To everyone ragging on Richard for his acting, please understand that he had an hour to shoot this. He's reading everything from a prompter, because that's all we had time to do. Forget the fact that acting is not his job. Considering how this was done, I think he did a spectacular job.
OK, it was very funny but... I *was* about to rage (in a friendly way) about his acting until I saw this. It was a bit like seeing Prince Charles or Margret Thatcher when they tried their hand at it and no news reader wanted to mention the "emperor's clothes" acting method. He shouldn't give up the day job but save another script for him anyway if he has time. I really enjoyed it. Remember, you're no Marlon Brando yourself and acting next to Dr D does you no harm at all ;-)
How about interviewing someone with Occam's razor? Or asking Mr. Deity things like DarkMatters asked in his video like "Hey Mr. Deity Do you know what it feels like to snort a stream of Coke off of a Hot Hookers arse?" Or "Do you know what it feels like to dance with Hades in the pale moon-light of the moons of Mercury*"? And of course if any answer = No a response must be you're not omniscient. And if you do know what it's like then you cannot be all good or all wise *if you answered yes you'd be a liar there are no moons on mercury:)
When Dawkins is giving a lecture, participating in a debate or just chatting with someone, he is much more animated and interesting. However, he's no actor so I applaud him for stepping out of his comfort zone and making this video.
So do I, and it’s weird how it’s also... good in some respect ? It’s like he can manage somehow thanks to being used to public speaking or something, but he isn’t quite there XD He doesn’t have the awkwardness of debuting/untrained actors, it’s quite funny.
I just wanna say, aside from this being a very enlightening video, it's beautiful to watch these two men who are both fans of each others' work doing a project together.
Боевой Гном That was a.very profound point you raised so I called God on his 0800 no. and a recorded message said all lines to the omnipotent one were busy but to wait in the queue as my call was deeply valued. I am still on hold listening to elevator muzak.....
Somehow I’m just finding your channel and I’m annoyed that you have been around for so long and somehow do not have at least 1 million subscribers. You’re killing it and I’m loving all of your content.!
Mr. Deity, how it comes I haven't learn about your channel until this year. Your content is very well thought and greatly produced. Dawkins is a great guest to any good show and this is no exception.
Prof. Dawkins is amazing. I am so grateful the he exists in this world. His mind is genius. I love the banana man reference. Keep it up!! Long live Richard Dawkins!!!
HAHAHA!!!! I love this!! I love Dawkins smirk at the very end of the video. Still a naughty schoolboy at heart. :D I really have to thank you for this video. I've been going through some real stress, and it was nice to have a laugh. Thanks :)
Shellfish Gene? oyster have one of those, made me cockle, I managed to muscle it out which made me less crabby to people. Good vid, sorry 4 shit puns = kek
@Taqifsha Nanen You can't change something that doesn't exist. Why is this so hard for your religiously constipate brain to comprehend? Oh..... I inadvertently answer my own question....your brain is full of religious sh!#
"You and that sour-Krauss" This is spectacular. Wish Richard would've had a bit more time to tune up on his acting, but beyond this it's extraordinary.
misterdeity Perhaps, but still. He's just not speaking naturally. His live speeches have had more character and feeling in them when saying the exact same things. I don't know why he couldn't act with that same emotion. I do suppose that if he had more than an hour, he might be able to focus himself into the right mood. But even then, he'd be no Lalla Ward.
Sines314 You also have to understand that he's not an actor, and if you think that acting was "atrocious," you clearly have never seen truly bad acting.
Now I've heard the guy who invented the .GIF format pronounce .GIF, and the guy who came up with memes pronounce memes. These are two of the most mispronounced words this decade. Now if someone could caption a GIF of how to pronounce meme, maybe it could go viral!
One of Mr. D’s best! And the in-faux-mercial that follows is hysterical… “three devices in one”… right through the rapidpatter disclaimer at the end. Steve
Giraffes originally had a much shorter and more direct recurrent laryngeal nerve, just as one would expect in a perfect design. It was man's fall into sin that caused it to lengthen and wrap around the aorta.
misterdeity Haha, suckah! But seriously, this was the kind of BS excuse I could expect from my creationist former boss whenever I had him backed in a corner. Somehow, the Fall of Man just seemed to explain away all the inconsistencies in the observable world.
The comedic conversation between you and Richard Dawkins was fantastic AND that hilarious commercial about a direct line to the Deity was also mind blowingly funny. Keep up the great work...I approve.
A "meme" is an idea that behaves like a gene - i.e. it spreads to other minds (copies itself), often imperfectly (mutation), and some survive while others don't (natural selection). Internet "memes" are something different, but they are also memes in the original sense. How your body develops is determined by genes. How societies develop is determined by memes.
But this isn't a conversation with a God, it's an interrogation of fictional character in a dream. If it were an actual conversation with God, I would spend time pleading for him to stop his sadistic games rather than complaining that he didn't make his presence known.
Sean Armstrong "if there is a god, it would be nice to have a conversation with such a god....he has a lot to answer for" Before I start jumping to conclusions, please enlighten me if you will: 1. Why would god have a conversation with you? Are you his secret informant here on earth and I don't know about it? Are you the most special individual of the human race which has ever existed since the beginning of time and you deserve a special audience with him??? Oh, please... JUST REMEMBER THAT THE ONLY POSSIBLE WAY TO SPEAK WITH GOD (IF HE DOESN'T ENGAGE WITH YOU IN A CONVERSATION) IS THROUGH YOUR ACTIONS! They will be your part of the dialog with him, at least this is what I think. 2. He has to answer for what?? People did horrible things in his name, and maybe they have received their equivalent punishment as a result. What did god do to offend you exactly? The fact that he created the system in which we live, in this manner and not another? Well, if he's the creator, he makes the rules. I agree that the rules are nasty, but if the rules are absolutely perfect, then there won't be a need for evolution, and therefore for the satisfaction that each individual has when he overcomes his more primitive state. Please, forget a possible conversation with god in your case! Especially if you believe that we appeared randomly like assholes on this perfectly-tuned planet which sustains life and which doesn't seem to weaken at it, even if we tear it apart with our actions...
