Michio Kaku quoted out of context

[JPararajasingham]

@PartyAllSeason "Michio Kaku quoted out of context"

The quote is from the video "Time - BBC - 2: Lifetime 4/6" and begins 2 minutes in. I invite anyone to have a look themselves at the context, because it does not affect the meaning of what he says in the slightest. Kaku does not hold a belief in a religious afterlife, or a personal god.

Your misleading comment just makes you look a bit foolish.

It seemed to me that the poster of this video does not have any thoughts of their own.

[JPararajasingham]

@aurelius903 "It seemed to me that the poster of this video does not have any thoughts of their own."

Coming from a person that has posted, or rather spammed, multiple comments which are the same regurgitated and failed theistic arguments heard time and again. On the other hand you can find many "thoughts of my own" on my website.

[aurelius903]

"It seemed to me that you do not have any thoughts of your own. So I did a little research and have indeed found that you are simply copying and pasting other people's words "

And what do you imagine this video is? Your words????? Your not thinking for yourself by posting this propaganda video. Hypocrite!

[JPararajasingham]

@aurelius903 "And what do you imagine this video is? Your words????? Your not thinking for yourself by posting this propaganda video."

This whole point of this video is to quote the religious views of elite academics. The person who was posting other people's opinions was doing so as if they were his own thoughts. This is the difference between quoting and plaigiarising. It's really not difficult to understand, just try a bit harder.

@rkcraigslist51907 Hitchens is on his "XX Renowned Writers Speaking About God" video.

[XxFATfishxX]

@FutebolFanatico001 thanks (:

[FutebolFanatico001]

@XxFATfishxX could not have said it better myself.

[rkcraigslist51907]

Great video!! But seriously?? No Christopher Hitchens!?! Fucking blasphamy!!!

[mleonsmith]

i love shelly kagan and recommend his classes in the "YALECOURSES" channel. He has a class on death and dying. its awesome

[BER2ERKER]

@PartyAllSeason Wrong, he sides with Einstein; I see you don't understand what that means. He likes the idea of physics being "god", he is not a deist.

[andygray]

Great series of interviews, thank you for putting this together.

[odiabola]

11 dislikes? How? Why? *sigh*

[humptydance1]

The sheer breadth of wisdom and intelligence shown by those in these clips is surely enough to make a believer realise his foolishness.
