  • My comment got erased?  ... Awesome.

  • Must have been a glitch, I've never once deleted a comment.

  • "I don't think based on purely mechanical principles we would arrive at life or conscious life"

    Argument from incredulity?

  • I think there are more reasonable cosmologies than the materialistic that better account for our existence. The emergence of life and intelligence in an entirely mechanical universe isn't incredible, it's absurd.

  • There is no conflict between science and religion.

    The conflict is Science/Religion with Spirituality.

    When you are coming from the point of

    " I am right and you are wrong" you are no longer spiritual.

    You cannot explain our little picture properly (Darwin/Creationism) without understanding the bigger picture reality which we (our universe) are only a tiny subset of the whole

    It is the same simple analogy of the Fish not knowing he is in water trying to explain the Ocean to his friend

  • Would you also agree that Hitchens is more of a "style over substance" kind of guy? I felt reading his work that that he was more concerned with making a witty quip than a sound argument. I like Dawkins alright, but I think Sam Harris is the only one of the 4 Horsemen I'd really identify with.

  • What a bright, attractive, intelligent young man. :D

  • hey Matthew you are so f... ing HOT!!! ....xD

  • Oh my, that was a good laugh. This is the funniest Youtube comment ever. I'm glad someone holds encompassing knowledge.

  • Thats alright man, passed me by anyhow...

  • Unscientific speculation, intuition, imagination, etc... are critical components of any world view that hopes to progress. These are the engines of new premises with which science can then work. But make no mistake, the "real" work is done in the minds if those who can operate outside the confines of accepted knowledge. When thinkers like Myers and Dennett talk about religion they often sound as ill read and unscientific as the creationists they criticize.

  • You are just flat out wrong. Your feeling of absurdity is perhaps a byproduct at you failing to accept the universe as it is.

  • agree! keep up the good work
