    It's hard to believe no one replied to this awesome, super interesting and intellectual thread.


    I have no idea what the OP contains. Is it really that dull?


    Who wants to talk about poo?

    I have to advise against this. Last time I watched Mr. Dawkins and Mr. Krauss together I was on acid.

    They are scary beings.

    I remember a thread in which I mentioned this and questioned about two galaxies moving away from each other faster than the speed of light (It's allowed in General Relativity) and a bunch of people used special relativity to show that was incorrect. Except that we are observing this to be happening due to the red shifting of galaxies further away from us. Oh well.

    Edit. Not this video. Sorry. I haven't seen this one yet.
