An example of why I hold Hitchens in pretty low regard
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UVA5GB_6nWQ#t=4m40s
"...what we now know about the quantum...suggests that nothing from nothing isn't as much of a contradiction as it may seem..."
You know, because if there's nothing and something came from nothing, it's because the quantum did it. Got a gap in your knowledge? Quantumdidit!
And of course, quantum is something. Which shows, of course, that something could come from nothing, since something came from nothing, because of quantum.
This reminds me of a clever quip from Dinesh D'Souza -
"Now, we live at a time unfortunately where what physicists call 'quantum weirdness' has become an excuse for theoretical promiscuity. You don't know how to explain something, all you have to do is keep chanting repeatedly the word 'quantum'. You don't understand consciousness, 'well, it's probably some sort of a quantum thing'. This is not explanation; this is idiocy."
