  • Ironically both Craig and Wolpert are simultaneously correct:

    The cosmic quantum computer:

    1.) The wave-function of the universe is self-collapsing. (true by definition)

    2.) Self-collapsing wave-functions are minds. (The Penrose-Hameroff quantum mind model, Orch-OR)

    Conclusion, the wave-function of the universe is a mind: watch?v=Kj8UdHuP5l8

    And if you don't believe it, google Paola Zizzi and "The Big Wow."

  • Humphry's may be the worst moderator I've seen recently.

    Thank you! He is terrible. He was clearly biased toward the atheist side, and kept helping Wolpert clarify his points, while giving Craig no such help (granted, Craig needed no help).

  • So Craig is not interested in the truth..

  • @johnmarkg Not a moderate is he? Craig destroyed Wolpert, but Humphry sees it the other way around!

  • @Metal1998 He proved God... were you listening?

  • 8:56 he disproved God.. the debate is over

  • I think Craig uses his argument to prove the existence of THE CONCEPT OF GOD rather than God him[it?]self; indeed, the concept of God (and of anything else) is outside time and space, it is eternal and needs not a creator.

  • Wolpert is brilliant and hilarious here!

  • Since Craig is fond of quoting Martin Rees,

    "Cosmologists sometimes claim that the universe can arise "from nothing". But they should watch their language, especially when addressing philosophers. We've realised ever since Einstein that empty space can have a structure such that it can be warped and distorted. Even if shrunk down to a "point", it is latent with particles and forces — still a far richer construct than the philosopher's 'Nothing'."
