"150 Renowned Academics Speaking About God" 150 of the best scientists in the world agree the god fantasy is bullshit.

"They felt that science would be corrosive to religious beliefs and they were worried about it. Dammit, I think they were right. It is corrosive to religious belief. And it's a good thing too."
-- Steven Weinberg, Nobel Laureate in Physics

The more scientifically literate, intellectually honest and objectively skeptical a person is, the more likely they are to disbelieve in anything supernatural, including god. These films are part of a compilation of some of the best examples of such individuals, and their thoughts on the divine. All the speakers featured are elite academics and professors at top institutions, some of whom are also Nobel Laureates.
