Did Darwin Kill God?
#9
RE: Did Darwin Kill God?
Not worth watching at all. The guy makes up a word "ultra-darwinist" and then proceeds to use it throughout the film to categorize everyone who doesn't agree with him. This includes atheists like Dawkins, and people who believe "Meme theory", even though the two groups do not mix very easily. At the end of the film, he claims that because "ultra-darwinists" (he is speaking about meme-theorists at this point) cannot prove meme-theory, or that the "darwin meme" is true, then they cannot prove God doesn't exist.

Very sneakily done, put groups A and B in group C even thought A does not necessarily equate to B, and then use the flaws of one of the groups A/B to say that the entire group C is at fault. It's like putting homeopathic doctors into a group with people who believe in UFO's, and then saying that because homeopathy doesn't work, UFO's don't exist.

Pathetic argument.
