Saying that science shows that "the universe came from nothing", by which he means it might have come about via a quantum fluctuation of vacuum energy, is very misleading, and he continues to do so. I kind of like him when he doesn't do that or doesn't shit on philosophy for not being science.But the universe could come from fluctuations. Which is what Krauss is saying. He is not wrong.
I think my favorite physicist is Sean Carroll. Knows his physics and his philosophy, and his knowledge of and adeptness in explaining cosmology to rebutt certain theological claims is really without compare. He's one of the 3 or 4 people I would say definitely beat William Lane Craig in a debate, just a few weeks ago. Watch it if you haven't, it was glorious. :p
