I'm moving this line from the main page as I'm pretty sure it's vandalism- "He likes to wear black turtlenecks, as shown in his picture." In the odd chance it's not, give a holler. Andromeda321 00:55, 14 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It may be at least partly true, but not to an excessive degree. It's certainly NN. Gjc8 03:45, 20 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I can't see anything proving that he's an agnostic. What's your opinion about this?--Starnold (talk) 17:40, 4 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

@Starnold: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB124597314928257169.html Krauss states in this article, "My practice as a scientist is atheistic. That is to say, when I set up an experiment I assume that no god, angel or devil is going to interfere with its course; and this assumption has been justified by such success as I have achieved in my professional career. I should therefore be intellectually dishonest if I were not also atheistic in the affairs of the world. " —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.248.3.242 (talk) 21:30, 19 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Disagreement on POV, others invited to comment

If you feel that this article has inappropriate liberal point of view, I encourage you to try to improve it, but adding the vague pejorative term "leftist" fails to accomplish that. Furthermore, although it may be the opinion of some that intelligent design is a "scientific hypothesis," it is the opinion of many others that it is an unscientific powerplay intended to insert ultra-conservative Protestant religious dogmas into public school education. Lawrence Krauss's biography is hardly the place to debate such a complicated issue.

Also, did you really mean to say that Krauss opposes intelligent design "as a result of his involvement on the issue with the state school board of Ohio"? If you want this article to criticize Krauss's opposition to intelligent design, the way to do this is to find reliable sources that you can quote, as well as balancing sources expressing the opposite point of view. betsythedevine (talk) 21:48, 12 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
