Lucky. You deserve it though, I wouldn't even know what they're talking about! At least I can watch your channel and benefit from such interactions that way.
Hey Kolin. Thanks man. I had your questions, but unfortunately they left almost no time to ask them. So I couldn't. But thanks for your ideas. And thanks for your comment.
Michio is awesome. I bought one of his books on Mtheory at the conference (I forget the title).., its next on my list. You should check out Ze Frank. The guy is brilliant. He does some interesting stuff. He's a programmer, and he made some awesome like 8 bit video games, on of which was called ATHEIST. And it was just a little man on a platform, ....you move him off the platform, he falls off, and it says: Game over, no more tries. That's the whole game.
@djosephallen I'm going to watch the debate 1st, I'm 15 minutes into it and took a break to let it buffer because it's pausing. :-(
My Spanish is rusty but I understand most of the introduction. I don't think most Americans will appreciate the boxing ring as much as they do in Mexico. (Boxeo y Lucha libre) I was almost expecting to see Julio Cesar Chavez or Blue Demon make an appearance. :-)
That was a great debate. I thought WLC was a prick trying to change the debate into an argument about atheists need to prove that God doesn't exist.
The best point I took away from it. In a created universe evidence would be top down, but in our universe we see the opposite, bottom up, life started out simple and evolved and became more complex.
Honestly, the thing is, they devoted very little time to actually let the debate topic fully develop, therefore I think every speaker just went for what they perceived to be their strongest points. And of course, when one has the words "purpose" and "universe" in the title, its pretty naive to think that its not going to quickly turn into a God vs No God discussion.
Wow. Thanks for sharing. It would absolutely be my biggest dream to meet these scientists.

Cmon, dont underestimate yourself. The conference had many topics, and aside from some complicated topics on physics, it was all pretty basic.
Anyways, thanks for commenting.

Is it OK if I'm jealous? Of the bunch, I think my favorite is Michio Kaku.

But I agree, your summation is spot on.

Know what you mean about almost crying when a mind you admire compliments your understanding. Golden, unforgettable moments.

Indeed, Phil.....I knew you guys on YT would appreciate my perspective.
Thanks!
BTW...your video on the (supposed) Iron Miracle in the Koran was ridiculously outstanding.

Oh yea, you got your money's worth. To be fair, maybe Wolpe was offended you didn't pronounce the "ee" on his name. ;)

Fortunately, I only paid half price for the tickets! So I guess I got doubled my moneys worth.
And I think you might be on to something with the Wolpe thing....:)
