The God Delusion

In this two-part TV series famous British scientist Richard Dawkins takes a closer look at Christianity and Islam and the belief systems behind them. How is it possible that in this scientific age people still believe in the rantings of ignorant desert nomads who lived 2000 years ago? What underpins such ignorance? How can anyone believe in the Bible as the word of God, although it has long been shown that it contains countless mistranslations and omissions. And how can anyone believe in a God despite the overwhelming evidence against such an entity both from an empirical point of view (studies have shown that prayer, for example, has NO effect whatsoever) and from a logical point of view (an all-powerful and all-compassionate god cannot exist for the existence of suffering is proof to the contrary). Explore the depths of ignorance in this riveting series with Richard Dawkins. Also read his books: The God Delusion, Unweaving the Rainbow, The Blind Watchmaker. Further reading: Why I am not a Christian (Bertrand Russell), God is not Great (Christopher Hitchens), Letter to a Christian Nation (Sam Harris).

Tamarind777 (2008-10-13)

You are really a major jack***. How could science prove that there is no God? Clearly you have no knowledge of science. By the way, the religion you believe in, evolution, is NOT even science either, but really a religion masquerading as science. If you're looking for proof, try proving evolution. In fact, the only thing that can be proven is mathematics. Science can NEVER be PROVEN, not to mention religion.
As far as Dawkins go, he is just a disgruntled Christian, someone who lost faith, just like you and Darwin did. Just remember that one day the God in whom you don't believe will judge you. The reason you don't believe in God is simply because you love sin.

"The reason you don't believe in God is simply because you love sin."
I seriously lmao...........good on ya FreedomLover for the up........i missed this on TV and i'm looking forward to watching. Nice one m8.

jlindqv (2008-10-14)

Isn't this Dawkins' "The root of all evil"?

nufc1961 (2008-10-15)

jlindqv - yes it is The Root ofAll Evil. Both parts.
Tamarind777 - you are brainwashed but can't see it. Most atheists are brought up on some religion or other but have the freedom of thought and independence of mind to see it for what it is. Try throwing off your preconceptions - the ideas that have been ingrained in your mind and you too will be truly free.

Jesus Christ can eat my shit.
Thanks for posting this wonderful doc.

twaseverthus (2008-10-17)

here is scientific proof that there is a god.
first - the jewish book of Daniel was written 500 years before Christ. it was translated into greek 300 years before Christ (Septuagint - named after 72 translators) chapter 9 verse 20-35, is a prophecy that deals with when the messiah will first appear. if you want to multiply 3 numbers? can you be bothered? you'll find out it comes out to a few years around when that christ guy appears. if you can be bothered to do some more research you'll find a book by Scotland Yard Detective -Sir Robert Anderson, the coming prince. that lays out the time frame exactly using the Jewish years (360 days in a old testament Jewish year) All using science and arithmetic. investigate and disprove if you can be bothered. Secondly, I don't particularly like the idea of a god, I was a devout non-believer for 25 years. I don't want to live forever, the idea is terrifying. I'd rather face a yawning blackness, or a brief blackness, whatever. But I can't rationally disprove Daniel 9:20-35. Don't tie god to any church - Paul says the church is in every man who believes in Christ. It isn't a building or a bunch of phony saints dreamt up by a bunch of religious types. It just comes down to claiming Jesus as your saviour and helping your fellow man. especially to download lotsa torrents while waiting to pop off. ps. dawkins is a blotchy faced arse. how he managed to marry that babe from dr.who is the real mystery that needs investigation. Evolution doesn't conflict with the bible, its only twits that take the bible literally(dawkins) that get a headache. god's language is metaphor. he speaks to the man in the first century, eleventh and twenty first with the bible. if the bible stared out with - a large implosion of subatomic particles released vast quantities of energy forming matter where previously there was a void.... that would only be understood by the people of the last hundred years. Let there be light... come on. its better. everyone understands that. even dawkins. Einstein and Sir Isaac Newton believed in God. Are those guys scientists? obviously not on the same level as the guy that married Jo Grant. thus endeth the sermon - go forth and do the math. daniel 9:20.

