Q&A (Monday, 18 February 2013)  Panellists: Tanya Plibersek, Minister for Health; Greg Hunt, Shadow Minister for Climate Action; Professor Lawrence Krauss, Theoretical Physicist & Cosmologist; Dr John Dickson, Director of the Centre for Public Christianity; and Dr Cindy Pan, Medical Commentator & Author.
SCIENCE AND ETHICS.  Jenni Stoddart asked:  "With the values of God and faith excluded, what will be left to measure the impact of science on human life?"
CREATIONISM IN SCHOOLS. Karey Harrison from Harristown, QLD said: "I expected my children to be taught science in science classes at the local state school. So I was a bit angry when my son was taught a creation story about of the origin of the universe in his Year 11 physics class at the local high school. My son didn't want me to do anything because he was concerned about possible repercussions for his grades which in QLD, count towards university entrance and asked : "What your attitude towards teaching religion in science classes and (to Tanya and Greg), in particular, what you and your parties will do to stop religion being taught in our science classes?"
CREATIONISM IN SCHOOLS. Cathy Byrne from East Ballina, NSW asked (via video for Laurence Krauss): "My research has shown that some of the organisations teach that man and dinosaurs lived together, that the earth is only 6000 years old and that children will burn in hell if they don't read the Bible everyday. How might teaching children such things in our state system effect Australia's future?"
INTELLIGENT DESIGN. Tim Hubbell asked: "(As) only intelligent people can design complex thing, isn't it bad parenting to force your children to learn that people evolved from monkeys, without letting them have the opportunity to think about it logically and come to their own conclusions?"
KRAUSS ON NOTHING. Aaron Kingsley asked (for Professor Krauss):  "The last time that your good friend Richard Dawkins was on Q&A, he was asked rather mockingly how we can possibly get 'something' from 'nothing'? Being a biologist and not a physicist, Richard respectfully declined to give a comprehensive answer. He also mentioned that people often found it hard to deal with the fact that there was 'nothing' before the Big Bang. Yet when you ask the same people 'what came before God?', they often say nothing, or that He had always existed. Now that we have you here, could you please give us a more detailed explanation as to how the universe, can in-fact arise from nothing?"
KRAUSS ON NOTHING. Harold Janson asked(for  Dr Krauss):  "If you are claiming that the universe came from nothing, and nothing isn't really nothing, then where did the nothing come from?"
Lawrence Maxwell Krauss (born May 27, 1954) is a Canadian-American theoretical physicist and cosmologist who is a professor of physics, Foundation Professor of the School of Earth and Space Exploration, and director of the Origins Project at Arizona State University.