V Marius "Why would god have a conversation with you?" If he's an eternal all powerful benevolent being that exists outside of the physical world and outside of time, he certainly has the capacity, the time and the willingness to talk with every single one of us. He designed a universe that is incredibly imperfect, he let horrible things happen in his name... I think that he at least owe us a few answers. "JUST REMEMBER THAT THE ONLY POSSIBLE WAY TO SPEAK WITH GOD (IF HE DOESN'T ENGAGE WITH YOU IN A CONVERSATION) IS THROUGH YOUR ACTIONS!" I find it rather amusing that you say that with such certainty when really it's just a baseless assumption. You assume it works like that not because there is evidence that it works like that, but just because you find it convenient. "if you believe that we appeared randomly like assholes on this perfectly-tuned planet" Tornados, volcanos, hurricanes, meteor strikes, earthquakes, droughts, diseases... How is our planet in any way perfectly tuned? It's stable enough to sustain life, but perfectly tuned? Seriously?
RE:Think Just because you are not a fan of Mitchell and Webb does not mean that Dawkins and they would be unable to do a good sketch. Just look at the thumbs up this sketch is getting.
Mr Deity _does_ seem camply catty in this video. But then...he _does_ live with a ghostly partner and an adopted son. Who thought his mother was a virgin, and hung out with 12 guys. Who were "fishers of men".
Richard gives glory to unguided matter thinking that it guided itself to significantly sequence every written directive to make every directed working thing. What a lame brain. You make me think that I am smart.
This. Is. Awesome! HA! Sour Krauss!!! Nice Ray Comfort banana stab at the end!! Brian keep the awesome goodness flowing!!! Sorry to hear about how rough this last year has been for you! Keep your chin up buddy!!! Yes going to donate right away!!
This video was terribly put together (not that my videos are any better in the production quality). However it amazes me how Evolutionists continue to use the same out-of-date arguments over and over again. The claims that the vertebrate eye are poorly designed have been discredited by ophthalmologists. I am pasting both an article from Creationists (who are also scientists) on this topic, and an article from a very highly respected mainstream journal. (So please, no ignorant comments about the fact that I am citing a Creationist source.) Honestly, I would really like to see a scientist who specializes in the vertebrate eye who has been keeping up with the research who endorses what Richard Dawkins has to say on this matter, because I keep finding that the Evolutionary propaganda put out by Dawkins, Coyne, and others is simply false. BTW, I am graduating this semester with my bachelors in Biotechnology and Molecular Bioscience, and I have an entire channel that focuses very much on Creation vs Evolution. creation.com/fibre-optics-in-eye-demolish-atheistic-bad-design-argument#endRef2 www.pnas.org/content/104/20/8287.full
I feel like I need to point this out: *Not only is the inverted wiring of our eyes a good design, necessary for proper functioning* See, this statement makes absolutely no sense, because at no point does this "research paper" come anywhere remotely near addressing _why_ they think that the optical structure most vertibrates have is "necessary for proper functioning". How do you define "necessary"? I mean, all it takes is one look at any other lineage of optical systems in nature to see that's absolutely _not_ the case. Cephalopods have their eyes constructed entirely opposite, with nerve fibers passing _behind_ the retina rather than right through it, leaving no blind spot at all where vertebrates have, and removing the need for the backwards photoreceptors, since they all face forwards. So either something is completely amiss here, and the Cephalopod lineage is a complete fluke, or this is _exactly what evolutionary theory expects to find_. Vertebrate eyes had a flaw, but it was a flaw that was propagated because there is no mechanism in nature for rebuilding biological systems from scratch. So the result is a flawed system that organisms adapt around. The reason we have a blind spot, backwards photoreceptors, and the nonsensical retina structure, is because that's the set of mutations that arose and propagated. We weren't lucky like squids, where we got the version of the eye that does all the same things with none of the drawbacks. *I am graduating this semester with my bachelors in Biotechnology and Molecular Bioscience* I guess they don't require you to actually know anything for a degree these days.
Pointing out that it is in function and operates (depending on species rather well) is not synonymous with "good designed". Good designed is to have all known visual abilities without even one circuitous route nor a blind spot. So the whole argument is not "well it is actually shit" - it is selected in various forms when you could design it far better and with far less effort or take direct routes like a squid or even better than that. It is the same creationistic nonsense, like claiming we are living in a wonderful world where we have ebola, pest etc. need to breath and drink and eat (kill other lifeforms) when even a third grade computer game programmer is able to build a world where you don't have to hunt, drink, eat and be revived from your last spot where you died. Why couldn't a god made the world like World of Warcraft when humans can create such worlds in a box all the time? Reason is simple: There is no intelligent behind nature.
1. The production values of the video far exceed those of your imaginary friend. 2. Creationists are NOT Scientists. Even if they think they are. 3. Boasting about your upcoming graduation equates to an argument from authority. assuming the veracity of your word! 4. I reckon bronze-age assertions are much more 'out-of-date' than peer-reviewed and thoroughly scrutinized scientific models in the 21st century.
