting that
00:05:36
there is a signature that exists within
00:05:38
the universe that there is intelligence
00:05:40
embedded within the universe that we can
00:05:43
actually see some type of Handy work we
00:05:46
can see intentionality we can see
00:05:47
intelligence we can see design not just
00:05:50
accidental you know happenstance
00:05:53
throughout the Universe he's simply
00:05:55
saying maybe the source of that
00:05:57
intelligence is some alienoid entity
00:06:01
from a different Universe which is
00:06:04
number one entirely faith-based and
00:06:06
unscientific and number two in no way is
00:06:10
that different than the Christian
00:06:12
understanding of God he's just replacing
00:06:16
god with alien species but his problem
00:06:20
is actually bigger than that because in
00:06:23
doing so what he's also doing is he is
00:06:26
partaking in this infinite regression
00:06:28
problem where you then basically have to
00:06:30
say because I think if I wish that Ben
00:06:32
Stein had pressed him a little bit
00:06:33
further in this but you would say well
00:06:34
where did this alien species come from
00:06:36
and he would have to say which he kind
00:06:38
of did get a little bit into in the clip
00:06:40
but well it evolved itself but then
00:06:44
where did where did the material that
00:06:46
that Evolution began come from where did
00:06:49
the something come from as opposed to
00:06:51
nothing you say will that evolved from
00:06:53
something else and there was another
00:06:55
alien species that created this alien
00:06:56
species and so on and so forth he's he's
00:06:58
in an infinite regression Loop and
00:07:01
unless he's saying which I don't think
00:07:02
that he is that at some point there's
00:07:05
one alien who created the first the
00:07:09
first bit of material that all the other
00:07:11
aliens but now you're really just saying
00:07:13
okay God is an alien and So within all
00:07:15
of this I think that you can really see
00:07:16
Dawkins heart you can see his
00:07:19
resistance to God as a personal being
00:07:23
his his rejection of the god of the
00:07:25
Bible based along the lines that that
00:07:28
Creator is also a moral law Giver is
00:07:31
also
00:07:32
asking people for the worship that he is
00:07:36
worthy of receiving but there is that
00:07:38
it's so personal he's been given a name
00:07:41
in the pages of scriptures and I think
00:07:42
that that specificity is what is so
00:07:46
offensive to people who don't want to be
00:07:49
subject to uh their creator people who
00:07:52
would prefer to be their own Gods it's
00:07:54
much more convenient to say yes there's
00:07:57
an intelligent design in this University
00:07:58
yes I can see the Fingerprints of that
00:08:00
intelligence but you know what I think
00:08:01
it's just an alien species it doesn't
00:08:03
want me to do anything I would prefer to
00:08:05
be left very much alone and you can see
00:08:08
the sort of personal emotional appeal of
00:08:11
that for Dawkins but it also is just
00:08:13
utterly damning to his allegedly purely
00:08:15
scientific worldview you could see the
00:08:18
faith and the emotion starting to rise
00:08:20
to the surface throughout this clip and
00:08:21
so for that reason I hope you guys
00:08:22
enjoyed this clip there'll be more
00:08:24
videos like this to come and so
00:08:26
definitely like subscribe follow hit the
