I’m a Muslim turned atheist. Both my sons are adults now who don’t believe in religion because it wasn’t imposed on them. I still have moments where I think I have taken something from them but then I realise I gave something greater to them

Both are enlightening?! Both are dumbasses. Krauss, "The universe is huge and old and rare things happen all the time, including life." Just past 18:00 here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bXrQp5-JbbV_f9E That's not based on science but only Krauss farting that out of his dumb ass. kzbin.info/www/bejne/sIaafaqtYth1hsk kzbin.info/www/bejne/qGXWgWR7Zq-Xlbs kzbin.info/www/bejne/j57NnaWta6yggbc kzbin.info/www/bejne/gmGQmZqJn9Oio6M kzbin.info/www/bejne/a3K7nKWZZ7SGqZY Life takes information to proceed on. But to atheists/agnostics, chaos through time gave us information. Although it's even hard to write such a ridiculous statement, they believe it. All one can do is laugh at such stupidity. kzbin.info/www/bejne/l3KQd5akgdh5Z8k kzbin.info/www/bejne/bZScgZSQr9ike8k creation.com/laws-of-information-1 creation.com/laws-of-information-2 To this dumbass, it's ok to say that space, matter, time, and the laws of physics, ALL being there ALREADY with NO explanation of how, is OK to call "nothing". There, by that alone, Krauss excused himself of all of that. You simply come up with a childish snot-nosed brat excuse to call it "nothing". But it gets worse, space, matter, time, and the laws of physics, called nothing, created more space, matter, and time. The laws of physics were broken to create more space, matter, and time. Keep in mind (for those that have a working mind), that this "nothing" was eternal, and just by chance about 13 billion years ago according to Krauss, then did its magic. The 1st and 2nd laws of thermodynamics were asleep then. *Krauss' attempt to dispell the need of God, just confirms the need.* "A vacuum, to us, is a space with no matter in it. As a practical matter though, it's really a space with very little matter in it. You might already know that it's REALLY hard to get all the matter out of any space" from: education.jlab.org/qa/vacuum_02.html "Relativistic-quantum-field-theoretical vacuum states - no less than giraffes or refrigerators or solar systems - are particular arrangements of elementary physical stuff."- from: www.nytimes.com/2012/03/25/books/review/a-universe-from-nothing-by-lawrence-m-krauss.html?_r=0 "That makes Matter = Energy; Energy = Space; Space = Time. Therefore matter, energy, space and time are all interchangeable characteristics, which implies strongly that they are all forms of one thing." from: medium.com/@alasdairf/are-matter-energy-time-space-all-interchangeable-e2dbf7d411e5 And this "nothing" from chaos gave us the fine-tuning. www.inplainsite.org/html/anthropic_principles.html kgov.com/fine-tuning-of-the-universe I like starting from the beginning because it shows how we got something to begin with. Not just that, it shows from the start who gave up their logic and who did not. From all we know, creation HAD to be a supernatural event. The first logical and honest step is to admit that. The second step is to seek who or what did the supernatural event and the proof for that. Fools jump to 'who created god', 'god of the gaps', 'science does not deal with supernatural' and whatever excuse they can use to prevent them from seeing the truth. All they can do is fart smoke screens to avoid the issue at hand. Those that deny it was a supernatural event, such a Krauss, Dawkins and a whole host of other fools, live in their fairytale of just making things up with nothing to back them. They say things so outrageous that they ask you to give up your common sense for science. Krauss and Dawkins go back and forth calling it "literally nothing" knowing it is something, and even their something can't produce what we have. kzbin.info/www/bejne/i4WWlZmGhMl0j7c Krauss admits he does not give a damn what nothing means and he then says he wants to be honest with his readers. He is full of doublespeak. He is WRONG and all he has is pride to continue saying such stupid things. www.nytimes.com/2012/03/25/books/review/a-universe-from-nothing-by-lawrence-m-krauss.html?_r=1 "One unsolved mystery is why there is an excess of mater in our universe; this is the Matter/antimatter problem. Why is the universe only made of matter? Matter/antimatter particles annihilate each other to produce radiation. Radiation coverts to equal amounts of matter and anti matter. Krauss says that the CMB suggests the photon-to-proton ratio was a billion to one. He says that by ‘plausible quantum processes’ the universe started out with 1 part per billion more matter than antimatter. Most of the matter and antimatter combined to make photons. Later he admits we still don’t really know how this asymmetry between matter and antimatter began." "The energy calculated for empty space assuming virtual particles is 10 to the 120 times greater than that observed. This is a long-standing unsolved problem." "Krauss also says that this proves you can get something from nothing given the energetics of empty space and the law of gravity. So he says you can get a universe from nothing if you can start with empty space with non-zero energy and the laws of gravity and quantum mechanics. He admits empty space with non-zero energy is something!" Quotes from another review of Krauss' book here: creation.com/review-krauss-universe-from-nothing You can read Hawking, Krauss, Dawkins, and others who praise their gravity but they just made it up and have no idea where it could have come from. And the list goes on. All they have comes down to nothing. From the start, fools gave up their logic and that does not bother them. When it does not bother someone from the start, they continue giving up their logic with what follows. Funny too how Epstein helped Krauss. That money wasn't from nothing, it was from someone disgusting helping another disgusting person, Krauss. www.azcentral.com/story/news/local/phoenix/2019/07/12/former-asu-physicist-lawrence-krauss-got-250-k-jeffrey-epstein/1718659001/

