    When I first found the site T.D.F.
    Top Do entary Films

    It was exciting to find a place dedicated to Do entary films.
    But it didn't take long to discover there seem to be a pattern,theme,or an agenda feel to the place.

    Well it didn't take long to discover that was true. I noticed when I would comment on any Do entary not having to do with Life,Science ,or Evolution things went smooth. Yes I had heated discussions but the moderators didn't get involved.

    Not the case with the topics of Evolution. For some reason the site guards the comment sections like a mother bear with her newborn cubs.
    I really had no ides the two posters that were going at me were Moderators after all who really looks at the screen name that close.

    But in a way I'm ok with that I didn't break any rules but I did point out that TDF Top Do entary Films always seems to have a Do entary about origins of man, How we got here, The way man came a bout, Evolution of man, The ape and us, and so on.... on the front page.

    I found that to be odd what are the chances that there is always a Do entary promoting Evolution on the main page.

    Well needless to say I was banned and never given a reason why. But I still go there and I still share the Docs on my Face Book.

    That brings me to the reason I made this topic. Today as I was looking at some Do entaries I saw one called
    Programming of Life I was amazed all the Docs about Life are located in the Science,Biology, or nature categories, this one was stashed in the

    "Conspiracy forum" and I was blown away by the description of the film. Usually the description is just that what the film is about you rarely see a personal opinion. Well not this time. It was like they allowed a Moderator or someone like Bill Maher in charge of the video description.

    As I entered the comment section I could see the Mods hard at work defending Evolution. And I was inspired by one of the visitors to the site to call them out It reminded me of days when I was able to practice my free speech.

    Here is the link and the description of the film. And you don't have to support Intelligent design or Evolution to admit there is a bias double standard being practiced at TDF a site that at first seemed to be about Do entaries but now has been exposed for its hypocrisy and for having an agenda.

    Programming of Life
    2011 Home » Conspiracy 951 Comments

    Programming of LifeIt is a good deceiving religion do entary film that avoids to mention religion, god, bible, etc. The authors e up the video with science talk in order to attack evolution. They did this by not letting the public know their true intention.

    Since at this moment science does not have all the answers to DNA, they insinuate that evolution is wrong and the answer should be some place else. They explain their science from their point of view and do not share the arguments for evolution.

    They explain how perfect and wonderful life is and that it could not come by chance. They forgot to explain the imperfections and/or limitations of nature (cancer, shortcomings of the body, etc).

    In short, this is a do entary film that promotes ID (Intelligent Design). I think it is good to see their reasoning wrapped up in a slick propaganda video.

    From the authors: Programming of Life is a do entary created to engage our scientific community in order to encourage forward thinking.

    It looks into scientific theories "scientifically". It examines the heavy weight theory of origins, the chemical and biological theory of evolution, and asks the extremely difficult questions in order to reveal undirected natural process for what it is – a hindrance to true science.

    Information is an essential part of our lives. The code that's in every cell, every piece of DNA and all living things. Even though we've made many breakthrough discoveries in science there's still so much more to be discovered.

    Watch the full do entary now

    you have made some significant claims. can you back them up with actual demonstrable evidence? i will list the claims so far to remind you.

    - " I believe the biblical account of creation because its the only one
    that fits what we see in the Geological and Biological evidences."

    -"there are no examples of "evolving", only speciation, which is contradictory to evolution."

    -"speciation supports only Creation"

    can you back these claims up?

    As far as geological evidences- I refer you to the work of Steven A. Austin - see "Catastrophic Plate Tectonics"

    Maybe you should have a look at punctuated equilibruim, Niles Eldredge and Stephen Jay.

    As for geological evidence, look at any recent textbook.

    Wonders of the human body.... hmmm, I wonder if you ever have felt the pain of a sore back because of a bad design if you'd still call it a 'wonderful design'. Great design, BS it's that great. There are many flaws in our design. For seconds if the back isn't enough, look at our appendix. If that doesn't do it for you, have a look at a pic of 'Brad Pitt' and then a mirror and compare what you see and what you'll find others say about that comparison

    This is a good do entary. It shows how much more we need to/can advance in the process of answering the question: How we came about? Then we'll probably have to answer the 'why' and so on. The quest for knowledge is never ending!! I might one day reach the conclusion that there is a Creator but that will be a conclusion at the end of the search not the beginning! The trouble with most of the people is that they want to give up on the search and agree to the fact that there is a third en y behind creation and that it's omnipotent and the only way you can reach/communicate with that en y is by abandoning all knowledge and going dumb!! And if you are a 'good' person you'll get the best of the lot!!
    I don't really mind religions, they are just a rule book with one master to serve and please or face the wrath of. The trouble is that these servants want to increase their forces!!! I'm not one to join the rank and file!! Never was never will be! The maximum threat to that is that I'll not gain the knowledge I seek and end up searching. Fine by me!

    I love how this video is filed under Conspiracy.
    The summary is full of "they insinuate that evolution is wrong" (actually, they don't, you're the ones that say that),
    and "It is a good deceiving religion do entary" (what exactly in the video did you find "deceiving"?)
    also "They explain their science from their point of view" ("their" science ?... silly me, i tought science is neutral... this must be "religious" science then)
    or "a slick propaganda video".
    "The authors e up the video with science talk in order to attack evolution. They did this by not letting the public know their true intention."
    I guess this was no longer "science", merely "science talk" because, well, you're nothing but biased s with no critical thinking skills.
    "Attack evolution" ? Not really, it doesn't argue *against* evolution. "Attacks my own belief system" is what it should've said.
    "not letting the public know their true intention" ??? Would the scientific reality of this video be less valid based on their "true intention" ?