Liam MacRoibin You can claim all day that there are not scientists who are also Creationists, but you just plain do not know what you are talking about. Look at Dr. John Sanford, look at Raymond Vahan Damadian, these are two of the greatest scientists in the world. So the bottom line is you can say all day that there are no scientists who are Creationists, but again, you just plain do not know what you are talking about or you are intentionally lying when you make this claim. Now you have two options here, you can choose to look up these names that I have given to you, and you can choose to do your homework and research other scientists along these lines, or you can choose to be willfully ignorant on this issue.
GreenSlugg *Liam MacRoibin You can claim all day that there are not scientists who are also Creationists,* No one claims there are not scientists who are Creationists. There certainly are a few. There are, however, no scientists who's focus of study is "creationism", because there's no science there. There is no scientific research or no peer-reviewed papers attempting to bring creationism into actual scrutiny because, you know, there's nothing to study. *Look at Dr. John Sanford, look at Raymond Vahan Damadian, these are two of the greatest scientists in the world.* John C. Standord, the plant geneticist? I'm not sure what in this man's resume would qualify him as "greatest scientist in the world", as all records I can find on the man indicate him as an above-average biologist who helped develop some techniques for genetic therapies and processes, and then went on to found some biotech companies in the 90s. The only reason I can see you even mentioning his name is *oh my god he decided he was a creationist in 2000*. Wow. Way to cherry pick your sources, broskillet. So I've gotta wonder here, how exactly do you establish who is among the "greatest scientists in the world"? Who ranks the scientists for this list? Is it a subjective thing, like we're just going to accept what _you_ think on the subject? Or is there some independent group out there who just compares all scientists and uses some criteria we have no idea about to tell us who the greatest scientist ever is? And if you're saying they're two of the greatest scientists, does that mean there are other even greater scientists out there? Are any of them non-Creationists, or in your world is believing that the earth is not even as old as the Egyptian civilization somehow a mandatory criteria for someone to have credibility as a scientist? You gotta be more specific here, man. *So the bottom line is you can say all day that there are no scientists who are Creationists,* We've been over this. By definition, any creationist who wants to be a scientists has to compartmentalize, because literally no scientific discovery or study lines up with any creationist dogma. *Now you have two options here, you can choose to look up these names that I have given to you* I did that. Sanford founded companies _Sanford Scientific_ and _Biolistics_, and decided he was a creationist in 2000. Damadian is a guy who invented the MRI machine, and happens to be a creationist. However, what you neglect to mention is that _neither of these men had any of their accomplishments influence, or more importantly, made possible by their accepting of creationism_. In fact, religious belief had nothing to do with either of their careers. So I'm not sure what your point is. You know who else was a creationist? Isaac Newton. You know who's mathematical work is still extremely important, and has absolutely nothing to do with theological beliefs? Isaac Newton. You know who also believed in alchemy and constantly drank mercury because he thought it had healing properties? Isaac Newton. *and research other scientists along these lines, or you can choose to be willfully ignorant on this issue.* Do you have any who have ever actually studied and demonstrated the truth or validity of their creationist beliefs? Because I'm positive you don't.
Brilliant, as always. Mr. D. is quite charismatic. The fuzz around Dawkins, like around 0:48, kinda makes it seem like this was shot on green-screens in separate locations... but the banana hand off makes it seem like you two are in the same room. Was this an in-person collab?
God never said that this creation was perfect. He said that it was good. Good for the purpose that it serves. Perfect would be an eternal heavenly state. The law of entropy (law of decay) is necessary for this universe to operate in this present state. God created this world in the temporal state that it resides in, not in some perfect state. And yet we are all here at this present moment in time. Hah, look at that, it all works. And yeah, God creates for his own purposes. And no, the universe is not only 6000 years old. And no, things didn't only start to decay at the fall of man. That has been read into the Bible by young earth creationist, and isn't true. God took millions of years to Incorporated plant and animal life back into the earth so we would have all the natural resources we use to fuel and build this modern world. Without them we would still be in caves rubbing sticks together. God works through natural process. We are presently in the seventh day of Gods creation (if you will notice there was no evening and morning for the seventh day. We are presently in the seventh day) the day of God resting from his creative work (and not resting because he was tired ha ha, resting because once he set things in motion there was no need for creative work. Evolution would be part of God setting things in motion) That is why you don't see the miraculous Once God was through with his creative work the miraculous ceased. God will not create again until he creates a new heaven and a new earth. Revelation 21
performancepoo Thank you for your wonderful in depth argument against what I posted. It must have taken you hours to prepare it before finally presenting it here.
***** Congratulations!!! You simply have a secular materialistic/naturalistic world view as your internalized frame of reference. So then why should we listen to someone that is nothing more than animated protoplasm??? You have to borrow from a world view of there being a creator to even have an argument.
In my part of jehovah's favourite planet the appelation 'Bungalo' is a term of ridicule. It suggests the person is thus described because there's nothing upstairs. You confirm the use of it.
I've come full circle! A couple of days (less than a week) ago I've come across this video, my first Mr. Deity video, after it showed up in my suggestions because I watched a lot of Richard Dawkins videos. Since then I've binge watched all Mr. Deity videos from the start up to here. I can't believe I only found this series now! Keep it up! And on I go to the next one... Brian, in case you see this. I'm sorry I can't donate, although I always watch the BS (as Amy calls them), because I'm a poor student. I don't drink coffee, already collect all my change, don't own a car and don't yet have children I could get rid of. If this show is still around in a few years when I am able to sustain myself financially, I'll make up for it.
Dragon Curve Enthusiast Hahahahaha!!! That's why it's important for those with resources to help. So people like you still have access. Darwin bless them all.