I was raised extremely Catholic, pray and pray and pray and going to Mass, and praying the Rosary every single day and praying the Via-Crucis and going to privates schools with only girls and nuns as teachers. I remember asking my mother: "Do dogs go to Heaven ?? because they fell pain, like us, they show affection and look at us as if they comprehend what we are saying. Is there a heaven for dogs ?? I remember that my mother would answer to me, (kind of frustrated) " You just shut up and believe" I never asked any other questions to my parents any more, but when I was like 11 y/o I started to have my own criteria but I never mention it to my parents. Finally I got married (with a man that I hardly knew), and I came to live in the USA. I HATE RELIGION. RELIGION IS MIND CONTROL. But I did not know that here in the USA, there are many, many religious...... Now I want to go to live at the Moon !!!!!!

[@ByteRush00]

Religion in general is good, having something to have faith in in general is good, but blindly following anything without any thinking is stupid as hell. religion is nice when you find your own way into it, or you get led into it gently, but when it is fully forced on you with no ability to ask any questions, thats stupid as hell. I'm glad I got the dad I did, because he never forced religion on me much other then sending me to a saturday school to learn more about islam, but thats it. He would answer all the questions i have had and if he didn't know the answer he would give his own minor interpretation from what he did know. Now I'm not that into religion, but It's a nice thing to have faith in something, even if it's barely there.

[@MARKETMAN6789]

I'm not religious but I think someone or something is looking out for me ,but I think when people went to church Britain and it's people were much nicer ,I think it was because we were scared of upsetting the god they talked about ,he was like a deterrent to make sure we were good Yes I know about the sexual crime that was commited by a few ,but overall I think people thought before they did wrong because they were scared of upsetting the god that they talked about

Lawrence would be the kind of teacher to get me interested in science. I had so many snobby, condescending teachers who never created an environment where you felt safe to ask questions at the risk of sounding stupid. Great interview with mutual respect and understanding 💕

[@Si74l0rd]

I was lucky enough to have two teachers that were inspirational, one inspired a love of debate and the English language, the other to always ask specific questions and not just believe everything you're told, an interesting tack given he was a teacher but he's right, the only stupid question is one left unasked.

[@jceepf]

I am a physicist. I defined physics as the simplest of sciences: This is why it can be put in mathematical form so easily. You can be snobby about it, but in the end, it is pretty ludicrous. I remember as a kid wanting to be a physicist or a mathematician because it was easy: all yes or no answers....(Math especially). But I was not smart enough to be a mathematician. But I was reassured when I heard Terence Tao ( a man with a stratospheric IQ) saying basically the same thing. Psychology/history.etc... is simply too hard and you can easily find yourself BSing. There is a small difference between men and women that makes it uncomfortable I believe for women to be a physicist. Women (or Asian for that matter, I live in Japan), are practical. So when you start a lecture by saying "neglect friction", which was Galileo's genius idea, many girls are perplexed and treated with contempt. Honestly, a world without friction is insane. Boys tend to think:" Wow, let us see where that will lead us." We are more comfortable with what I call "Mental masturbation", playing pointlessly with ourselves intellectually". I do not believe that one should change the curriculum. But we should be more aware of cultural differences that make physics difficult for Asians and also for women. Asians are good at technology but not in pure sciences. What do you think? PS cultural does not apply ti women I believe. We seem to have different inherited skills.

[@serpentines6356]

​@@jceepf Interesting idea here...Your thoughts on men, and women in sciences thing...I will have to pass along those thoughts and am curious what some others say about that. I know basically nothing about science, but I love to listen to interesting conversations... I got to see Jane Goodall speak, she is amazing. She stayed and took pics with anyone who wanted to. There was a fairly long line, and she stayed until about midnight till' everyone was done. That was in 2014. Think she was about 78-79? I work in the service industry, and one event I worked was a celebratory party put on by the local Uni astronomy dept., to congratulate the Nobel Prize winners for the LIGO project. Kip Thorn, and Rainer Weiss were there. (The third guy didn't make it). Weiss' energy was astounding. He was 80 something and he had the energy of an oh, so excited 22 year old. That's what I thought when I saw him speaking, joking around with Kip, etc. The play, and sense of humour in that room were just wonderful. There were several women there, a couple of them spoke who are a big part of the project. It was such a fun, and interesting party. I had a blast, and learned a little about the project. There at least, I thought the women were represented fairly well. There were more there than I guess I assumed there would be. If anyone can sneak into a Nobel Prize celebration like that one...I highly recommend it! 😁

