I am having this discussion in facebook

Bill O'Reilly SCARED by Richard Dawkins

Liked on www.youtube.com

http://www.comedyjesus.com - Have you ever seen Bill O'Reilly so scared to give an educated guest time to speak? Watch as he barely gives the space or time to let Dawkins really speak. Watch as he makes a joke when there's a question he can'...

LOL feel free to watch the clip again and see that Dawkins can't tell you where anything came from, can't deny a "God" entity exists, and most of all agrees that the two largest mass murderers in the modern era were both athiests.

That they were both atheist is a matter of record. The question is, did they do what they did in the name of atheism?
In addition, any scientist worth its salt would never agree to anything 100% as there is always the possibility that, with new evidence, things can be demonstrably different.
With that said, Dawkins tries to explain that if there is anything that can be called "god"it must have appeared by natural means.
When I take into consideration other comments you have made about this type of subjects, specifically to some of my posts, I can not ignore the fact that you may not be as versed as you think for this to be a constructive conversation. Mostly I have read ad hominems and insinuations of a superiority complex that are lost between the lines of your comments; current one excluded. I am not a critical thinking scholar, but even I can see that you may need to brush up your skills in the subject. While you are at it, make sure you understand what science is and what scientists do, and maybe do a little self reflecting on how the religious and political environment you were raised have shaped your views. Most of your counterpoints could have come from any fundamentalist or extreme right group I have ever heard, which makes me think that your "opinions" are nothing more than the regurgitation of the stuff you have been spoon fed.

First off, both Stalin and Mao did not murder in the name of atheism but they certainly accomplished these horrific acts stemming from their religious belief in the lack of a superior being that will keep them accountable... and will you as well.

Second, the argument speaking of that "god" must have appeared by natural means is perhaps the worst peice of science, which you highly tout, that you could utilize. I see you've gone to great length to try to show your superiority in this matter but I need to remind you want science is. Science is the observation of repeatable events. I've never seen my God created, and I never will. He existed before the beginning and will exist into the oblivion. There is absolutely no science that you can show me AT ALL that this statement is not true... Because it would not be science, because you cannot repeat it. You chose to put your faith in the lack of god. Since you cann't prove a negative and would be naive to try I'll assume you agree.... Since you're so good at science - or perhaps you haven't read the book of using logic.

I realize that you believe that you are enlightened; however, you cannot give explanation to the easiest of questions. "Where did we come from?" Dawkins said in this very video clip. "We're working on it." We split atoms in less than 7 years from conception to Japan. Every evolutionist in the world that want to discount the creation of this universe cannot answer the question - including you.... See More

So keep reading your book, they aren't helpipng you answer the easy stuff. It's always nice to try to demean your opponent while not actually debating the topics. I've read plenty of book too, but my understanding doesn't just come from books and very little comes from my "regurgitation of the stuff (I) have been spoon fed." Most of it came from intense debate will atheists like you - in graduate school.
