Bhairitu, This rabbi, who is featured in the video clip, is a fairly young guy and is more likely repeating the thoughts of his teachers. IMO, he's taking the Torah literally and not allegorically.

And at that the true meaning of the allegories have probably long been lost in antiquity. But they sure do waste a lot of grown people's minds who should be doing something else worthwhile.

They believe in a fairy tale, and for ego reasons they want everyone else to believe in the same fairy tale. So they make up a fake "science" to account for the events in the fairy tale, and then try to get schools to teach it to kids too young to know the difference. They're essentially playing the "long game" in exactly the same way that the David Lynch Foundation is. Both sets of True Believers think that if they indoctrinate kids to believe their crap when they're young, they will still believe it when they're older. And they may be right. Look, after all, at what happened to them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ah5xFMYbP4s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ah5xFMYbP4s From: salyavin808 <[email protected]> mailto:[email protected] I watched as far as the bit where he's introduced as being part of the "intelligent design" faith's founding members. But it's for sure a challenging title, the idea that the devil is behind the idea that god doesn't exist is a curious one that any philosopher ought to be able to make short work of. Except this guy obviously... The thing about ID is that, like any other religion, they didn't tackle their critics head on and refute the rather obvious shortcoming of their idea that life was created - or guided by - by some sort of supernatural being. Instead they just plod on with the same old god-of-the-gaps jibberish thinly disguised as cutting edge thinking. How many times do we have to point out that evolution isn't random but occurs among populations or that there really are no irreducible structures in nature? But funniest of all, they had a planning meeting and someone left a copy of the agenda in a copier in a public library and it got published. They tried to deny it, but the inescapable truth is that the ID crowd are a bunch of creationist true believers who try to use the language of science to get their beliefs taught in schools. That is their plan and they do quite well because they can afford to send out info packs and DVD's that underfunded public schools love because it sounds technically convincing and they can save a bit of money. In the illogical spirit of the title, I hope there is a god and he damns them to hell for corrupting young minds. ---In [email protected] mailto:[email protected], <jr_esq@...> mailto:jr_esq@... wrote : This is a lecture about atheism and its scientific pretensions. Dr. Berlinsky presents an interesting lecture about the current state of scientific progress. He also does not believe in Darwin's Theory. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0XIDykeZplU&spfreload=1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0XIDykeZplU&spfreload=1
