    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

    Bit stupid of him to declare that the agnostics have got it right. (Full disclosure: I'm an agnostic)
    I can't remember if it was Berkley or Kierkegaard or one of those B names who called it (in this case 'it' being the belief in a Christian God) a "leap of faith" meaning the whole point of faith or believing in a religion is that it's not actually knowable empirically. The difference between "knowing" and "believing" here doesn't necessarily make them any less correct than agnostics saying there's no way to know any way. It's more of an addendum really. "Don't know one way or another but choose to believe" Also, docking points for no mention of the problem of evil in the god problem question.

    Second point, there's no such thing as nothing in this sense. Nothing isn't an actual thing, it's the absence of a thing. Like darkness is not a thing is the absence of light. Light is a thing.

    Now, how do I get THAT guys job? I could write philosophy lists for gizmodo all day. Hey Gizmodo! Gimmie that guys job!
