I'm entirely with Professor Krause. Once we define life correctly, we'll find that biology is the ultimate evolution of chemistry, what we think of as consciousness is the ultimate evolution of biology, science is the ultimate evolution of superstition and we'll redefine God as a set of 20+ constants from which, the quantum particles were permitted to practice the Google plex number of combination on the medium of space time for lack of a better understandable or definable concept, to leave behind the most universe at the lowest energy cost of matter. Everything else, is us giving meaning to a meaningless purpose in search of a compass that only points to where we individually wanted it to point to, with our philosophies need to find order, for it all to have happened. Take a few steps back to the larger picture and you'll find this mindless but inevitable order without a need for a mythological God in a Quantum roam that only plays the numbers game.

As an agnostic neuroscientist I just absolutely can not believe how horribly this was conducted. The moderator was unbearable and just generally ridiculous, interjecting with absurd remarks constantly. And I came hoping to find inspiration in religion and faith and dear God I hope this panel ran out of funding after getting the atheists, because holy shit the lack of actual logical reasoning on the side of the theists was so infuriating. How difficult is it for theists to realize that scientists don't actually fully believe in their theories? Do you think anybody would lead a crusade and kill people in the name of String Theory? We all know our models are wrong, but they're just right enough to be useful - that's what we care about. We aren't looking for some divine truth, because there is not a falsifiable hypothesis that could be really be tested to answer that question. We're trying to explain the world to the best of our abilities, not to pray to the almighty general theory of relativity. And do you really think internal experiences are proof of God? Ever heard of the placebo? The brain is a lot more complex than you can understand. If you think experiencing pleasure or other "unexplainable" sensations are somehow disconnected from willfully committing the ignorance of divine subscription to one faith, and the subsequent willfully ignorant comfort of KNOWING that your God is on your side, KNOWING that everything will be okay, and KNOWING that you will live forever, then you're very, very wrong, coming from a researcher in neuroscience. The ONLY logical point made by the theists was that it is irrational to be atheist because then you have to deny all Gods, including ones you do not know about or understand. Other than that and the great arguments and thoughtfulness from the atheists, I was very disappointed with nearly every aspect of this conversation, and it really saddens me that this was the really best the World Science Fair could manage.

A pleasure to listen to Lawrence Krauss being the voice of reason and killing it yet again.

[Three things that you have to understand to be free from the endless doubts] 1) the physical world that we feel as the five senses is finite, incomplete, always changing, temporarily existing, very passive and relative. 2) There certainly is a world of intangible reasons (eg. mathematics world) that transcends these temporary physical worlds, whose properties are diametrically opposed to them and are always right. 3) Life is an intermediate being between these two worlds, whose body interacts with the physical world and spirit interacts with the reason world, while the spirit leads the body, and thus the greater the spirit, the more active and the larger (more spacious and longer) lived. So you need to fully understand the worlds of material, life and reason/truth. not comprehending the following things: what are the properties of material or matter? How are the laws of physics and universal constants determined, and what are the difference from the truth? Why do the changing laws of physics contain unchanging reasons? How is different between fact, realization and reason/truth? What is life different from substance? In detail, how is thought possible in life? what is consciousness and intelligence? what is spirit, soul and mind, and how are they different? what are desire, will and activeness, how do they occur, and how do they work? what is virtue/goodness, beauty and truth, and what is their relationship to each other? why does truth never change, and why does it appear anywhere anytime in the physical world? why do people say that the world of truth is the world of God, that God appears everywhere alive without death, and that life is large and widely alive if it knows a lot of truth? what are the basic attributes and the ultimate state of ethics and morality, and why the life need them? and what are sin and responsibility in willing life?

Diverse (cultural) perspectives help scientific creativity and intuition. The initial conditions of a coming scientist career aren't mainly set by theories, instruments and formulas. But curiosity, imagination, questions, stories, admiration, metaphysics, humour, mystery, beauty, will, purpose, feelings, dialogue, perception of self and life, ambitions, beliefs & doubts, intuitions... The scientific method took shape in the renaissance with the rediscovery of ancient knowledge, neglegting rediscovering (often forbidden) ancient beliefs. A long (and still persisting) confrontation between the power of reason and the power of the clergy began. Antagonizing 'to believe' and 'to know' in a quasi-religious way. This confrontational heritage and mindset is limiting the degrees of creative freedom of modern scientific culture. Beliefs always played a crucial role for the direction science takes. Many discoveries are grounded in beliefs, pre-dispositions and intuitions dating back as far as 5'000'000 years or more, while others are born in questioning them - like the 'concept of time'. Few things determine a scientist's biography as strongly, as the 'axioms' for life and for work they adopted, found, claim, celebrate or want to adhere to. Kurt Gödel for example devoted a large part of his life to a proof of God or the Divine. In modern societies the danger of falling back into obscurantism is largely under control, so science communication can afford to speak more openly about "the behind the scenes", about the non-provable: ancient and tribal culture, metaphysics, Gods, mythology, philosophical considerations and intuitions. Always in respect for different beliefs and opinions, of course. The worlds of 'to know' and 'to believe' - somehow meet as one in a human being, yet they are so different. The first has expanded into a gigantic world of knowledge and accelerates its expansion, while the second often prefers to remain private, is much more static and strongly dominated by tradition. Making those two different worlds communicate can benefit both greatly.

