Dawkins in the Classroom: London Students Debate God, Darwin & the Origin Of Life
Vložit
- čas přidán 5. 02. 2024
- I led a classroom of London high schoolers for a Channel 4 documentary, on the subject of Charles Darwin and evolution. It inspired questions from curious young minds that I then engaged with - about the nature of religious belief, about time and space, and about the truth of the origin of life.

“If you ever asked me why I believe in evolution the very last thing I would say is that I was brought up to believe in it” 🔥
A sad fact is that this statement could have been made by almost all of us (atheists).
Well what you would say and what is actually true aren’t necessarily the same
In fact you chose to believe in it since there are no proofs at all so whether you have been brought up by believing in it or not it is irrelevant.....still if you listen you your teacher here you will see that you are contraddicting yourself: if you were brought up in india one would be hindu whereas if born in the middle east one would be either jew or muslim. That is so stupid that your teacher does not know what he is talking about. Believing in something is a choice acquired after studying / research etc etc I was brought up by atheists, left school very early simply becuase i could not listen to all this bloody british non-sense. Those who brought me up tried everything to turn me into an atheist but did not work out so, again, it is a choice to believe in something whether you are proofs or you have none just like Richard here.......start thinking.
As a clear-thinking normal person, evolution and the rest of
Richard’s theories just make sense. Nothing else does.
It is a privilege to have you in our lifetime to learn from you, dear Professor Dawkins
yes, absolutely
You are joking, he's brainwashing the poor kids with his garbage! He even admits evolution is only a theory! Child asks, why is evolution still only a 'theory'? Dawkins replies "don't worry about that" haha what a joker. He even debunks it himself, when he tells the kid 'we used to have a theory the Earth was round, but now we've been in space we know it round, so we call it a fact now! Dawkins follows that scientific pearl by telling the child "don't worry about why we still call evolution a theory". His exact words... He's making it up as he goes along!
Listen how often Dawkins uses the word 'probably', Sorry Dawkins 'probably' ain't a very scientific word!
Oh and when you google Denisovans and that cute fake homind puppet appears, remember that all they have is one finger bone and a tooth! The puppet is total fantasy but it makes Dawkins go all gooey eyed. It's no different to pictures of angels in the Bible!
Dawkins is more intelligent than all the mullahs , priests, pastors, popes , bishops and rabbis of the world combined . He is my hero .
Why do you admire him so much?
@@chiamtateng1973 he is wize ,intelligent and honest and that's just about it . I have been listening to his lectures , maybe too much, since the mid 1980s on TV and later on CZcams. He also has a dry type of humour which usually make for a better teacher s . Just watch some of his videos he made in America ? The bewildered look on his face is priceless.
Aren't these kids are blessed to have interacted with one of the greatest scientists of our age? Dawkins is a gift to the thinking world...
Why?
@@chiamtateng1973Can’t u grant ppl a little hyperbole? He’s working hard to educate ppl. Or r u really just asking why ppl should listen to him?
He's trying to groom them
@@Adogsmate4267 Dawkins would be fine if he left it at science, but he doesn't. His real-life views are atrocious. He praised the warmonger John McCain as a "good man", has "no sympathy" for Julian Assange and even now supports Israel.
What a wonderful educator! I was delighted to watch how you got the students to engage and encouraged them to think
"3rd day seed/plant....5th day marine life--birds...6th day terrestrial mammals---humans". HOW is that distinct from "descent with modification"?!
FN REMARKABLE!! Genesis provides accounting for oxygen on earth allowing for subsequent animal life.
Genesis' offers ONLY a koan for first life: plant/seed
4th day prima facie enunciates; "days/seasons/years...for purposes of sacred observance". OF COURSE, removing all doubt "days" references epochs not 24 hour days.
Repeatedly the separation between 3rd & 5th days affirms a reverence for animal life not accorded plants.
---The first page of chapter 4 of The God Delusion has Dawkins claiming to repudiate physicist/atheist Fred Hoyle's contention
that 'life beginning on earth is as likely as a hurricane assembling a fully functioning Boeing 747'. Dawkins says, 'oh no, poor boy; he fails to appreciate the miracle of natural selection'. Dawkins' worshipful genuflection to natural selection is woefully
in opposition to Darwin's chapter 6: "numerous, successive, slight modification".
The 2nd Law of Thermodynamics NEVER/EVER/NEVER/EVER allows inanimate
objects to proceed through numerous, successive, slight modification. That IS
an absolute antonym of 2nd Law; THE MOST proven law known to humans.
