Evolution Education: Nurturing Skeptical Young Minds with Bertha Vazquez
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 сен 2024
- Bertha Vazquez is a former school teacher, the director of education at the Center For Inquiry and the director of TIES (Teacher Institute for Evolutionary Science). A long time ally in nurturing reason and critical thinking among children, she is passionate about training teachers across America in teaching evolution and science in ways that work. I was delighted to learn about her work in awakening a spirit of curiosity and inquiry in young students, and how TIES programs like Generation Skeptics and Save Science are changing the nature of school education and scientific learning.
Thanks to Anthony Trecek-King for generously providing all of the footage, setting up the cameras and microphones.

Such critical & commendable work! Teaching children how to think like a real scientist, & how to think critically are essential for society. Thank you Prof. Dawkins & Bertha Vasquez.
No hes not he is essentially grooming children with his lies
Due to recent advancements in many fields of science and painstaking research over many years it can now be said with a high degree of certainty that evolution is truly The Failed Hypothesis
Sir Richard Dawkins played a significant role in addressing my life's moral dilemma. I Wish him happiest life ahead❤
What was your moral dilemma how to hate God as much as possible
@@RichardDawkinsIsaNonce may your God bless you dear 💕
@@RichardDawkinsIsaNonce Why are you so triggered man.
Astonishing that critical and rational thinking needs defending in this day of age.
I want you to always keep guiding us like this. I am a big fan of Prof. Dawkins.❤ LOVE FROM India Sir. Huge respect for You😍

Dawkins sits mute/deaf/moronic as actual accomplished biologists, Nobel laureates Hartwell & Altman
and Craig Venter ALL say "it is impossible that humans will EVER know life's origin". BUT THAT'S his
entire raison d'etre; responding to life's origin. Other than that "open Kimono" he has NO contribution
whatsoever. It's certainly not his first page of chapter 4 of The God Delusion where he disputes physicist/atheist
Fred Hoyle's; "life beginning naturally on earth is as likely as a hurricane assembling a fully functioning Boeing 747
going through a junkyard". Dawkins "corrects" Hoyle by enlightening him regarding the miracle of natural selection .
It wouldn't seem possible someone could be so ignorant, unless you had followed Dawkins' hucksterism. The
2nd Law of Thermodynamics NEVER/EVER/EVER allows junkyards to "numerous, successive, slight modification"
(DARWIN'S definition of natural selection)
Same bro
Thank you for continuing giving me the language to talk about evolution, which I have been scared to talk with my religious family.
Now I know what to say, and how to react to likely opposition.
My fav: Evolution is a fact, like the Earth orbits the Sun is a fact. : We use the word theory differently in science than everyday speech.
*For **_any_** rational, critical thinking, scientifically literate individual, listening to this discussion between Mrs. Vasquez and Prof. Dawkins, is nothing but literally a mental breath of crisp, fresh air! . . .*
The problem is there is just simply no evidence for evolution
Breath of fresh air😂 its just his usual pompous smug anti God propaganda
@@RichardDawkinsIsaNonce I was waiting for the first show of the Dunning Kruger effect, and here you are!
🤣👍
@@RichardDawkinsIsaNonce
Have you read any books on the subject or visited a natural history museum?
@@iainrae6159 yes
Let's not forget that Evolution can be taught in History classes as well as Science classes. My 1st grader and I have been reading a Smithonian History book that starts off with hominin evoution millions of years ago. He's absolutely fascinated by it. Let's get History and Social Studies teachers on line with Evolution too.
17:29 -of course March 26th must be National Science Appreciation Day !
It’s Richard Dawkin’s Birthday 🎂
What other day would we choose ?
Not a coincidence ? Why of all the great scientists who’ve changed our lives for the better, why choose the one whose birthday coincides with our professor ?
March 26th also happens to be the birthday of Leonard Nimoy (Dr Spock, science officer on the starship Enterprise).
Wow! I live in Miami-Dade!
Science 10/10 + 10k schoolarship.
This was way too short and very superficial without any real debate; a disappointing chat if I'm honest.
Dawkins face in thumbnail looks utterly void of love. It sends a powerful message to me of the pitfalls of overly concrete/materialistic rational thinking and cynicism. There are also pitfalls to many types of religious thinking of course, such as any aspect that focus on persecution or hate towards others etc. But those concepts that exalt love and hope, a fervent goodwill towards all souls and life / fellow children of a loving Father / God, as axiomatic principles to reality, is an overwhelmingly beautiful worldview that i believe is far superior to any type of propositional standpoint ive ever heard Dawkins put forth. Makes me feel sad wondering what type of meaning he truly derives from devoting his life to the subject matter he does.
