» My “conversion” to atheism

Monday, December 22nd, 2008

Over the past year or so I have received numerous requests from people asking how I created the above video.  It seems a very people like the simplicity of the presentation.  This was deliberate as I wanted people to concentrate on the message, not on the fancy graphics or visual effects.

I created the presentation using Keynote from Apple (yeah - on a Mac).  From there is was a simple matter of exporting it to a quicktime movie and adding an audio track.  I was lucky enough for the track I had in mind to fall onto the presentation nicely.  A few minor tweaks here and there and I found it fit very nicely indeed.

When I uploaded it to Youtube I did not expect much.  It was my first ever video and my hopes were not high.  The first few days saw a few visits, the it suddenly hit 1,000, then the next day it shot to 10,000 views.  I remember thinking “that can’t be right”, but there it was.  Then the discussions started and the views kept climbing.  Now it sit just above 100,000 views, which is not bad.

I promised myself I would revisit the video and the arguments brought up in the discussions if it ever reached 100,000 view - so expect a new video addressing where we have gone in the past year in the next few weeks.

For those wishing to use the style to create their own videos, here is a Powerpoint export of the original (I will upload the Keynote version shortly).  I have no idea how well Powerpoint interprets the animation instructs from Keynote, so use at your own risk.

Have a great holiday (for those who follow such customs).

“But on a serious note, science is just human knowledge of the world, plain and simple.

We lose knowledge, what’s left of our humanity? What diseases can we conquer? How can we make life better? What obstacles can we overcome? The problem with religion is that it makes ignorance (a.k.a. blind faith) a virtue.

Why spread ignorance when you can understand the universe and understand life?”
