Lawrence Krauss isn't one of the Four Horsemen of New Atheism. Daniel Dennett is the other.

dr krauss has a good book... which exists and doesnt exist.

also in todays world:

"An outbreak of measles tied to a Texas megachurch where ministers have questioned vaccination has sickened at least 21 people, including a 4-month-old infant — and it's expected to spread further, state and federal health officials said. 'There's likely a lot more susceptible people,' said Dr. Jane Seward, the deputy director for the viral diseases division at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. ... All of the cases are linked to the Eagle Mountain International Church in Newark, Texas, where a visitor who'd traveled to Indonesia became infected with measles – and then returned to the U.S., spreading it to the largely unvaccinated church community, said Russell Jones, the Texas state epidemiologist. ... Terri Pearsons, a senior pastor of Eagle Mountain International said she has had concerns about possible ties between early childhood vaccines and autism. In the wake of the measles outbreak, however, Pearsons has urged followers to get vaccinated and the church has held several vaccination clinics. ... 'In this community, these cases so far are all in people who refused vaccination for themselves and their children,' [Steward] added. The disease that once killed 500 people a year in the U.S. and hospitalized 48,000 had been considered virtually eradicated after a vaccine introduced in 1963. Cases now show up typically when an unvaccinated person contracts the disease abroad and spreads it upon return to the U.S.""

Indeed, Dawkins appears smug. I attribute that as a commonly perceived side effect of being correct.

I need to brush up on my logical fallacies. What's it called when one attacks the delivery of the message while ignoring the content?

I don't have a problem with feeling smugly superior to delusional idiots.>> ^griefer_queafer:

as far as i understand it the only thing that create something from nothing is in fact nothing.

What Dr Krauss is referring to when he says "nothing" is actually something..he changes the definition of that something many times throughout his book..sometimes calling nothing a quantum vacuum, or the laws of nature, or a condition that is lacking any matter or energy, but at no time is the "nothing" he is referring to purely nothing..it is always something. So there is no theory of how "nothing created everything".

Doesn't logic itself tell you that from nothing, nothing comes? The first cause must be eternal because if there ever was "nothing", that's all there ever would be.

as far as i understand it the only thing that create something from nothing is in fact nothing.
