For those of you who don't know, Lawrence Krauss is a prominent atheist along with Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, Matt Dillahunty, Dan Dennett and others. He is a theoretical physicist at Arizona State University and has written several books on physics including:
The Greatest Story Ever Told--So Far: Why Are We Here?
A Universe from Nothing: Why There Is Something Rather than Nothing
Fear of Physics: A Guide for the Perplexed
Quantum Man: Richard Feynman's Life in Science (Great Discoveries)
Hiding in the Mirror: The Quest for Alternate Realities, from Plato to String Theory (by way of Alice in Wonderland, Einstein, and The Twilight Zone)
The Physics of Star Trek
Last month, BuzzFeed reported that several women have accused Dr Krauss of inappropriate behavior including groping women and making sexist jokes. Arizona State University has placed Dr Krauss on paid leave while the accusations are being investigated.
This may be the beginning of the end for atheism.
Atheism is not going to be impacted one iota by some atheist pervert -- it was Krauss' ideas and not his lewd behavior that counts. I have always gotten the impression that Krauss could be an abrasive asshole at times, and so, I am not surprised by the accusations. Still, he did the World a service in his first debate with William Lane Craig, clearly proving the latter's overt dishonesty.