    And you have the nerve to call theists ignorant/arrogant ! Pah !

    What you believe is only garbage. It's what you can prove--and for your information, ALL forms of life are transitional. In addition to over the edge's recommendation, I suggest you read the wikipedia articles on tiktaalik, anchiornis, troodonts and dromaeosaurids. You clearly don't know what you're talking about and probably never will, as you are no more than an ignorant religee.

    1) No Initial Concentration Of Daughter Element
    2) Decay Rates Are ALWAYS Constant
    3) Decay Has Taken Place In A Closed System - No Contamination

    What other planets does E-coli exist on? What other planets has life spontaneously erupted out of molecules? Where else in our solar system (i'll narrow it down for you) has INFORMATION come out of randomness? The problem is sir, that YOU have no EVIDENCE. For your THEORIES to hold water they must then be duplicated or repeated. Life has not 'happened' anywhere else... or has it? Answer wisely lest we truly see who's wearing the tin-foil hat.

    -"What other planets does E-coli exist on" i do not know and any answer to that question does nothing yo challenge evolution.

    - " What other planets has life spontaneously erupted out of molecules" i do not know and where does the theory of evolution claim that (hint it doesn't)

    -" has INFORMATION come out of randomness" where does evolution claim that. that is nonsense

    -"YOU have no EVIDENCE. For your THEORIES" i provided evidence but you have yet to address it

    -" to hold water they must then be duplicated or repeated." the example i gave you has been repeated

    -"Life has not 'happened' anywhere else... or has it?" i do not know and that has nothing to do with the theory of evolution

    Sometimes authority is given, and sometimes authority is earned. There is a huge difference between faith and scientific rigor, however many do not distinguish between the faith driven arguments and the rationale driven arguments. Scientific rigor implies an anti dogmatic approach and requires criticism for acceptance of a theory, while faith requires the assumption of particular truths regardless of whether those truths are compatible with the natural world. It is very disheartening however, that even if science is fundamentally not religion, many treat it as such, and blindly give over authority where authority should essentially be earned.

    A note to the religious posters here, there and every where. Most people like myself who don't believe in god are happy to discuss and debate the beginnings of life with any body with a reasonable sounding argument. ID is fine, but it drags along religion, ID by itself is quite defensible taken in the right context. However once brought into the context of the bible it becomes ridiculous. Once you accept logical arguments into your beliefs you are going to have to accept that Jesus was not born from a virgin, he was not the son of god any more than any one else is and he definitely didn't come back from the dead.

    Religious people are scary. • 2 years ago

    I am quite afraid of those truly religious, because in order for someone to believe in any one religion, something clearly has to be amiss in their brain. This was my view as a child, and it remains my view today.
    There is no point in arguing with (most) religious people, as they simply cannot follow logic, due to some faulty mechanism in their brain.
    No matter what evidence and logic you may bring to the table, it is of no importance, simply due to the fact that these two aspects of life is of no interest to them. I am of the belief that (most) religious people are mentally ill, and thus they do scare me. Just like someone with severe schizophrenia does.

    How religious people dare demand respect for showing a remarkable lack of logic and critical thinking is beyond me. God is equal to Santa and the Easter Bunny. Get over it as a child or be ridiculed. Or do you believe in them, as well? Considering one can't prove they do not exist? Dragons, witches, wizards, magic, tooth fairy, boogeyman?
    If you do not believe in all of the above mentioned, and much more, and you are religious, you're nothing but a hypocrite. A stupid one, at that.

    Why do people hate God so much? Einstein believed in god. Nikola Tesla believed in God. It is not against God to understand science and live a life of knowledge. Many scientific discoveries have been made by Christians. Stop attacking valid scientific questions and theories just because it happens to fall within the creationist realm. There are NO FACTS about the origin of life. As soon as there is hard evidence, then we can throw the invalid theories out the window. But at this point, evolution and the big bang are just as much a theory as anything else.

    I think that the only conspiracy here is the implication in the description that the evolution theory is the truth and must not be questioned..
    "it's not up to us to just prove a given theory, it's up to the theory to prove itself against the laws of science. "
    so true! As science evolves, more and more evidence is coming up which does not fit with the Darwinian evolution theory. These facts should not be ignored so that the theory fits, the theory should be changed so that it fits with the facts!
    Why are people so desperately holding on to the evolution theory as the only explanation to origins of life? I'ts just a theory, and not a very likely theory either.
    Unless we know something for sure, we should be free to speculate about it. And the truth is that no one really knows the origins of life, therefore all theories should be equally accepted. Not labeled as "conspiracy" because it doesn't fit with the mainstream theory...

    Antony Flew, “Letter from Antony Flew on Darwinism and Theology,”

    Stuart Wavell and Will Iredale, “Sorry, says atheist-in-chief, I do believe in God after all,”
    A code system is always the result of a mental process… It should be emphasized that matter as such is unable to generate any code. All experiences indicate that a thinking being voluntarily exercising his own free will, cognition, and creativity, is required… There is no known natural law through which matter can give rise to information, neither is any physical process or material phenomenon known that can do this.

    You can't expect a supporter of Darwin to care about mistreatment of a non supporter of Evolution.

    Sorry to be the one to have tell Moe Larry and Curly ^ above how the www works..

    But the topic was not targeted for the sophisticated great deep thinkers of the Club
    this forum was just a way to hot link the topic to be read on Facebook or private messaged to a member at TDF
    It just needs to show up on Google.

    So the well educated ones like ohmwrecker and Blake should keep that in mind when they think only ST is witnessing thier lack of maturity and knowledge online.
