Michio clearly loves what he does but my god, what a hack.

Separating science and the existence of unicorns makes my belief in unicorns pretty simple, but at the end of the day that separation is just a way to avoid confronting my belief in something that doesn't exist.

Also I don't think he's stupid. He's one of the few people to take what is normally a faceless, unforgiving career and turn it into a moneymaking celebrity gig. If he believes the hokey B.S. that he spouts, then he's definitely stupid, but I think he's full of it.

This whole non-overlapping magisteria way of thinking is dumb. We can absolutely analyze and question in a scientific way why people tend to believe in retarded bull****.

Word. You can't disprove god but you can show someone how the idea of god is merely a production of psychology so that they make the rational choice of not taking that small possibility seriously.

Ahh okay. I dont think that's true. Ive listened to a lot of religious debates and very rarely do you hear that they dont care about evidence. Maybe subconsciously you are correct, but nearly every religious person Ive heard believes they have good evidence for their belief in God. Even when Dillahunty gets them to agree that "faith is not a pathway to truth", they try to skirt around it with some different backwards justification that isn't based on faith alone.

Reminds me of the "well Galileo was persecuted, whaddya think of THAT, Mr. Science?" argument in its useless gotchafulness.