Einstein said, '..is the one law of universal content which will NEVER be overthrown"
IT HASN'T BEEN!
Dawkins is a carny barker fool, and I could continue effectively endlessly with
his idiocy. HE'S LITERALLY TOO STUPID TO INSULT..BUT IT'S MADE HIM VERY RICH
Wonderful! You created a good balance between respect, attention to their beliefs and opinions, while gently leading them to think about evolution, their beliefs and the importance of evidence.
This is such a classic.
How would I have loved to get challenged with such questions in my youth. To be tought to think by your self in early age. You do a great job- thanks
There are no words for how perfectly dawkins and darwin satisfy the mind.
The value of educating children about the facts of evolution cannot be overstated. It's concerning to hear about the prevalence of religious indoctrination in schools, especially when it comes at the expense of teaching scientific facts like evolution. In my country, Romania, children are subjected to religious education from a very young age, with classes starting as early as first grade and continuing throughout their entire schooling. And I am talking about regular schools, not faith schools here! These classes often begin and end with prayers, creating an environment that prioritizes religious indoctrination.
In a typical school year, comprising approximately 35 weeks, students undergo one session of religious education per week, beginning in first grade and continuing for 12 years. This accumulates to a total of 420 hours dedicated to religious education. In contrast, the allocation for teaching evolution is notably limited, with only one session provided in the 2nd semester of the 8th grade and another at the end of the 12th grade (when, in both cases, most students are concerned with the admission to highschool/college) - adding to a total of 2 classes in 12 years.
I vividly remember my own experiences with this system. In second grade (when I was about 8 years old) , I dared to question the existence of God in my religious education class, only to be met with shock and admonishment from my teacher, who told me never to DARE say that again during her classes. Instead of fostering critical thinking, these classes often instill fear by teaching children about concepts like hell and divine punishment.
It's clear that there's a need for more emphasis on science-based education, particularly when it comes to topics like evolution. Every child deserves the opportunity to learn about the natural world without the imposition of religious dogma!
The educational system could benefit from more educators like Professor Dawkins.
The young mind is very malleable and very naive. Unfortunately, it doesn't have much defence against irrational arguments or beliefs being imposed upon it. If children were very difficult to teach they would be far less likely to survive, so the young mind *has* to be accepting of information coming in as fact. However, children don't have prior information upon which is filter out implausibility, so they have to accept it alongside what may actually be useful information.
The more irrationality that is introduced to the young mind the more gunked up that mind becomes. Eventually, usually around the teenage years, the mind becomes more likely to repel contradictory knowledge and more likely to refuse arguments from authorities. So, if the gunk hasn't been cleared out by that point it becomes *very* difficult to remedy. The more gunked up a mind is, the more irrational the mind becomes.
We see this with some of the students here, unable to get past the initial premise that the 'holy book' that was fed into them at a young age is not evidence is any rational way. The contradictory evidence that *is* rational gets repelled rather than processed. Thus, an irrational base is very difficult to erode with rational arguments because the 'software' for processing that rationality has either never been uploaded or has been overwritten with irrationality. I do not know the answer to this; I'm not sure there is actually is a 'good' way to remove irrationality once it becomes so established since the only truly 'good' way cannot be used.
What we need see is a ban on feeding irrational information to children, in the same way we ban alcohol and tobacco consumption with children. This means not taking children to religious organisations. Prosecuting adults who feed religion to a child. Once they are adults they would then hopefully have a good base of rationality to work from. At that point it becomes necessary to allow freedom of choice - because at that point choice is actually informed and therefore meaningful. It will likely not occur in any country with a sizeable religion population, so we'll just have to hope that strong consisten arguments are made in schools for rational arguments to counter well-meaning, but ultimately harmful, parents blasting religion at the child.
@@RJWhitmore I agree with you regarding young minds. I was shocked at some of the arguments from some of the young religious people because they were a group of articulate interesting individuals who had obviously thought quite hard about what they had learned.
I skived R.E. for the whole of secondary school, got caught and after one lesson where I questioned every word that came out of the teachers mouth, I had to play tabletennis with my co-conspirator for the rest of my srcondary education. I also played table tennis with the same friend every Thursday afternoon for a couple of years for skiving field and going to see our ponies instead.
That’s crazy! But you are 100% correct.
Look at Dawkins getting an ego boost from debating children rather than step up and debate William Lane Craig
I always feel better if I can have a daily dose of Dawkins. It’s almost like therapy for me.
I always have a weekly dose of dawkins to make me realise how lucky I am to not believe a word he says . He's a very dangerous man . What's different about this planet is it was created for us to live on . Darwin theory doesn't prove a thing . Asking children to give you questions . He's on the same iq level
@@michaelmarshall9132 How is he dangerous?