Boi you are so smart for deducing someone's life from their thumbnail picture 😂
Ever seen the video of Dawkins playing the clarinet with Dan Barker? HAHAHAHA
you cannot deduce someone's life from a picture, he is very nice in the video
A picture is worth a thousand words. And obviously I'm not drawing that conclusion from the thumbnail alone. I've watched tens of hours of his interviews and debates and have always wondered the same thing. He always engages in these shallow debates with this often angry and condescending air about him, rooted in his concrete interpretation. Satisfied with his gotcha moments of setting up a religious person and them failing to provide some type of physical evidence, instead of caring to have a respectful and engaging discussion. I've always gotten the sense from him that he operates solely from the level of the intellect, void of love and care for anything metaphysical. Thus, why majority of his thumbnails perfectly capture that essence.
seeing loveless-ness in the face of Dawkins is the kind of claim to a moral injury, that God would see to be good. God has done enough damage to society, someone has to clean up the mess and it's always science.
Richard's getting old... its so sad.
The upside is he will soon meet his maker and he will cower in fear when he is judged
@@RichardDawkinsIsaNonceYou are disgusting. Why would you want to wish death upon someone?
@@RichardDawkinsIsaNonceGenshin Impact player detected. League of Legends solos no cap
@@RichardDawkinsIsaNonceI thought there’s is no prove you were a creationist, what’s the deal with this comment?
@@koalaplays8855 Well well look who it is. I thought you had learned your lesson and given up though it looks like i will have to school you again. In what way does me saying someone will meet their maker make me a creationist? I really think you need to look up the definition of the word seeing as you use it so often.
When are you going to retire ?
Leave religions alone singing :
GOD save the King !
sounds more like persuading young minds than nurturing them.
Persuading them of the scientific truth
Persuading them to actually listen to objective reality, not fairy tales, yes.
He is grooming young minds with his perverted views
Grooming young minds more like
@@RichardDawkinsIsaNonce I seriously wonder what's up with the fact that you've elected to *NOT* use your real name, huh? . . .
I was so happy to actually hear Bertha, the leader of TIES. I have been a fan of TIES even though I am not a school teacher. The reason I am such a big fan of ties is because of an incident that happened with my children in a public high school. My children came home from school telling me that their science teacher was telling the class that evolution is wrong and would have been impossible. Of course I complained about it to the school. It is so nice to see a whole organization dedicated to teaching evolution in the public schools, thank you.
It is hard to believe living in the UK, that you need these workshops. Even back in the 1970s when I went to senior school, we were taught evolution and understood how it worked.
the american school system is an utter joke imo.
Because in the USA, religion pervades everything. It's like an insidious cancer. Dogmatic puritanism is still rampant in the US, it never really died out.
The problem is there is just simply no evidence for evolution
@@RichardDawkinsIsaNonce That statement means you're either ignorant or in denial. There's no other option. Evolution is one of the most grounded theories in science. Judging from your username, it looks like you're either a troll or just stupid.
Due to recent advancements in many fields of science and painstaking research over many years it can now be said with a high degree of certainty that evolution is truly The Failed Hypothesis
Excellent initiative, Looks like good work by some good people.
Around a thousand years ago Imam Muhammad Al Ghazali told story of a man walking in the jungle. A roaring lion ran towards him and the man ran as fast as he could to escape from it. He noticed a well in front of him and he jumped inside hoping to escape from the lion. As he was falling inside the well, he grabbed onto the rope and saved himself. The man was so relieved but when he looked down he saw a big snake at the bottom of the well. It had its jaws wide open ready to swallow him up. The man then looked up and saw two mice nibbling at the rope. A black mouse and a white were both chewing into the rope. The scary lion was still prowling outside the well. The man's heart was pounding as he wondered how he could escape from this. Then he noticed a honeycomb in front of him which had delicious honey dripping from it. He stuck his finger into the honey and put it inside his mouth. It was delicious and for a moment he forgot about the lion, the snake and the two mice chewing at the rope. Imam Ghazali explained that the lion is like the angel of death which is always looming above us. The snake was like his grave which all humans will face. The black mouse and white mouse were like the day and night which are always nibbling at our life (the rope). The honey was like this dunya (this temporal world) which with its momentary sweetness makes us forget the death and the eternal life.....