Forfai (2008-10-22)

Hahaha, don't agree on everything, but great comment twaseverthus

EmyAlly0607 (2008-10-24)

Tamarind777:
Why did you even bother opening this torrent if you don't believe what it's about? No sense in trying your best to trying to get other people to feel guilty for having an open mind. ... I hate people like you...sheep just another sheep... God doesn't judge people, people like you judge people.

kozykanuk (2008-10-26)

Great Post...can't wait to see it...I'll seed for a month at least to do my part spreading the truth..

kozykanuk (2008-10-26)

Oh and twaseverthus..
really man .. start taking your medication again..I think you're starting to fly high..
saying that rantings of iron age "mystics" are proof of yet further rantings later on is just plain stupid.. but I guess the nut doesn't fall far from the tree right??

kozykanuk (2008-10-26)

Oh Lest I forget you tamarind777...
Nice to see that you have memorized the same tired arguments that the religous have been using for years..that evolution requires faith to believe so it's a "religion" PLEASE ... it's based on EVIDENCE and the scientific method, and as the years go by we find more and more proof that it's correct..rather the the scratchings of ignorant nomads..please for mankinds sake wake up and smell the coffee before it's too late

sdmf98 (2008-11-02)

Tarnarind777 you haven't watched the movie or read the book. Dawkins' aim is not to disprove god with science, it's to make god improbable. His argument is that it's irrational to believe in something highly unlikely.

jimmy_jazz (2008-11-06)

Choices always were a problem for you.
What you need is someone strong to guide you.
Deaf and blind and dumb and born to follow,
what you need is someone strong to use you...
like me,
like me.
If you want to get your soul to heaven,
trust in me.
Don't judge or question.
You are broken now,
but faith can heal you.
Just do everything I tell you to do.
Deaf and blind and dumb and born to follow.
Let me lay my holy hand upon you.
My God's will
becomes me.
When he speaks out,
he speaks through me.
He has needs
like I do.
We both want
to rape you.
Jesus Christ, why don't you come save my life.
Open my eyes and blind me with your light
and your lies.

Wake_Up. (2008-11-11)

No religion or society has been as responsible as Islam for invasions, intolerance, genocide, massacre, civil war, annihilation of other cultures, abuse of women and children, persecution of non-believers, and general inhumanities.
Islam as a religion or belief system should at least decrease these problems, and yet it has failed like none other. Instead Islam has been used to justify and magnify human evil for 1500 years.
At the very least Islam has not proven a reasonable model for civilized success.
Islamic countries are constantly in civil war.
Islamic countries have either no tolerance for non-Islamic beliefs or brutally subjugate non-Muslims.
Islamic countries demonstrate the worst abuse of women.
Freedom of speech doesn't exist.
Wherever Islam goes all non-Islamic culture and belief is destroyed. Art, libraries, architecture, are all destroyed if non-Islamic.
The most extreme slaughter and suppression of critics & dissenters:
Hitler's Nazi Germany,
Stalin's Communist Russia,
Mao's Communist China,
Pol Pot's Communist Khmer Rouge,
Mussolini's Fascist Italy.
Saddam's Islamic Iraq,
Khomeini's Islamic Iran,
Omar's Islamic Taliban,
Abd al-Wahhab & Ibn Saud's Islamic Arabia, and
Tamerlane's Islamic Asia,
These empires fit together like puzzle pieces.
Islam has always been a fertile ground for the rise of ultra extremist militant fascist movements.
Wherever Islam goes in the world violent militant extremists magically appear as well.
These problems find their roots in the books, teachings and examples of Islamic leaders from the very beginning.
And don't try to apologize for these fascist Islamic empires by saying every country has it's problems; it would be like apologizing for Ted Bundy & Jeffrey Dahmer by claiming everybody has their problems.
For an excellent list of factual and historic articles:

777, we do not have to disprove something with proof that has no proof to begin with.

jmishg (2008-11-24)

Hey thanks for the upload, The book is great as well.

Fiiilll (2008-12-10)

hey twaseverthus,daniel chapter 9 ends at verse 27,not 35...

