I agree with 99% of what Dr. Dawkins has said here. I agree that some of the people who teach children about hell understand that it is not a real place, others who teach people about hell really think that it really exists, and they are not teaching it to harm others or make money. While I agree that the act of teaching children about the eternal tortures of hell is an evil act, I believe that calling all of these people "evil" is not accurate and does not further the atheist's cause.
If DNA is a string ... ( 4 months ago by niupaidanui)
If DNA is a string of Genes, how do we know when a Gene starts and ends?
Are there special markers in the DNA to divide up the string into sections of Genes?
Is this what they're using pattern matching for; i.e. compare two or more DNA strings to find which parts are garbage and which parts are Genes?

the bible totally accounts for the concept of genes...im sure there are a number of references to Levis in genesis...

And God is Amazing! If you knew God you would not speak for him. Except for in the Bible. True and Simple.

And you know god? How? Imaginary creations in your brain do not count!
The Bible is riddled with errors and inconsistencies, so god is error-full and inconsistent, sounds more like the bible is man's creation then man is god(s)'s creation.
There is nothing true and simple about the bible.
Why is he so great? ... ( 4 months ago by mrsmilo)
Why is he so great? A being that created people and an earth for them to walk on just to have them bow down to him? Creating hurricanes and famine and plague because we pissed him off or we're not worthy? Then why did he make us just to destroy us if we didn't do what he supposedly had planned for us in the first place?
That's why ... ( 4 months ago by Shalek)
That's why evolution is called 'the origin of the species' not 'the origin of the matter,'... Go to the big bang to find out how matter came to be. Here's a couple of videos to help you. The first is an explanation of how we know the big bang came to be, the second ia poetic explanation.

Yeah, that dude sounded like ben stein there. 'how can evolution be true when it doesn't explain the origin of the universe, or gravity!' ...its not supposed to you morons. just as gravity doesnt explain special relativity.

Exacly, we pissed him off. So instead of taking away his creation- he choose instead to keep them- and make them worship him whilst making them suffer. Sounds like 'perfection' alright. *rolls eyes*

If you were an extremely lazy god, that is the way you would do it, because you wouldn't actually have to do anything at all. All you would have to do is start the universe going, and then sit back and watch it all happen...It is a rather strange way going about things. You might think that if God were really wanting to make it pretty convincing He exists He wouldn't choose, as a way of bringing us into existence, the one way that would make it look as though he was not there.

She speaks of a misconception that Dawkins promoted selfishness as if selfishness was a bad thing. Selfishness is a virtue and is vital for one's happiness and successful living. Read about objectivism if you want to know more.

mr. dawkins, your chimpanzee behavior is showing again. Where did you learn that people who have a different belief than you are idiots? Haven't you learned yet that it is not polite to call people idiots? An idiot is a menthally handicapped person. How dare you call people stable, intelligent people idiots? As the old adage says, it takes one to know one. So be careful that your words do not boomerang on you. You want to appear to know more than you actually do. lesson n.1 be polite!