It's sad to see that our hero Richard Dawkins is getting older 😢
She is excellent
I always loved science since my youngest years but I owe it to Richard Dawkins for leading me out of the dark of religion into the light of truth.
Richard Dawkins is a modern hero, however, Bertha Vasquez is the most palatable version of scientific fact. Absolutely no ego, patient, no intolerance, able to talk on a level.
She will be so much more palatable than any of the modern atheists (even though that word is no longer in fashion).
The well spoken upper class English voice, even if it’s correct in the message, isn’t necessarily persuasive in tone.
She will move the scientific viewpoint forward more than Hawkins, Dennett, Harris and Hitchens combined.
Don't waste your time Dawkins the king of terrors is comin get right with God while you still can
What games, specifically, are used to teach evolution?
13:00 Very strong points! I wish everyone appreciate the times we live in.
An abandoned village will do. Temperate grassland
I wanted to ask Richard how many millions of years, does he think, before a chimpanzee can play a violin?
You could ask one yourself, as your cognitive level is on par with chimps.
Dawkins seeems to be more of a radical Darwinist than a good, old fashioned atheist. Atheism can accept different opinions on life and how we got here, Dawkins cannot.
It is a shame you don't know what atheism is.
I am from India And I am a Hindu Brahmin but after reading the god dillusion Now I became an atheist. Thanks Richard sir.
You need a real encounter with Jesus Christ through the power of the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking in tongues find a Pentecostal Bible believing church turn away from your unbelief now Jesus Christ still heals the sick and raises the dead today just ask Jesus to fill you with the sweet Holy Ghost and you will feel the power of the Holy Ghost throughout your body and your lips will begin to quiver and you will speak in tongues hallelujah thank you Jesus for heaven's sweet Holy Ghost Jesus is the only way to go to heaven
I wish many more teachers take this woman's example.
I hope prof Dawkins come again to Miami someday soon.
Amazing how we can always be skeptical of God's existence, but we cant be skeptical that my grandfather was a fish 185 million generations ago, like Richard says.
@@ContemplativeThinker Can you tell me the strawman, its literally exactly what he said, there is a video on youtube of how he explains your grandfather 185 million generations ago was literally a fish. So whats the strawman? Maybe you are skeptical of that too, I guess.
@@gsp3428 how is is proven fact that my grandfather was a fish 185 million generations ago?
@@crashoppe I would love to know how its a proven fact, how can you prove that to me. Thats one of the most absurdly dumb things I have heard from an atheist. You can only infer it based on fossils you believe are related, you cant prove it. Come on atheists, youre not this dumb.
@@gsp3428to the human mind, it may seem counterintuitive that fish could eventually evolve into humans, but this takes such a huge amount of time and so many generations and so many gradual changes. There’s a good reason that evolution is accepted as fact by the vast, vast majority of biologists - it’s because a tremendous amount of self-consistent evidence points to it, present in the geological record, fossil record, slight anatomical changes from one organism to another indicating gradual genetic mutation and adaptation to their environment… evolution from fish to human may seem counterintuitive, but that doesn’t make it incorrect. Lots of things are very counterintuitive, including Quantum Physics, which is the best and most accurate model for how the Universe works that we currently have.
Be sceptical of everything for which there is no evidence and this includes all metaphysical claims of the God variety
One day you might start teachin the trurh the whole universe eas made through Jesus Christ and for Jesus Christ nothing in creation was made without him.
Dawkins why are you still to scared to debate William Lane Craig on the existence of God, yes you will lose but at least lose with some dignity
No point in debating that question.
Faith is belief without evidence and you cannot disprove whether Gods, fairies, and unicorns exist.
He's said repeatedly that he has no interest in structured debates, anymore, especially on evolution (because there's nothing to debate, evolution is demonstrably proven fact, creationism is nonsense). Unstructured conversations are much more meaningful and lead to a lot more understanding on both parties and the listeners.
@@chocopuddingcup83
Totally agree with you, well said.
@@chocopuddingcup83 strawman argument as William Lane Craig is not a creationist he believes in evolution, funny how hes happy to have hour long conversations with the likes of creationist wendy wright but not WLC cause he knows whether formal debate or just discussion he will get pushback on his views which he can't take
@@iainrae6159 How original saying discussing arguments on whether the universe shows signs of an intelligent creator behind it is the same as fairies and unicorns 🙄