Ha! You really did see it! :-D Thank you for making these videos! They are hilarious and intelligent, which is a combination I enjoy and appreciate very much! Greetings from Europe!
Absolutely brilliant. I love it. I thought it was cleverly dubbed for the first few seconds or so, and then realised it was all live action. Not having seen this channel before, I had a sneaking suspicion it was going to turn out to be a mashup parody. I'm going to run off and watch some of the other videos on this channel now, and may well subscribe.
To everyone ragging on Richard for his acting, please understand that he had an hour to shoot this. He's reading everything from a prompter, because that's all we had time to do. Forget the fact that acting is not his job. Considering how this was done, I think he did a spectacular job.

he couldnt act in dawsons creek ! he cant act now!
When Dawkins is giving a lecture, participating in a debate or just chatting with someone, he is much more animated and interesting. However, he's no actor so I applaud him for stepping out of his comfort zone and making this video.
I actually really like Dawkins bad acting a LOT. His work is just so amazing its fun to see his human side and see him having a little fun! :P
So do I, and it’s weird how it’s also... good in some respect ? It’s like he can manage somehow thanks to being used to public speaking or something, but he isn’t quite there XD
He doesn’t have the awkwardness of debuting/untrained actors, it’s quite funny.
There's a video of him reading his hate mail out loud and it is so funny
It is kind of a goofy conversation to begin with, so a little "rough acting" is not a problem.
I just wanna say, aside from this being a very enlightening video, it's beautiful to watch these two men who are both fans of each others' work doing a project together.
Yes. The chemistry was evident. I think this might be my favorite Mr. Deity ever.
They should do more of these skits together.
One thing Dawkins got wrong. God isn't lazy. He created the universe but he doesn't run it. Too busy creating all those other multiverses.
Боевой Гном That was a.very profound point you raised so I called God on his 0800 no. and a recorded message said all lines to the omnipotent one were busy but to wait in the queue as my call was deeply valued. I am still on hold listening to elevator muzak.....

That's me.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😢😢😢😢😢😢 why ..... did you remind us
What are you guys talking about? Link pls?
Dr Shaym WHY DID YOU HAVE TO GO THERE!!! 😂😂😂😂
All I could imagine at the end was Dawkins waking up and thinking: "Worst acid trip ever"
That would be in the Sam Harris episode if there ever is one.
Somehow I’m just finding your channel and I’m annoyed that you have been around for so long and somehow do not have at least 1 million subscribers. You’re killing it and I’m loving all of your content.!
Dawkins would still make a better Batman than Ben Affleck.
+Charles Smith
That's racist! Yes it is, it's really, really racist!
+Charles Smith ...Someone make that happen right the fuck now.
+Charles Smith ahahahhaahahaha....true that
+Charles Smith I dunno..... I see him more as an Alfred than a Bruce.
Yep. Even Angry Joe backtracked. Batfleck surprised us all.
Richard Dawkins:
-Tweet
-Take nap
-Kill God
-Eat Banana
All in a day's work!
Mr. Deity, how it comes I haven't learn about your channel until this year. Your content is very well thought and greatly produced. Dawkins is a great guest to any good show and this is no exception.
I think he acted pretty well.
+Vorst Me too. After all, how are most actors at Biology? :\
I was more convinced by the other guy's Rolf Harris.
@MichaelKingsfordGray I think he meant Prof Dawkins. Mayim Bialik doesn't appear in this video
Most intelligent people like him are awkward at socializing.
"It only needed to be 2 inches long."
"That's what she said."
I especially like the jokes about E.O. Wilson's characterization of Dawkins as a "journalist." Ƹº˽ºƷ
The scathingly witty analogue of Wm Lane Craig as a skeevy, shyster lawyer seriously compromised the clean, dry integrity of my knickers!
Kaycee K Soiled knickers are a perfect analog for Craig.
misterdeity Spot on! [pun shamelessly intended]
No, no, no, he's a Bi-ologist ... which means he likes both kinds of ologies equally ... what's an ology?
Anyone else aware E.O, Wilson has two forenames -Michael and Ian makes his initials M.I E.O.W.
Haha! "Sour Krauss"... that's a good one.
Love it. Richard plays his part so well. When two or more intelligent atheists meet and joke about religious BS, I can hardly control my emotion.
Prof. Dawkins is amazing. I am so grateful the he exists in this world. His mind is genius.
I love the banana man reference. Keep it up!!
Long live Richard Dawkins!!!
"Richard Dawkins!"
"Unbelieverable..."
AHAHAHAH I'M DYING
I bought a banana today that didn't fit very well in my hand. Is God dead, or is the store owned by non-Christians?
That was incredible! You've outdone yourself... yet again.
And I love that disclaimer on the dPhone. Excellent!
"my boy can show up on all matter of bread product" LOLOL
This might be my favorite Mr. Deity episode yet! Hilarious! Thank you Brian, and thank you Dr. Dawkins!
I just love Richard Dawkins
"You and that sour Krauss" omfg that was hilarious!
The advertisement for the App deserved to be its own youtube video. I'm saying this as a patreon contributor.
Love you long time! Keep up the great work!
HAHAHA!!!! I love this!! I love Dawkins smirk at the very end of the video. Still a naughty schoolboy at heart. :D I really have to thank you for this video. I've been going through some real stress, and it was nice to have a laugh. Thanks :)
" my boy shows up on all kinds of bread products"
Lost my shit at that one. Bravo!
We just found an agent that's gonna get him on the pita bread!
Shellfish Gene? oyster have one of those, made me cockle, I managed to muscle it out which made me less crabby to people.
