lol, so you run on ignorance? are you a prius?
Obviously Mr. or Mrs. or Ms. Paranoidilution will keep pointing out his anthropological expertise and authoritatively dismiss any dissenting, or questioning voices for the rest of this thread.
I have only one question to pose for a further argument.
How the hell did the topic get so astray, as to go into 'racial' differences, as opposed to the original query of what is the origin of the so called genetic evil?
BTW, I'm yanking chains here, if anyone missed the point.
The original intent of this discussion, I think is too hairy for the typical atheist cause it then begins to demand how there is a consciousness behind creation.
My personal favorite part of that video, is [51:14] to [54:22] Well said and presented. That Trey Smith guy captivates me.
Why does the so called creation require consciousness?
Even better yet, why is the cosmogenic process even deemed creation?
When two branes/dimensional membranes collide, releasing energy in the form of the aptly named 'big bang', how is it different from the process of virtual particles appearing and disappearing in the vacuum, except the scale?
Do people require a creator, because they simply do not wish to divorce themselves from the notion of being special due to their self involved, emotional state of being?
by Venator of VerumWhy does the so called creation require consciousness?
Someone once said. "Inanimate objects are worthless without someone to animate them." Why believe we ourselves have yet to outdo nothing, which has no consciousness ? Today's latest and greatest technology can't even touch a fruit fly.
Even better yet, why is the cosmogenic process even deemed creation?
Because it has an end, and a beginning. Even in the big bang theory, they do not know what caused the spark, especially when it's believed there to be absolutely nothing.

The particle has space to appear and move in and around. The vacuum also has space to be as it is.

Of course not. It was required for us to be created period.
Whatever particle science cannot identify, they call matter. And matter is a series of mathematical probabilities that are indeed where they need to be, throughout the universe. Not just the Earth, and all it's life would have to be an accident.
Is there junk code in the DNA ? None. What we don't use eventually surfaces in another generation. Which is great.
We're too sophisticated to be shaken in a bucket then brought forth into reality. Our code, like every plant, animal, insect and other organic matter is not something an unconscious force would manifest and put in 1 place. Mind you The various creatures here are unknown. Meanwhile the rest of the universe, as we learned, has structure. Amazingly the visible universe looks like brain cells. How fitting.
Seeing everything in anything lately?
Pursuing a fractal explanation to your existential quagmires?
Asserting a deeper meaning to what otherwise might seem superficially obvious?
Perhaps enlightenment doesn't stem from perceiving what might be there, but from constructing what can be there.