[@jceepf]

@@serpentines6356 Lucky you. As a physicist I was not overly impressed by the physics or even the math of LIGO. I was impressed by the engineering. If you simply raise the temperature of a 4000 m bar of iron (length of LIGO) by 0.1 C, you expect a 5 mm lengthening. They measured a change of length of LIGO of .000000000000000001 metre! How in the world can this be done???!!! You fart next to LIGO and you probably produce more! As for people, I judge everyone on his own merit. But obviously when you design lectures for a group--- Asians, women, Aborigenes, etc... you should take into account the target crowd. I am not a Post-ModernistNOT AT ALL . Physics remains physics. But you cannot assume that the Western philosophical assumptions behind science are shared by Japanese for example. My Japanese colleagues were amazed to find that Western mathematicians, for example, believe that mathematics is discovered rather than invented..... This is why Asians are more interest in technology than science per se. Science for them is important because it has led to technology since the Renaissance.

Ricky laughs but he's still a dumbass. "People who believe in God don’t need proof of his existence, and they certainly don’t want evidence to the contrary. They are happy with their belief. They even say things like “it’s true to me” and “it’s faith." Ricky Gervais Ricky does not know what biblical faith is because he just does not care to know but he'd rather fart out lies. Biblically, faith means trust. It's a trust by evidence seen. God asks that we prove things. To reason. To get knowledge. To study. God has nothing to hide. We develop trust from what is seen, and that which is not seen yet is trusted also because of the trust built up from what is seen. It's much like a human relationship. We don't trust much until a person has gained that trust from what is observed. The difference is though, God is not limited to human powers. He created us. Romans 1:20 For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities-his eternal power and divine nature-have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse. Ricky is a liar. He believes his god of nothing did miracles naturally with nothing as proof it could. He cares NOTHING about what is observed. What a hypocrite! His god claims to have given us the universe, fine-tuning of the universe for life, life from non-life, information for life before and after it began, the laws of nature, etc, etc, when we know that your god of nothing can do nothing. His god of nothing has nothing to offer and its followers only offer nothing of evidence for their god of nothing. That makes him nothing of importance but the followers of the god of nothing are so delusional that they think they do have something to offer to defend their god of nothing.

Ricky Gervais mentioned how at this stage, he wanted to be 'as honest as possible...', I believe he proved that at the 2020 Golden Globe awards. When I saw that, I got on board the 'RG for life fan club'.

[@PaletteBegonia]

Ricky is truly , one of a kind. He’s a great teacher through comedy , & he’s someone who just seems to have an endless amount of knowledge. An far , far more academic than most people realise. And I’ve noticed that as I’ve grown up on his work. Personally I grew up with things like , ‘The Ricky Gervais show’ , little Britain , doctor who…. Things of that nature , being British…😂 But, Ricky is one comic that’s always stood out too me , even when compared too the American comics , he just has this unparalleled flair that even they over there recognise. He never wanted to do this…. And I think that always makes the best comic stories. The person who doesn’t want to do it… and takes over the world when they do. He was a writer , director first , and he fucking smashed it at that. He literally had hit after hit , for YEARS… And loads of that work , was script free….😂 which says a lot. He has an eye for comedy & tv in general , and knows EXACTLY how to make literally everything & anything funny. But he’s also just overly talented when it comes too a pen & paper. He comes up with amazing content, and that content always has an extremely, extremely long shelf life. I can’t count the amount of times I’ve rewatched the old pods with Ricky , Steve & Karl….😂 And he also created Afterlife… and again , he really showed how strong his writing & acting abilities were. He definitely , without a doubt is one of the greatest comics to ever grace a mic or screen. I definitely think he’s a top 3 or 5 for me personally.

However, the coach said that there is a higher level: "when the art is slightly less constrained, it leaves room for the audience interpretation and then you might have an audience member leave the performance wanting to -change their own lives' ".

