This week I address a long comment submitted by a viewer in Episode 63: The Lies of Evolution.  My contention is that evolution, as a theory, is taught to us on several pillars, nearly all of which, are full of holes if not completely disproven.  I think by answering the viewers comment we might expand on this important issue and perhaps convince all of us to dig a litter deeper and not just accept what we are told is settled science.    God loves you!!excuse any curtness, I lost the original comment when I accidentally clicked off your video.  4:05 please read what Darwin said before and after these quotes. you go off as if he says nothing. but he does address these questions, because he was bringing them up rhetorically. and if he's wrong, then I'm wrong, and nothing you said has convinced me that I should look into it further. @cediviannareeda4305 I think it would absolutely blow your mind to see what atheists have to say about these things. textbooks aren't written to tackle every tiny nitpick from every rapidly shrinking community with a vested interest in not believing in Evolution…@cediviannareeda4305 Arthur Eddington, who famously proved Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity once said, “philosophically, the notion of a beginning to the present order of Nature is repugnant.”  Arthur Eddington, The End of the World: From the Standpoint of Mathematical Physics, Nature 127 (1931) pg 447“Of course, dyed-in-the-wool faith-heads are immune to argument, their resistance built up over years of childhood indoctrination using methods that took centuries to mature (whether by evolution or design).”  Richard Dawkins, The God Delusion, 2006“Atheists do not have faith; and reason alone could not propel one to total conviction that anything definitely does not exist.”  Richard Dawkins, The God Delusion, 2006“If all the evidence in the universe turned in favor of creationism, I would be the first to admit it, and I would immediately change my mind.  As things stand, however, all available evidence (and there is a vast amount of it) favors evolution.  It is for this reason and this reason alone that I argue for evolution with a passion that matches the passion of those who argue against it.  My passion is based on evidence.  Theirs, flying in the face of evidence as it does, is truly fundamentalist.” Richard Dawkins, The God Delusion, 2006The physical constants, things like the speed of light, the gravitational constant, the strong and weak force things, physicists agree, most physicists agree, that if you change any of those constants by even a very, very small amount, than we don’t come into existence.  The universe doesn’t come into existence.  They have to be like that in order for galaxies to form, for stars to form, for chemistry to form actually.  And then for the prerequisite for life to evolve, need that as well.  So that is the nearest approach to a good argument.”  Richard Dawkins, Fine-tuning is a good argument for God - Richard Dawkins - YouTube, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=apWOkC7krfQ
