I'm taking my daughter to hear him speak, but a part of me is totally uninterested in what he'll have to say. I've read his books, but I can't think of anything this brilliant guy can tell me.
Am I being arrogant or is there something I should ask him?
I love science and it has guided me through most of my thinking, but I can't help being completely bored with most aspects of it.
Maybe I'm losing faith ;-) ;-) ;-)…

Did you really play poker with Einstein, Newton, & Lt. Commander Data?
Or I'd ask him how does he eat food?

I've read a couple of his books too. I followed it up with a recorded lecture, and I found it was pretty much the same material. Even though I get most of what he says and I find it interesting, he gets over my head a lot too.
I don't know what I would ask. I am not sure I am to the point where I could ask anything that I didn't get from the book, that I would expect an answer I would understand.

I'm trying to think of something to ask but I'm drawing a blank. So I would probably just stand there in awe.

Stephen Hawking once said "If the Universe had a beginning then it seems it would have a purpose". I would think then that the Universe has a brain. That brain is God.

of course, for advertising yahoo! solutions while he asked: "In a worldwide it somewhat is in chaos politically, socially and environmentally, how can the human race sustain yet another a hundred years?" as a results of undeniable fact that human beings, in nature, have an innate experience of self maintenance and version, i've got faith that the human race will proceed to strengthen and prosper for longer than a hundred years, it somewhat is 4 or 5 generations from now if my kinfolk reproduced each and every 24 years. while i became 14 in 1976, my technological expertise instructor Mr. Block taught us that in the process our lifetime we'd see worldwide worming and specific the subsequent pandemic. and that i'm happy to make certain that somebody accessible is now coaching this to the masses. human beings in nature are an adaptable species, and if we are sluggish to evolve to worldwide warming like utilising hybrid vehicles and not living next to the sea, i don't think it gets out of hand and inialte the human species. we've already tailored to worldwide mess ups like Chernobyl (which continues to be inhabited) and New Orleans sinking lower back into the sea (the human beings moved). in case you bypass added lower back into background (which has a stupid habit of repeating itself), you will locate that the very nature of the human species is to evolve to the ever changing worldwide around us. check out the Exxon Valdez Oil Spill, or 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake, or Windscale, and you will see that although many perished, human beings continuously rebound and rebuild.

what is the age of universe? Looking thru telescopes we see back in time 13.8 B years. So the light from the galaxies that we are seeing today started from there 13.8 B years ago. That means the galaxies are right where we see them to be today. The galaxies were not at a singularity at that time. How long did it take for galaxies to reach 13.8 B LY away cuz they are not traveling at the speed of light? Can't understand why everyone says universe is 13.8 B years old when it is obvious that it must be much much older. Thanks Bob

Science won't get us where only a direct realization (like the buddha had) will get us. I was listening to a dharma tape from one of the zen masters at zen mountain monastery and he emphasized over and over again how only a direct realization is transformative. Unfortunately, we in the west have removed buddhism's religious elements and made it into the oxymoronic, 'Buddhist Philosophy'.

I think he would be the first to tell you that hearing him speak isn't that exciting. It's what he has to say. He said that "our instincts are getting in the way of our intelligence." Without him and many others, we would be living in another dark ages.

Ask him what makes him think that science is more worthy than religions...actually ask him whether he believes in God, and if so, wad concept?
