Advocatus Atheist

I don’t know, but it seems to me that Krauss offered a lot of good solid information. Meanwhile, WLC just stuck to his guns and did what he always does, spout off orthodox Evangelical conviction with that ever annoying constant appeal to authority. I mean, I already know what Christians think. I was one for three decades. Move it along. At the end of the day, however, I feel I learned more from Krauss than Craig. It seems to me most WLC fans are just taking the devotional tract and agreeing whole heartedly with Craig because he is simply reaffirming what they already purport to believe. Besides this, I think much of what Krauss was saying may have gone over many audience member's heads. For example, Krauss' comment that infinity adds up to a finite number seems to have been lost on most people.

How did the Universe come to be? Theists posit that God must have been the initial cause of the origin of the Universe, however, modern physics and cosmology suggest that the Universe came from nothing and is self sustaining. Eminent physicist and cosmologist Lawrence Krauss gives quite an entertaining, yet highly informative, talk at AAI 2009 which addresses this exact issue and expounds more fully. For those concerned with what the real science shows and how we get something from nothing, along with an insightful lecture on the modern picture of cosmology and how it has changed our views, or if you just love cosmology like I do, please watch this educational lecture by Krauss at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ImvlS8PLIo *** On a side note, some popular physics titles I highly recommend are: Endless Universe: Beyond the Big Bang -- Rewriting Cosmic History by Paul J. Steinhardt and Neil Turok. The Cosmic Landscape: String Theory and the Illusion of Intelligent Design...
