Lawrence Krauss was truly the most natural pick to be the opening of the Hitchens memorial especially since most of the others where not scientists, and certainly who would have known Hitchens better that Lawrence...Hitchens, Dawkins and Krauss have been the faces of logical anti-God(s) thinking based on facts this world has ever known...great and appropriate introduction by Lawrence..nicely and respectfully done..great we had 3, but now just two left to carry on Chris's work...best..Richard

"I was happy to be able to relate to the audience Christopher’s love of science, which was inextricably tied to his continued reverence for skepticism and doubt."

Ha, ha! Skepticism and doubt is certainly not how I would describe Hitchens. I'm very skeptical of such a claim! :-)

I prefer to think of Hitchens as a brilliant intellectual entertainer. He was really good at that, and I admired his skill at engaging an audience.