Good vid, sorry 4 shit puns = kek
How punderful.
Well done
Oh hell yeah, I absolutely love Richard Dawkins!
Greetings and great wishes for future content from the snowy Finland!
Just as I'm studying the many many redundant sequences of the human genome this pops up! I needed that!
@Taqifsha Nanen Prove there are any fine-tuned constants or put a cork in it dumba***.
@Taqifsha Nanen You can't change something that doesn't exist. Why is this so hard for your religiously constipate brain to comprehend? Oh..... I inadvertently answer my own question....your brain is full of religious sh!#
I've waited so long for this! :-D
That's what she said. You and that sourKrauss.
lol brilliant!
"unbeliever-able" haha
"You and that sour-Krauss" This is spectacular. Wish Richard would've had a bit more time to tune up on his acting, but beyond this it's extraordinary.
Richard's an atrocious actor, but this was great nonetheless, and that ending was fantastic.
ConnorJohn Please understand that Richard had an hour to shoot this. So considering...
misterdeity Fix it in post! There must be something like autotune for acting right? It was still brilliant, though.
misterdeity
Perhaps, but still. He's just not speaking naturally. His live speeches have had more character and feeling in them when saying the exact same things. I don't know why he couldn't act with that same emotion.
I do suppose that if he had more than an hour, he might be able to focus himself into the right mood. But even then, he'd be no Lalla Ward.
Sines314 You also have to understand that he's not an actor, and if you think that acting was "atrocious," you clearly have never seen truly bad acting.
You're quoting me, yet replying to Sines314
this is really good, and the bit at the end about the hymnal is genius.....keep making these for us
Now I've heard the guy who invented the .GIF format pronounce .GIF, and the guy who came up with memes pronounce memes. These are two of the most mispronounced words this decade. Now if someone could caption a GIF of how to pronounce meme, maybe it could go viral!
Zum Zamim That's a funny and brilliant idea!
Wait, what are the other pronunciations for 'meme'?
***** The French are ... when talking about their gran ;)
It was Puccini who gave this name to his Party Girl: "They call me ME ME"
There's a canine .GIF called Jiff. Meme needs a dog called D:Ream
Great touch at the end when Dawkins slips the banana into his hand the way Comfort does in his famous banana talk. =D
It took me second to get the Thor joke, well played.
I needed something to make me smile today. What a great video. Definitely subscribing to this channel.
That Sauerkrautss... LOL!!!!!!!! I'm dying....
One of Mr. D’s best!
And the in-faux-mercial that follows is hysterical… “three devices in one”… right through the rapidpatter disclaimer at the end.

Giraffes originally had a much shorter and more direct recurrent laryngeal nerve, just as one would expect in a perfect design. It was man's fall into sin that caused it to lengthen and wrap around the aorta.
lol, nice trolling
Ir0nF1st924 Sigh. No one's biting today. Poe's law my ass.
Alex Wagner You need to sound much crazier to pass yourself off as a creationist.
Alex Wagner For what it's worth, you almost had me.
misterdeity Haha, suckah!
But seriously, this was the kind of BS excuse I could expect from my creationist former boss whenever I had him backed in a corner. Somehow, the Fall of Man just seemed to explain away all the inconsistencies in the observable world.
"My boy can show up on all manner of bread products"
Brilliant.
IKEA is Swedish, not Belgian. But the deity would know that, wouldn't he?
Mr. Deity turned off his all-knowing powers.
I love this and all of your videos! And Dawkins? What a treat!! Excellent work. Thanks for what you do. Both of you.
Cheers!
Can we have an interview with Christopher Hitchens, please, please.
outofturn Gonna need some powerful necromancy for that one...
We have Mr. Deity's help nothing is impossible. Its call a special effect.
I'm pretty sure he left a horcrux or two somewhere.
@@DollyTheLlama We have that now. It's called AI.
The comedic conversation between you and Richard Dawkins was fantastic AND that hilarious commercial about a direct line to the Deity was also mind blowingly funny. Keep up the great work...I approve.
I almost lost it on the color code line.
Jason Heavensrun Yeah, that was my favorite line too. To hear Richard refer to it as "your color code" absolutely kills me.
Am I missing a reference? What's the joke?
Look for "Atheist's Nightmare" with Ray Comfort.
Jason Heavensrun Oh, I've seen it. I just didn't know that's what it was referencing.
The second the banana was brought up I thought The Amazing Atheist
+Klemen Kekec And I thought of that idiot Ray Comfort. I can't hardly even look at a banana with out thinking of that moron.
archer I think you meant "Ray Cumfart".
Another good video Mr. Deity and Richard Dawkins. Love it.
"He's like the Johnnie Cochran of religion"
Ray Comfort approved this thumbnail.
He's holding a bannana.
Thank you you. It's been a while and I missed this.
This was even better than Jesus Toast!
The very end, where he tests the fit of the banana... LOL!
This was absolutely lovely.
Very good.
Holy shit, you two are an amazing duo! Thank you for making my day 🌞!

Just found the channel.
I’m feeling a binge watch coming on.
Wait, Richard Dawkins is the guy who came up with memes? I didn't know that. Fuck that guy!
LOL.
He did it in 1976, memes where cool back then. But then the 80s happened.
"A mind gene", basically an _idea_ that passes from person to person down the generations. Or cat pictures.
A "meme" is an idea that behaves like a gene - i.e. it spreads to other minds (copies itself), often imperfectly (mutation), and some survive while others don't (natural selection).
Internet "memes" are something different, but they are also memes in the original sense.
How your body develops is determined by genes.
How societies develop is determined by memes.
One ingenious meme was "Believe this or burn in hell." This particular one is dying off because no one can prove their hell.
