Piers Morgan DESTROYS Richard Dawkins with One Question

Richard Dawkins was on the Piers Morgan Show and he finally got pressed on what happened before the big bang.

This video is beyond ridiculous. To the question: "what was before the big bang?" the appropriate answer is "I don't know." That's completely intellectually honest and true. It's OK not to know something. Not knowing something doesn't mean the answer is "magic sky man."

[Richard-brv]

God was created by mankind not the other way around

[FECtetra]

Destroys? 😂

Religions people are hilarious.

[martian-sunset]

"...a Christ-centered worldview." lol Just imagine how much better the world would be if everyone adopted an "intelligence-centered worldview" instead.

[ndjarnag]

Dawkins did not say there is no understanding the Big Bang. He said understanding the beginning of the universe is not intuitive to human understanding.

[PJSM]

Piers being dense and deliberately having selective hearing.. no surprise. Theists aren't typically the sort of people who do much thinking.

[qfmbptt]

The funny part is, that you could apply the same question to god. So, what was before god?

[hudsonquay]

This is a great example of the difficulty of debating theists. Richard is making perfect sense but Piers and the guy in the small box think they've nailed him.

[mariuszobijalski]

Read about the "god of gaps" concept. If we, as a humanity, do not know something the most ignorant reply is "oh! so it has to be god!". Dawkins is humble enough to admit that he doesn't know. and I assume that you know what was before the Big Bang. Great! I will be the first to congratulate you your Nobel Prize.

[Richard-brv]

BS. Piers Morgan did not destroy Richard Dawkins. On the contrary Richard Dawkins destroyed Piers Morgan for such a stupid question.

[daverobertson]

Creationists need to learn to use a dictionary. But they won't

[spindoctor]

If that is some big gotcha question then the same applies to what was there before god? It is deliberately ignorant and/or intellectually dishonest.

[patrickdowney]

In his next interview, Piers Morgan will be asking Milton Friedman what is north of the North Pole.

[stevebunyan]

Friends was my go to show before The Big Bang - does that help Piers?

[tedgrant]

What was god doing before chapter one of the Bible ?
Oh, wait a moment, he's timeless, right ?
So he weren't doin nutin 😂

[Maxibo]

The fact that you don't know the difference in levels of complexity between philosophy and phyics is incredible...

[JoshB]

If youre standing on the north pole, and i ask you to head north. Which direction is north? The question has no meaning while standing on the north pole..

Same principle regarding time at the beginning of the universe

[jimausg]

This video overlooks some important points. Richard Dawkins admits that the origins of the universe are complex and that physicists are better equipped to address those questions. It's not contradictory for him to defer to experts in another field. Just because we don't fully understand what happened before the Big Bang doesn't mean we should jump to the conclusion that God is the explanation. Filling gaps in our knowledge with assumptions isn't helpful. It's important to recognize the limits of our understanding without making unwarranted leaps.

At least Atheism don't clam to have all answers to everything. Science constantly is in thrilling and exciting quest for the debunking the myths and researching the mysteries by collecting data and observing. When at the same time you have religions that already knows and have answers to everything or even better, don't allow "god's secrets" be researched.

[randylothrop]

You're definitely not being honest. Is that what a good Christian should do? When Richard says "I cannot explain what was there before the big bang" he should be saying that NO ONE can explain it. Your silly religion is presuppositional, while science is based on evidence based rationalization.
