Sam Harris: Fearless Among Peers This is my first time seeing Sam Harris. This was directly after Neil Degrasse Tysons "Stupid Design" Speech. Also the moment I had a moment of clarity 3:50. Sam Harris speaks in between lectures and answers questions of his peers. I named the video "Fearless Among Peers" due to the people present while he was speaking. Roger Bingham, Steven Weinberg, Lawrence Krauss, Michael Shermer, Neil deGrasse Tyson, Richard Dawkins, Scott Atran etc. These Clips are from the "Beyond Belief: Science, Reason, Religion & Survival" November 5-7, 2006. http://thesciencenetwork.org/programs/beyond-belief-science-religion-reason-and-survival User: Curtius Feb 16, 2013 4:14 AM

The Poetry Of Neil deGrasse Tyson

The Poetry Of Neil deGrasse Tyson At the end of the Q&A period after Tyson and Dawkins' magnificent presentation "The Poetry of Science", this douchebag troll (who refused to sit and insisted on getting his "question" out) tries to bait Dawkins/Tyson into a religious discussion with the mildly retarded question about what they would do when they're about to die with nothing to console themselves but their knowledge of science (implying that they're incomplete without the source of origin:god). Dawkins passed the opportunity for retort to Tyson, who answers in a fantastically poetic way. User: BattleShip_Ron Feb 2, 2013 7:00 AM
