Comment by Annie Thomas on August 7, 2011 at 8:57pm: Discovery Channel's show, Curiosity.

I just watched this with my family. The premier episode featured Stephen Hawking and the question posed was "Is there a god?". <Spoiler alert> The program concluded with him saying, "There is no god." I wonder if others watched the show, and if so, what were your thoughts? I thoroughly enjoyed the question/answer session afterward, and felt that Sean Carroll did an excellent job.

Comment by Marx on August 3, 2011 at 4:33pm: Thanks for the notice, Steph S. It sounds like it could be an interesting program.

Comment by Steph S. on August 3, 2011 at 4:21pm: Hey all -- thought you might like to see this new show.

The Discovery Channel is hosting a new program, Curiosity, that aims to provoke thought and discussion and ask the “fundamental questions facing the world today”. Their first episode (Sunday Aug. 7th, 8 p.m. ET/PT) will be a special with the eminent Stephen Hawking titled, “Is There a Creator?”

Comment by Alice on July 16, 2011 at 3:47am: "This guy said 'galaxies'! He's talking about star-wars. He's definitely talking about star-wars." announced my 4 year old with conviction - as he become aware of Krauss' mind blowing you tube playing beside him...

Comment by Tom Sarbeck on July 16, 2011 at 1:33am: Who but religionists believe the universe started from nothing?

The people who insist that it started from nothing can, and have, produced long, mathematics-based explanations; they have not, and probably can not, produce evidence.

Comment by Chuck VonDerAhe on July 15, 2011 at 5:32pm: I was lucky enough to be at the AAI Convention when he delivered that presentation. I've watched it at least 10 times since then. I'm starting to get a handle on it. (grin)

Comment by Alice on July 15, 2011 at 5:09pm: yes that Krauss you tube is pretty mind blowing...

Comment by skepticmom on July 15, 2011 at 11:20am: You may have all seen this video already. But I have only just discovered it. I thought it was awesome. So, I thought I would share it for those of you out there, who like me, never saw this. A Universe From Nothing - L. Krauss http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ImvlS8PLIo
