Atheist Answers #15: DNA is Evidence for God

"Atheist Answers" responds to common claims made by Christian (and other religions) apologists. Today's video responds to the common creationist claim that because DNA resembles computer code, that is evidence for God.

Argument from ignorance fallacy:

Abiogenesis:

The Watchmaker Argument:

I was watching Fast and Furious 7 until a notification for your video came up.

Watching your anti-theism videos is a better experience than watching a heist movie.

[tshid.t]

And another excellent video! Well done, Underlings!

[GuitarDog_atx]

Great vid. Good points. It's more god of the gaps.

Question: What ever happened to that dude who used to pull the sun across the sky with his chariot?

Answer: He got laid off. But got a new job building DNA molecules

[salpertia]

Nice to see a video from you.

(Insert trumpet noise)

[Magic]

Great article is good to see you around again. I enjoyed your research on these topics

[justsomegeekyguy]

We still don't have concrete evidence of how DNA could have formed, it possibly could have formed through natural processes. Which isn't absurd to assume since we see natural processes create complex things all the time.

But that's the problem with creationists: They assume lack of knowledge is evidence of good, it isn't. It's just evidence of lack of knowledge.

Anytime someone says, "God did it, " I find it fun to back up the conversation by asking, "Oh? Which god?" and then logically steering the conversation in such a way afterwards that they can't get back to reasonably attributing anything to their personally preferred version of a deity.

Great video explaining the concept of critical thinking of DNA origin (your voice sounds like Alucard from Hellsing anime 😅)

[ivanboy]

Can you make a video called what was god thinking part 2 based on my other comment I made ?

[Mirage.John]

Can I ask a question :
“Double Helix + Four-nucleotides + Man’s body = DNA (human blueprint)”, the fact.
“Whirlwind + Four living creatures + likeness of a Man = the words of Bible (KJV), human blueprint or ??

Religious fanatics claims EVERYTHING was made by god.
They can NEVER prove it, so they simplistically say EVERYTHING is prove of god. How honest of them.

[muromska]

Are you ever going to plan on a video on other religions?

[redblaze]

I argued with one creationist about Noah's Ark, and she claimed that back then they had more advanced technology which is how they managed to build it. Those people will never admit when they've been disproven, and even if, they will make up new silly arguments like this.

[speedingatheist]

Why did you make David Silverman say that silly thing about tides?

[DeconvertedMan]

DNA still doesn't have "god inside" XD

[captainful]

Your wrong, Gods Not Dead, even the worlds most famous Athiest Anthony Flew recanted his atheism after 50 years and wrote several books on it, saying that the complexity of the cell is too complex to happen by random chances, WAKE UP

[frosted]

Well.. the rebuttal should be this:
Complexity is not intent. The "code" that people refer is a real code, made by humans, we call language. ATGC is shorthand for adenine thymine guanine and cytosine, which in turn are human labels for chemical components found in DNA (another shorthand "code"). A label made by an intelligence doesn't make what's labeled a product of that intelligence.

Under the right conditions the internet would have invented itself.

[christiaanklopper]

I’ve seen a lot of atheists mention this but only glanced it over...

Would you be interested in making a video of the following topic?

All evil gods, demons, monsters or dangerous spirits who are capable of being summoned... Can be done through a living sacrifice, be it animal or man!

So my question is, why would a GOOD GOD be capable and willing to be summoned in such a manner?

[yosef]

Following your thinking, matter is god.