@@ga6589 because he's lieing to you
@@michaelmarshall9132 I disagree. Dawkins encourages people to think critically and logically, rather than to accept non-evidentiary claims about god and the afterlife.
IMO, what's dangerous is when people are religiously indoctrinated through fear, intimidation and superstition. Historically, it's an easy and convenient method that takes full advantage of humans' innate fear of death and what happens after we die.

Very nice, however I believe some scientists often miss the opportunity to point out the difference between hypothesis and scientific theory.
Exactly what I thought. Its really important to clarify that one, because the ambigous therm "theory" seem to cause a lot of confiusion
@@Overlordsen very true. Although I would point out that both hypothesis and theory are both magnitudes higher than faith and subjective interpretation
this was one of the first films of yours I saw, that really shook me awake to Islam. a truly inspiring man, and an honour to get to learn from you. thank you!
This video made you religious!?
@@rosalind1635If so then this guy will be the biggest failure 😂
I would be very interested to know how it affected your faith if you don't mind sharing
The world lacks a scientific spirit and it's nice to see Dr. Dawkins
Dr. Dawkins, thank you for the remply I feel very honored at this moment
I think I've seen this interview elsewhere on CZcams.
But I still enjoyed watching it a second time :3
Not an interview... But yes it's an old classic.
If I were a teacher, my students would definitely know this man.
There should be specific exercises in school to teach scientific method. These children don't know the difference between faith and facts.
Nice job Richard. Don't underestimate the value of the work you do. Thanks
Great discussion and i listened enthusiastically from the beginning to the end of this specific sharing ideas in the field of evolution.
Love this. Good questioning technique.
Although I am on the opposite side of Richard, I have huge admiration for his work. Visiting highschools is perhaps something he should do more often, our young people are increasingly restless nowadays and it is a great way for them to explore in this way. Thanks for your service sir.
You're such a treasure, Prof. Dawkins. Truly enjoyed it as much as you did.
Thank you for everything you do! ❤
Everything? He does nothing, he's not contributed to the science in any way! He just lies to children! Did you even watch this video? Dawkins changed the questions two kids asked because he cannot answer them; 'how could the heart evolve' and 'why is evolution still only a theory'! Even worse, Dawkins attempted to shut down an enquiring mind by telling the girl "don't worry about why evolution is still only a theory" before immediately moving on to the next question! Appalling attitude! He's a liar, you cannot prove evolution! Google image Denisovans, look at the stupid cute looking hominid creature that appears and then ask yourself, how could evolutionists have a clue that it looks like this, when the only Denisovans remains found are a single tooth and one finger bone! They obviously have no clue what it looked like, how tall or hairy it was etc etc. It's a lie, a fiction, a hoax to brain wash every child and uneducated person that sees it! Evolution is a lie.
This the best way of learning about evolution I had ever heard! I am biggest supporter of Dr Richard Dawkins 👏🏼
How wonderful to see you in action with these students today. 👏👏👏
I could see Richard's frustration quite clearly 🤣
dawkins: does anybody has an idea why our bodies are made like that?
student: because god made us like that.
dawkins: yeah!! ... anyone with another idea?😅
reminded me so much of the situations back in school when teachers wont comment on how stupid the answer of a student was.
Frustrated for what..? He made the students to think rather than imposing something...
This was a wholesome conversation
@@SoorajSuseelan10001 Exactly, better than believing in Adam and Eve, the apple and the snake 🐍 with its legs. What kind of evidence for the existence of creation? Compared to evolution, fossils, and DNA evidence, evolution is not a theory anymore. It is an irrefutable fact.
Dawkins mentioned the director not permitting his use of the whiteboard.
I have a feeling that the choice of students attending was intentional and
that RD was as much a pawn as the rest of them.
Dear professor Richard Dawkins I love you so much.❤❤❤
A marvellous man. The perfect teacher. Doesn’t just tell but draws the answer from students.
I salute your patience, sir. 🫡
Is the cameraman balancing the camera on his head?
That’s hilarious 😆
This looks like an older video. If I recall from my very basic camera progression knowledge, auto-stabilising tech was added at some point (and iterated upon), which means we are more familiar these days with steady camera action. This video was either likely taken before such tech or such tech was too expensive at the time for use here.
On the other hand, it *was* a long video; maybe his hands got tired and his head *was* free to carry stuff!
I thought the same thing. The camera work is awful. Even so the talk is so interesting.
