Richard Dawkins on the ABC · The Slippery Slope

0:03
Boy Jeff Allen, thank you for listening to the slippery slope.
0:06
So this morning in Australia and Queensland I was watching the
0:11
ABC breakfast, news program, you know, and they had I think
0:16
they're calling doctor or Professor, Richard Dawkins, you
0:19
know, he believes goes around debating people talking about
0:22
pushing the propaganda that, you know, Evolution that's that's
0:27
the reality. All religions are false, he
0:31
really loves debating. Christian Christian people and
0:37
trying to debunk debunk. Quote-unquote, the Bible and he
0:43
pushes for this fact, you know that he wants to look at facts,
0:47
doesn't care about feelings. Personal opinion is the Bible,
0:53
very easily, proves itself. It's full of facts, just two
0:58
facts to facts, that come from the Bible that I'll that I'll
1:02
share with you. Okay, the main Jesus, the son of
1:07
God, God in the form of man. Jesus Christ was predicted his
1:13
birth and his death was predicted a minimum 500 years
1:19
before he arrived. There is details in the Bible,
1:23
about his, his rival, where he would be born, when he'd be born
1:29
where his parents would bring him from.
1:33
His ministry in general. Okay was all predicted in the
1:36
Bible hundreds of years before it actually happened and two
1:42
thousand years later we are still talking about him that is
1:45
not just coincidence and historians all agree, maybe not
1:51
all but is generally yes. Agreed that the man Jesus
1:57
existed and like I said there are so many prophecies
2:01
predictions in the Bible. Talking about such exact events
2:06
that would happen and they did actually happen.
2:08
So that's just one thing just gloss over.
2:11
Second thing is the nation of Israel.
2:13
The Bible spoke of the nation of Israel being dispersed.
2:18
The people Israeli people Jews being dispersed all over the
2:23
world and that they would come to reform the nation in the
2:26
latter days. That's what the Bible said, then
2:28
the nation of these rather people who identify as being the
2:32
Jews. The people live in Israel,
2:34
they're the only people group ever in the history of the world
2:38
to do, just wander around the world for over.
2:42
This is around 2,000 years, they kept their, they kept their
2:46
language, they kept their culture, they kept their
2:49
religion, 2,000 years later, 1948.
2:52
I believe it was the nation of Israel was reformed, and there
2:56
are so many prophecies in the Bible.
2:58
Talking about that. It's, it's amazing.
3:02
It's amazing that it could Happen.
3:03
And it's not the idea that people would put a just down to
3:08
some random coincidence. You know, the Bible says, lots
3:11
of things that have happened that have already occurred and
3:14
it says, make predictions about the timeline.
3:17
All along, all in the Bible things that are coming and we
3:20
can see them starting to form. All of that, okay?
3:25
Just to say, I want to talk about this Dawkins fella.
3:28
He wants to talk about facts. Well, let's talk about fact,
3:33
let's see what he wants to talk about and is he really
3:39
discussing facts? Or is he just ignoring the
3:42
facts? Do I have any sort of religion
3:48
of their worship of facts supported by evidence and we've
3:52
seen an erosion of respect for that partly because of the
3:56
covid. The anti-vaxxers, for example, I
4:01
think we need to regain our respect for fats, for
4:04
evidence-based, fat, science science, demonstrated facts.
4:07
How do we do that? If we're talking not just of
4:10
misinformation here, but straight out disinformation
4:13
people with evil intent, spreading This information about
4:17
vaccines about other elements of our fight against covert.
4:20
How, in your view, Richard, do we confront that and try to get
4:23
back on an even Keel? I just briefly, wouldn't win
4:27
with Michaels dogging about people with spreading
4:30
misinformation with evil intent. Is he forgetting the
4:34
government's in big farmer is he who were spreading
4:38
misinformation so much misinformation, doctors that
4:42
continue to go along with the narrative because they're too
4:44
scared that there. Insurance companies were going
4:48
to, we're going to push them aside and we're going to allow
4:51
them to practice. How about that for
4:53
misinformation or fauci? Who kept lying to everyone?
