Errors and Logical Fallacies of Dr. Zakir Naik

Zakir Naik makes a lot of errors and logical fallacies in this video which I will highlight. For someone who qualifies most answers with “I’m a medical doctor”, he sure has no idea how science works - as evidenced by his views on evolution here.

Yes yes I can't wait! As an athiest from a muslim background, I'm so happy that you are not shying away from criticising charlatans from the muslim community as well. Thank you!

"I have a PhD in one field of science, therefore I can speak with authority on all fields" seems to be a disturbingly common thing nowadays.

[syedshahrukh]

Finally somebody in our country with reasoning abilities. Good work bro .

Why can't I find a video where Zakir Naik debates with a real scientist or a video of a scientist supporting his words?... Every time I enter keywords what always appears are Islamic channels which of course are difficult to be objective in watching.

6:10 simple answer is surface tension. You can think of it like, you have to apply a certain force to break the surface of water of some area but this force is very small so most of the things breaks the surface but it is enough to hold a light metal blade with its surface parallel to water surface which will apply very little force per unit area on water surface.

For those who think this guy was targeting only Hindus because he was innocently simple exposing pseudoscience. This video will be a slap.

"I'm a medical doctor" is also a logical fallacy ie. Apeal to Authority.

Science is not eastern or western. Science is science.

Zakir Naik approach: if you can't convince them confuse them!

[vamsikrishna]

I am tolerant to all religions but intolerant to pseudo-science. Even if pseudo-science comes from religion.

The guy (who was a kid at that time) who questioned ZN is a Real Hero ! calm collected and sure...wonder where he is now! thanks to people who stand up to pseudoscience....true enlightenment through magic of reality! this episode is such a classic1

The way you explained the scientific method was stellar. Awesome stuff man

[kritiigupta]

Can we also take a moment to appreciate that poor guy who stood there fearlessly debating with Zakir Naik, and the way he stood up for science and logically spoke abt everything ! 👏👏

[shaksiyat]

Can't believe I was fooled by him when I was young

[ArifHussainTheruvath]

Good one Pranav. Expecting more on this series...!

Btw - watch ur head LOL..! 😁

[amanawasthi]

I am a "medical doctor" and I have never called myself medical doctor other than this comment.

[prettypawsclaws]

[cpsaleemyt]

Brother Zakir Naik ! It's the " THEORY" of Gravitation that's keeping you on the stage all the time and NOT floating about everytime
you shout loudly !😃

Earlier times people just defended their religion with just religious quotes. Now they interpret their religious quotes through science. They bring dark matter, quantum physics, dark energy, black hole and every other things to their argument. 😂
