There is some interesting stuff there, in those youtubes. Mainly, he is preaching to the choir, though.
He claims that science is a continuation of the gnostic idea of direct knowledge instead of faith. Could be. Knowledge is better than faith, anyway, don't you think?
He decries science in it's work of removing the need for faith by demanding or giving proof. He decries the entry of science into govt and society in general, assuming, i guess that religion should be guiding govt and society, instead. Dark ages mentality. We know the tons of benefits that science has wrought in fighting disease, for instance, as well technology. Stonecutters, you should dump your computer and the internet, for they are products of science, not religion. Electricity, too.
He claims that the british royal society took a position of control of knowledge at the time. Again, that seems like a good idea, given the superstitions and false science that were rife at the time.
People who have studied evolution know what he claims about its origins. However, not until charles darwin was scientific evidence presented. Not that science matters to you, apparently.
Basically, i agree w some of what the guy decries. We (me and the guy) agree on some facts, except that i'm for it and he's against it. Guess satan really has me, eh? Guess, he has the scientists, the computer companies, doctors, etc etc, too. Those youtubes have bit of a schizophrenic twist to them, like science is the new boogeyman out to enslave the masses. A-holes often get into positions of power, whether political, scientific, economic or religious. Religion is not imune to corruption. Science however, still has some systems that generally succeed in putting knowledge before personality. Religion is very week in controling corruption, because of it's very nature : FAITH. Faith opens and keeps open the door for corruption.
