Most of you would have seen his tweet:
"Atheists can never say what was there before the Big Bang. They just say 'nothing' but they can't explain what 'nothing' actually is.
No human brain can, which is why I believe in something that has superior powers to the human brain."
Atheists: Do you know the square root of 5645766546444545454? You don't? Therefore god!
Atheists: Do you know what causes AIDS? You don't? Therefore god! Actually AIDS is a bad thing. Therefore satan!
Atheists: Do you know what infinity plus 1 is? You don't? Therefore god!
Atheists: Do you know why coffee tastes so good? You don't? Therefore god!
Since some atheists DO know the answers, god only exists for those who don't know.
In Piers Morgan's case he doesn't know a lot so has lots of gods.

Piers is just fake news.
I have no idea who Piers Morgan is, and I think that means that I win.
Straw man BS. 1. The big bang has nothing to do with origin of the universe. It is a theory of the evolution / expansion of the universe and possibly of its fate. 2. We have no example of nothing. Asserting that there is something called nothing prior to the universe existing if there was a time or space it did not exist is nonsense. If there was nothing then were did something come from? It appears that nothing means nothing or nothing means something from which something else can come. How do you get from something to nothing in the real world. So far, we can not do it.
""Atheists can never say what was there before the Big Bang. They just say 'nothing' but they can't explain what 'nothing' actually is.

No I hadn't, I'd rather nail my cock to a crane and go bungee jumping than follow Piers fucking Morgan on Twitter, or anywhere else, and that Tweet shows why, he's a complete moron. Look...
"Atheists can never say..." argumentum ad ignorantiam fallacy.
"They just say 'nothing'" Straw man fallacy.
"they can't explain what 'nothing' actually is." argumentum ad ignorantiam fallacy, a.... fucking.... gain. (Piers = moron)
"No human brain can"
Oh now he can predict the fucking future, and accurately predict what the human brain can know, he's a moron.
"which is why I believe in something that has superior powers to the human brain."
Something derived from a bronze age superstition that he can't evidence and is believing based on a string of common logical fallacies.... M-O-R-O-N...best of all if you told the arrogant prick why he was wrong he'd get all superior and condescending, and you know why don't you?
It's because he's a moron.
Failed Newspaper man ,failed pundit ,failed TV "personality?"...….. (pretty sure personality isn't the word I want....but it will have to do)

Piers is an odious little misogynist prick. He worships the idea of a genteel middle class Engerland where everyone has the same values, lack of pigmentation and the nice people go to public school. He is a dill.
I think we should seriously consider the possibility that there is something that has superior powers to Piers Morgan's brain.
I'm struggling to imagine anything less potent to be honest. He's also a thoroughly dishonest and mendacious individual, with all the charm of a mass grave, and all the wit of woopee cushion.
As a tabloid hack / editor he was happy to be involved in the worst kind of 'gutter' journalism. A truly odious and objectionable individual.