Most science do not requires creativity. Kant do not consider Newton a genius because everything he did could be taught and he is logically right about that. The idea of Gravity came from Harley that HIRED Newton do wrote the formula because he was good in math. Harley was a bigger genius than Newton because the CONCEPT came from THAT BRAIN, not Newton. The formula e=MC2 is not from Einstein. There's nothing genius about the formula, its just math. What is genius about Einstein is The Big Picture he saw, the Space/time itself and the fact he was the fist to understand what the math was showing. So its what to imagine with math that makes you go beyond and NOT the math itself. Is Hubble a genius for doing a measurement? who got the idea of that telescope in the first place? I do know it was not Hubble...

The only constant in the universe is change. Everytime I think I've nailed it, new information comes along that modifies, adjusts, flips, or obliterates it. The majority of what I think and believe comes from what other people think and believe. Almost everything I know comes from other. I have to trust that or not trust that. Trusting in that info is having faith in something I have not directly experienced. There are some things I have experienced that most people have not experienced. How do I explain those experiences to myself? All I have to draw upon is what I know from the experience of others. I think the final most honest answer to all questions has to be... I don't know the answer. Based on that, it's important for me to keep an open mind to everything I encounter. People get stuck in their ego. I am right and if you don't agree with me you are wrong. It's possible we are both right but unaware of the aspect that makes that so. That unawareness is ignorance. I am ignorant. Every single human alive is ignorant. The most intelligent human is ignorant. It's impossible to know everything. Keep an open mind. Almost anything is possible. Even when it's highly unlikely.

I have learned in my life that: I should not argue with the fools. Let them live happily within their frivolous world. and not have discussion with crude, they have nothing to loose but can spoil my soul. I better keep distance from jealous folk, they would keep hating me even if I could give them the whole world. I have learned to prefer being alone rather than sharing time with those I do not belong to And I always keep in mind three facts: 1-I cannot help everybody. 2-I cannot change every things. 3-I cannot be loved by all. And If you choose to judge me and judge my life First wear my shoes and pass the roads that I have gone through. Weep same as I have wept. Go through the roads that I have traversed. Live in those years same as I did Fall again and again on the rocks that I fell Then stand up and keep walking through all those hard years again. If you do so then you may deserve to judge about me and my life and not be silly. در زندگی یاد گرفتم:

The innermost ring -- theology -- collapses all others (with "philosophy" being the penultimate ring). It is written, "...I thank Thee, Father...because You hid these truths from the educated and intelligent, and revealed them to babes...". Science is imperative only for those who are decieved by modernity. Presuppositions -- by definition-- skip past your foundational, worldview.

There is, therefore, no way the two can possibly conflict except through a misunderstanding of their roles. It is a monumental tragedy for religion, and the very religious impulse itself, that religious "mythology" ("truths", stories, legends) which clearly resonate with deep processes in the human mind (brain), and are fundamentally poetic in nature, should be misconstrued as operating on the same mundane prose plane as science. Religion is robbed of its mystery, magic, and power - of its very intended function (transcendence) - in this way.

As (almost) everyone knows, religion, especially organized religion, does not equate to spirituality, and vice versa. It’s not always clear which of the two is being discussed here, with the risk of creating confusion in some minds. Also, before we even have a theory of quantum gravity or some equivalent of it, current “quantum cosmology” is suggesting that the very terms, the very concepts in which we are asking our questions and thinking of them might be far too simplistic. Reality, which Einstein once referred to as an onion with an infinite number of layers towards an infinitely deep core, seems to cut through all our concepts. An example is wave vs. particle (it’s both at the same time), where each and every electron e.g. can correctly be understood as being spread out across the whole Universe - some have even worded this as the single electron Universe. Quantum entanglement hs cut through the here vs. there assumption, showing that “locality” (here vs. there) is in fact just an illusion. Just as the idea of “now” is an illusion, except for what happens in our mind - and even that, neuroscientists have now realized is wrong, as we become conscious of our own decisions ‘some time after’ our brain has already made them without us being aware of it. Just like ever seeing the sun only as it was 8 minutes ago or that old friend of yours across the street as he or she was a fraction of a second ago, but never exactly “now”. It seems that all our concepts, the mental tools with which we think and reason about the world, are gross simplifications that help us survive in our biological surroundings but were not evolved to help us “see” reality, whatever it is. That’s why we need sophisticated instruments and mathematics to help us peer deeper into things than either our senses or our biological brain can ever manage. But then, how come we feel that urge to go beyond what helps us thrive and survive in our wild jungle of an earth (because of humans…)