4:58
Telling everyone? Yep.
4:59
No. It came out of the wet markets,
5:02
whatever. You want to call them, ignore
5:03
the laboratory right next door to the wet Market, where they
5:06
actually create a virus, very similar, ignore that it came, it
5:12
was just a fluke of nature came out of the wet markets.
5:15
Pushing Buganda, the ABC of the worse for it.
5:19
Big Pharma crikey. I think it's a very difficult
5:22
question. I don't understand why anyone
5:24
would wish to purvey misinformation.
5:27
As you say deliberate misinformation in the case of
5:31
the. So the oil industry and global
5:33
warming. You can see they have a
5:34
financial interest. I don't understand what the the
5:37
interest is on the empty boxes in America.
5:40
I think it may be joined up with a kind of tribalism where you
5:45
have There's my tribe and their tribe, our tribe begins in the
5:51
believes in, in the death penalty and anti-vaccine in in
5:55
Trump and what stuff and the other tribe is the Liberals and
6:00
somehow people are biased into whatever suits My Tribe never
6:06
think is pernicious its social media.
6:08
I mean that that is grown substantially since 2018.
6:11
What impact do you think God has Twitter Instagram and the short
6:15
attention? Spans involved in using these
6:17
platforms on critical reasoning and on science and thinking it
6:21
is a strange thing, isn't it? That whereas, before the social
6:24
media on the internet arrived, you could write letters to the
6:28
newspapers and there was a kind of gatekeeper their letters
6:31
might be published. Within might more, probably be
6:33
not. Now anybody can sound off at any
6:36
time. It's equivalent to writing
6:38
graffiti on a wall but it's it goes all around the world and
6:42
that is a fascinating interesting change but it does
6:46
have its Dark side as well. Richard, the other thing that's
6:48
happened of course since you were last in Australia is
6:51
Australia. Like so many countries has seen
6:54
the number of people just briefly I heard her.
6:58
And she started shaping forming this question and I thought ah
7:03
she's gonna actually going to be, you know, he's talking about
7:05
facts. She's going to bring up how this
7:09
rise in the trans ideology and how do we deal with that?
7:12
Because obviously trans ideology is not, Factual, you know, there
7:18
are six, you genders are binary, that's a fact chromosomes.
7:26
There a fact, the Thought process that brings you to this
7:34
place, where you can think that your name now, because I
7:37
identify as something that makes me something and we have this
7:41
trans women trans man phenomenon going on.
7:45
But yet, no, she wasn't going there there.
7:48
She's sticking to the facts and how, you know, religion, of
7:52
course, it's all about religion, but this guy, well, identifying
7:56
as Christians drop, what do you do?
8:00
Do you take that as a win given your view of religion?
8:04
Well, I like to see all religions drop, not just, just
8:09
Christian. And I have a soft spot for
8:10
certain Christian religions as being more benevolent than
8:15
others. But I do like the all
8:16
Superstition drop. I like to see instead a respect,
8:20
as I say, for evidence-based, fat and religion is nothing
8:24
about, it's not about evidence-based fact, you think
8:27
about a lot just briefly religion Nothing evidence-based,
8:32
the Bible. And what I want to speak to any
8:34
other religion because I am Christian up.
8:37
No, no, I think the Bible believe the Bible can prove the
8:41
Bible proves itself. The Bible is based on fact,
8:47
there are so many facts within the Bible.
8:49
Anyway, this, this person here and mind you, he believes,
8:53
obviously, in evolution, which is still a theory.
8:56
Never proven. There is nothing about Evolution
8:59
that can be proven nothing. It's all just Theory.
9:03
A lot of deep issues. Richard.
9:04
If there's one thing you could solve, what would that be?
9:10
I think the Reliance on feelings as opposed to evidence.
