Well today there is one more thing that learns cumulatively faster than humans. They are of course, computer programs. We might just witness a leap in evolution in our lifetime.
I honestly expected David would end with that. -
It took 17 minutes for him to finally tell us what he was selling.

Watch and listen for the "magical" science of the gaps. He can't explain what caused the Big Bang... (It's "magical!!") He can't explain how DNA managed to replicate itself or transmit Information. (It's "magical!")
Gosh, I thought we were going to hear a lecture from a scientist, not a magician! -
Humans aren't the only species that pass down information through generations. Many other primates do as well.

Keanu: "WHOA"...

Let the creationist comments slide off you, they know no reason.
-
is this guy a creationist freak
-
predatory memes and temetics are far more destructive than nuclear weapons imho
-
I thought this would help me on my history semester exam
-
All wrong, the universe was created by God...punkt...
-
great lecture ever heard
-
what a speech! not a single um or ah, or like, or you know. ... a professional
-
can anyone link the syllabus he mentioned??
-
Show me some extracellular DNA forming and replicating. I will give you the biggest ocean of whatever amino acids you like.

You creationists doubt that the Universe started with the Big Bang, mainly asking how could all of the Universe "come out of nothing"?
But at the same time you have no problem to believe that God was "just" there from the very beginning (so apparently he also came into existence out of nothing) and that he himself then made the Universe... out of nothing?!?
You are literally shifting the problems you have with these scientific findings to your 2000 year old theorie... -
He lost me when he said that there was totally nothing. Then boom. A whole universe was there. How can nothing create a whole universe. God creating the heavens and the earth sounds like a more logical option.
-
Things go from order to disorder unless life and intelligence is involved. Why is science so blind to this simple fact? Could it be because they do not want to believe in a God, that would hold them accountable for their actions?
"For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his works should be exposed." -
Why isn´t this guy president of the world?
-
I just don't have enough faith to be an atheist

It is impossible that a living thing originated from non-living things. Human capability to weigh and reason through his mind and conscience cannot just happen by chance. It is not logical to think that a big bang can explode from nowhere, etc. I believe, Someone higher than us have created everything: living and nonliving, even the invisible beings that cannot be seen by our naked eyes in the present time (world of the spirits). I pray that your intelligence be filled with wisdom by seeking your Creator through the pages of the Bible Mr David. TO GOD BE THE GLORY IN CHRIST JESUS...
