   @MrEBassist Yeah, for sure. Atheist debaters often have trouble combating the claim that they have no basis for morality. That’s not to say that the religious perspective on morality is better (or even coherent), but we seem to have a need to feel that morality is “objective,” and it’s hard for atheists to ground morality in anything more than philosophy, which can feel a little wobbly.

   @camilocuesta. Agreed. Hitchens has a few lines that he habitually falls back on, even when they’re not really direct answers.

If you believe in God, it’s perfectly reasonable to believe that God was tinkering with people’s lives back then, too.

   I don’t get how anyone can say that the cell is complex if he had at least looked at it.
   The universe is complex, I admit, but not in the sense that it’s unknowable and divine. It’s just more tedious and laborious to study.

   0:29 – “When you look at the human cell and you look at the complexities of the world around us, there’s much more going on, there’s much more of a prima facie case for a designer than I think the militant atheists want to let on”.

   Are we to understand from this that Wilson is an evolution skeptic? Very peculiar turn of phrase if not.