9:16
There's been, there's a Resurgence at the moment or a
9:19
surgeons at. The moment of my facts are mine,
9:23
I feel this way. Therefore, it just briefly when
9:27
he's talking here and this this Reliance on feelings over facts
9:31
and he's saying, you know, this Reliance, you know I feel my
9:35
facts of this way. I feel this way he is actually
9:38
alluding to To the trans ideology.
9:41
And yet, you'll notice the Glee on the, the commentators, on the
9:46
reporters faces here. They, they're not, they're not
9:49
even considering how biased they have been in the past because
9:55
they have trans identifying people on their program and they
9:58
go along with the narrative, they help support the narrative,
10:01
even though we all know, it's not true.
10:04
Even though we all know that gender is binary and that your
10:07
chromosomes, you know, they can't just be changed magically
10:11
because you have a little pea brain moment and yet the Glee on
10:17
their faces when they're talking about feelings versus facts.
10:20
And yet they ignore the propaganda that the station, the
10:25
ABC constantly pushes about the trans gender.
10:30
Identity ideology must be true. You must Leave what I believe
10:35
because I'm because I feel it so strongly.
10:37
I don't care what you feel. I care what the evidence is shut
10:41
up. About your feelings, is my
10:42
attitude showcase. Do I as you as you head into
10:48
your later years and real? Sorry, when they say, you know,
10:51
he's so happy here. It's so old, Michael.
10:55
I think his name is, she's so happy.
10:56
Here are your, that's the way because they're talking about
10:59
the vaccine. They don't want to hear the
11:01
narrative. They don't wanna hear anyone
11:03
come up with evidence evidence that the vaccines don't work,
11:07
because the ABC still pushes the propaganda that that, you know,
11:12
if you catch covid-19, you're not vaccinated.
11:14
You are so much more likely to die.
11:16
And gets now that we're seeing all these cases of people dying
11:20
because of the vaccine, they don't want to talk about that.
11:23
They don't discuss it. No, we don't want to hear about
11:25
your feelings. He's so just full of Glee.
11:29
So joyful. Yes, anything.
11:31
Like I said, he ignores the fact that The ABC pushes the trans
11:35
gender ideology, which is not fact, reflect on an incredible
11:42
life, have your views on anything changed.
11:47
Well, nothing that would be very of much interest.
11:50
I mean, in detailed scientific matters I've changed my mind
11:54
because the evidence is changed and that's the only reason why
11:58
should one should change. One's mind.
12:03
So, there you go. The ABC talking about talking
12:07
with Richard. Dawkins, like I said, the
12:10
hypocrisy coming out of the ABC when they're talking about
12:14
feelings over facts. And yes, my for your feelings,
12:17
don't matter. I want to deal with facts and
12:20
yet they constantly hold up this trans gender ideology.
12:25
As being fact, they love it. They pushing a propaganda.
12:29
Everything is against religion. Especially against Christianity,
12:33
they will push back against any Bible Bible, believing
12:37
Christians, all day, every day. They and, and yet they didn't
12:42
continue to go around upholding this crazy ideology that you
12:47
know, this track Crazy Craft trans trans ideology.
12:52
You see some of the some of the TV shows, some of the
12:54
documentaries that come out of the ABC.
12:58
They say they need to hang their head in shame.
13:01
They push this ideology constantly and then they have
13:05
someone like Richard Dawkins on, they're talking about facts who
13:08
he constantly ignores the facts within the Bible when it comes
13:12
to the Bible. But I mean like I said before
13:16
the worst thing about the ABC is there publicly funded, it's our
13:19
money that goes in there to push their propaganda.
13:24
Anyway, let me know what you think.
13:26
I think Richard Dawkins needs to maybe not be so biased.
13:30
And maybe look at things more with an open mind.
13:35
Maybe realize that he constantly ignores the facts and the ABC,
13:39
like I said, constantly ignores their own hypocrisy just so that
13:43
they can push their not so hidden agenda.
13:47
That's just my opinion. Please let me know what you
13:50
think. Thank you for listening to the
13:52
slippery slope. Thank you for listening to the
13:52
slippery slope.