Felicienne (2009-03-02)

Dear, beloved, shaking in your boots, fighters for a wished for world beyond.
I am a new messenger of God (The one composed of more than 3 conflicting entities) and recruiting followers religiously.
I promess you no burning, no subjugation of women, no collection plate, no endless repetitions of the same sentences (Your God got it the first time you said it, he is smart).
On the positive side a world older than 5,000 years full of excavations you can marvel at without fear of sinning. I promess you good listening ears to let knowledge in and a cure for mental diarrea to retain what does not fit in the simplistic jargon of some unidentified writer in antiquity (Or was it then?)
And now prove to me if you can that "le petit chaperon rouge" did not exist so long ago. Why isn't Santa whispering to parents in their sleep what to buy their kids for Christmas ?
I bless you all without the use of ensence, muttered upon dirty oils and water, signs or goofy garments. Let me be your guiding light.

Abductor (2009-06-27)

allstar, I speak out against religion not to convert the devoutly religious, who by the very instruction of their teachings disable critical thinking and rely on faith alone.
I/We speak for those who are beginning to open their eyes and ears and minds and apply reason regarding their beliefs.

idimidodi (2009-10-11)

>>Tamarind777
Relax. If you truly believe in God, you should be comfortable with that idea, and not get so rustled when others choose not to believe. God did apparently give humans the freedom of choice to believe or not believe, you know. Your reaction shows that your faith is shaken and you don't want to be perceived as a dumbass. It's OK, nobody wants to find out that they have been wrong their whole life. By nature, we defend the position we have taken - whether right or wrong. And yes, I love sin. I worship false idols (like U2) and love to have sex with my girlfriend - especially before marriage (you test the car before you buy it). But it's only a sin because somebody wrote down on paper, what were issues in society at the time.
>>twaseverthus
The book of Daniel is a nice try, but not good enough. There are many other "oracles" that have predicted events hundreds of years in the future. I predict that one day we will all be dead and no one will know our comments here. Well, I guess you won't live to see it come true, I guess. How about that for a prediction? Maybe I should start throwing out predictions in a book and some of them MAY come true. And then some poor bastard finds my writings 1000 years from now and uses it as proof that people in the past were powerful oracles! And for all I know; what Moses received on the mountain, for example, was some high-tech LCDs with commandments from an alien race that thought we should be more accepting of each other. And Jesus is actually an alien that was resurrected with superior technology and brought back home after living among us. Of course he didn't have a father, he was a secretly implanted embryo by aliens! I would go on, but I don't have the time...
I just want to add that I have nothing against religion, really. It's just that it's so fractioned. The literalists and extremists of religion is what makes it bad, and unfortunately has an influence on others.
>>Wake_Up
You make your statement as if you were there during those 1500 years. Don't just blame one religion - loads of horrible actions have been taken in the name of Christianity as well, probably on equal terms with Islam. And if you knew better, you would know that it's not the religion that makes the fertile ground, but rather the environment that you are in, which of course includes religion. You know they are hotheaded in the Middle East, I think that has more to do with it than any religion. I also don't know how you connected Hitler and Communists to Islam, but I guess you were worked up when you wrote it. Communism is actually a beautiful thing as an idea. Unfortunately it was imposed on people, rather than being developed into every day life. But like Karl Marx said, you have to have capitalism before you can have communism. Maybe he'll turn out to be the next oracle...?
Finally, I just want to quote Bruce Lee:
"Take no thought of who is right or wrong or who is better than. Be not for or against." Whatever your beliefs, don't impose on others - just respect others as much as you respect yourself.

KEITH864 (2010-02-19)

Ok. God is supposed to be all good, all knowing, and all powerful. If that was the case he would know about everything that is happening in the world, he would want to do something about all the bad stuff considering he is all good and he would be able to do something about it if he was all powerful. If I knew my my best mate had AIDS, and I had the supposed powers of god I would help him, I wouldn't say Yeah I could do something about it, but I am not going to.

dubblue (2010-05-21)

great doc, freedomlover. well done.

mustafa-crap (2010-12-27)

I am god, now everyone fax me $50

hcalex666 (2011-06-10)

