great video and watch, that movie made me feel good.
That was fun.
Not as mind blowing as he presents it, though. The kind of mindgasms you had when you were a kid. But enjoyable nonetheless.
He has gaps in his logic, or leaps actually, that are not founded in anything but his prejudice though. He also sounds awfully spiritual for someone claiming pure atheism. His whole staring at the majesty of the infinite universe and saying dude I am you is actually the foundation of all mysticism.
Seems like he has a beef with organized religion. (which any sane person should have as well) But science is not a savior. It has given us its own share of horrors. WMD's and Josepf Mengele anyone?

Hyperspace Fool: I was thinking the same thing, that he sounded specifically resentful of organized religion. And, I don't know, he mentioned mosques along with churches; my impression of Islam is that on the whole it hasn't been as repressive of science as historically the Christian church has. The Arabs invented the zero, and a lot of science got started in the Middle East quite a long time ago.
BUT what I did like is the part where he talked about not bowing down before God. (in an implied groveling sense.) I think there's an important distinction between humility, which is absolutely essential, and humiliation; i.e., thinking of yourself as a "worthless sinner."
I hope I haven't offended anyone by saying this; if so, my apologies.
