Skip to 3.50 as the first bits not relevent. I have never really got into thie Creationism Vs Evoluton thing to much as, well here in the UK it’s not really as big of an issue it is in the USA. But this video amazes me firstly that the guy blames Darwinism for the Hollocust and secondly that he tries and pretends that Inteigent Design (ID) has anything to do with science. It don’t, Inteigent Design is Religion, Evolution is science. Totally different things. I’m not really ‘anti religon’ it doesn’t matter to me what you believe but I do think it’s important to remember their is a distinct difference between the two. And with that I’m not even nessarily saying their isn’t a ‘God’, I have no idea. Non of us do, but the dangers is if you begin putting everything down to ‘oh someone created it’ you begin to fall into the trap of beliving you have figured it all out, when of course you haven’t…
You know and then to throw the German white supremicy and blaming the whole of Darwinism for it is just rediclious and frankly I lost the little respect I had for the guy after that. Godwins Law to the extreme!
You know and then he goes onto to talk about scientific funding being denied if anyone dare agree with ID, well of course it’s not science! Why would someone fund scientific work when you’re not doing any!
I think this video kind of sums up my current feeling on the point of life. I still consider myself an agnostic, although I seem to lean towards thinking ‘what’s the point’, and it’s not a pleasant feeling. A empty feeling really. I think I was happier when I thought there must be more to life then what we see. But I just don’t believe that anymore, I think, I wish, that will change. Although I come from a long line of non believers, a part from one of my Granddads who became very religious just before his death but a part from that no one.
I have nothing against religion, and these fundamentalist atheists annoys me as much as fundamental religious people really. In their arrogant ‘know it all ness’. And the irony on the side of Atheists who tend to have ‘faith’ in Science is that being so closed minded is bad science surly? You know both religion and atheists have caused plenty of human suffering in this world. Hitler and Stalin for instance both atheists and responsible for more deaths combined then probably even the British Empire! And on the side of religion you have the crusades as an obvious one! Going from one extreme to the other I think causes problems. In as much as being religious to the extreme can hold back scientific progress (which is bad), being extreme on the other end can possibly create a Nihilistic society which is also a bad thing.
So i think what I am saying is, believe whatever you want to believe, or don’t. And whereas you have the freedom to say what you wish, pushing your belief as well as your non belief onto someone is a bad thing.