You knocked it out of the park, Brian!!! Great Job!!!
From one bearded guy to another: this was delightfully blasphemous.
Another bearded guy agrees.
TheUglyGnome Well, I can't grow a beard, so fuck you both!
Superphilipp Would it help if we prayed FSM to give you a noodly beard?
Superphilipp
Or at least a hairy appendage? We're thigh with all of the gods and the power of prayer is awesome!
HOW HAVE I NOT SEEN THESE??? THIS IS AMAZING!!!
the ad with this video was for a spoken bible by an English actor. There is a God!!!!
I was just joking!!!
+Michael Sleight Duh sorry.
Excellent episode. Kudos to you for getting Dawkins on your show and kudos to Dawkins for being on your show. Definately shared this episode :)
Wow! God just appeared to Richard Dawkins in a dream. Is that weird or what? He's lucky he didn't tell him to off his kid or something.
Brilliant! The ad at the end was gold! 😂😂😂
Wait, is this an actual fantasy that atheists have? Or is this satire? I'm confused.
Max Hollenbeck if there is a god, it would be nice to have a conversation with such a god....he has a lot to answer for
But this isn't a conversation with a God, it's an interrogation of fictional character in a dream. If it were an actual conversation with God, I would spend time pleading for him to stop his sadistic games rather than complaining that he didn't make his presence known.
Sean Armstrong "if there is a god, it would be nice to have a conversation with such a god....he has a lot to answer for"
Before I start jumping to conclusions, please enlighten me if you will:
1. Why would god have a conversation with you? Are you his secret informant here on earth and I don't know about it? Are you the most special individual of the human race which has ever existed since the beginning of time and you deserve a special audience with him??? Oh, please... JUST REMEMBER THAT THE ONLY POSSIBLE WAY TO SPEAK WITH GOD (IF HE DOESN'T ENGAGE WITH YOU IN A CONVERSATION) IS THROUGH YOUR ACTIONS! They will be your part of the dialog with him, at least this is what I think.
2. He has to answer for what?? People did horrible things in his name, and maybe they have received their equivalent punishment as a result. What did god do to offend you exactly? The fact that he created the system in which we live, in this manner and not another? Well, if he's the creator, he makes the rules. I agree that the rules are nasty, but if the rules are absolutely perfect, then there won't be a need for evolution, and therefore for the satisfaction that each individual has when he overcomes his more primitive state.
Please, forget a possible conversation with god in your case! Especially if you believe that we appeared randomly like assholes on this perfectly-tuned planet which sustains life and which doesn't seem to weaken at it, even if we tear it apart with our actions...
Max Hollenbeck its both
V Marius
"Why would god have a conversation with you?"
If he's an eternal all powerful benevolent being that exists outside of the physical world and outside of time, he certainly has the capacity, the time and the willingness to talk with every single one of us. He designed a universe that is incredibly imperfect, he let horrible things happen in his name... I think that he at least owe us a few answers.
"JUST REMEMBER THAT THE ONLY POSSIBLE WAY TO SPEAK WITH GOD (IF HE DOESN'T ENGAGE WITH YOU IN A CONVERSATION) IS THROUGH YOUR ACTIONS!"
I find it rather amusing that you say that with such certainty when really it's just a baseless assumption. You assume it works like that not because there is evidence that it works like that, but just because you find it convenient.
"if you believe that we appeared randomly like assholes on this perfectly-tuned planet"
Tornados, volcanos, hurricanes, meteor strikes, earthquakes, droughts, diseases... How is our planet in any way perfectly tuned? It's stable enough to sustain life, but perfectly tuned? Seriously?
Brilliant! And I especially loved loved loved the advertisement!! All your religious friends need this..
Hahahahahah
I loved this! Good job on this brian!
Atheists are all old and white. Also, Dawkins should do a skit with Mitchell and Webb.
Wrong. Go sit your ass down.
RE:Think
Just because you are not a fan of Mitchell and Webb does not mean that Dawkins and they would be unable to do a good sketch. Just look at the thumbs up this sketch is getting.
Corpse Party I think M&W did a sketch were David Mitchell played Dawkins brilliantly, I but I cannot remember if it was the TV or the radio show.
.
Atheists are all old? How can the entire population of Scandinavia and most of northern Europe be old?
I just found misterdiety's you tube channel, I love it. this one made me laugh. what a great idea for a channel.
LOL Mr deity is clearly a closet's gay dude
And...? Does that scare you, Mikey?
misterdeity LOL you accept it !
Mr Deity _does_ seem camply catty in this video. But then...he _does_ live with a ghostly partner and an adopted son. Who thought his mother was a virgin, and hung out with 12 guys. Who were "fishers of men".
+Stefan Travis LOL OTHER MRGAITY'S FANBOY
Isn't "Lucy" his wife?
'Im a biologist.' 'sorry a journalist ?' 'Biologist !' lol
Richard gives glory to unguided matter thinking that it guided itself to significantly sequence every written directive to make every directed working thing. What a lame brain. You make me think that I am smart.
...and don't talk about kin because we are all cousins. Some of us are close cousins a number of ways..
Mr. Dawkins will remember this when he stands before the throne of God and is sentenced to eternal torment. Will he act the same way to God then?
You'll remember as well.
Ben Labelle Threats... They've always worked out so well for your kind.
It's not threat it's fact.
Very clever and very well done! Thanks for sharing!
Dawkins is not a very good actor
That's just what he wants you to believe ;)
I think he plays Richard Dawkins really well though.
MyOnlyFarph
Nope couldn't believe that dawkins was actually Dawkins.