In this clip, Piers Morgan is completely out of his intellectual and moral depth as he tries to debate Penn Jillette over atheism. Unable to counter Penn's arguments, Morgan shouts, feigns offense, talks over Penn, and commits just about every logical fallacy in the book. When Penn tells him that he's an atheist about Thor, he reacts like a stunned mullet. He's the first Xtian I've seen who not only couldn't answer that analogy, but actually couldn't understand it.
Penn's patience is magical and saintly.
@Algebe
Just watched the vid. Yep, Morgan is a complete buffoon. A bit of a condescending prick, too.
Intellectually speaking, it's like a boxing match between Peewee Herman and Joe Louis.
Watched the clip, an intellectual Giant Piers ain't.
What market is he pandering to? The right hate him because of his anti-gun stance and the left hate his conservative bullying...who is his market?
@ TD " Who is his market?" Similar chinless wonders( there is a whole swathe of wannabe old style middles class in England), blue rinsed bored housewives who never ever leave home without a handbag and gloves. If you want to see who I am talking about watch "Keeping up Appearances" there's your Piers Morgan audience. Its also an hilarious show.
His demographic probably matches Daily Mail readership, quite a large demographic sadly. His anti gun stance wouldn't matter in the U.K. everyone except violent criminals, are happy with strict gun ownership laws. Hunting is a small elitest pursuit in the UK, there is no gun lobby or comparable political force.
The Daily Mail is a right wing tabloid propaganda sheet. The usual collection of right wing nationalists, fascists, racist reactionaries etc seem to lap it up.
Stephen Fry once said no decent person would read the Daily Mail. Sadly it's been my experience that perfectly decent people are capable of buying into nasty right wing propaganda that plays on people's base fears and innate prejudices.
The much less able, less talented and less likeable Hitchens brother is a regular contributor. Peter Hitchens has a knack of creating an overwhelming desire to take a shower after you read his religious right wing propaganda.
Personally I haven't bought a tabloid paper in the UK since the miners strike in the 80's. Watching the worst of them in the phone hacking scandal of late turned my stomach.
Piers Morgan ranks there with the worst.
He is in the US??
Why would he try appeal to UK people??
@Terminal Dogma: Why would he try appeal to UK people??
He's a Brit. He used to be editor of several tabloid newspapers, including Murdoch's News of the World, which was shut down after a big phone tapping scandal. I don't know why he's become so popular in the US. He's obnoxious, talentless, and petty-minded. He gets into petty vendettas with various celebrities, including Madonna and Jeremy Clarkson (who gave him a good thumping at an award ceremony).
I don't know how he expects to get into heaven behaving like that.
" I don't know why he's become so popular in the US. He's obnoxious, talentless, and petty-minded. He gets into petty vendettas with various celebrities"
That sounds like bestselling television material in America. That's literally the job description of reality stars. And it apparently works pretty well as presidential campaign material, judging by current affairs.
The US now ranks 29th in the world for education. "Enough Said." We are an extremely "ignorant" society on the whole.
@Cog
Yeah, the "educational system" here in the U.S. now is a real joke. Makes me cringe every time I see a high school "honor graduate" who has to use the calculator on his/her cell phone to simply add two two-digit numbers together. It is almost as if the movie "Idiocracy" is coming true long before the five hundred year period that was depicted.... *shudder*
lol I use calculators to add 2 digit numbers together! :P
@Algebe Re: "I don't know why he's become so popular in the US. He's obnoxious, talentless, and petty-minded."
Dude, have you ever watched a Jerry Springer episode? Personally, they make me nauseas just watching an advertisement for it. However, that show and other "reality" shows like it are absolute hits with millions of devout followers here in the U.S. So embarrassing, by the way.....*retch*...*ummmph*... (Excuse me. Just threw up a little in my mouth.) Anyway, people love that sort of mindless and over-dramatic and senseless horseshit for some reason I cannot even remotely fathom. So, with that in mind, dweeb-boy Morgan fits right in rather nicely with the pack.
@Tin-Man: have you ever watched a Jerry Springer episode?
I think I saw that once a long time ago. From what I can recall, they told someone on live TV that her husband was also her brother, uncle and father.
But Jerry Springer is another Brit. I'm seeing a pattern here. A British media 5th column is softening American brains in preparation for re-conquest by the Empire.
Obviously when he was living here, and because like all arrogant narcissists he craves the adoration and adulation of the hoi polloi even while he despises them. I imagine his spiel appeals to the same demographic in the US as it did here, chippy right wingers reactionaries mainly.
OMG I didn't even realise the mediocre little twat had managed to export his stupidity to the US...I am gobsmacked. What the hell America....oh wait.....
@Old Man
Hell, if he plays his cards right and stays ignorant and inflammatory then he can be a rising mega-star personality here in no time flat. Such a shame that jackasses like him are what pass for high-caliber quality entertainment around here nowadays. That is one of the main reasons I do not watch any television anymore. I have a strong stomach, but even I have my limits.
I know right, quelle surprise he's found a demographic he appeals to in the states.
My apologies to those Americans who don't belong to that demographic.
Haven't read any responses yet, but sqrt(5645766546444545454) ≅ 2,376,082,184.2782596508712704456474
Now let me go back and read...

After Reading Thread Edit: I have seen a few of Piers Morgans shows (wasn't the fired three times?) Ain't much I add except to agree with what y'all have already said.
rmfr
I truly hope Prof Brian Cox does find the time to go on his show and point out the error of his ways.
Even his opening gambit is a ridiculous strawman argument and does not address what atheism actually is!
I would liked to have gone on his show with just a pot of salt and used his logic.
"Piers, What is an upwards quark? No? The salt did it!"
"Ok, Something simple, How many hours are in a day on Mars? No? ALL HAIL THE SALT POT FOR IT IS WISE!"
Or how about simply asking, hypothetically you have cancer, would you like us to treat you using the advances of modern science, or shall we just pray instead?
A bumbling fool of a person, with the integrity of a golf ball and the intellect of a small woodland creature that has become roadkill.
He's a snake oil salesman, always has been, a shameless opportunist as well.
And these strong reactions is what keeps his pay rolling in. That's what's good about these opinion style shows like his, takes zero research or preparation and you are not accountable for getting anything wrong.
Great work if you can get it.
