I gave up when he started listing historical scientists who believed in God. Newton believed in alchemy! It doesn't make it true!

Why historical scientists?  I mean you could go with current scientists.

Something like 62% of natual science scientists believe in god. 

Didn't actually watch the video though.

Still doesn't matter. A whole lot of people believing in something doesn't make it true. Emperical evidence is required.

Edit: Basically he was making an appeal to authority, which is a fallacy.

It kinda does matter.  Since as you know scientists today make more sense then scientsits back then.

Claiming a need for emperical evidence is interesting considering the debate we just had a week or two back where you were for the Quantum mind theory though... considering its considerably less likely then other consiousness theories and has no emperical backing.
