A discussion between Lawrence M. Krauss and Richard Dawkins. Admittedly, both are enthusiasts of scientific, critical thinking and, ahem..."not friendly" to theistic viewpoints, to say the least.
I personally don't think there is a Venn diagram intersection between science and faith. I think both have helped society - Relativity, Quantum Mechanics, Civil and Voting Rights - and both have contributed to errors and wrongs, e.g.: The Inquisition; Salem Witch Trials; Eugenics; the atomic bomb. I don't think either professor is willing or able to absorb the intrinsic needs of society into the halls of science. I think both pursuits should endeavor to "stay in their lanes" and not intervene with/demean the other.
Meanwhile: enjoy their discussion. It is enlightening.
