13. Stuart Kauffman - Beyond Belief 2007

This is from the Beyond Belief 2007 Conference, "Enlightenment 2.0." It is an excellent source of views on secularism, atheism, religion, and science. The lecturers are world renowned and their lectures here are incredible - how they manage to squeeze so much information into such concise presentations is incredible.

This video (along with all the others) is intended for educational purposes and has only been released here on YouTube so that it might reach a broad audience ever hungry for knowledge.

However, that being the case, a lot of people worked very hard to make these presentations possible. I am, of course, referring to the members of The Science Network who deserve full credit for this. If you enjoy these presentations, consider purchasing them on DVD (http://www.beyondbeliefdvd.com/servlet/StoreFront) or simply donating to this wonderful institution (http://thesciencenetwork.org/membership).

The Science Network (to my knowledge) owns the copyright to this material and should they ask me to remove it, I will.

That a disappointment. Half a hour of arguments and then two "results" that require leaps of magnitude on par with of those things that he discussed. In the end it's the good old "you can't explain everything, therefore Jahweh is real" after an affine transformation. Predicting the future is irrelevant, being prepared for it is what matters, and he yet has to demonstrate how reviving some abandoned practices will ease our adaptation to changes or better yet help us control them.
