At last, Dawkins is for once allowed to sit down during an interview.

Steven Weinberg reminds me of General Hammond from Stargate SG-1

Very stimulating. Thank you. Refreshing to listen to a respectful, adult debate on these subjects.

Weinberg is crazy smart. Just blown away at that man's wisdom. If you have not read any of his books, please do your brain a favor and hit up your local library soon.

this conversation is interesting . i cant wait to watch the next part

[ArcadianGenesis]

I love that opening because it's also the way I think of science: Physics is the most fundamental of all sciences, but biology is the most complex (or emergent) of all sciences. I would add that cognitive science shares that title with biology as well.

orgiastic navel gazing

Let's see, they scientifically demonstrated...nothing.

Heat CANNOT occur from cold...Heat CANNOT be eternal

THAT'S called the LAWS!! of Thermodynamics. No universe can be either spontaneous OR eternal. Arguing other is like someone who's cheated you giving myriad/multitudinous explanations..ALL to escape the TRUTH. They have NOTHING to confute the TRUTH: all our empiricism allows ONLY a universe neither ex nihilo OR eternal. THAT mind-fucker they can't accept/refute

I hear the thunder, I hope he's (God's) not getting annoyed, Genius
