God is simply unnecessary and simply invented by ignorant primitives to explain the world around them. Unfortunately the same mistaken information is still regarded as fact but those unable to grasp the complexity of science.
I am sure since you clearly have issues and always need to have the last word that you will respond...I can't wait to read the words of wisdom that flow so eloquently from your fingers flying across the keyboard.  |
Evolution "just" took out possibly the biggest "gap" from "god". Yes there are some people that think the idea that God merely set up and initiated the "random dominoes" of evolution with a single flick to be a disproving of their particular literal interpretation of a being making them out of a rib woman.. But in reality the vast majority of religious people are perfectly adaptable with their beliefs. On top of wearing clothes made from two fabrics and eating at Red Lobster, there are indeed able to integrate undeniable science with their beliefs. It just takes time for a path of mental retreat to be cut for them. Even the Pope endorsed evolution he just maintained god was there on the conveyor belt popping the souls in. So in a certain way, it might disprove a version of god to a lot of unsophisticated religious thinkers, you can't really extrapolate that out from there. I mean Geology does the same thing to a lesser extent. When people want to believe something they are entirely malleable in how they get there although I agree you'll shed a few percent each stage of the way as some understand the implications of a lack of inerrancy.
Of course an evolutionary biologist is a good background for anti-theistic arguments as it contrasts with the books claims and reduces god's sphere of influence. Basically the god of the gaps will just get smaller and smaller and religious thinkers will just equivocate more and more but not much will actually change. I mean we know thunder isn't caused by god moving the furniture any more and you have to resort to a fair amount of sophistry or a small amount of faith to rationalise it, but in 500 years it'll be the same, just not believing in evolution will seem as stupid as thinking thunder is god bowling and it'll be some much smaller gap being clung too. The reality is evolutionary biology is an understanding of the nature of the universe, theology is a study in something that doesn't exist and anthropology isn't like coming up with fermat's last theorem, by discussing atheism in the context of ancient beliefs you are performing it more contextually than most diploma wielding anthropologists would. When illiterate primitive tribes are capable of the entirety of a discipline it's a stupid argument and an argument from Authority fallacy on top is even more stupid.
Anyhow, that said the poster really is an idiot, most likely on purpose because they're obviously trolling about Dawkins, I don't think it's possible to call him a "Youtube celebrity" and retain a scintilla of respect, certainly any more than calling Carl Sagan a Youtube celebrity too, because: video.
No one is that dumb, it's basically obvious troll.