Maybe I'm going blind or maybe someone slipped me a strip or two of LSD earlier because I think I just read that Tamarind 777 just said that science can't prove anything? If some one of sound mind and psyche could confirm this accusation for me, I would be tremendously grateful. I think I just felt an involuntary tear rolls down my check marking this the day I have lost faith in humanity. Fucking Catholics. It's people like yourself, Tamarind 777 that deny things like Evolution, Global Warming, etc. and you keep our species as a whole from advancing further. Evidently, you must still be dragging your knuckles on the ground where ever you are. Even though you won't admit it, you're a victim of natural selection, and unfortunately somebody pissed in your gene pool. I think I might see a floater in it too.

martyn666 (2012-03-18)

Hardcore christians.. you all make me laugh, take yourselves so seriously. Get a freekin' life. Its a book and a damn good one at that. Its not incorrect and full of lies like the bible. Thast why none of you dont like it.

martyn666 (2012-03-18)

at the start of time there was no god and if there was then how come no one was present to see him, therefore he didnt exist, only to himself, therefore NO F'KIN PROOF he existed to any one. And if jesus was supposed to had died for me, then how the flying fuck is that humanly possible when i didnt friggin exist at that time, fookin'liar !!!

martyn666 (2012-03-18)

ohh yeh, and i believe that evolution created itself, the earth and every thing around it, so there you have no god just science and how everything became what you see today. Not religion which destroys humanity. Brain-washed fools !

Milkman000 (2012-09-15)

Thank you

hektik666 (2013-01-17)

Tamarind777, you really are trapped deep in the religious hole. You claim science can prove nothing, yet it has proven so much. It has even proven so much about evolution. Maybe not every little piece of it but its till working things out. We know genes exist, science proved that. We know genes pass down from parent to child, science proved that. We know that these genes can change based on the environment around us, science has proven this as well. That alone is everything you need for basic evolution. All of it has been proven. If science hasnt proved anything, then how are you sitting at your comp typing that pathetic comment? No we cannot prove your god doesnt exist. I cant prove a pink unicorn doesnt exist either. Do you believe in pink unicorns? You cant tell me they arent real, can you? Prove it, i dare ya. Just because you cant prove that it does not exist does not make it any more real or right. Its the fact that more evidence points to evolution, not god, as the creation of all. It is not a religion, no faith is needed to base your claim on religion. Atheism is not a religion either. Its a stance saying that no god or gods exist. Thats it, theres no cults or churches. You have been brain washed as a child and refuse to let go of your religious teachings to look at whats right in front of your face. Its all there, all you have to do is open your eyes and mind, look around and think. Think freely, not with a god holding you back. One which, by the way, created you sick. On pain of death he orders you to make yourself well, or you will be sent to a place of torture and burning. What kind of loving being is that?

HumanGenocide (2013-10-09)

Why do you people even bother making a point against religion?
You don't go discussing logic if somebody appears around the corner and starts saying that there's a man who can excrete faeces through his mouth and he commands for everybody to eat dung. You simply ignore him. Or call the psychiatric asylum.
Why bother with christians then?

HumanGenocide (2013-10-15)

Sorry, I was a bit unfair there talking about christians.
I forgot to mention that it also refers to jews, muslims and any other idiot believing that there's some sort of imaginary all powerful friend in the sky...
There, mistake corrected.

Gabri77 (2013-10-26)

Many thanks!

plague420 (2014-06-20)

@HumanGenocide
People point out the issues and harm of religion (usually Christianity) because of the harm being done to civilization by it, even today. If they stopped trying to legislate people's rights away with their outdated book of tales, there wouldn't be so much to complain about. If they didn't force their religion down the throat of an entire country, then there wouldn't be so much to complain about. The whole "in god we trust" on the money and the "...under god" in the pledge of allegiance were added in the 1950's as a response to communism, and kids in school get in trouble (not as much any more, but it still happens) for refusing to say it, I was one of those kids. There is no actual reason to take the right to marry away from gay people unless you throw religion into the mix, which should mean that it should never even be considered as law. It's unconstitutional. If kids weren't being murdered by their parents by the hundreds every year because they refuse to take their children to the hospital or doctor when they get sick, then there wouldn't be so much to complain about. I'm not even gonna get started about priests raping kids, which is not an old issue as a priest in on trial for that exact offense as of a week or two ago.