Perhaps, he wasn't the right person for the part?
Not many people are.
This. Is. Awesome!
HA! Sour Krauss!!!
Nice Ray Comfort banana stab at the end!!
Brian keep the awesome goodness flowing!!!
Sorry to hear about how rough this last year has been for you! Keep your chin up buddy!!!
Yes going to donate right away!!
This video was terribly put together (not that my videos are any better in the production quality). However it amazes me how Evolutionists continue to use the same out-of-date arguments over and over again. The claims that the vertebrate eye are poorly designed have been discredited by ophthalmologists.
I am pasting both an article from Creationists (who are also scientists) on this topic, and an article from a very highly respected mainstream journal. (So please, no ignorant comments about the fact that I am citing a Creationist source.)
Honestly, I would really like to see a scientist who specializes in the vertebrate eye who has been keeping up with the research who endorses what Richard Dawkins has to say on this matter, because I keep finding that the Evolutionary propaganda put out by Dawkins, Coyne, and others is simply false.
BTW, I am graduating this semester with my bachelors in Biotechnology and Molecular Bioscience, and I have an entire channel that focuses very much on Creation vs Evolution.

www.pnas.org/content/104/20/8287.full
I feel like I need to point this out:
*Not only is the inverted wiring of our eyes a good design, necessary for proper functioning*
See, this statement makes absolutely no sense, because at no point does this "research paper" come anywhere remotely near addressing _why_ they think that the optical structure most vertibrates have is "necessary for proper functioning". How do you define "necessary"? I mean, all it takes is one look at any other lineage of optical systems in nature to see that's absolutely _not_ the case. Cephalopods have their eyes constructed entirely opposite, with nerve fibers passing _behind_ the retina rather than right through it, leaving no blind spot at all where vertebrates have, and removing the need for the backwards photoreceptors, since they all face forwards.
So either something is completely amiss here, and the Cephalopod lineage is a complete fluke, or this is _exactly what evolutionary theory expects to find_. Vertebrate eyes had a flaw, but it was a flaw that was propagated because there is no mechanism in nature for rebuilding biological systems from scratch. So the result is a flawed system that organisms adapt around. The reason we have a blind spot, backwards photoreceptors, and the nonsensical retina structure, is because that's the set of mutations that arose and propagated. We weren't lucky like squids, where we got the version of the eye that does all the same things with none of the drawbacks.
*I am graduating this semester with my bachelors in Biotechnology and Molecular Bioscience*
I guess they don't require you to actually know anything for a degree these days.
Pointing out that it is in function and operates (depending on species rather well) is not synonymous with "good designed".
Good designed is to have all known visual abilities without even one circuitous route nor a blind spot. So the whole argument is not "well it is actually shit" - it is selected in various forms when you could design it far better and with far less effort or take direct routes like a squid or even better than that.
It is the same creationistic nonsense, like claiming we are living in a wonderful world where we have ebola, pest etc. need to breath and drink and eat (kill other lifeforms) when even a third grade computer game programmer is able to build a world where you don't have to hunt, drink, eat and be revived from your last spot where you died. Why couldn't a god made the world like World of Warcraft when humans can create such worlds in a box all the time? Reason is simple: There is no intelligent behind nature.
1. The production values of the video far exceed those of your imaginary friend.
2. Creationists are NOT Scientists. Even if they think they are.
3. Boasting about your upcoming graduation equates to an argument from authority. assuming the veracity of your word!
4. I reckon bronze-age assertions are much more 'out-of-date' than peer-reviewed and thoroughly scrutinized scientific models in the 21st century.
Liam MacRoibin You can claim all day that there are not scientists who are also Creationists, but you just plain do not know what you are talking about.
Look at Dr. John Sanford, look at Raymond Vahan Damadian, these are two of the greatest scientists in the world.
So the bottom line is you can say all day that there are no scientists who are Creationists, but again, you just plain do not know what you are talking about or you are intentionally lying when you make this claim.
Now you have two options here, you can choose to look up these names that I have given to you, and you can choose to do your homework and research other scientists along these lines, or you can choose to be willfully ignorant on this issue.
GreenSlugg
*Liam MacRoibin You can claim all day that there are not scientists who are also Creationists,*
No one claims there are not scientists who are Creationists. There certainly are a few.
There are, however, no scientists who's focus of study is "creationism", because there's no science there. There is no scientific research or no peer-reviewed papers attempting to bring creationism into actual scrutiny because, you know, there's nothing to study.
*Look at Dr. John Sanford, look at Raymond Vahan Damadian, these are two of the greatest scientists in the world.*
John C. Standord, the plant geneticist? I'm not sure what in this man's resume would qualify him as "greatest scientist in the world", as all records I can find on the man indicate him as an above-average biologist who helped develop some techniques for genetic therapies and processes, and then went on to found some biotech companies in the 90s. The only reason I can see you even mentioning his name is *oh my god he decided he was a creationist in 2000*.
Wow. Way to cherry pick your sources, broskillet.
So I've gotta wonder here, how exactly do you establish who is among the "greatest scientists in the world"? Who ranks the scientists for this list? Is it a subjective thing, like we're just going to accept what _you_ think on the subject? Or is there some independent group out there who just compares all scientists and uses some criteria we have no idea about to tell us who the greatest scientist ever is? And if you're saying they're two of the greatest scientists, does that mean there are other even greater scientists out there? Are any of them non-Creationists, or in your world is believing that the earth is not even as old as the Egyptian civilization somehow a mandatory criteria for someone to have credibility as a scientist? You gotta be more specific here, man.
*So the bottom line is you can say all day that there are no scientists who are Creationists,*
We've been over this.
