As an agnostic scientist I find sal's statement completely secular, innocent, well said, fair, and frankly I would've worded it the same way myself, given that I believe, as an agnostic, that the notion that some non-agnostics label "god" may indeed be best expressed as physical laws and the simplest possible explanatory formulae of our universe, and so I identify with sals comments here, which regard the perspectives of others in an observatory context; they do not represent any claim to the e

@nigtasticbasedgod902 The Universe is proof of the 'hidden' order of the Universe. It's explicitly an ordered thing, no matter the angle you observe from. Hence man's existence, and hence the watchmaker argument

order = proof of greater order

Seriously Sal....

Thank you Khan, you actually helped me with my java homework where I had to use loops and logic to calculate e^n up to the factorial of 100.

@fuckooo Fair enough. Nice to hear your opinion on it, and nice that you can construct comments more helpful than "get over it". I spend a lot of time (mainly on YouTube) hearing about the evils of religion so I'm a bit tetchy about it :)

@LAnonHubbard Sal merely pointed out that Euler's formula has been used to 'prove' the existence of God. I think the part at the end where he talks about some 'hidden order' that we can call 'god' is not something to get upset over, it sounded like 'Spinoza's God' if anything.
Personally I found it an interesting little 'tid-bit', it's not as though Sal himself was trying prove the existence of God, or trying to preach religion to us.

@fuckooo Keeping god in the religious/philosophy lessons and out of the science and maths lessons is vital, so I feel the need to point this out.
Right, but he also committed as much time to Alchemy. By your logic, therefore, we should abandon chemistry and attempt turning lead into gold. Newton was brilliant, but he was still a human. There is no need to idolize everything that came out of his mouth. Use your brain to separate what is of value and what is not.

Thanks for the very good work! Keep going on with this! I want to know much more about Math now and I want to learn it this way. With you. You`re great!
