Video of Closer to Truth: How to Argue for God?

Epigraph:

Say, ‘People of the Book, let us arrive at a statement that is common to us all: we worship God alone, we ascribe no partner to Him, and none of us takes others beside God as lords.’ If they turn away, say, ‘Witness our devotion to Him.’ (Al Quran 3:64)

Commentary on the video by Zia H Shah MD

All the videos by Robert Lawrence Kuhn have a similar structure: opening remarks by him, a series of interviews and then his closing remarks. So, sometimes one can take each section as a separate and independent existence.

In this video all the interviewees are theists except for Steven Weinberg, who is a Nobel laureate in physics, and comes last in this video. He is an agnostic, in my estimation. He, however, makes a knock out statement against those atheists, likes of Richard Dawkins, who want to present science as a panacea for everything. Weinberg in very articulate language describes the limitations of science and possible need for religion.

Weinberg also has a good message about how to keep all the Abrahamic faiths pluralistic and focused on service to humanity.
