A new audio added to my mix of videos in regards to evolutionary ethics and rape. Richard Dawkins in an honest moment.
The word “belief” stands out in the discussion, and Dawkins doesn’t seem to pick up on it ... and note that beliefs belong in church.
What do you mean OldNavy?
The title explains everything you need to know about why communists and atheists have such a low regard for life. Except their own, of course, because they have "evolved" to the highest level. The rest of us are throwbacks.
I'm skeptical of anyone who tells me "this is all you need to know".
It always seems to turn out to be "this is all I want you to know", and there was quite a bit more to it than they were telling me.
The fact is that the questioner could say that, did say that, and Dawkins' was simply polite.
Dawkins passed on debating beliefs.
Well, rape has been treated differently in different places, and different times, even considering only Christian countries.
Good point. As an atheist who`s often blasted for being pro-life, I can say that those who say `all you need to know about atheists` are no different from the atheists who say `all you need to know about Christians.` Both sides do themselves no favors with such silly reductions. Knowing the details and the full mindsets is the key to true understanding, even with one who believes something you don`t. [Shockingly, atheists are as varied as Christians in terms of their individual beliefs—moreso, since being a non-believer in God means one could believe in any number of things a stranger couldn`t presume just by hearing one is an atheist.]
There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having been originally breathed into a few forms or into one; and that, whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed laws of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being, evolved.
Does this include the axiological claim that there are no axiological claims that are absolutely true?
Theyre at it again BEEP!
Jesus invented evolution when he said “You MUST be born again”..
I suppose humans CAN evolve.. from a worm to a butterfly..
Marx said... why evolve... embrace being a worm..
So socialists learned to be Tape Worms on an economy.. parasites.. intestinal malefactors..
The perception of altruism might be useful, but only the perception, and only to the point when its not useful.
Darwinian morals means smothering grandma when no one is looking, and then crying loudly.
Atheists and evos ping
Caterpillar to butterfly change is not evolution,
though you might find some evos that point to this as “evidence”...
It is “metamorphosis”, and a very passable analogy for being born again.
Good concept (chuckle), a sound understanding. Why bother with issues of ethics or morality, when you have scientific texts on theories and hypothesizes as your guide.
Is that anything like Dungeons and Dragons? (grin)
[ Caterpillar to butterfly change is not evolution, ]
Sure it is.. evolution is not evolution...
Nothing has been proven to have evolved.. in the classic sense..
Vegetarian finches becoming meat eaters is not evolution..
And Wolves becoming Labrador retrievers is not evolution..
Neanderthal’s becoming Homo Sapiens didn’t happen either.. most likely..
IF the third human on this planet did not come from two others..
THEN; bodacious Yarn must be constructed.. and it was..
Explaining where the third human came from becomes then the primary problem..
Then Science Fiction must be invented because Sci-Fi MUST be very logical.. else whats the point..
Reality need not be logical to humans at all.. it has nothing to prove..
Is science “fiction”?....
Well some of it is... else relativity and quantum doodads would correlate.. they don’t..
Humans have a hell of a time mouthing “I just don’t know”...
The third human on this planet came from TWO OTHERS....
OK.. there I said it..

Dawkins “masterpiece” is not empiricism but Science Fiction Mythology. Dawkins has cleverly spun a scientistic tale about deified Life, magic(Life’s several powers breathed into a few forms), Life’s “creative power”-—evolution and above all, Dawkins religiously held “belief” in the “inventions of his own imagination:”
Imagine There’s No God.....Only Evolution

Those who debunk supernaturalism invariably substitute something similarly transcendent, as Dawkins has done.
As for belief, Dawkins obviously “believes” his own inventions else he’d not publish them for the edification of his followers.