There, by that alone, Krauss excused himself of all of that. You simply come up with a childish snot-nosed brat excuse to call it "nothing". But it gets worse, space, matter, time, and the laws of physics, called nothing, created more space, matter, and time. The laws of physics were broken to create more space, matter, and time. Keep in mind (for those that have a working mind), that this "nothing" was eternal, and just by chance about 13 billion years ago according to Krauss, then did its magic. The 1st and 2nd laws of thermodynamics were asleep then. *Krauss' attempt to dispell the need of God, just confirms the need.* "A vacuum, to us, is a space with no matter in it. As a practical matter though, it's really a space with very little matter in it. You might already know that it's REALLY hard to get all the matter out of any space" from: education.jlab.org/qa/vacuum_02.html "Relativistic-quantum-field-theoretical vacuum states - no less than giraffes or refrigerators or solar systems - are particular arrangements of elementary physical stuff."- from: www.nytimes.com/2012/03/25/books/review/a-universe-from-nothing-by-lawrence-m-krauss.html?_r=0 "That makes Matter = Energy; Energy = Space; Space = Time. Therefore matter, energy, space and time are all interchangeable characteristics, which implies strongly that they are all forms of one thing." from: medium.com/@alasdairf/are-matter-energy-time-space-all-interchangeable-e2dbf7d411e5 And this "nothing" from chaos gave us the fine-tuning. www.inplainsite.org/html/anthropic_principles.html kgov.com/fine-tuning-of-the-universe I like starting from the beginning because it shows how we got something to begin with. Not just that, it shows from the start who gave up their logic and who did not. From all we know, creation HAD to be a supernatural event. The first logical and honest step is to admit that. The second step is to seek who or what did the supernatural event and the proof for that. Fools jump to 'who created god', 'god of the gaps', 'science does not deal with supernatural' and whatever excuse they can use to prevent them from seeing the truth. All they can do is fart smoke screens to avoid the issue at hand. Those that deny it was a supernatural event, such a Krauss, Dawkins and a whole host of other fools, live in their fairytale of just making things up with nothing to back them. They say things so outrageous that they ask you to give up your common sense for science. Krauss and Dawkins go back and forth calling it "literally nothing" knowing it is something, and even their something can't produce what we have. kzbin.info/www/bejne/i4WWlZmGhMl0j7c Krauss admits he does not give a damn what nothing means and he then says he wants to be honest with his readers. He is full of doublespeak. He is WRONG and all he has is pride to continue saying such stupid things. www.nytimes.com/2012/03/25/books/review/a-universe-from-nothing-by-lawrence-m-krauss.html?_r=1 "One unsolved mystery is why there is an excess of mater in our universe; this is the Matter/antimatter problem. Why is the universe only made of matter? Matter/antimatter particles annihilate each other to produce radiation. Radiation coverts to equal amounts of matter and anti matter. Krauss says that the CMB suggests the photon-to-proton ratio was a billion to one. He says that by ‘plausible quantum processes’ the universe started out with 1 part per billion more matter than antimatter. Most of the matter and antimatter combined to make photons. Later he admits we still don’t really know how this asymmetry between matter and antimatter began." "The energy calculated for empty space assuming virtual particles is 10 to the 120 times greater than that observed. This is a long-standing unsolved problem." "Krauss also says that this proves you can get something from nothing given the energetics of empty space and the law of gravity. So he says you can get a universe from nothing if you can start with empty space with non-zero energy and the laws of gravity and quantum mechanics. He admits empty space with non-zero energy is something!" Quotes from another review of Krauss' book here: creation.com/review-krauss-universe-from-nothing You can read Hawking, Krauss, Dawkins, and others who praise their gravity but they just made it up and have no idea where it could have come from. And the list goes on. All they have comes down to nothing. From the start, fools gave up their logic and that does not bother them. When it does not bother someone from the start, they continue giving up their logic with what follows. Funny too how Epstein helped Krauss. That money wasn't from nothing, it was from someone disgusting helping another disgusting person, Krauss. www.azcentral.com/story/news/local/phoenix/2019/07/12/former-asu-physicist-lawrence-krauss-got-250-k-jeffrey-epstein/1718659001/ ---Lawrence Krauss, a physicist who retired from Arizona State University, even continued defending Epstein after his 2008 conviction, telling the Daily Beast in 2011: “As a scientist I always judge things on empirical evidence and he always has women ages 19 to 23 around him, but I’ve never seen anything else, so as a scientist, my presumption is that whatever the problems were I would believe him over other people.” He added, “I don’t feel tarnished in any way by my relationship with Jeffrey; I feel raised by it.”--- from: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2019/aug/18/private-jets-parties-and-eugenics-jeffrey-epsteins-bizarre-world-of-scientists

"When I was about, um, eight or nine, I used to lie awake at night trying to imagine infinity...And, um, I'd get there, and I'd go, "Well, what about that?" ...and I'd build a wall around it and go, "What's over the wall?...ah, okay...let's stop this!"" No, Ricky, nooo! That IS the answer! You were THIIIS close 🤣

Lawrence is spot on when he said “you don’t really want your kids to know how the world really works for fear that they will loose their faith.” “And people of faith believe their kids will go to hell if they loose their faith”-Ricky

Wow what a great, relaxed, funny and engaging interview. It's odd that I've only just heard of it now but consider me a fan thanks to KZbin fuelling my Gervais addiction. This is the closest He's ever come to understanding how Karl feels...
