  • Adam Savage, co-host of Mythbusters, speaks at the Reason Rally on March 24th, 2012. This was, in my opinion, the best speech of the day at the Rally...and he had some serious competition.

    ...And finally, I have concluded through careful empirical analysis and much thought that somebody is looking out for me, keeping track of what I think about things, forgiving me when I do less than I ought, giving me strength to shoot for more than I think I am capable of. I believe they know everything that I do and think, and they still love me. And I’ve concluded, after careful consideration, that this person keeping score is me.

    Growing up Adam Savage has been a hero of mine since I was 13. I became an atheist at the age of 19. I am now 22 and I am a Christian who is helping lead an anti-anti-theist movement on the internet for I have seen the damage it is doing. To know Adam Savage was apart of this "Reason Rally" somewhat disappointed me, however his speech was spot on and I still hold my respect for Adam Savage after watching this video. I'm glad it wasn't the whole "people who believe in God are stupid" crap.

    "just as you can't tell me that He is a figment of my imagination" Until *you* provide evidence, that is exactly what everyone is allowed to say.
    "We all have the right to believe what we want " And the right to call bullshit when no evidence is brought forward.

    In addition, when it comes to morality, it's amazing how few people actually live up to the ideals we have created. We lie, cheat, steal with impunity and put a lot of effort into figuring out ways of getting away with this stuff without being ostracized by the society at large. We are opportunistic animals who have developed just enough intellect to question the world at large and the curiosity to attempt to find the answers.
