Lawrence Krauss debates islamist (from 2013)

I like Krauss.
Mad props to him for sticking around til the end.

These people really are delusional.

After the debate he was attacked by an even more delusional islamist (Warning: Rage inducing).

Isnt Krauss jewish (though obviously an atheist one)? I wonder what they would have done to him if this debate took place in a islamist country.

Very  disappointing.  I expected a slam dunk for Krauss and instead saw a very poor example of civilized intelligent  debate. Starting at the outset with the disrespectful and untenable notion of claiming ridicule as a legitimate tool in discussion, then thankfully failing to make real use of it, Krauss goes on to declare his opponents opening statements as pure nonsense without offering any solid explanation as to why. The debate deteriorates even further in the second half with incessant interruptions by Krauss throughout the other speakers limited time to respond. Quite childish imo. 

The key to all religious turmoil/nonsense ; Krauss' statement "If you take the words (in this case the Quran) literally" That's a huge "if". Just because  so many people have behaved in ignorance believing and misinterpreting words printed on paper as absolute literal instructions and accurate accounts authored in spirit by a supreme being doesn't mean that it is supposed to be viewed that way. Walk far enough along a path honestly objectively seeking spiritual truth and one should eventually realize such a book is not possible.

Krauss won. Logically.
