1. Palin's Church May Have Shaped Controversial Worldview

Holy fucking Tooth Fairy, I cannot comprehend how people like this and in the audience can be so warped in their sense of reality. They look like normal human beings too!

If that happened in most European countries they'd be mentally diagnosable and would no longer be in the running.

How do people become so collectively brainwashed? So many want the end times too, this pisses me off.

2. Losing Sight of Progress

Sorry Christopher, I beat you too it!
I was watching the very same program and also had similar thoughts, and had that eureka moment too! What excellent and compelling evidence, right in front of your eyes!

3. Hints of 'time before Big Bang'

I don't have a problem with the idea of a vast "sea" of universes popping in and out of existence or indeed daughter universes from something larger.

The "something larger" would be also part of something larger still perhaps.

As a lay person I see scale of things from the Quark to the Universe. We keep expanding our knowledge at both ends of the scale. Now I'm asking what are Quarks made of and so on.

4. Richard Dawkins and Bill Maher

These are the shows Richard needs to be on. Light hearted conversations, grabbing the wider public's attention, giving them new ideas and raising their consciousnesses bit by bit.

Sadly, there's never enough fossils for the creationists.

6. Sam Harris debate with Rabbi David Wolpe

Comment #108534 by mAtheist on January 7, 2008 at 6:36 am

Sam I think is the bridge we are looking for between the religious and non-religious. I like his approach. His ability to feel and speak about "sprituality" without the metaphysical claims. This gets the fringes interested and want to listen to him while he raises their conciousnesses in many ways.

He is incredibly intelligent, balanced and calm. Does he ever get flustered?

The rabbi struggles to make eye contact with him, he knows sam is a very able person indeed.

7. Sir David Attenborough on God

Comment #88254 by mAtheist on November 15, 2007 at 3:35 pm

I also remember David Attenborough a few years ago talking about why he didn't believe in a god because why would a it create a parasite worm that "drills" into the temple of a young person and makes them permanently blind. It's rational people like this guy that has me in true awe and helped me on the way to critical thinking. I always loved his shows even when I was a kid in the 80's.
