I just found this video. I have known Dr. Collins as thru U of Michigan's Med Sch for many yrs. as a former pediatric nurse , I have admired him for many yrs since the mid 1990s He was the one who has allowed us to change the way we attempt to cure many deadly childhood illnesses. Yes, he is a strong Christian and does fly home to Ann Arbor to sing in his church and some people may take issue with that, but how can people take issue with the dedication .
Although its importance pales in comparison to the many achievements of Dr. Collins, his speech, and particularly this little song that he performed, were simply amazing. I don't think anyone there for the ceremony left unimpressed! Thank you for this upload!
i agree. im a guitarist/bassist and had a bit of vocal experience and i was surprised at how comfortable he was and how he played and sang so effortlessly.
I'm a guitar teacher, and Dr. Collins can definitely operate a guitar. His voice leadings and technique are pretty much professional level. I also teach on songwriting, ad Dr. Collins has crafted a "My Way" rewrite that beats some of the material I've heard on Dr. Demento. I just hope he doesn't set the human genome to music!
He's actually not bad! Love that high note on the "their" in the middle. Don't be so hard on Richard Dawkins. Him and Ken Ham could do an amazing duet! And then, we could follow it up with Christopher Hitchens serenading Kent Hovind! Maybe not. I'll stick with Collins hahaha.
I wish we had someone cool like him to speak at commencement. Our's was a black lawyer who went on a tirade about affirmative action. Commencement speeches are just to be about student accomplishments and their bright futures.
Super smart guy, entertaining speech, great song...but he played it 6 years earlier at my graduation from the University of Virginia. New material needed! What, is he too busy sequencing the human genome or something? He must get his inspiration from A-T-C-G repetition all day long.
What is the relevance of this to Richard Dawkins? Are people so desperate to locate objections to Richard that after watching such a video which has no relevance to Dawkins they are compelled to exclaim "Oh look, Richard isn't doing THIS!"
Seems like a nice, talented guy - until you remember the sheer disaster he oversaw during the pandemic, (we all were there, remember) he did get one thing right with his tune… “he did it his way”! Liability exempt vaccines, myocarditis for young men, “batches” of vaccines of questionable purity and efficacy, and the public trust lost in the CDC and I just gotta wonder who booked his “act!” 😢
inane? look for inane in a dictionary.the word you are looking for is coherent., o, but wait, if my spelling and grammar are distracting, and you don't understand me fully.. then how can you criticize what i just wrote? never mind. if you like i can express what i just write on Portuguese, Spanish(my official language) or Arabic. think, then write. and im not attacking you.saludos.
Maybe if Collins had gone into folk guitar singing instead of medicine he wouldn’t have lied about the origin of Covid and outlaw known treatments apart from jabs.
not at all. you cant compare dawkins to Collins. dawkins is not a scientist. he has done nothing for science.and that's the truth. he is not a scientist more than i am . if by telling the truth i´m immature, well,so i am. by the way. if you are defending him, you cant possibly know what immature means. and again, im not attacking you, im writing in a friendly way.
one thing is to have a phd , and other is to be scientist. order to be a scientist, you need to investigate, seek , discover, formulate, look at the problem and try to bring up a paradigm witch actually can get us closer to the understanding of it. dawkins has done nothing for science. read his books and you will see. his job was (he is currently not working at any university) to promove science . a real scientist is ken miller.
listen , if you are an atheist, please, get better examples of one . read bertrand russell, froyd for example. they writtings on the issue are poor (, witch shows the level of understanding they had on the issue), but far more accuarate than dawkins`s. lets say dawkins spends checks with his mouth that his brain and his scientific- theologic knowledge cant cash. if you are intelligent and a litle bit obejtive you will thank me later.
Dear Dr. Fracis...
you are such adorable and
a great person...
i admiring you so much..
you are amazing....👍👍😊😊

I fell in love with this man! awesome!
Thank you for putting a smile on peoples face.
That took guys & he nailed it. Bravo!
This is pure Gold.
Dawkins hasn't the passion to accomplish something as amazing as this.
i agree. im a guitarist/bassist and had a bit of vocal experience and i was surprised at how comfortable he was and how he played and sang so effortlessly.
Good lyrics.
Love it! Bless you, brother!
Bravo!!!
Superb! Love it!
He shouldn't quit his day job, but it's great to see anyone having fun.
Great
why i don't have professors like him at my university?
Someone who combines science and Faith and sings awesome songs? Everybody should have a professor like him.
this man is much more civilized than the intellectual bully, a.k.a Richard Dawkins.
We need both
rock on collins!
pure class

I might be wrong, but it sounds like "to the Victor's Hail". This seems a reference to Michigan state's motto "Hail to the Victor's".
Francis Collins is so badass!
He's actually not bad! Love that high note on the "their" in the middle.
Don't be so hard on Richard Dawkins. Him and Ken Ham could do an amazing duet! And then, we could follow it up with Christopher Hitchens serenading Kent Hovind!
Maybe not. I'll stick with Collins hahaha.
Next Collins and Dawkins should do a dance off. XD

to the Victor's Hail. That's Michigan's fight song "Hail to the Victors"
I never knew Dr. Fauci's boss was so talented.
@pnutbutrncrackers
um, sorry . . . make that "took guts".
Better than Justin Bieber.
Dawkins has the personality for different things. That's the point of personality.
EU QUERO FALAR

I guess they mention Dawkins here for the same reason Dawkin's mentions God at all.
Hahaha

well, let the educated minds feel the way they want about it.
@thekidde63 Why is belief in God 'delusional'? You could be less of a stereotypical RUclips-Atheist.

Yo what the hell, he spoke at VCU's 2009 graduation and did the same song. He could have at least come up with something new!!!!!

dawkins has done nothing for science. read his books and you will see.
his job was (he is currently not working at any university) to promove science . a real scientist is ken miller.
Oh snap that’s stupid
you are wrong. dawkins is not even close to be a scientist.
Can we put Collins and Fauci in a cell toghether when they go to prison and make them listen to "Somewhere Past the Pandemic" 24/7
1 Dislike = Richard Dawkins.
As bad at singing as he is at playing the guitar
What does any of this have to do with the delusional belief in a supernatural being? Liked the song and effort though.
listen , if you are an atheist, please, get better examples of one . read bertrand russell, froyd for example. they writtings on the issue are poor (, witch shows the level of understanding they had on the issue), but far more accuarate than dawkins`s. lets say dawkins spends checks with his mouth that his brain and his scientific- theologic knowledge cant cash. if you are intelligent and a litle bit obejtive you will thank me later.
interesting presentation !