By definition, any creationist who wants to be a scientists has to compartmentalize, because literally no scientific discovery or study lines up with any creationist dogma.
*Now you have two options here, you can choose to look up these names that I have given to you*
I did that. Sanford founded companies _Sanford Scientific_ and _Biolistics_, and decided he was a creationist in 2000. Damadian is a guy who invented the MRI machine, and happens to be a creationist. However, what you neglect to mention is that _neither of these men had any of their accomplishments influence, or more importantly, made possible by their accepting of creationism_. In fact, religious belief had nothing to do with either of their careers. So I'm not sure what your point is.
You know who else was a creationist? Isaac Newton. You know who's mathematical work is still extremely important, and has absolutely nothing to do with theological beliefs? Isaac Newton. You know who also believed in alchemy and constantly drank mercury because he thought it had healing properties? Isaac Newton.
*and research other scientists along these lines, or you can choose to be willfully ignorant on this issue.*
Do you have any who have ever actually studied and demonstrated the truth or validity of their creationist beliefs? Because I'm positive you don't.
This ROCKED my world!!! Thank you Bri-Bri and Prof. Dawkins!!! I love you BOTH!!!
How could such a great writer make such a terrible actor? XD
Brilliant, as always. Mr. D. is quite charismatic. The fuzz around Dawkins, like around 0:48, kinda makes it seem like this was shot on green-screens in separate locations... but the banana hand off makes it seem like you two are in the same room. Was this an in-person collab?
God never said that this creation was perfect. He said that it was good. Good for the purpose that it serves. Perfect would be an eternal heavenly state. The law of entropy (law of decay) is necessary for this universe to operate in this present state.
God created this world in the temporal state that it resides in, not in some perfect state. And yet we are all here at this present moment in time. Hah, look at that, it all works. And yeah, God creates for his own purposes.
And no, the universe is not only 6000 years old. And no, things didn't only start to decay at the fall of man. That has been read into the Bible by young earth creationist, and isn't true.
God took millions of years to Incorporated plant and animal life back into the earth so we would have all the natural resources we use to fuel and build this modern world. Without them we would still be in caves rubbing sticks together. God works through natural process. We are presently in the seventh day of Gods creation (if you will notice there was no evening and morning for the seventh day. We are presently in the seventh day) the day of God resting from his creative work (and not resting because he was tired ha ha, resting because once he set things in motion there was no need for creative work. Evolution would be part of God setting things in motion) That is why you don't see the miraculous Once God was through with his creative work the miraculous ceased. God will not create again until he creates a new heaven and a new earth. Revelation 21
gibberish
performancepoo Thank you for your wonderful in depth argument against what I posted.
It must have taken you hours to prepare it before finally presenting it here.
god did everything blahblahblah unfounded assertions blahblahblah
***** Congratulations!!! You simply have a secular materialistic/naturalistic world view as your internalized frame of reference. So then why should we listen to someone that is nothing more than animated protoplasm??? You have to borrow from a world view of there being a creator to even have an argument.
In my part of jehovah's favourite planet the appelation 'Bungalo' is a term of ridicule.
It suggests the person is thus described because there's nothing upstairs.
You confirm the use of it.
This was hilarious. Loved it. Especially the dPhone ad at the end. Lmao.
I've come full circle!
A couple of days (less than a week) ago I've come across this video, my first Mr. Deity video, after it showed up in my suggestions because I watched a lot of Richard Dawkins videos. Since then I've binge watched all Mr. Deity videos from the start up to here. I can't believe I only found this series now! Keep it up!
And on I go to the next one...
Brian, in case you see this. I'm sorry I can't donate, although I always watch the BS (as Amy calls them), because I'm a poor student. I don't drink coffee, already collect all my change, don't own a car and don't yet have children I could get rid of. If this show is still around in a few years when I am able to sustain myself financially, I'll make up for it.
Dragon Curve Enthusiast Hahahahaha!!! That's why it's important for those with resources to help. So people like you still have access. Darwin bless them all.
Ha! You really did see it! :-D
Thank you for making these videos! They are hilarious and intelligent, which is a combination I enjoy and appreciate very much!
Greetings from Europe!
HAHAHA, this is one of my favorite episodes! Too great!
i'v been waiting for this one:)
Congratulations to long awaited video with Dawkins, Brian!! Finally out there, I am glad it worked. Hope you are doing well, take care, Ed.
"...and that sour Krauss...." I almost peed my pants! Nice work Brian and Richard and all involved!
Brilliant work and the best begging section yet!
Great video! Just made my day.Thanks
OMG lol this is my new favourite video!!!! Hahaha i love Richard!!
This was wonderful all the way around. Richard Dawkins appeared to have a blast!
This was funny and informative as hell. Love the puns, 😂. I'm enjoying your videos immensely Mr.Deity
The Best ... Glad your back ...
Absolutely brilliant. I love it. I thought it was cleverly dubbed for the first few seconds or so, and then realised it was all live action. Not having seen this channel before, I had a sneaking suspicion it was going to turn out to be a mashup parody. I'm going to run off and watch some of the other videos on this channel now, and may well subscribe.
Keira Churchill You're my new best friend.
I thought near the same thing from viewing the thumbnail. "Oh, someone photoshopped a banana into Dawkins' hand." XD
***** Ooh, the irony is just dripping off that comment. :)
Was giddy and smiling all the time this played. Thank God for Mr Deity and Richard Dawkins.
Mr. Dawkins and Mr. Deity, double for your troubles 👏
Harping on Dawkins for his acting?! I thought it was perfect for a biologist. Glad you are back and keep up the good work.
