Philosopher and novelist David Berlinski is an early and interesting Darwin skeptic. His iconic 1996 Commentary essay, The Deniable Darwin, set thousands of people thinking.

Anyway, hat tip to Philip Cunningham:

1:16 – Berlinski’s background

2:17 – Does Materialism makes sense?

3:47 – What are the Laws of Nature

10:01 – What is consciousness?

15:47 – Is Artificial Intelligence a threat?

19:36 – Is Darwinian Evolution on its way out?

23:28 – How did language originate?

35:03 – Does religion poison human morality? 37:35 – Can science teach us morality? 40:49 – How influential has New Atheism been? 41:24 – Spiritual but not religious/ are we just bodies? 42:52 – Can religious ideas make a comeback in the west?

35:03 – Does religion poison human morality?

37:35 – Can science teach us morality?

40:49 – How influential has New Atheism been?

One of our nice Atheist friends claimed this: "David Berlinski is an arrogant pompous jerk!!!!!! " Whatever. Notice that our friend didn't claim this: "David Berlinski is wrong" I mean, in Science, isn't being right the bottom line?chris haynes

Arrogant, pompous jerks. Sounds like every evolutionist. Evos hate Berlinski because he shreds their "arguments" and makes it look easy. He exposes their many houses of cards and they crash with a wave of his hand and his soft spoken words. His is an intellect evos do not want to deal with. And they will do anything but actually respond to what he is saying.ET
