https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RKNd_S3iXfs Pls, I plead with everyone to watch the debate first and make comments based on the debate. The debaters were 1.Dinesh D'Souza (A popular Christian apologist) 2.Ian Hutchinson ( Professor of Nuclear Science and Engineering, MIT) VS 3.Lawrence Krauss (Director, Origins Project and Foundation Professor, ASU ) 4. Michael Shermer (Founding Publisher of Skeptic magazine) In case, you want a transcript of the debate, you can download the pdf here http://intelligencesquaredus.org/images/debates/past/transcripts/120512%20science%20god.pdf |

I watched the video long time ago. The scientists/atheist won because they presented their case and destroyed the intelligent design argument that was the main crux of the oppositions argument. The theists were always on the backfoot redefining God. Lawrence Kraus is a scientific Christopher hitchens- he bashes the oppositions points without hesitance |

Logicboy03: I watched the video long time ago. Dinesh Desouza also made many false arguments in which he was debunked Dinesh failed when he tried to use an argument ad populum; he said that if 95% of people in a village said they knew a guy called bill and 5% claimed that there is no bill, it is more reasonable to believe that the 5% are ignorant of bill and the 95% truly know bill. He then used it to say that most people believe in god and they spend money on religion thereby putting the burden of proof on the minority that disbelieve in god. Dinesh was countered by Krauss to the delight of the audience- human beings have a disposition to be religious and to believe in certain things but it doesnt mean that the religion or beliefs are right. It is not a proof of God but a proof that humans have a disposition to believe or act in a certain way |

Logicboy03: Anyone with an open mind will enjoy these debatesVery true. Logicboy03:I have always thought about that, a live TV debate show here in Nigeria, I came up with titles like "Beliefs Collides","The Shocking Truth Debates" and "Who Dare Speaks", but I think we may have a rough time getting interested sponsors/producers here in this over-religious nation except if we are to pull it off ourselves. But I strongly think we ought to initiate it from a website/debate forum. Nairaland should have had special sections for Freethinkers|Pagan|Atheist. Ya feel me? I've temporarily suspend working on <<RAPS<<, e no izy. Just watch out some day. 1 Like |

manmustwac: Is there anyway I can download this from youtube? I normally use internet download manager (a software) but not free all you need is a downloader app. Just google "youtube downloader" and you will find many apps that you can install for free and download youtube videos. JD downloader is a free software that I also use |