@@RJWhitmore "It looks like an older video"
No shit?! Was it the four pixels that gave it away?
Using modern video software it would be possible to stabilize this much more.
Very well explained!
One question though: what is wrong with the person holding the camera?
😂
i personally loved this format!
Superbly answered!
Beautiful to watch
A very good programme. Maybe you could have used the oak moth to show evolution. Dark version in polluted areas and lighter version in clean areas etc. This illustrates evolution via natural selection very well. Also why different types of eyes if they were designed, then why not all same?
Absolutely love this
As always, Professor Dawkins was fantastic and explained evolution with great eloquence. Respect and appreciation.
The threat of hell and eternal fire are obvious, or that their parents are wrong in their ideas is unfathomable. Some will evolve from ignorance, some steadfastedly move directly to stupid.
Enjoy Hell then. I will look down from Heaven laughing at you.

Dawkins EDUCATES
You have far more patience than I, Professor Dawkins
i love this man so much!
An electrifying discussion. I appreciate how he didn't talk down to them but encouraged them to examine their own beliefs. A shame he missed an opportunity to nail on the head what the word "theory" means in science.
Haha, we all know what the word theory means in science, I'm guessing you don't and are confusing it with the academic definition!
@@ankyspon1701 No. People don't. Otherwise, they would not say that evolution is JUST a theory. I don't know what you mean by "academic". There is the scientific definition, the philosophical definition, the mathematical definition and the common use definition, and they are all different.
@@ankyspon1701religion is all .. theory .. in every meaning of the word ..
@@carlodefalco7930 No. It is speculation. It is not theory in the scientific sense.
@@carlodefalco7930 Actually lad, there's more 'factual' information in the Bible, Sumerian scrolls and the Vedas etc than there is in any of Dawkins' books or lectures. You were brainwashed as a child reading too many Tommy the T rex books, how much real investigation have you done into evolution since then?
Do it and then see what you find, because while you can obviously see that life does slowly change over time, that's the same species evolving, ie a human simply becoming a slightly different human, not a totally different creature.
As for lies... Dawkins talks about Denisovans looking so much like us, but did you know the only Denisovans remains they have is a single tooth and finger bone!
But Google Denisovans and you will see a full sized homind creature, it's a fiction, a lie, to sucker people and continue the brainwashing everyone's had since kindergarten!
Dawkins just posted a new video of himself attempting to brainwash kids the way we were all brainwashed as kids and when he invites them to ask questions, he evades most of their questions because they are unanswerable. Evolution is only a theory!
Thanks!
Shocking camera work.
感谢道金斯博士您给人类带来理性和科学！
There should be a follow up on these kids i wonder if any of this amazing meeting with dawkins stuck
What a remarkable man he is unreal I have watched him now a couple times he's amazing how he can explain everything well he's put it all to bed he's educated me big time
Moving about from a point of our observation, i think moving around seeming to move apart, is more apt to grasp, infinite universes move beyond our capability to concieve such view as no beging suggesting no ending.
After 4hours, midnight in India (1:00AM) how can i watch live this session😂. I shall sleep😴💤...
You have to stay up man come one 😂😂😂
i'm rewatching it in Pakistan watch it later lol it is worth it.
His reaction when no one can favor any belief over another give me a heartache. Indoctrination is a huge part of society that is unfortunately way too effective.
This is clearly a religious school it shocks me the lack of curiosity and the religious filter they have . id be drilling dawkins with questions when i was that age none of which would have anything to do with religion coz by that age i had already figured out religion was a santa claus.
Is it? Looks like any state school in London
The only person I admire; Mr Dawkins.
I feel sorry for the religious ones that are implacable. Their parents baked them deep and dark.
I was wondering where to find resources, perhaps a video, with calculations on the proportions of useful/benign/harmful mutations and how they are inherited in a population?
I'd suggest searching evolutionary biology.
Wow, I think our education is going backwards. I was born into relative poverty in the 1950s but had a solid education. We sang methodist hymns every morning and we're mostly Christian background. However by the age of 9 or 10, I realised Santa was made up, as was God and jesus. Most of us felt the same. Nice stories like The good Samaritan and David and Goliath but we knew it was all billy bollocks. Learning about other world religions just convinced me even more. Make the most of every day we have left and be kind to others.
You mean you didn’t believe David took out Goliath after days of everyone refusing to fight him and the armies just sitting and waiting? You don’t think David took hundreds of foreskins from dead philistines back to Saul as evidence that he’d killed them?
