Krauss’ aim is to answer the question “Why is there something rather than nothing?” without resorting to God—and also without bothering to study what previous thinkers of genius have said about the matter. Like Richard Dawkins, Stephen Hawking, Leonard Mlodinow, and Peter Atkins, Krauss evidently thinks that actually knowing something about philosophy and theology is no prerequisite for pontificating on these subjects.
Bear in mind that these people would never tolerate anyone else pontificating on their subject who didn't give evidence of having studied it. There is also the problem for Krauss that the only universe we are familiar with is not eternal.
