Richard Dawkins and Lawrence Krauss sat down for a public discussion at Stanford University on Sunday, March 9th 2008. The focus was on Science education, but the discussion also covered religion, physics, evolution and more. This video will be released on DVD soon at RichardDawkins.net , along with other unmoderated discussions with Richard Dawkins.

@thechessstick "Evolutionists/atheists know that their belief is bankrupt and devoid of reason and evidence. This is why they will not debate"

Another person who likes to make assertions about something of which they clearly have little to no understanding.

Dawkins HAS debated the very top creationists in the past, and won... did that make a difference? Did you change your mind? No, that's because debates tdo not descern truth.

@1tabligh The big bang didn't create itself, it was quantum fluctuations from dark matter that created the big bang. And yet again you say non-existing, when I blatantly told you there is no such thing as nothing and there is evidence for that. I'm done arguing with children.

@lordcodicus I just want to get this "nothing" talk out of the air. You can't get something from "nothing" and it's more than obvious. Common sense really. That's why people are still so clung to the idea of "god" because they can't get the speculation of "nothing" out their heads. No such thing as "nothing".

@xBlackEditionx

No... all of matter was created after the big bang.... dark matter is just matter that doesn't interact electromagnetically with normal matter, if it does indeed exist after all. Perhaps you were thinking of dark energy, which is even more of a mystery. Still, all of this is speculation, physicists have no solid idea of what was going on at that point, during Planck Time, and they probably wont understand it until they unify the four fundamental forces.

@xBlackEditionx Some people try to propagate this *fantasy* in the garb of science and to present their choice as having been dictated by scientific thought. In the final analysis, however, the denial involved in such an assertion is unworthy of science and philosophy, and even *contradicts* empirical logic.

Poor fella!

So much science for this stupid brainless pseudo-Scientific Demagogue!

[1tabligh]

@xBlackEditionx Even if the followers of a religious school of thought had no proofs for their claim, to conclude firmly and forcibly that non- being reigns beyond the sensory realm would be a non-scientific choice, based on imagination and speculation.

[xBlackEditionx]

@1tabligh Yet again your stealing other peoples comments. Your an uneducated muslim that has no hope of truly understanding the universe for what is is.

[1tabligh]

@xBlackEditionx Views such as these derive directly from a system of thought centered on materialism; within it, everything is defined and delimited with reference to materialism.

To interpret materialism in such a sense is in the final analysis strictly meaningless; it would be a superstitious notion involving the perversion of truth, and to regard it as scientific would, in fact, be *treason* to science.

[xBlackEditionx]

@1tabligh Yes I recommend you get an education. Your mad because you don't know what else to say.

[1tabligh]

@xBlackEditionx The atheist Delusion!

Your delusion that science has put out the notion of God is purely *rhetorical* and has nothing to do with logical method, because even thousands of scientific experiments could not possibly suffice to demonstrate that no non-material being or factor exists.

Your delusion is nothing more than a *fanatical* illusion based on unproven theories.

[1tabligh]

@xBlackEditionx So much science for this uncivilized stupid brainless pseudo-Scientific Demagogue!

How is that for YOUR "Now go get an education" and answer the question instead?!