Never mind turn the other cheek! Keep your Crown Jewels well protected!
yeah i think when childrens realise that santa is not real thats when they shouldve known that thats the same for their religious champions lol but i guess not which is really alarming
It's mostly just Islam that is ferocious in its brainwashing. Christianity can be too. The other religions are more cultural than dogmatic, imo.
What a privilege for these kids! I'm green with envy.
This is a favorite ❤
Where’s the part where they searched for fossils? Please 🙏
You should visit Indonesia, there is a lot of fossils found here. We have museum of it.
And why the science teacher had not explained what a theory is in the world of science
Wish I could have had such a debate with my students, but it would have been strongly discouraged at all the schools I taught in.
A great vid, thanks. I wonder if evolution also means you can genetically develop cancer? I do know about BRCA1 & 2 gene & these are inherited, but what about Leukemia? Could you inherit that from your parents?
There are some inherited cancer syndromes as you point out. Some of them can cause leukaemia. If you can reproduce before you succumb to the cancer process, then natural selection will not remove these errors. In the wild, if the elder members of the group play an important role, then any premature death has a survival disadvantage; elephants and some primates. Rodents, insects and most birds less so.
What kind of mixed up world would we have if everyone just believed what they wanted based on no fact. Chaos.
what type of world... the mixed up world we have
Hello, Dr. Richard Dawkins! You advocate the scientific spirit, and I know you read your book: The Selfish Gene.我支持您！
How high a the chances that my questions will taken up by Mr. Dawkins if I send them a letter and if considered interesting can he upload them as a Q&A on a subsequent Video?
Resentment to the parents who primed these kids with religious questions.
Missing link is funny tool, because, no mater how many missing links you discover, there will always be some space between found species, where you can stick this "missing link" thing. And we would have missing link until we would have all the corpses of our ancestors, which we of course can never have.
There's an old joke, avout when science fills a creationist gap, they will simply claim that makes two gaps, one on each side.
@@richardgregory3684well said…
Always enjoy his uploads. Richard Dawkins and his books and documentaries teaching evolution, is what woke me up from being a Jehovah’s Witness. Since that organization has always denied evolution as being true.
When the question comes up, whether or not scientist, believe in God, whether or not God is compatible with science, the most important thing is what is the definition of God? if one uses the word God to mean the mystery of the universe itself that is quite different from the belief that God is a magic sky daddy who is concerned with your behavior in actively involves himself with your life
Awesome answers. In science things get updated constantly, for example now we've found many planets where live could've existed. In religion sometimes they update the things that become ridiculously naive then they say God lied in the previous statements, or at leas that's the only explanation :)))
El Dr. Dawkins es, aunque parezca paradojico, como un profeta en el desierto discutiendo con elegancia sobre temas de evolución a jovenes que, como en muchas partes del mundo, lo primero que recibieron fue conocimiento religioso
A great man .
Mr Dawkins is a brilliant man and a first class educator. But it is astonishing to realize what devastating effects indoctrination with the religion of the parents and the community can have on young children!
About life and why we are here, there are a thousand narratives to tell, and whether they are born of scientific fact, myth or legend, each may have its meaning. It is a brave and wise soul who comes forward and tries to sort them out as to their validity, but Richard Dawkins is one, and he commands the greatest respect as a foremost thinker of our time. I only wonder, though, that the narratives provided by religion, while they probably fall into the category of myth and legend, might too have their place in the human imagination. We each have to grapple with the unimaginable, and no matter what explanation we encounter, Darwinian or otherwise, the answers are still far beyond what we can humanly comprehend. Perhaps things connect more than he suggests. I also like how Professor Dawkins speaks of poetry, music and mathematics.
I know Richard Dawkins would agree that religious myths and legends have a very important place in the human imagination - just not in fact.

In fact, we are all descendants of rock (carbon).
"it can be argued that these Constants are very finely-tuned or we wouldn't be here". Dawkins ( Poetry of Reality, Aliens, God 31-33mins). " Our conclusion is that the fundamental properties of the universe appear to be fine-tuned for Life"- 'A Fortunate Universe' book by theoretical physicists Lewis and Barnes. We have observable evidence for one fine-tuned universe with emergent unguided processes such as evolution by natural selection. The fine-tuning argument rules out any Religious Gods, but points to a Mind behind all this.
I would love to speak to students in the school I work in over in Ireland about evolution like this,I mean they touch on it in their science class but unfortunately this school is a "faith based school" as the principal puts it so a comprehensive talk like this video will never happen.
You are a wonderful person Prof. Dawkins I dont know how you can deal with religious indoctrination so politely, although there was a little bit of an edge with the self-satisfied blonde churchgoer lol!
