      He's a joke like you are.
      Richard Dawkins teaches the universe came from "literally nothing."
      Real science says nothing does nothing. Real science says if there was something there already it must fit with the evidence of what we know. We know the 1LT says there's a conservation of energy. It can change forms and neither can be created or destroyed. Creation cannot happen by natural means. The 2LT has various aspects, one being the universe is winding down, entropy. Usable energy is becoming less usable, so at one point usable energy was at its max. This all points to a supernatural creation, by a supernatural creator at a certain point in which matter, space and time were created. When I read how it can happen otherwise, ALL the fools resort to science-fiction. Once a supernatural creation is accepted, then the next step is finding proof of what supernatural power did it.
      We can't get anything from "literally nothing." We can't even get science without God. The laws of nature only can come from a Lawgiver, God.
      God is the reason for us and all we have.

      And even if what they say is challenged, is there not a kind of old boys’ club, that is careful not to allow too many openings of enquiry, in case the enquirers leave themselves vulnerable? Scientists are just people, with all the failings that all people are prone to?

    Right around one hour and 20 minutes the audience asked him if he thinks, because of advances in medicine and what not, that there’s any more evolution involved in the human species. I think Dawkins misunderstood the questions and answered as if the gentleman had asked about artificial or a human guided or eugenic evolution.
    And the last question was are there certain humans that are more predisposed to rational or irrational thoughts than others, genetically, and he also misunderstood that one. I would’ve loved to have heard his answers to both.

      I trust you see my problem ?
      In short, I see absolutely no reason at all why The Theory of Evolution should negate the need for a Being - notwithstanding Dawkins sincere hope that it will.

But the problem is that we don't always have the knowledge of science and technology to figure a lot of our questions out. Religion provides an easy and understandable explanation to all of these questions. Why are we here? Who made us? Where did everything come from? Where do we go after we die? It can also provide people with control of others like preventing them from doing bad things and encouraging them to do good, maybe to convince people of breaking bones to haul that brick because God wants this shrine or whatever built. It is an easy way to control, encourage, answer, etc.

Should you touch that hot thing and see for yourself or should you just take your mom's word for it? This mentality at a young age is another reasonable idea that might explain why they just take the parent's word for it, and/or maybe because that is their only source of info so if they say it, it must be true.So if you grow up forever thinking that when you throw things up they fall down, what could possibly be the chances that they will dart sideways and then upward?

    To the comments referring to the self consuming aspect of evolution and a common ancestor I would like to give my humble analysis of the situation. That's true if you only take into account the method by which creatures devour one another. Please consider this: if a single celled organism were to divide into multiple organisms and head off in two different directions for centuries they would eventually evolve to adapt to their environments. Now, let's say that one environment is more adverse than the other and that that genetic species living in that environment, which I will refer to as Cell B, experiences a genetic mutation which allows it to consume another living species, perhaps the other cell (which I will refer to as cell A). This would allow for Cell B to survive by consuming Cell A and further perpetuating the species, which at this point is life in general. Thank you for the time that you took to read this.

      Richard Dawkins teaches the universe came from "literally nothing."
      Real science says nothing does nothing. Real science says if there was something there already it must fit with the evidence of what we know. We know the 1LT says there's a conservation of energy. It can change forms and neither can be created or destroyed. Creation cannot happen by natural means. The 2LT has various aspects, one being the universe is winding down, entropy. Usable energy is becoming less usable, so at one point usable energy was at its max. This all points to a supernatural creation, by a supernatural creator at a certain point in which matter, space and time were created. When I read how it can happen otherwise, ALL the fools resort to science-fiction. Once a supernatural creation is accepted, then the next step is finding proof of what supernatural power did it.
      We can't get anything from "literally nothing." We can't even get science without God. The laws of nature only can come from a Lawgiver, God.

As Jean Paul Sartre profanely declared "if God exists I am not free. Since I am free therefore God does not exist." As Pascal observed "some people believe whatever they want, not on the basis of evidence but what they find attractive" And there's something very attractive apparently, about a morality that is merely a spinoff from socio-biological evolution.
