Christopher Hitchens delivers a sharp and thoughtful reflection on why science provides far better answers than religion, emphasizing that its true strength lies in honesty and curiosity rather than certainty. While religion claims divine revelation and final truth, science thrives on doubt, testing, and discovery. Every breakthrough opens new questions, showing us how little we truly know and how much more there is to explore.

Hitchens contrasts this process with faith-based thinking, arguing that religion stops inquiry by offering false comfort and easy answers, while science invites continuous questioning and growth. He praises the scientific method as the most humble and self-correcting system humans have ever devised — one that replaces superstition with evidence and encourages genuine wonder at the universe.

This clip captures Hitchens at his most eloquent, defending reason, skepticism, and intellectual freedom against the claims of organized religion
