taking to create so many billion light year across universe, and taking one billion year after earth formation to create a primitive life form is not intelligent.. it’s simply irrelevant, especially when scientists are so close to creating a completely synthetic bacteria..and solving problem of abiogenesis finally.
I think the end result of these debates should be: It doesn’t matter about your religion or race. You can be BAD or GOOD from any culture/religion/race . Whether anything is a force of good depends on the people behind that thing.
Why the heck would anyone listen to the Muslim apologist named Dinesh D’Souza? he rims Muhammad so much in his defence of islam he might as well stop the charade and convert to Islam.
very “good”/accurate point. They really should define what they consider “good and evil”. In a general sense I’m assuming “good” means to do things that aid in the sustaining and prosperity of humanity, even though I recognize that death and destruction can play a big role in producing that result. I think the debate may also be too simplistic seeing how violence and community are brought about by tribalism as a whole rather than religion or atheism which are mere subcategories of it.
The Verdict:
That guy believes what he originally believed,
The other guy believes what he originally believed,
Both agree that the debate was if not challenging, then certainly satisfying.
As another “born again atheist”, a rather radical one in that I find many atheist theories disappointing and also conservative in relation to most other well known atheists, I’d just like to state that the term “christian” was misused, by definition of a christian in the bible. Of course, that too is debated
If this is the best guy the Right has, it’s pretty sad for them. Christianity created values?? Atheist faith?? He seriously sounds like a college freshman from Pat Robertson University. His interpretation of “reason” is so incredibly distorted.
The entire premise of this debate is idiotic. To say “more good” or “more evil” completely depends upon what somebody’s concepts of Good and Evil are. There is no universal agreement as to what Good and Evil are.
35:23 dont knowing and believing is just dumb, (sorry dont what to be rude) reason tell us not to assume things from ignorance, agnostics point of view is not based on ” I dont know so I will take a leap of faith and dont believe” is just the smart choice! , concentrate in the domains that are open to empirical evidence not in the ones that are closed for ever and ever like D’souza said-.
Religion is evil
Listening to Dinesh D’Souza makes my blood pressure rise to dangerously high levels
@Ramshobraja lol now your free I assume
18:18 he says there are 60 million atheist in america 3 times. look what she says.
I love how the moderator closes this debate with her own little sermon. Can anyone say ‘poor taste’?

“All men are created equal in the eyes of god”………… buuuuutt if you dont believe what i believe, you arent equal.

your intolerance of knowledge (faulty, poor, incorrect, or not) is harmful to society.
Whats the difference between science and religion? science puts planes into the air, religion puts them into buildings.
Shermer is awesome. He really helped me question some of those ideas that I used to hold as truth like astrology and even god.

agreed
To a certain extent, though most disprove of incest and cannibalism. Not all but most. The Bible endorses incest and infantcide. Immoral Atheists?
Bitch please…..
Is there a debate between Dinesh D’Souza and Richard Dawkins somehwere?

So called Christian values have been around much longer than the Religion itself.
