I thought the water boiling at 100 and freezing at 0 was classic. I found it on "10 Questions Atheists Can't Answer" Answered - youtube. Quite funny.

Nah I watched the interview and it really did come across as bad.

Masters degrees do not make someone a brilliant man. I have seen nothing in his words to think he is anything but an idiot. And I usually judge people on what they say, not what credentials they claim to hold. Just holding a masters degree does not mean you know some aspect of physics. What aspect of a masters in "Master of Public Administration" do you think addresses the physics of tidal forces exactly??

In an interview with Christopher Hitchens for example the best comment he could come out with was something like "An English man should shut up when an Irish man speaks". If that is the comment of a "brilliant man" then I think your standards are simply lower than mine. He comes across as little more than a televised version of JeffBase40 to me.
