BTW, did you guys see the Hitchens v Dembski debate? If not, check it out on YouTube as long as you still can (apparently the Christians are DMCAing everybody). Until recently, you could also watch the vid on the official site of the 'Prestenwood Christian Academy' but now they're demanding money... http://www.pcawebcast.com/2010debate/ My guess is that the church has only recently realized just how much Hitchens wiped the floor with Dembski...it really was murder. Hitchens was as good as ever and if it wasn't for the lack of hair, you wouldn't be able to tell how bad a condition he's in. Although it also has to be said that as bad a "scientist" Dembski is, he's a lot worse at debating...so while Hitchens was great, Dembski basically self destructed. It was a train wreck. Apparently the debate took place in a mega church and the church brought in busloads of school kids in order to prepare them for debates with atheists and learn about "atheist tactics". The result must have been terrifying for the church...but see for yourself.
Well, it's also on YouTube, but the videos are constantly changing so I didn't post a link...anyway, here's a link to the first video in a series, just don't be surprised if it's gone by tomorrow: [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hIKLp1UnfG8"]YouTube - Hitchens Dembski Debate Nov 2010 1 of 10 www keepvid com[/ame]
Here are two videos about the debate by one of my absolute favorite YouTubers: [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jot0bs689bA"]YouTube - My first thoughts on the Hitchens-Dembski debate[/ame] [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDZccZVRpyk"]YouTube - Aronra's video - removed by a dmca served by Prestonwood Christian Academy[/ame] Highly recommendable...
Dembski, was not that bad, I would think that Bennet or Dawkins would be better to tear him up on his scientific claims, Hitchens is more a Philosopher and of course a much better debater, but a scientist he is not.