Religion and Science don't have to battle with each other. If you're having trouble, I might suggest reading Dan Brown's book series. Phenomenal author. As a Catholic, I will say this: Both religion and science have been very important to me. Science has ended plagues, saved lives, and it has made our lives all the better. It has explained to us why and how things happen in our surroundings. Yet, humans cannot live fulfilled lives by science alone. Religion is there to remind you of your morals. Religion tells you that things like murder, rape, violence, theft, etc. are wrong. When there is religion alone in the world, we will all die due to lack of knowledge and education. Science alone and we will all die due to lack of morality. Mind you, Atheists are fine to me. You don't necessarily have to worship some God to know that you shall not kill, you shall not steal, you shall not commit adultery, and so on. We shall respect each others' beliefs and be civil. Just because you're a believer doesn't mean you have to disregard scientific facts and critical thinking.

Stalin was evil but he did not want to kill himself or blow the whole Earth but if you beleive your God will give you virgins in the afterlife if you do that then you will do it. and you cannot persuade this person to cancel his plans because of the nature of religion.

I think religion is all human creation. As Descartes stated, “I think, therefor I am.” We, human beings, are capable of two kinds of reasonings: Deductive and inductive. Science is all about deductive reasoning. Over centuries, we have accumulated huge amounts of knowledge, but the more we know, the more we need to know. Then inductive reasoning comes into play - people start to have imaginations about the things we are unable to explain. This is how religion is created. As we are free beings, different groups tend to have different religions. But all religions serve the same fundamental human need - the desire to understand, along with the ideas of good, virtue, meaning of life, etc. compared to bad, evil, sins, etc. Human beings, through biological evolution over millions of years, are able to have these two distinctive ways of reasoning, this is how we define who we are. Put this in the cosmic context, human beings are creation of the Earth, most likely by chance, just like a small particle jumping around in a quantum universe or multiverse, with different dimensions.

Also - the guy on the our left reminds me of me - just before I became an agnostic (and later an atheist). Interprets the Bible as a series of metaphors and clings to his belief only due to the historicity of a character named Jesus. He simultaneously recognizes the lack of evidence yet holds a fallacious standard as his reason to continue believing. It's extremely likely that a person named Jesus existed - but that's not a reason to believe that he was the son of God.

No fact in history is more proven than the life and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Modern observable scientific facts prove that the world is around 6,000 years old and that the global flood of Noah's day formed the geological features of the earth.ii Professors have spent billions of dollars trying to find a scientific reason to believe that everything created itself but every attempt has proven the story of 'evolution' to be utter nonsense.

In the history, there have been a lot of proclaimed believer philosophers, artists and scientists to cite some : Rene Descartes, Isaac Newton, Emmanuel Kant, Albert Einstein and even Charles Darwin... An important remark on evolution : Chromosomes do not evolve but the associated genes do...

without DEFINITIONS and or specific examples there is a great deal of room for misunderstanding between arguments.

We lifes are not predestined by "big bang". We lifes are agents that determine the undetermined sequentially.

Quantum physics is coherent entanglement until measurement decohere.

Faith is the opposite of evidence, is the license religious people give themselves to keep believing when reasons fail, it is making a virtue out of not thinking. The entire point of faith, is that it does not depend on rational justification, while the rest of us are expected to defend our prejudices. It is an attitude or feeling whereby someone attributes a higher degree of probability to the evidence than what the evidence calls for. It is possible to have a spiritual connection to the universe without any of the many, many gods. I apologise if any of this comes across as harsh or disrespectful, it is absolutely not my intention to upset anybody. Sending peace and love, regardless of anybody's religion or beliefs.

Oh yeah and who created you and who created the earth?

Some things to point out: - I would argue that there are small percentage of scientists who are also religious. In the real representation I guess there would be 3.5 atheist scientists and 0.5 religious scientists on the panel. - panelists clearly have a different perceptions of what religion means to them. They should first discuss what they think it is. - The problem of discussing religion is that it is so vague, loosely defined, abstract, individualised, humanised and there are so many (with conflicting ideas). It deals with stories and anecdotes. It is more of a social construct than a description of reality science is trying to unravel. - I am wondering what kind of associations one would find if we would plot intelligence and religious beliefs of people. - I think most atheists were believers at some point in their life (e.g. in childhood) but the desire for knowledge, logic and critical thinking overcame this innate human tendency. Because explaining things takes a lot of cognitive effort, we like to stop at some point and take the easy explanation to quickly get to the dose of gratification it provides.

Instead of arguing if one is an atheist or not, I am surprised why these wise men doesn't look at facts. How many times did you win 5 lotteries in a row. Not once.
