I find him to be a very entertaining speaker.

I'm reading his book "A Universe From Nothing" right now. Fascinating but hard work as well.

There are a number of notable Scientists who are also Theists, as you well know Kate, are their findings and their "science" biased ?

This has got to be one of the dumbest threads ever.

"Krauss is an atheist activist and self-described antitheist. Hence his science is biased. Being an antitheist means he's anti God."

"Anyone disagree"

Don't you think their is a flaw in cognitive reasoning here.
1. Do you know why is he an atheist?
2. Do you know why/how he became an anti theist.

In my opinion, without taking all scenarios into consideration before passing judgment, you are bias.

I agree, I started it as a spin off from another thread and thought is would just float into the JWN abyss. Kate xx

" Supernatural explanations are inherently inferior
to natural ones because they do not meet the criteria of adequacy as well. For
example, they are usually less simple because they assume the existence of at
least one additional type of entity. They usually have less scope because they
don't explain how the phenomena in question are produced and thus they raise
more questions than they answer. They are usually less conservative because they
imply that certain natural laws have been violated. And they are usually less
fruitful because they don't make any novel predictions. That is why scientists
avoid them.

What if there was no plausible natural explanation
for some phenomena? Would that justify the claim that god caused it? No, for our
inability to provide a natural explanation may simply be due to our ignorance of
the operative natural forces. Many phenomena that were once attributed to
supernatural beings such as earthquakes, volcanoes, and disease can now be
explained in purely natural terms. As St. Augustine realized, apparent miracles
are not contrary to nature but contrary to our knowledge of nature. 8

Krauss is an atheist activist and self-described antitheist. Hence his science is biased. Being an antitheist means he's anti God.

How does your premise connect to your conclusion? What evidence of biased science can you present?

I will rephrase, his conclusions based on his science are biased

That's not a rephrasing, it's an entirely different position. Specifically which views are biased? And why does that matter?

I am not making this accusation.

You did make that accusation, though. I find it quite curious that, as a professed chemist, a position that requires extreme accuracy in both word and deed, you struggle to communicate accurately.

I have a crush on him. I have watched every you-tube video. I love his humor. Yes, I only understand 20% of what he is saying but I plan on understanding 25% some day. lol I will be reading his book soon. I tell my husband, if he ( LK )was not married and I was not married, I would be a LK groupie......HAHAhaha My husband is a very smart scientist too
